Nearly 8000 posts and not a single one of any interest. That must be a record?

No Beckford = no hope.

3 pages from one throwaway line. Selwyn is a hero.

He was only on a years contract and a £2m payoff would indicate a £38k a week deal, making him one of the highest paid managers in the country and he''d never need to work again. Instead, he is doing a sales job at a phone company.. Still, if a family friend told you it must be true. [:$]

[quote user="Shyster"][quote user="Larry David"][quote user="Shyster"]...is planning on fielding Jackson on his own up front with the likes of Holt playing behind him in one of the offensive midfielder roles in a 3-6-1 formation?The 3-6-1 is a popular formation with German clubs and the fact that Lambert has acquired so many midfielders does suggest a midfield orientated side.Your thoughts on this would be most welcome.[/quote][img]http://www.soccer-training-guide.com/images/3-6-1.jpg[/img]I think we have the personnel to make it work [Y][/quote] We most certainly do, LD.So let''s pick the team: Ruddy - Whitbread, Nelson & Ward as centre-backs - Jackson lone striker with Holt & Hoolahan behind him.Your turn to select the defensive-midfielders and wing-backs.[/quote]Hughes and Crofts DM''s, Smiths 1 and 2 at wing backs.It could work though I don''t think our players are bright enough really for it to work.

Good luck with them.

[quote user="singing canary"]playing in the champions league is average ..? did not Jackson score for his country not that long ago ..? i think you need to do some homework on some of the players we have signed . young and eager to do well . i think you will eat your words ,at least give them a chance before calling them average . crazy thing to say .[/quote]As I said earlier, Ian Murray played for Rangers in the CL and he was one of the worst players I''ve ever had the misfortune of seeing in a City shirt.Likewise Jim Brennan had scored for his country and was pretty poor.Elliot Ward played in an extremely average Coventry side for 3 years, so he must be average?Andrew Crofts played in an poor Brighton side so he must be poor.You can spin facts all you want to prove a point but at the end of the day, none of us know how a player is going to turn out. We all hope they''re going to be brilliant but chances are they wont. This time last year a lot of folk were raving about how OTJ and Gill were great signings and how Theoklitos was the best keeper in the Australian League.. let''s just see how we''re doing in a few months shall we?

[quote user="singing canary"]Everton and Spurs were also interested in Jackson . Smith played in the champions league for Rangers . shall i go on ..?[/quote]So did Ian Murray so let''s not get carried away eh? [:$]

[quote user="GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary"]that couldn''t have been done at Colney If they were playing a couple of freindly matches against professional German sides then fair enough but from the photos on the official website this week, its just been training each and everyday. Whilst I appreciate that there is also a social/bonding aspect to this trip aswell, what has a secluded training base in Germany in the middle of nowhere got that a night out in Norwich hasn''t ?!?!?

Imagine how embarassing it must be for a club to signloads of players in a summer only to release the majority of them less than a year later..

[quote user="morty"][quote user="Larry David"] [quote user="Jim Kent"]Then why give him a new contract then?[/quote] Was triggered by a certain number of appearences IIRC [/quote] But of course they had the option to not play him and not trigger the clause. Which, if the club hadn''t rated him I''m sure they would have done. It pretty much adds up to the same thing. [/quote] Possibly but we were very short up front at times last season. Not sure Lambert had a lot of choice.

[quote user="Brendo "]Maybe he wants to move closer to Colney and CR? [/quote] Do you know where Whitlingham is? [:$]

[quote user="Jim Kent"]Then why give him a new contract then?[/quote] Was triggered by a certain number of appearences IIRC

I''m quite impressed that in the 6 months he''s been at the club, he''s managed to buy a house through to completion. Must have better solicitors than me..
