Newton 0 Posted May 28, 2015 NO at £8M not a big enough improvement on what we already have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko 0 Posted May 29, 2015 [quote user="Ian"]Got it Nicko, in your world a player has a fixed ability and can never improve? *slow clap*[/quote]I didn''t actually say that though, did I?I stand by what I said. Johnson has looked good amongst Championship teams, but I''ve seen no real improvement to his game unfortunately. I''ve already said I wouldn''t mind keeping him as a squad player anyway.

Donkey dangler 0 Posted May 30, 2015 BJ is better playing on the left flank. He sometimes gets over excited and thus he shouldn''t be played in the defensive midfield role. Furthermore his lack of quality regarding passing in the Premiership shouldn''t get quite so exposed if he plays down the left flank.Playing on the left allows him to get in the opponents box while also helping Olsson.McArthur for £8m., are you having a giraffe?I would sign Mulumbu on a free though.

Dubai Mark 0 Posted June 17, 2015 No doubt he is quality, but my feeling is, "if" we are going to spend GBP8m on a player, it will be a striker and there will only be the one signing with so much transfer fee. Why? because, even working at GBP30k week over three year the total cost with the 8 million would be at least GBP 13m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,162 Posted June 17, 2015 Does anybody else get muddled by all these Mcs around at the moment?James McArthur at Palace, James McCarthy at Everton. Throw in Mick McCarthy (no thanks) at Ipswich and it all becomes very confusing. Surely more so than the multitude of weird foreign names being touted at the moment? Are they all related in some way?Who was this Arthur and what exactly did he get up to all those years ago?Then we have McCormack at Fulham, who has also been touted, and then a few others dotted throughout the game.McCarthy''s Bar was a good read though.

Canaries Web 0 Posted June 17, 2015 Anyone else looking forward to Vadis getting some game time in preseason so we can actually see if he is any good? If he stays fit and with already signing Dorrans we may not need to be looking at strengthening the centre mid positions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
