Essjayess 307 Posted December 29, 2015 I think until Mr. Naismith is wheeled out officially as a City player it should not be assumed this is a done deal. Indeed the Liverpool Echo in the last half hour are saying that Roberto Martinez still plans to have talks with the player in January and that the final decision rests with the manager. Maybe the Echo are being overtaken by the speed of this transaction?...or maybe the BBC are jumping the gun a bit to quick?..proves its best to wait, but until we actually see him holding up the yellow and green shirt its not a done deal.

He wants to come here but as you say it''s never 100 per cent until he''s unveiled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canaries north 151 Posted December 29, 2015 Not a signing that makes me jump with joy. Steady player who will offer something we haven''t got but not set the world on fire. Someone said a 1 in 4 ratio during his career. I would count the seasons in Scotland out as we must learn from other strikers we have signed. Premier league 1 in 7or 8. As said solid move but not fireworks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vos 155 Posted December 29, 2015 A good steady player who always plays with a bit of enthusiasm. Don''t see him to be much different than our current large crop of midfielders. Our priorities are a strong mobile centre back plus an out and out striker. Amazingly £8 million is about the going rate for a run of the mill footballer.
