Now, however, he is the heir to Ronaldinho''s crown.Simple isn''t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary Boy 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Can''t we sign anyone English? Seems we are only interested in Scottish players. Wonder why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Chimp 0 Posted June 23, 2007 I don''t recall us ever having a real interest beyond ''one of a number we''re looking at.'' Not especially bothered, we know the money is there for players so I wouldn''t be surprised if we were making quiet moves for better players while all this striker speculation whirls in the media.

sheded 0 Posted June 23, 2007 Stop sobbing ! Rae goes to Cardiff ( a bit of a dump ! ) with a history of knee injuries ! remember knees ? its those joints that, once weakened , finish off more footballers careers than any other injury ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheerio 0 Posted June 23, 2007 I''m not convinced we really wanted him. Rangers obviously didn''t rate him and the forums indicate another Hooze has been avoided Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Canary 0 Posted June 23, 2007 I am not that bothered myself. I wouldnt have complained if we had signed him but it wouldnt have inspired me either, plus he has history of quite a few injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted June 24, 2007 The guy hasn''t returned to regular 1st team football since breaking his leg. That says enough for me, he is unproven after a serious injury so i wouldn''t want to take the risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted June 24, 2007 I''m not too sure how much interest we actually had in the guy, so it is not really him turning us down. I was actually taken with one of the comments from PG the other day, which went (and is a direct quote):“We will be getting people in. Unfortunately, there is a football side and a financial side and what people want, well, some of them are bizarre. Perhaps if it''s a pound or two here and there, that''s not too bad, but there are ones where I''ve had to say thank you very much and look elsewhere. There have been a few of those." The fact is that just because a player is out of contract doesn''t mean they and/or their agents won''t want a small fortune for signing; ''free'' signings they certainly aren''t. I did wonder whether perhaps Rae was one of those and we said ''thanks but no thanks'' so he''s gone to Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted June 24, 2007 Looks like the club has finally learned the troubles of signing injury-prone players, Emblen, Louis-Jean and Thorne to name three. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbncfc 1 Posted June 25, 2007 Questionable injury record, and I''m sure we would have pushed harder if he was a priority.29 too, so wouldn''t really come under the ''young and hungry'' bracket.We can get better I believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
