YankeeCanary 0 Posted August 29, 2007 Apparently, Portsmouth are ready to let him go. Yes, he''s 33 years old and yes, there are other "more attractive clubs " interested in him. Maybe there''s a way to excite him into joining a club like Norwich. Whether it''s Stefanovic or not, this is exactly the kind of tough, uncompromising kind of central defender we need to shore things up for now while we sort things out for the longer term. If the price is right, I say be bold and put a package together and go after him. Make him captain for that matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gentleman Jim 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Sounds like a nice idea YC,But ''Arry has intimated in his comments that "the boy" could double his wages by going to Fulham or Rangers, I doubt we could even match his current pay. Also their is the additional lure of Rangers lately qualifying for Europe. As I say nice thought but I can''t see it happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Yes please, a cracking player and exactly the sort of leader our defence could do with.Couldn''t give a stuff about his age either. The days when a player''s career were finished in his early thirties are long gone due to the improved fitness regimes and diets of the modern day player. There''s no reason why a player like Stefanovic couldn''t go on playing until his late thirties.The only concern would be his wage demands, but I would rather see us spend money on his wages rather than the £2million transfer fee or so it would cost to bring in somebody like Callum Davenport.

Tom NCFC 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Very Strong, would be nice to see some grit in the central defences role for once! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gissing canary 2 Posted August 30, 2007 One or Even 2 year deal would be immense! The guy is a commanding centre back, and knows a good player too! I love what he told Harry when he came back! I would snap him up, he could teach shackell a great deal, and will bark commands. Normally I like younger players, but this guy is tough, and good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Loving that idea Yankee. 33? If you ask me it''s a requirement that one of your centreback is at least 30 in order that he has the sort of experience that is requried in this position. A leader! Oh for a leader!! Unfortunately, i fear Jim is right re wages [:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But sefanovic is a very good seasoned campaigner. He wants first team footy which he aint gonna get at fratton park and he''ll be pretty cheap because of his age.

Come on Guys 15000k a week player......i really do not understand the blind faith you have in this board. What would excite him playing for us at the Mo? Yes im being negative but this kind of quality wouldnt be interested at the mo.

BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted August 30, 2007 Good recommendation Yankee.

I would be looking to bring in someone like Paul Scholes as assistant player-manager ( Glenn will likely have his eyes on other opportunities ). By that point his legs will be losing what''s required at Manchester United, although still able to do it at this level if we are not promoted this season. He will probably be looking for an opportunity to move into management to see if it suits. What we require is someone who can be a tenacious tackler in the middle of the park and who knows when to get up front and can score goals.Incidentally, the real reason I brought this thread back up is to remind other posters not to put too much weigh on the opinions of negative input from posters such as Arthur Whittle and Bly.

Trent Canary 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Fair play for coming on [;)]Lets hope he has a good few years in him, not sure if we have heard anything from him about his longer-term future. But a great signing, and although Im not sure what he is like in the dressing room, potential captain material for when Fozzy eventually makes way for an attacking Centre-midfielder. Assuming Clingan plays ahead of him of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
