Ooh Ahh Lee Power 2 Posted July 3, 2008 Just wanted to gain peoples opinions on Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. Just had a pretty sticky release from Cardiff. Can pop up and score some goals. And I''m sure with Hoolahan supplying some decent balls he could be a success for us. Admittingly he is getting on a bit and may prove to be an expensive choice for someone who could just be a sub, but hey the way things are shaping up we are just looking at freebies so what better freebie!!! What do you think guys???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
we8wba 0 Posted July 3, 2008 most people will say no to the lad but he knows where the goals are and scored goals all levels.maybe good addition but get him on play as you play deal may be better or performance related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobzilla 131 Posted July 3, 2008 Jimmy hasn''t really featured as much as perhaps his reputation suggested he should have this year for Cardiff. I bet he wasn''t cheap on the wages, and he has no real motivation for being there. I''m not convinced on this one. I certainly don''t think he''s another Dion.And re your comment on freebies, the big cost on any player is the present value of their future wages. I don''t think that would be anywhere like cheap for Jimmy (but don''t know for sure). I wouldn''t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyJR 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Not been the summer of furious transfer activity we were promised one has to say. Stormy seas ahead I fear unless you listen to the Doc who seems to think we will be pushing for promotion with what we have - numpty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted July 3, 2008 No chance. Especially since the main reason Hux was not given a new contract is because GR wanted to get him off the wage bill. JFH''s wages will be even bigger than Hux and they nearly singlehandedly crippled Cardiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canariesworld 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Some interesting points made. I agree, that with some good service from the wings he can be a real threat, however I certainly don''t think that he would have anywhere near the kind of possitive influence in the dressing room that Dion had and he may suffer from the big fish in small pond attitude a la Helveg. This one for me definately comes down to wages: Worth a gamble in my eyes but only at the right price. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am confident that Reoder knows what he is doing, we have been linked with Sibierski and Rigters. Both would be good players at this level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
