TheCardinal 0 Posted December 19, 2008 I''d have him here. He''s a good player and with our defensive shortages would be a welcome addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigFish 1,986 Posted December 19, 2008 [quote user="TheMarshmallowMonkey"]I''d have him here. He''s a good player and with our defensive shortages would be a welcome addition.[/quote]Typical agent talk. Looks like the binners are hedging their bets on contract talks to see if they really need him & he''s got someone leaking to the press toa) Hurry them upb) Riase the pricec) Put a big for sale sign in the windowAlso sounds like that is the order of preference for him. That said he is the right age and level and would probably work out as cheaper than a loan. The question then is whether Magilton would make us wait until the Summer or want to get rid now.

First Wizard 0 Posted December 19, 2008 A good little player (for a scummer!) and I''d love him here.[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfcstar 291 Posted December 19, 2008 I''d like to see him here, even if he does put in some disgraceful challenges! Would be a great signing in my opinion, and the fact he isn''t one of the 8 chosen by Magilton makes it all the better. Come home lad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted December 19, 2008 uncoordinated thug who will spend more tim in the FA dock then he does on the pitch.... was Vinie jones a "good little player"? because Bruce is exactly the same!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangible Fixed Assets anyone? 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Would be a good signing for us and we need a bit of "steel" in the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desert Fox 0 Posted December 19, 2008 He was easily their best player in the derby match and would bring much needed toughness to our soft defence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted December 19, 2008 He''s yellow at heart and it would be great to carry on the Canaries-Bruce link. A tough minded and no nonsense defender, just what we need imo :) I''m sure Norwich would welcome him also, and forgive him for joining the scum in the first place :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O.T.B.C 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Defo would have him here. He was their best player against us and have always been impressed. I''m not even too bothered he is a scummer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted December 19, 2008 [quote user="Carrow Roeder"]He''s yellow at heart [/quote]is he really? any kid who went to the Steve Bruce soccer schools will know Alex did nothing but spout on about how brilliant Man Yoo were.... yep.. a real Yellow...jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bury Yellow 2 Posted December 19, 2008 Agree with most posters here. Good player with a bit of steel and the right age. Get him!Oh and Jay, Danny Mills was got rid of because Mike Walker thought Daryl Sutch was a much better player......... Yeh right!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''d still have him here. You seem to have something really against him. Besides from being a current scummer, why do you hate him so much? Did you go to these soccer schools and you actually know him? I''m not having a go, just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Spector 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Think he''d be a great addition to the squad, so i''d welcome him with open arms. Plus it would rile a few Ipswich fans!May even be able to persuade his dad to loan us some better players instead of Sibierski next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hog 0 Posted December 19, 2008 He was good against us, tough but good. I would welcome him just to annoy the scum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at why he flaired up against us I think you will find it is born of frustration at the lack of quality in front of him. It seems like he is a defender that likes to attack the ball as well and so you will see him making those challenges and trying to break play up. I don''t think it is down to a bad temperement more born out of frustration.I think he is a commited player and plays with his heart on his sleave, sometimes when those around you are playing with theirs in their pocket counting their money it can bubble over into a game. He seemed like the only player to care on their side in the Derby. No movement or really effort from the front two, no creativity from the midfield that also lacked serious pace. It seems his position at the club is unclear!I for one would say that if he is available for free or little then give him a chance to prove himself - you never know, given the right players around him he could maybe achieve a slice of what his father did for us. I am not going to say replicate because Bruce senior was a leg end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted December 19, 2008 Not a patch on his Dad and when i''ve seen him on the tele (apart from against us) he''s looked very dodgy. But considering we now only have one centre back I''d welcome him as a signing. Prefer Ward though but not at the expense of Bell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
