[NCFC since 1986 0]

loan till end of season, what do we think?

left sided, midfeild and defence, poor old lappin

is it an area we need strengtehning?

[Chunky Norwich 0]

Shouldn''t we have signed Carney from Gillingham......? [:$]

[Dean Coneys boots 1,531]

Well the problem is that pretty much the whole flippin team needs strengthening! So yes...but it is not the priority which EVERYONE understands

[Kissthebadge 0]

Bell is obviously a right winger, so he and Croft cover that position.  Hoolahan isn''t comfortable out on the left, so I guess that leaves Carney and Lappin (and I suppose Eagle) to cover the left wing position.  It would be good to have an outlet on both sides. 

The squad does need strengthening and this would appear to be a good start.

[GJP 79]

Could be a decent signing but we really need a striker...or a couple of strikers ideally.

[The Voice Of Reason 0]

thats handy we need a few more midfielders sitting on the bench

[LinkNR9 0]

A strange signing unless the likes of Lappin and Eagle are going.

[singing canary 0]

this midfielder may be better than the ones we have ..

blimey people moan that we havent signed anyone , when we do we still moan .

no win really !!!

[First Wizard 0]

Oh Gawd, its a central defender and striker we need!

[The Huckerby Delusion 0]

[quote user="Grim Roeder"]thats handy we need a few more midfielders sitting on the bench[/quote]I couldn''t agree more, no doubt I''ll be force to eat my words when he turns out to be Tim Cahills more talented brother but I''m extremely dissapointed with this one. C''mon Gunny wheres the striker and defenders??

[astrodyne 0]

Streweth!!!!....

[Ali Dia 0]

Hardly a good career record is it!?

The 25-year-old began his career as a trainee with Everton before moving to Oldham Athletic in 2003. He had short spells with Halifax Town and Scottish side Hamilton Academicals before returning to his homeland in 2005 to play for Sydney FC.

And getting nowhere near the team at Sheff Utd.

And more to the point - yet another midfielder!!!! Waste of money in my opinion.

Who''s to say there aren''t any or at least one coming in?  Anyhow fairly happy with this new addition.

The 25-year-old began his career as a trainee with Everton before moving to Oldham Athletic in 2003. He had short spells with Halifax Town and Scottish side Hamilton Academicals before returning to his homeland in 2005 to play for Sydney FC.

The winger will renew his acquaintance with City''s first team coach Ian Crook with both of them having helped Sydney to the Australian Hyundai A-League Grand Final in 2005-06. He is a regular Australian international after making his debut for the Socceroos in February 2006 against Bahrain. He currently has 17 caps and one goal, that being a 25-yard stunner at Craven Cottage against Nigeria in November 2007.

He was a member of the 2007 Asian Cup squad that faced the likes of Argentina and represented his country in the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing.

He arrived at Bramall Lane on a three-year deal in August 2007 and has made a total of 26 appearances for Sheffield United in all competitions, scoring three goals, including the only goal in last year''s third round FA Cup victory against Bolton at the Reebok Stadium.

Carney is available to go straight into City''s squad for the trip to Doncaster on Friday evening. He has been allocated shirt number 11.

Strewth even.......[:$]

[WeAreYellows49 0]

Forgot to put at the end, we have a few middy''s, but maybe some of them are leaving?

[singing canary 0]

sounds fairly good ,  we are short of left footed players ,

was he in the squad that beat england... before anyone starts saying hes crap before kicking a ball.

[PhatCanary 0]

[:|]...[:S]...[:|]..

[missing in action? 0]

good playerhe is quick, fair sizegood shot and usually provides excellent service so i think he will add balance to our side, after all. pretty much every cross went through crofty yesterday...

[blahblahblah 2]

You want options, don''t you, when attacking in a game of football.Options are a good thing, right ? 

[@NYCANARIES 0]

Aussie international, he has been good when i see him, this tells me that we are going to play 5 and hoops behind a forward. Still need a CB desperately but Im sure thats in the works.

[Graham Humphrey 13]

Never seen him play so couldn''t comment on his ability really. Agreed that we need options for defence and attack more urgently but our midfield is hardly a hotbed of talent either...

Sorry my text went missing after the smileys, it was supposed to say give the guy a chance how anyone can moan before he''s kicked a ball is beyond me, i''ve never heard of him to be honest but i''ll give him a bloody chance!!

[Evil Monkey 52]

Have to admit I really know very little about the lad, other than what''s on the Pinkun pages... Guess we''ll see!

[Dean Coneys boots 1,531]

Unless he is Croft''s replacement- going other way to Sheff Utd

[Yellowbeagle 0]

Bryan Gunn is aware we need a centre back and a centre forward as he has stated in the press. at a guess and a really big hope i would think he must be very confident of new arrivals at centre back in particular to go and get another midfielder in.

The lad is here with us now lets get behind him, none of us now really how good he''s going to be for us so let''s just wait and see what he brings to us. he may offer us something different tactically.

Ha ha, that''s the usual MO on here ! Sounds like a useful signing to me.

[Jumpers for Goalposts 0]

Sounds good on paper. Has a point to prove and wants to play for us.

[edit] Career

[edit] Junior career

At the age of 16, David Carney moved to England after impressing in a trial match and signing for Everton There he played in various youth and reserve teams alongside Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, most notably at the 2002 FA Youth Cup final. After not securing a permanent contract at Everton F.C., he left the club in 2003. David Moyes told Carney upon releasing him "...sometimes you need to take one step back to take another one forward."^[1] He had brief stints on month-to-month contracts at Oldham Athletic, Halifax Town and finally Hamilton Academical before electing to return to Australia.

[edit] Sydney FC

Carney trialled for newly formed A-League side Sydney FC in March 2005 and was signed to a one year deal after impressing coach Pierre Littbarski. He was an immediate success at the club, scoring twice at the Club World Championship Australian Qualifying Tournament, including the only goal of the final, and again at the Oceania Club Championship to help ensure the club''s qualification for the Club World Championship. On 16 December 2005, Carney scored the winning goal against African champions El Ahly to secure Sydney FC 5th place at the tournament.

In the 2005-06 A-League season, Carney was an essential part of Sydney FC''s success. He made 24 appearances (22 starts), scoring 6 goals and creating a further 6 assists. His dribbling and occasional goal poaching made Carney a genuine crowd favourite at Sydney FC, earned him the nickname "Super David Carney" or "Super Dave" and attracted the attention of clubs in Europe.

[edit] Overseas trials

Carney''s initial contract expired at the end of the 2006 season, and after strong rumours linking a move to Romanian club FC Steaua Bucureşti ^[2], he was offered trials in Germany at Bundesliga side Mönchengladbach and promoted second division club Alemannia Aachen.^[3] Despite scoring twice in a trial match and being offered a deal by Aachen he decided against signing for the club, citing "the language factor" as the main reason for declining the move.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] 2006-2007 season

He remained loyal to Sydney FC and re-signed for another season. A shoulder injury required surgery and sidelined him for the early part of the season. He made 14 appearances (12 starts), scoring one goal and providing 2 assists. Carney played in Sydney FC''s appearances in the AFC Champions League and his good form was rewarded with selection in the Australian national football team to play a friendly match against Uruguay in Sydney, and in the AFC Asian Cup tournament in Thailand and Malaysia.

[edit] Sheffield United

FourFourTwo magazine reported on 29 July 2007 that Carney had left - with his club''s leave - for a trial and transfer talks with Football League Championship side Sheffield United,^[4] reportedly offering a three-year contract. This was confirmed on the 4 August, for a transfer fee of AU$125,000.^[5] He was unveiled as a new signing at Sheffield United before their friendly game with Nottingham Forest alongside fellow Summer signing James Beattie.

Carney played 90 minutes in each of Sheffield United''s first two Football League Cup ties, setting up two goals.^[6] He made his first starting appearance in the Championship for Sheffield United in a 2-0 defeat at Bristol City on 6 October 2007. Carney was the Blades'' stand out player in their League Cup defeat to Premiership contenders Arsenal^{[citation needed]} and has since played a role in their victories against Ipswich, Stoke City, Charlton Athletic and Coventry in the Championship. These performances and his displays in the Australian national team reportedly led to interest from German clubs Bayern Munich, VfL Bochum and Kaiserslautern; and a £2.3 million bid from Belgian champions Anderlecht.^[7]

Carney steered Sheffield United past Barclays Premier League side Bolton, securing a position in the fourth round of the FA Cup, with the only goal of the third round tie.

Having been rested for the fourth round tie with Manchester City, Carney scored the equaliser for the Blades in their league match against Watford in January 2008 followed by a slick finish for the equaliser at Colchester United in the same week before flying out to Melbourne for Australia''s first World Cup qualifier on 6th February.

[edit] Norwich City

On 28th January 2009 it was announced that Carney would be joining Norwich City on loan until the end of the season, becoming Bryan Gunn''s first signing as Norwich manager. Carney would link up again with new first-team coach Ian Crook, with whom he worked at Sydney FC.

[edit] International career

Carney made the Australian squad for the trip to Bahrain in February 2006 to play in the Socceroos first ever match in Asia, and made his full début as a second half substitute. Carney played in his second full international against Kuwait in Sydney, Australia in August 2006. Carney played a full game in the Socceroos 3-0 win over Qatar in their first 2010 World Cup qualifier on 6th February 2008.

Carney recently chose to play for Australia in the 2008 Olympic Games, rather than staying in the UK to concentrate on the forthcoming season with Sheffield United, putting a question mark over his future at Bramall Lane.^[8]

[edit] 2007 Asian Cup

During the Asian Cup championship, Carney was selected to play in the starting line-up for Australia against co-host nation Thailand in the final game of the group matches. Australia won 4-0 and advanced to the quarter finals of the competition, where they faced Japan. Carney played from start to finish in the Asian Cup quarter final, a match that ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, and remained the same score after 30 minutes of extra time. Japan won 4-3 after penalties were taken to break the deadlock with Carney striking Australia''s third and final penalty goal. During the Asian Cup, David Carney was played at left full back, impressing in both matches. He subsequently played in left back in Australia''s 1-0 defeat against Argentina in September 2007. In his next international, against Nigeria in November 2007, Carney scored from 30 yards to give the Socceroos a 1-0 win.

[edit] Player of the Season

Australian magazine FourFourTwo named Carney as the Socceroo''s Player of the Season for 2007-08 ahead of established Premiership players Harry Kewell, Lucas Neill and Mark Viduka.
