chicken 0 Posted May 10, 2009 We were in talks with him at one point this season and supposedly was not far away from signing for us.There were rumours that suggested that he was told that he was not wanted by Cardiff and was told in January that he would be allowed to leave in the summer which meant he signed a pre-contractual agreement with Norwich.However I doubt that was the case and I doubt that we would be able to sign him.Otherwise I would think he would be a great player for us in League 1. I just think that there will be a good handful of clubs in the championship that will now go in for him not to mention any of the promoted teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Wall Of Tettey 0 Posted May 10, 2009 doc and purse, that would be a good combination. spillane at right back providing the pace ? im starting to feel hopeful !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canary02 III 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Add in a fit again Dejan Stefanovic and you have some decent competition for a L1 team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minster Canary 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Unfortunately, I fear he will get snapped up by a solid Championship team, he''s still a quality player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Minster Canary 0 Posted May 10, 2009 Agreed, he''s one of those players who is too good for League One...just. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACE 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Surely we have to give Spillane a try? A year of experience at the rough end, he has all the attriutes if he has got his attitude right?Doc and Spillane, with a.n.other, plenty good enough for league one.What we should be worrying about is our full backs, we need four of them!

Sheffield uni Canary 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Yeh think he would be a quality signing for L1. Not sure about his wages and rumours up here suggest Sheffield Wednesday are interested as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hurricane 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Hes is due to be a norwich player once the manager has been confirmed-pre-cntract was agreed in January-would have signed him then but cardiff wanted a fee and couldnt find cover to replace him at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superflash 0 Posted May 11, 2009 Would be a brilliant signing for us. Getting a little older but he''ll be rock solid in League one. Bring Lee in as well and that''s two good additions as both ends of the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
