First Wizard 0 Posted December 12, 2004 After yesterday''s stunning performance by the team, I''m not sure now whether we need to spend at all come January.Yes, I know that''s not what I''ve been saying all these past months, but we can all change our minds, yes?. However, back to my question. Who do you NOT want in January?.For me it would have to be Duncan Ferguson. Although with the wage he''s reputed to be on at Everton, its unlikely anyway.Forget the many merits of him as a player. I would fear the harmony in the dressing room being destroyed, and that''s the one plus, City has over the rest of the Premiership I believe.Apart from him and any Ipswich player, I''m pretty open minded on this.

DumbleDelia is Magic 0 Posted December 12, 2004 I don''t want a million pound Championship or below striker who is no better than what we have. It would be a waste of money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted December 12, 2004 I would not like peter crouch - over priced for what he isWould not like Marlon Harewood - hasnt set the world on fire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Left Testy 0 Posted December 12, 2004 A Striker - Dean Ashton £1.5m (may have to dig a bit deeper) and A Center Back - Gabidon £500k We definatley need to strengthen these two position. If we buy just a striker we will still leak goals so this will counter act any advantages of having a new striker. We need both or niether Worthy will need a min of 2mil to spend though, Better to spend £2m wisely than £1,2 wastefully (more choices are realistic with Worthy''s budget) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudge 0 Posted December 12, 2004 If we had 2.5m to spend I would not buy Ashton, we need proven quality...............Jason Euell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted December 12, 2004 Generically I dont want anyone who is no better than we already have (Crouch, harewood) who is past their best (sheringham style - Hartson, Henchoz) or who is only interested in the money (Tugay types)For me age is not an issue, if good enough you play whether old or young but the desire must be there. Otherwise I will let you know once they are rumoured to be on their way... OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavMan 0 Posted December 13, 2004 Apparently other teams in for Ashton including Tottenham so don''t think he will be coming here and we definately dont want Peter Crouch as he is no better than Svensson. Guess we may just have to wait and see and let old Worthy boy surprise us once again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FilletTheFishWife . 0 Posted December 13, 2004 So having exhausted the posts of players we do want we now want to solicit a list of players we do not want ?!How about starting another post so we can suggest players who we cannot decide whether we want them or not? That should just about cover it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainbow 0 Posted December 13, 2004 i would NOT buy robbie savage for the reputed £2,500,000 that everton are going to pay. in fact i would not pay £2.50! he has conned the footballing world into believing he is something special when he is in fact a very ordinary lower league standard player.

aubrey rooney 0 Posted December 13, 2004 The good news is we''ve got West Ham in the cup....a chance to run the rule over Harewood. He keeps being linked with us but I ''m not keen, sods law he''ll get the winner, a stunning volley from thirty yards I shouldn''t wonder, we pay over the odds and he never scores again ala Neilsen!!! Seriously though there doesn''t seem to be anybody in our price range that''s going to make a whole lot of difference to what we already have. Unless we can find a new Jon Stead who saved Blackburn almost single-handed with his goals last year we''re better off holding on to the money and spend it when we know where we are come the summer.
