RudyCanary 0 Posted July 29, 2010 Don,t know if this has already been covered, bit I was speking with a steward today.He said the talk at the ground is that Russel wanted to come back, but was told by Lambert that it was to late now as he had already got a replacement.Did not surprise me as he stil has not got a club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted July 29, 2010 he will get a club - thats for sure.But lambert is right to not have him back. he waited too long now he will suffer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,751 Posted July 29, 2010 I wonder if Russell REALLY had Preston as the sort of destination in mind when he turned down the offer on the table?It''s grim up north. however I would still have had him around our squad though so I hope we haven''t cut off our nose to spite our face on this one?

emmaroyds 0 Posted July 29, 2010 he basicaly looked around to see if he could get a better offer to the one that was on the table.No one wanted him so he thought he`d come back to us.Well it`s too late now PL has gone and bought about 10 midfielders. So no more room at the inn.he wasn`t that good anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted July 29, 2010 I think he was arseing about last summer as well - moving to Burnley or something.I would suggest that the club offered him less, certainly less than he thought he was worth so he wanted to try his luck elsewhere. That suggests he does not have a good agent. The lie of the land contract wise, should have been sussed out BEFORE his contract was up. Any better deal on offer, then take it. Nothing doing then that should have told him all he needed to know in many ways, so grab whatever City were offering.Again this does show a more determined streak about the club. No sentiment. A former City youth etc, well tough. In a ideal world the playing staff and everybody would be one happy family of current youth and former players. Look where that got us with Gunn and Grant. This should act as a bit of a ''warning'' to others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[Y]Though i hope we show a little more urgency and determination to retain Hoolahan at the end of this season without compromising this "hard line" approach, for facilitating his departure under similar circumstances would be incomparably more difficult. Russell was a decent player, but scarce few players are more unique, clever, nor as irreplaceable as Wes at this level of football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cj 0 Posted July 30, 2010 heard Russell wanted a move to leeds after they showed interest in him last season hence why he turned down PL''s offer, personally, like others have said, i thought he was a great player and would have took him back for cheaper although i do like the look of fox, John i agree with you, Hooly at this level will be vital as he showed against newcastle on saturday and hopefull will do this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
