crabbycanary 2 Posted May 23, 2011 Stephen Bywater or Kelvin Davis - experienced keepers they may be, but both complete ****s.Any outfield player over 30 who isn''t already here.Jermaine Defoe - wrong character to have around this team imo (ditto Jay Bothroyd)Kris Boyd - doesn''t offer enough, most of the timeI''m sure I''ll think of some more - thats just off the top of my head.

You know what I mean! Like PL says, no one on £50-60K plus a week will be here whilst he is in charge. I would rather Lambert sticks to that, for the mid term sustainability of the Club. Now in a few years time when we are a top 6 Prem Club, that will be a different matter, but for next season............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,241 Posted May 24, 2011 I don''t want Defoe either - he''d totally destabilise the team.Don''t want Messi or Ronaldo for the same reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25overpar 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Why do people keep on talking about players such as Defoe who''s wages far exceed those that will be paid at Norwich? Paul Lambert has already said he won''t be having players on £60k a week here. And by that I believe you can read £30k also. The club have also stated that they will not break the bank on huge pay deals. So, back to reality please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I trust my instincts, having backed Holt at 25/1 for Championship top scorer and with him finishing second. I''d love to see Holt and Cody together in the Prem. If D J Campbell can score 13 goals this season after failing as a Div 1 striker with Leicester then clearly anything is possible with players with the right attitude and attributes.

[/quote]You''re obsessed with this ''4 in 21'' statistic but it''s the first time Jermain Defoe has ever had such a poor return in a season. He averages around one in three in the top flight and if he were to become available for transfer in the summer there would be a queue of Premier League teams wanting to sign him. We have absolutely no chance of signing him but there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that a player who has only scored goals in League Two would out score him next season is there?I''m starting to think you might be Cody''s Mum [:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted May 24, 2011 ''Only scored goals in League Two''So the 4 he scored for us, were in League two? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hannibal 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Cause Cody done so well on his last England call up.....oh wait he''s never had one! Statistics can lie, he has made 21 apperances, i suggest you check how many are starts before you go banding those facts about. The reason he wants to leave is he has mainly been used as a sub. Defoe has dropped down to smaller teams in the past (Portsmouth) where he scored 17 Goals in 36 apperances more than a goal every other game! I''d be more than happy with that return as it would almost certianly keep us in the PL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shack Attack 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Fair enough. Only scored goals with any regularity in League Two then. Don''t tell me you think he would outscore Defoe next season as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do we really want to run the risk of 4 million pounds for 4 goals next season ? I''d rather take a punt on 25K Cody !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonzey 0 Posted May 24, 2011 What a strange discussion, Cody isn''t good enough and Defoe''s wages are at least three times City''s ceiling amount. The only reason he ever played for Portsmouth was because they had insane owners who near enough bankrupted the club by paying Champions League wages. So back to the main topic; players I don''t want here next season:Journey men. Players who sign for a club for a nice signing on fee, put the minimum effort in and leave a year later without really caring what happens to the club.Sick notes. Players with a history of injuries, who on paper are great, but in reality only ever play an average of one in three games. Ex Ipswich players. Obviously.Overpaid and overrated types, i.e Carlton Cole, David Bentley. Donkeys like Gary Doherty (fine, he turned into an ok Championship defender, but a Premier League striker?!!! Ha haaaa, I''m still laughing at that one worthy!).I have absolute faith in PL''s transfer policy, so far it''s been spot on. He''s brought in the right level of player at the right time and that should happen again this summer. And let''s face it, it can only be better than Worthy''s in 2004.
