Pabs 0 Posted June 15, 2013 Latest name we are being linked with, good player. Apparently Celtic would be interested if Barnett went as part of deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCFC TIll I die 0 Posted June 15, 2013 No. Let Ledley stay where he is and let us look for someone better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted June 15, 2013 Whilst I would love to think Diego Capel would be willing to sign on in a flash, Ledley is a good player who can operate in either left or centre midfield. True, he lacks pace, but he has a good scoring rate for a mid-fielder and should other options fail, he could do a job for City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted June 15, 2013 I''d probably agree with no better than Surman. Who is a much better player than many on here give him cried for. Very very good on the ball, shame he''s so hard to find a position for, not a winger, ok in CM but limited, hasn''t been tried in Wes'' position.Ledley would have been a great signing in our first season in the PL, but not now.

SYG 0 Posted June 16, 2013 IMO surman is the most naturally gifted player at the club, but I agree with the post above, finding him a position is proving to be so difficult. Such a shame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 Posted June 16, 2013 I''d agree with this about Surman. Always liked him and seemed to be in Hughton'' s plans before he got injured. But depending on who we sign, I don''t think he''ll get another chance unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very gifted player and does more for the team then the average fan sees. I hope he gets a chance again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rolf Harris 33 Posted June 16, 2013 We worked well when David Fox was DLP and Surman was AP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted June 16, 2013 [quote user="Che''s right hand man "]We worked well when David Fox was DLP and Surman was AP.[/quotYep. He works very well when played with passing players. Not players like tettey and BJ. But with fox hoolahan an pilks he loves it and we can pass most off the park. So hopefully an upgraded fox will bring out the best in surman.This is not Ledley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg 0 Posted June 16, 2013 I hope I''m wrong too. The way him and Fox played together was brilliant to watch. Would like to see both of them play for us again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Our midfield was Snoddy and Pilks wide with BJ and Johnny H in the centre).I would agree not much of a try out there but I would suggest one that was probably quite influential in Hughton''s thinking.
