Any thoughts anyone?
Surely, you're on the wind up with those 2 gizmo??

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: The Championship 2013/14
Just put there to open a discussion, general opinion ( And mine ) is we have a problem in central defence. We need a solution that doesn't have huge transfer fee.bobo the clown wrote:+2 and I suspect, a great deal more.Burnden Paddock wrote:+1Bruce Rioja wrote:Yes.

Re: The Championship 2013/14
I take your point about starting a discussion, but your solution to our problem is to create an even bigger one, with Bramble? Sorry. He's not for me. How the guy keeps getting PL contracts i'll never know.gizmothevoomer wrote:Just put there to open a discussion, general opinion ( And mine ) is we have a problem in central defence.

He obviously has something that managers and coaches see, and we are not talking premiership level, could he do a job at a lower level.Burnden Paddock wrote:

We need to invest in young hungry players with a dash of older heads. Dunne would be the new SKD. Well past his best and blocking our moving on to a new era.

CYL being sold wouldn't be the worst thing to happen.
He seems to have lost that sparkle he had, might be wrong but he has had a full season
to get back to his best and it hasn't happened.
If a £5 million bid came in like what was being quoted in January then we should take it.
Re: The Championship 2013/14
if he's lost his sparkle though and has had a poor season - why would anyone be tempted to roll up and spunk £5mill on him?hi there, i'm craig wrote:Hodori wrote:I think CYL will be sold

A manager who thinks he can get the sparkle back, he is still a young prospect, stoke was being linked with a £5 million bid for him in the last window and he has slightly improved since January.
And I wouldn't say he has had a bad season he just hasn't hit the heights he was hitting before the injury.

Re: The Championship 2013/14
Surely if teams are gonna be taking a look at our wide players they'd rather throw their money on Eagles? Had a great season all things considered, really really hope we can keep him. Can imagine the promoted teams taking a good luck or even a struggler like Wigan if they stick around this season.
Re: The Championship 2013/14
Thought Cardiff already asked about his services.
Re: The Championship 2013/14
Classic. Let's look forward to the new season by deciding which of our most talented players we should ship off first. Only on TW.

The point is players will leave, we won't be able to keep this squad together so which players can we afford to lose, yes in an ideal world we will keep our all assets but that won't happen.
So it's about which players so we let move on and which players we fight to keep.

Re: The Championship 2013/14
Whether a player leaves or not depends on more than if they're any good I guess. I very much doubt Freedman would fight to keep someone who's heart is somewhere else.

Re: The Championship 2013/14
I don't understand why fans would be worried about losing any of this lot, with a couple of notable exceptions. This lot have essentially failed when push came to shove this season, last season and the one before at Wembley in embarrassing fashion. Something with their mentality is not right and it needs an overhaul. And that means plenty need moving on.50sQuiff wrote:Classic.

It's irrelevant how technically good they may be, they've had several chances and come up short every time. Thankfully we have a manager who realises that and is prepared to get a winning mentality in.
When Allardyce was forced to lose the likes of Eidur, Jensen, Fish etc and rebuild with a small budget he went and assembled a winning squad, it might not have been as talented, but people forget that for three seasons the previous lot had in essence, failed.
I think the club spent far too long clinging on to fading stars like Davies, tinkering around the edges adding expensive flops like Petrov and Klasnic and not accepting that we didn't have the right mentality and drive within an expensive group of players.
With a few exceptions, I don't think we should worry about who goes because frankly I don't have faith that this group will turn it round sufficiently. Even if we got into a play-off final would anyone seriously not think that several of this lot would bottle it?
