I'd rather watch someone who is good at football than someone who isn't but tries. Ideally both, of course..

5 or 8: if we look miles off the play-offs, we'll drop out of contention and settle into lower-mid-table obscurity. Bit like Preston.

Was it that really dull 0-0 draw in the mid-80's? That was my first. Still loved it though.

So, now.. "We could build a team, From what we once paid Gary Breen, Once paid Gary Breen, Once paid Gary Breen.."

Did anyone call Bullard a legend? Did Bullard claim that 99.9% of City fans love him?

We should sign Kanu, too.

If he'd been offered an improved deal a year after signing, yeah, I think he would. We got him from L1 Carlisle, he'd have been on average Championship wages at best, despite having just proven hiomself as one of the top 2-3 Championship 'keepers. Similar things happened to Aron and Tabb when...

But play-offs is a 1 in 4 chance of getting promoted. Would we really be happy with that?

No, that would be stupid, whereas what I said has plenty of validity.

Westwood-not offered a new deal until it was too late despite him publically saying he wanted to open talks when he had over 2 years left. King-shafted over the length of his contract, the 3-year offer he had verbally agreed transforming into a 2-year one days later. Keogh-sold after a bidding...

Well said. He's hoping everyone's forgotten his indiscretion.

Identified exactly what the issue was there: he refused to play. That is quite hard to forgive. I can, although I despised him at the time for it, but to have him tell me that "99.9% of City fan's understand" is ever-so-slightly presumptious. And for extra bitch points: my mate met him at a...

Groan..that's really bad. Well done!

He's part Hungarian, part Polo.

He's not the best defensively yet, but that can be said about plenty of attacking FB's. He suits our style & formation which allow him to overlap, is getting better all the time, and IMO it's vital that he stays. Another thing to consider is that the higher turnover of players we have, the...

Calling them a spade is particularly racist, mind..

Yeah, pretty much, and the important thing is that fluidity. You don't get that much movement with most target men, although Polo seems to be in a similar mode to Juke in that he's pretty strong but also reasonably mobile (contrast with Platt!). Agreed about the need to be able to switch...

Perhaps with comparing like-for-like players, the Bosmans will demand more as they are in a stronger bargaining position. Many an agent must think "well, you haven't had to shell out a fee..bring some of that honey over here!" But a decent player on a free will demand less to take a cut from...
