i would say it says more about RoD and Jeffers
If Alex Ferguson wants to bring in another striker, im sure rooney wouldnt be too concerned.
Cody is our number 1 striker and AT has already said he could be leagues top scorer this season
Hardly a ringing endorsement for Cody...
...who didn't play at Inckleh and won't be going to Scotland...
Because he wasn't fit. We still need more than just Cody: our backup is pretty weak and much as I wish Jeffers and Rod well, we need better than them for a promotion push. A striker of the quality of Fleck and Kilbane would be a superb addition.
Thorn also says nothing will be done until we get back from the Scottish tour!
i agree with the need for another striker but i think jeffers needs to be given a chance i think he has a talent
Maybe we have to wait until Keogh signs for someone before he can move in the market? It's okay saying everyone knows he's off, but in business you can't plan until things are signed. What if we sign two or three players who we've funded from the proposed revenue of the Keogh deal and he breaks his leg in training? My Mrs broke her ankle stepping down a kerb last year. You just can't ever assume if budgets are inter-dependent
Hope so mate. I think people forget that he was very young during his previous loan spells. I actually thought he looked quite tidy last pre-season, he had a good game Saturday from what I've been told, and even last game last season against Saints he wasn't that bad-he held it up and layed it off nicely with his back to goal IMO. Probably the closest thing we have to a target man at the moment?

And with the way we had to wait for the Turner sale before we got Cody, there's a precedent here!

was she due to sign for us ?

I honestly dont think he will cut the mustard, with him scoring 1 goal in 23 games during loan spells in the past 2 seasons
That said, and to give some perpective, I would like to have Nimely back, but during the same period, his scoring record is 1 in 26 games out on loan
was she due to sign for us ?
She's our new secret weapon. Her mission: seduce the ref. I'm fairly certain that Cardiff have been paying someone to do this for the past 3 seasons given the decisions that have been given against us. Sorry MMM, it's all for the Sky Blue Cause, I'm sure you don't mind
i think he has a talent
Not for football though unfortunately. I wonder how C-H would've done this season?
Francios Zoko, get on it City.
Judging from saturdays performance, some of the kids coming through are going to really strengthen the squad - especially that Louis Garner kid. (TBF ANY ManU kid is going to be good at this level).
Unfortunately same cannot be said for the existing signings.
Fleck was the best of the signings, but was hardly convincing against a VERY poor Hinckley squad (I've been told they have lost 10 of the best players due to nearly being relegated last season)
The KK2 was doing a poor imitation of Sideways Sammy, and as for the other one. Well had it not been announced he was coming off, it would have been almost impossible to tell he even showed up!
This is extremely worrying considering he was signed as a STRIKER!
It also puts into focus the judgement of Thorn on his signings. Three of the 4 hardly showed up at all (I'll give it Malaga seemed OK), and his other striker was Cody McDonald.
In this league even to survive, they are going to need to score a MINIMUM of 50 goals this season.
He signed a STRIKER that scored 1 in 10! Even if he doubled his scoring tally, thats 10 goals from a striker in league 1! That is excessively poor even for an attacking midfielder - yet alone a striker!
However, with the kids going great guns, when the blind trust in Thorn goes away, there is a ready made replacement in either Carsley or Rioch. But first the team are going to have to go through the pain of being held back by Thorn
