SUPERTOON Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If City were to offer Johnson and Onuoha for Given would people take it? Head says yes, heart says no. Aye would be difficult to turn down given our need for players and both of them would walk into our team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Begbie Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Erik Huseklepp doesn't have a good goals to games ratio at 4 goals in 60 apps. never heard of him though He can only run, cant shoot and cant pass the ball. He was a winger, but played the second halv of the norwegian league as a striker. I dont think he would make it in the premiership, if he leaves norway and brann he will go to holland or france, some midtable/lowtable team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If City were to offer Johnson and Onuoha for Given would people take it? Yes, purely for the fact we need players in their positions and although we would probably get more by selling Given I wouldn't trust that the money would get put back into the squad. I also think Harper is a good keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a great game but Driver is doing ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Driver's a decent player whenever I've seen him. Is Aguiar playing? He's the one that's really stood out for me whenever I've seen Hearts play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Mongo Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Erik Huseklepp doesn't have a good goals to games ratio at 4 goals in 60 apps. never heard of him though As an attacking player, he's not unlike Jonas, with a poor goal and assist ratio, but with pace and an impressive ability to skip past opposition players -- but unlike Jonas, he doesn't track back and defend much (although he's been improving). Erik Huseklepp is only a pseudonym, though, his real name is Inconsistent: at his best, he can rip through teams like Deportivo La Coruna, at worst, his passing and crosses are like Geremi's set pieces yesterday. There's a chance he might succeed, but I think he's more likely to fail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Riise on loan, Driver for 2m, Onouha and Johnson for Shay, along with a decent right and decent holder and the squad would start to look handy. I would be tempted to swap Shay for Darren Bent. Apparently, they've trained all week with Defoe and Pavlychenko up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Anything in the papers from Monday to Saturday should be taken with a massive pinch of salt, anything in the papers on a Sunday should be completely ignored, and you all know this to be true.

lovejoy Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If City were to offer Johnson and Onuoha for Given would people take it? i would take their hand off personally. shay wants out, harper is a good replacement, i have no faith we would spend the cash from the shay sale, we desperatley need players in the positions that johnson and onouha occupy.

S.S.R. Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Mendes has been by far the best rumour. For 1.5m he would be a bargain. What i would have done to have someone who can keep hold of the ball yesterday. A few on here bemoaned our lack of interest in him when Portsmouth shipped him out. He's far too good to be playing in the Jock league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 There's the potential for a savvy manager with a decent-sized transfer budget to go out there and get a good young core of English players for a reasonable price right now. Pick up the likes of Hart, Johnson, Onuoha, Sturridge from City, Nab Bentley and Huddlestone from Spurs Get Noble off West Ham, Mancienne from Chelsea... All available for transfer and other than Bentley, all probably for less than 5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Driver has potential but he's another left winger... I wouldn't want to swap Given for them mancity players. Given is worth much more than two potentially good youngsters. Especially at a time like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhaircut Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 If you could swap Given for Johnson and Onouha, swap Zog for Huddlestone, and then get Driver in for 2m and Riise in on loan, you'd have done decent business. I think a few swaps could be the way forward. No-one has any money, so its everyone is waiting for movement before letting anyone go. Trading players solves this problem.
