Doctor Zaius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Dissapointed with this. Bad business unless we've got a replacement lined up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Reckon we've got enough 'experience' anyway. We're on course to stay up this season so I don't see the need to bring in experience over talent & potential/youth. Leave the expensive Prem desperation buys to the teams in the bottom 5. We should go with more Tiotés and Ben Arfas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Again I'll draw back to the question of examples. I literally can't think of an example off the top of my head where an experienced© player has joined a club in our position and has had a positive influence in keeping a team up, ohelping a team stabilise etc. Not one, but feel free to correct me on that. Peter Beardsley? Anyway I would prefer a young rising star as well, I just haven't heard that we've been linked with one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hawer, Beardo's a different story. Proper class act who offered another 4 years of service. Plus that was 17 years ago Doesn't have to be a rising star, just somebody of the right age who can make an impact immediately aswell as offering more in the future. There is 100s of players out there like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Dugarry for Blues. Think SWP coming in will see us play 451, can't see him moving to be bench fodder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Okay then, tell me the last time an 'experienced' player joined a team of our level and had a positive impact. The examples are few and far between, especially when these experienced players have got little more than experience of being average once upon a time. It'd be far more beneficial to actually bring in players of the right age that will make an impact on the side through trying to improve their careers. Seriously, what would somebody like SWP offer the team in terms of 'experience' that we don't already have? Didn't specifically mention SWP tbh I'd rather have a player who can come in make an instant impact, than a young player who's best years are ahead of him - that's what the summer is for, January is stop-gap and we need a quick striker who can compliment Carroll and a winger who can cross a ball, and I'd rather players who have been doing it in the PL for years than one that hasn't even played in the PL - again, the summer is for that kind of signing, when we're definitely safe. Do we? On the left maybe, not on the right, not for the first team. Well we do, yeah. Because Barton won't play every other game this season (it'd be insane to rely on only him for all crosses), Jonas can't do it and in a few matches time when other teams catch on he'll probably be being marked by 3 players a time, meaning we need someone on the left who can get the ball into the box. Why buy a right winger for that then? Also, Wright Phillips' crossing is average at best. I never mentioned Wright Phillips, I'm not talking about Wright Phillips man!

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Dugarry for Blues. A good example Not really the same as the other examples though, considering he was a gamble from abroad anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 If Pardew's as confused as everyone else here we'll end up getting no one in this window. He doesn't want a striker any more, Barton's got the right wing spot sewn up and HBA will be the future competition for Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 That race suggestion is offensive bullshit tbh. Fucking bollocks. Who is it offensive to? Considering the context, it originally read to me as a very clear implication that some in this thread might not want SWP because he's been unfairly labelled based on his race. Personally I think that's utter tosh, even if you didn't actually mean people on here. Players get labelled by fans, the media and managers based on their ability and what they show on the pitch. Sure there are some bigots and racists kicking about but that's unfortunately just the way things are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 SWP's career took a wrong turning when he chose to join Chelsea rather than Arsenal. Wenger would have brought him on as a player in the same way as he's doing with Walcott. (Not sure how far he'll get with Theo but that's another story) SWP marked time at Chelsea and then ended up in a similar position back at Man City. He does have talent, and it could flourish with the right club at the right time. I'd agree with T Ron, that he's difficult to define either as a striker or a winger. He could do well in a 4-3-3 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 For Sewelly... SWP would be an excellent signing for us, cracking player with lots in the locker. Would be over the moon with signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 He's just one player I'd like to see us sign tbh, it's only because he's going for 500k that I keep mentioning him. There's a load of players I'd love to see us sign before him, but most of them are out of our price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'd take SWP on a loan until the end of the season. He'll be busting a gut to try and get a permanent deal either for us or somebody else.And I'd play him behind Carroll for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 He reminds me too much of Guthrie. They're both products of Liverpool's academy and look a bit similar. Football wise they're completely different players. Put my neck on the line that he will be a success at whichever Prem club he signs for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shaun Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sewelly must have a thing for shite players. Hammill is another winger who can't see a pass and tries to do it all himself. Most time failing miserably. If he had any sense, he'd stay at Barnsley and learn how to pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 This is coming from the guy who thinks Routledge is very similar to Karim Ziani, Danny Graham is more than good enough for the Premier League and that Coloccini is more suited to holding midfield than CB.

Yet I'm the one who's a poor judge of player? Whatever mate. Both pacey wingers who can beat a defender but lack final delivery. Danny Graham is a local lad who can finish. (something our other strikers struggle with) I'd love to see him get a chance in the prem. Not like he'll cost the earth. Colo played excellent in the DM role for Depo. With Smith and Tiote both out, I don't see any better options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
