Big Geordie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 'More than two players' sounds like Llambias' words. Remember the 'more than two bids' when the club was up for sale? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Tomkins and Graham not as sexy as Remy and Douglas. But push comes to shove, would you take it? Not only is Tomkins nothing special, he's not the type of defender we need. If he's versatile at all though, it might be the reason we're going for him.

High Five o Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Tomkins and Graham not as sexy as Remy and Douglas. Agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 From what I've seen of Tomkins he struggled in their relegation season but improved massively last year, very good in the air at both ends. Fat Sam seems to have been playing him as a defensive midfielder for some reason but he would be a big improvement on Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm an improvement on Williamson as even though I'm fat, slow and shit, I haven't got the turning circle of an articulate lorry and can pass a ball. In fact, aids is an improvement on Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'd be more than happy constructing a front 3 from this pool of players: Cisse, Graham, Shola (CFs). Hatem, Obertan, Marveaux and Sammy (WFs). We'd be well covered until the end of the season. I'd certainly take Graham at a fair price. We need to buy at least two strikers this calendar year. I say 'at least', because i don't know who's going to fuck off in the summer. So, for example, if it's Graham now and Remy in the summer; or Remy now and Graham in the summer... I'm content either way. It'd be shameful if we didn't sign both a striker and a centre-back this month, but if I had to pick one or the other, it would be a centre-back. This is a rare optimistic statement, but from here on in, I think this team will always score goals. When people say things like "I don't know where the next win is coming from", I do agree to an extent. However I'd probably word it as; "I don't know where the next clean sheet is coming from."

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 remember going down the riverside in Chester-le-Street with my mate who was in our academy when we were about 13 to watch the "Nike Cup", which was made up of u-16 academies. All the parents there were raving about "James" who played for West Ham as a centre back and had black hair. If I had a quid for every time I heard a cockney call him "the new Bobby Moore" I'd have been the richest kid in town. FWIW Ishmael Miller was an absolute beast for Man City academy. Scored 4 in one game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been dogshit when we bought him and wasn't even a Championship player then. Three years later and we still haven't replaced him. Massively weak link in everything we do. Apologies if I caused offence by comparing him to a deadly disease, but in terms of football and problems in our side, he is a deadly disease.

Varadi Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Don't think Tomkins would add much to our defence beyond being another body. We need someone better. I think the fact he's an actual footballer gives him the distinct edge over Williamson - he's been playing in central midfield this season, can you see Willo doing that? (usual Williamson caveats apply - nice bloke, lovely kids, good to his mam etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
