Unbelievable Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Pards loves bringing Perch into midfield with 20 minutes left, man. Would prefer him to bring in Abeid or Guthrie.. Perch really offers nothing we would miss if you ask me.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TherealnorthernTOON Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Perch really does give his all when comming in. Doing alot of running, and despite not beeing the strongest lad out there is really good in the aerial battles. The kid does have a role to play until we get someone better. Lets sign Diame!

loki679 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Wouldn't mind James perch in return... Make it happen! Chuck in Smith and Lovenkrands too and it'd actually be a pretty good deal for them. All three could probably still do a job in the championship.

Beren Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 So he's got pace, but not the tallest chap (presumably not fantastic aerially?) from consensus verdict. Sounds like he'd be a good upgrade on Williamson. That is, if you could literally schmeld them together and add their composite strengths to eliminate the other defender's weaknesses. A body if nothing else. We need a fourth centre back. I'll take anyone who is actually a centre back at this point Not on a five-and-a-halfer, as per usual with the regime, but in the interim while we've only got two fit (trusted) CBs in the whole squad! vs Stoke- Willicini vs WBA/Fulham- Colofappi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Would have thought a top tier CD was in order, not wanting to squander our league position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 You know I don't think these lowball bids are just a cheeky way of providing the illusion "we tried", they're just how those jerks operate. Always going to be haggling. It's probably how most clubs operate tbf, not many negotiations start 'Okay, here's exactly the amount that would satisfy you, in fact have a few hundred thousand more to sweeten the deal' It was never going to be accepted but we have confirmed our interest and the player now knows. Also if they have a price in mind and we go in that low it might bring the compromise price down a bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Would have thought a top tier CD was in order, not wanting to squander our league position. Doesn't seem to be much value. I mean, Carr has a great scouting record, but bargain CBs are probably the hardest find I can think of - diamond-in-the-rough strikers are everywhere, same with full-backs, wingers and CMs, but CBs are difficult buys. If they're established, they're very expensive (and the supply side is slacking far behind the demand). If they're promising, they're young and dropping the odd clanger and no one in football has the patience for them. Going abroad is probably tricky in this respect too. Asking CBs to adapt to the Premier League while facing Aguero and RVP one week, then getting seven bells knocked out of you at Stoke, then chasing after fucking Odemwingie Tough transition.

Beren Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 It was somewhat tongue in cheek Ideally, we would amend the tactics and just not leave Colo and Williamson on the halfway line against quick strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
