Mark Posted 19 November 2005 Share Posted 19 November 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ity/4452208.stm Trundle reveals Premier ambitionSwansea striker Lee Trundle says he is good enough to play in the Premiership. Trundle, 29, took his tally to 17 goals in 16 games with a brace against Yeovil on Friday night, and told BBC Sport: "I think I can do it in the Premiership. "I'm a goalscorer and believe in my own ability. That's the way you've got to go out and play football. "It's no good settling for something when you think you can do better. I believe I'm a player who can play at the highest level." Swansea rejected a bid of £750,000 for Trundle from Championship side Sheffield Wednesday last month. The former Rhyl and Wrexham striker says he wants to stay with Swansea as they push towards League One promotion, but he knows the club may be tempted to sell if the price is right. "It's out of my hands if a big club comes in and puts a bid in," said Trundle, who says he has lost a stone in weight from last season. "It's just up to me to do my thing on the pitch and that's what I'm doing." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationwider Posted 19 November 2005 Share Posted 19 November 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ity/4452208.stm At 29, I don't hold much hope for him. He's scoring goals like they're going out of fashion, but he carries a reputation for being overweight, over-elaborate on the ball and has an ego the size of K2. Critically, he's not got the pace to back up his skill, which would probably mean him getting marked out of sight in the Prem. He should sit tight at Swansea, negotiate himself a good long-term contract and enjoy the cult-status currently has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most seasons you see one or more premiership clubs panic buying - and due to lack of funds they gamble on a lower league striker Some examples off the top of my head Brett Ormarod Jan Arge Fjortoft Ashley Ward Jonathan Stead Nathan Blake I know there's plenty of others, these are just the ones I thought of On this basis trundle maybe will have a chance at a relegation threatened club BTW - In the list above I'm not refering to Leicester - Ward became one of these desperation buys after his time at Filbo and Blake obviously before his time at Le Bowl de Walkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystonFox Posted 20 November 2005 Share Posted 20 November 2005 David Connolly was a panic buy for Wigan. he was the obvious last choice. i dont think Trundle can cut it up there, maybe in the championship but will championship players give him time and space to do his tricks? his lobbed goal against Yeovil was a bit special though.

The People's Hero Posted 20 November 2005 Share Posted 20 November 2005 No chance he's good enough for the championship. None at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 21 November 2005 Share Posted 21 November 2005 He'd walk in to our team but i'm not so sure about the premiership. He might surprise a few people though, he certainly knows where the net is from any range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-man Posted 21 November 2005 Share Posted 21 November 2005 His goal against Yeovil was stunning. He is a player who i'd love to have at City. No chance of him coming though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head Honcho Posted 30 November 2005 Share Posted 30 November 2005 Don't know if he'd make it in the Championship but get the feeling he may struggle with his fitness. No way will he make it in the Premier until he loses at least a stone! He has a great eye for goal but playing at the level he is just now he has a lot more time on the ball.

Head Honcho Posted 30 November 2005 Share Posted 30 November 2005 Agreed. He'd do a good job for us. The guy would struggle to keep up in training with most of our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted 1 December 2005 Share Posted 1 December 2005 There's no two ways the boy has talent but i doubt he would be a '20 goal a season' man in the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
