Master Fox Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 What it does show is how long ago it was since we had effective/inspiring older players.And perhaps some of the names mentioned should act as a yardstick for the future.Cos we've certainly not signed that calibre of veteran in the two years before Allen's arrival. When was the last time we had any type of player that were effective/insipring?
Thracian Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 How many young players have also? That's changing the subject but my point is that while we've probably done better than usual in bringing young players through over the last two seasons - Wesolowski (when fit), Logan, and Porter have done okay in their first year or so - our older players haven't been of a sufficiently good standard generally and it's had a profound effect.
Rossatron Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 does anyone think he wil get a look in next year, or like said befor "one for the future"
Brainy Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 This is an interesting one.Lets keep um coming. he looks an exiting prospect, it just shows that with milan on board we can compete with the bigger clubs he looks an exiting prospect So you've seen him play then?
The People's Hero Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 he looks an exiting prospect He's leaving already?
Tubes Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 sounds promising i just hope MA can get this supposed attitude problem sorted
dandannieldanok Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 Good signing, but dies he go straight into the first-team fold or play with our successful youth team for a year?
Thracian Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 sounds promising i just hope MA can get this supposed attitude problem sorted I love players with "attitude". Part of the reason our team has struggled is because we've got no personalities, no head cases, no belligerent reactionaries. Mind you I hope Allen doesn't sign em and sack em on the same day. Seriously, even the most temperamental people will produce it for people they believe in and Allen quite obviously believes he can get the right reaction. I don't know for sure but my suspicion is that he's only quite the hard case he makes out with people he's happy to make an example of. That way he'll be sure to have his kind of people around him and his kind of clannishness. Good sign really. Nothing like a lan spirit in a football team.
MC Prussian Posted 6 June 2007 Posted 6 June 2007 So you've seen him play then? They all shared the same dream the same night. A sign, I say. But why does that name have to be that long? How 'bout Sappy?
barmy76uk Posted 8 June 2007 Posted 8 June 2007 Hes a striker 6ft2 powerhouse! There are big things expected from this lad,during his trials he played in reserve games for Liverpool and Boro and scored goals! links http://qprreport.blogspot.com/2007/02/qprs...is-brother.html http://icliverpool.icnetwork.co.uk/0500liv...-name_page.html
teblin Posted 8 June 2007 Posted 8 June 2007 So you've seen him play then? Why would "This is an interesting one. Lets keep um coming." Indicate i have seen him play??????? Just an interesting signing. And i want more signings surely?
Head Honcho Posted 8 June 2007 Posted 8 June 2007 "Young prospect Ricky Sapleton, a 17-year-old striker from QPR, is joining City with Allen beating off interest from Premiership sides Liverpool and Middlesbrough to acquire him" Does anyone really believe this statement?

I doubt they were literally 'beaten off', but they must have shown some initial interest
Ric Flair Posted 8 June 2007 Posted 8 June 2007 "Young prospect Ricky Sapleton, a 17-year-old striker from QPR, is joining City with Allen beating off interest from Premiership sides Liverpool and Middlesbrough to acquire him"Does anyone really believe this statement? It's hard to say, i'm sure if either of them really wanted him then he'd probably have gone there. But he's much more likely to gain first team football here than at either of those establishments. I like the sound of Reneil, he sounds like he's got a good future ahead of him. Will be interesting to see how he compares to Odihambo. If he's better than him then it will be a very sound signing, i'm hopeful both are the real deal.
