bald reynard Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 City reserves drew 2 - 2 with Villa, according to Stringer's Twitter. Matty Fryup and Bernie Parker scoring.
Joe. Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 And, according to the Twitter post, Powell is happy at the club.
Liamlcfc1 Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 And, according to the Twitter post, Powell is happy at the club. Didnt think he would leave us as Chrissy is loyal to us and will learn more from Sven then Alan Pardew, i think Bernard Parker would be a great signing
sdb Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Chrissy P could be on his way to becoming a genuine legend at this club. Good to hear Parker scored.
Bert Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Chrissy P could be on his way to becoming a genuine legend at this club. Good to hear Parker scored. Surely you should be more pleased that Fryatt scored?
sdb Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 why? i can't see him playing for us again tbh, whatever he does in the reserves.
North-LondonFox Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Anyone know the team and how the other trialists did?
smudger63 Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Surely you should be more pleased that Fryatt scored? I will be amazed if he`s still with us, come the end of january!
B52 Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Looks like a real test, according to Powell, with Sven and Faz watching. Sven probably met a few of Villas players, Dunne and Ireland.... Villa had Robert Pires, John Carew, Nigel Reo-Coker and Nathan Delfounuso also. Maybe Villa want to offload a few?
darko2k7 Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 I'd snatch their hand off if they offered Nathan Delfounuso on loan , him and Dyer down the wings with Vassell up top would be :eek:
sdb Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Delfonso has been very poor for them this season when played.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Anyone know if the info on wikipedia about Parker potentially facing a 6month ban is correct? Surely we wouldn't be looking at him if that was the case. Would we?
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 December 2010 Posted 15 December 2010 Delfounso or however it's spelt is no better than what we've got.
Jakemoore Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 Delfonso has been very poor for them this season when played. In the premierleague
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 In the premierleague Off the bench. In probably the weakest Premier League there's been. And saying he's had 'minimal impact' would be an understatement. He's not as good as has been made out, bagged a few goals when first played and the hype came with it. Failed to deliver since then. He'll probably be a very good player with time, but we've got players that are just as good, if not better. Premier League status doesn't automatically make a good player. That league has it's fair share of pretty dismal players. Think the gap between the two divisions (excluding the very top teams) is the closest it has been for some time. *

MattLeics Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 Good to See Mardi Fryatt score, hope he gets going again as this is his last chance if not gone already!
Bugg Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 I seriously don't understand the wankfest around Delfounso (sp?), Every time I've seen him he's been gash.
shiv Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 I seriously don't understand the wankfest around Delfounso (sp?), Every time I've seen him he's been gash. couldn't agree more!
North-LondonFox Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 Delfoneso looks to be a very quick, strong, direct and capable player to me (like many English player he is perhaps slightly lacking technically). I suspect its hard for him to jump straight into the Villa team and make a big impact when he's only 19 and doesn't get a consistent run of games. But in my huimble opinion a player with that pace, strength and pedigree has definitely got some potential. Martin O'Neill rated him very highly and that speaks volumes for me. I suspect most people slating ND didn't think DJ Campbell was good enough for City and he's now a key player for a Premier League outfit.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 I suspect most people slating ND didn't think DJ Campbell was good enough for City and he's now a key player for a Premier League outfit. It wasn't a case of not being good enough, he never fit into any managers system when he was here, his time was interrupted by injuries, and by the time Sousa came round, and it looked like we would be using him, he'd fallen in love with Blackpool. I wanted him to go because he didn't want to be here. I think the majority of fans did. You won't find many saying he 'wasn't good enough for us' though.
Thracian Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 DJ had an early disagreement with the club about treatment of an injury. Thereafter it never seemed like his heart was in playing for us. Yes, a fit, committed DJ was good enough. But no, he wasn't ever going to show it here. I sometimes wonder if it was partly to do with personality. And the same with Gradel. We had such a boring approach to our football and tended to discount flair players and fill our team with boring footballers. Soussa saw things differently but was always a stepping stone for the arrival of Sven who really does seem to know how football should be played and, perhaps more important, can cope with the many and varied characters he'll need to play it.
Dom_Harborough Fox Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 Glad to see Fryatt on the scoresheet. I would love to see him force his way back into contention here but I think he'll be on his way in january.

I suspect most people slating ND didn't think DJ Campbell was good enough for City and he's now a key player for a Premier League outfit. Campbell's 3 goals in 13 games as the central striker in a team hell-bent on all-out attack is hardly proof that he's a class act. Luke Varney's got 5 goals from the wing in that time, and he was pretty average in the Championship.
North-LondonFox Posted 16 December 2010 Posted 16 December 2010 Sorry but DJ has played well for Blackpool and all their fans would back that up. He was central to their final push at the end of last season and has been central to their succes this season. Sometimes you just have to hold your hands up when you have got it wrong. It just seemed so obvious to me that the guy could play - f we'd have got behind him we could have profited, but unfortunately the trend (as with a lot on here) often seems to be to see the worst in people. To suggest that Delfoneso is "gash" is a prime example - sorry but i'll stick with Martin ON's opinion rather than a couple of negative half wits on here!
