Col city fan Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Many stated that Beckford and Nuge developed a good partnership last season. Pah..... NOW we have a proper strike pairing.. And it couldn't have come too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Claridge and Heskey for me in my time going down. Remember one game when Iwan and Jules were fantastic against Spurs, if only the played like that the whole season we wouldn't have been relegated . I like the look of Wood and Nugent, but they need to be doing it for a lot longer then 3 league games, early days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Heskey and Cottee has to be the best partnership in my lifetime of supporting City. Dickov and Deane were a class above in all, and Ferdinand and Bent weren't bad either considering they partnered each other at Prem level. Dread to think what might've become of Heskey and Collymore together. *Is this Nuge's best return for league goals in a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should beat it this year thou by the end of the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do look as though they have been playing together for years, both link up brilliant and already have a great understanding. They seem to naturally know where each other will be.

I agree they seem to have to have a great understanding, the seem to play of each other in a way I haven't from a City front two for sometime!

Guest Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 waaaaay to early to say that. 4 games!!!! For me it was probably Worthington and weller with Lenny Glover playing the Knocky winger role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Synex Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Lineker and Smith if you're aged between 40 & 50 I would be interested to know the statistics for the Lineker/Smith partnership but in my opinion "in my lifetime" that is the only partnership that can offer a challenge to the current Nugent/Wood one that I can remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 I know they were far from the best but I got a soft spot for Dion and Connelly. Used to love watching them play. Sad I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 waaaaay to early to say that. 4 games!!!! For me it was probably Worthington and weller with Lenny Glover playing the Knocky winger role. It is clearly too early, but their link up play so far has been fantastic. Several times they have been surrounded by players and worked an opening for one or the other. The fact they are like this after 3 starts together shows huge promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49er Posted 19 January 2013 Share Posted 19 January 2013 Don't forget to include Steve Lynex. The three of them were almost guaranteed to score 40+ goals between them a season. Don't think we have seen an exciting winger as Lynex since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 20 January 2013 Share Posted 20 January 2013 Gary Lineker and Alan Smith was definitely the best I've seen so far. I think Paul Dickov and Les Ferdinand last time we were in the Premier League was the best we've had in the past 25 years though I thought that although it was short lived, it was even better than anything we had under O'Neill, in a much worse side.
