' CRAIG NOONE? ? '


Would you keep Craig Noone for next season? ?

If not whats he worth or would we get?


Will another club come in for Craig Noone again this summer? Probably not you would imagine, with the highly-talented winger finding consistency his biggest enemy last season.

The Bluebirds have lacked width and, in particular, pace out-wide, If Noone can get close to the form he showed in the top-flight then this should be a no-brainer. Sammy Ameobi has gone back to Newcastle after a miserable season on loan.

Of course, Anthony Pilkington can be factored in here, having been forced up-front for much of the last campaign, surely, the Bluebirds will sign a striker meaning Pilkington could return to his favoured position.

Anthony Pilkington scores the first goal in the new stripAnthony Pilkington deputised up front last season
Kadeem Harris and Matthew Kennedy deserve honourable mentions, but we know the Bluebirds are in the market for a new wideman too.

Depends if trollope can play him to his best ability.! Otherwise sell for couple million.

After this seasons poor performances we'll be lucky to get 3/4 of a mill

Suspect you are right and he didn't enhance his prospects of being sold!

Every player has a price,2m good for No-one?

Trouble is that he relies a lot on his left peg. Now he's lost that extra yard of pace he can't go outside a full back in the wAy that he used to when he first joined us and he's been played on the right where his cutting in on his left foot has become so predictable that full backs are showing him the outside and another player is usually waiting for him to cut in.

Yea give him a season and see how it goes with Trollope

Without a doubt, think he can be huge for us if used to his strengths. Never fitted Slade's rigid defensive team

One of my favorite players when played to potential. Hes a good asset to us would be a shame to see him go.

Such a frustrating player, has the talent, scores some cracking goals. Just haven't seen the consistency that earned him the move from brighton. Should be getting regular goals and assists

Spot on. He has no pace so only ever has one option.

The crazy thing is that Slade continually played the LEFT winger on the RIGHT. He should be a valued member of our team on the LEFT next season.

StT.

I do agree that he is better playing in a 4-3-3 or the one most of the big teams play 4-2-3-1. However, I do feel he has lost his spark, more specifically he seems to of slowed down for whatever reason.

I would accept £1mill, even be temped at 500k tbh

Anything over 1m would be good business, he's not done alot for two years bar the odd wonder goal. Let's get someone who wants to run at full backs and get crosses in from the bi line, or give Kadeem a chance.

the answer to this is quite simple really and here it is............ PLAY HIM ON THE LEFT!!!!

But he no longer has the pace to get past the fullback/ to the by line
