Paxman. You seem to know loads about the jacks to be honest. I questioned you earlier about Cardiff,your answers were very vague to say the least,as soon as someone mentions Swansea you can write paragraphs and talk all kinds of stats. How come? I'm intrigued.


You asked me an impossible question and answered the only way it could be.

However I know loads about most teams.

What? Asking you if Kim was more effective out wide or centre mid? And asking you about fringe players? Just your opinion? Does that sound an impossible couple of questions? Ask me the same questions and I'll answer no problem. :thumbup:

I have as much confidence in bellers, Kim, whits, mutch, hudson, turner, taylor et al as I would in that Swansea defence and midfield when they got promoted. They adapted well, so can Cardiff. Time will tell.

And Cardiff play 1 up front.


Taylor and turner haven't been great in the championship let alone the premier league. Mutch again has only shown signs but goes missing far too often, whitts tips the great conundrum as far as I'm concerned, if he was good enough and more importantly if he thought he was good enough he'd have been playing there my now.

Like you say, you won't be able to tell until next year but on the face of it we need an awful lot more signings than they did.


:shock:
You clearly haven't been watching Taylor or mutch recently, whilst in the case of the latter he was injured for most of the early part of the season. Both have great promise for the higher level IMO


Or you underestimate the quality of the premier league. Depends what side if the fence you are on.


No you said Taylor and turner haven't been great in the championship this season. Totally incorrect. Nothing to do with the PL.


And I stand by it


Examples?

You didnt ask me about fringe players, you asked me "who should we get rid of". I answered with it depends on who we sign.

Kim is better in the Center in my opinion.

Hope this helps.

Haven't been impressed with them in any game. No game has told me they are premier league standard.

Wouldn't have thought so.

So who would you let go?


I wouldn't let anyone go unless bids come in for them. £25m isn't going to go that far in reality, we are probably going to need all the bodies we have at the moment.

But some will have to go. The fringe players that are not getting a look in at the moment. In your opinion which ones will stay and which will get transfers/loaned out etc? You have opinions in lots of things ,i'm just interested on your opinion on this?

See above quote. I think you'll find I did. Nice swerve though.

Yes, you asked me which fringe players should we let go, I said it depends who we sign.

What is confusing you here?

Well you must have an opinion on specific players. In my opinion the likes of Simon Lappin won't be here next season. Also Velikonja will be on his way I would imagine. Think Kev and Conway will also struggle. Gestede also. Whats your angle on the other fringe players?
What's confusing about that?

I would say through that our strikers now (Campbell, Maynard, Mason and even gestade) are better than what the jacks had last season or even have at this moment. And that's without potential of velinkonja.


Danny graham scored more premier league goals combined than all the strikers you mentioned there, and that even before bringing the likes of Michu into the argument.

Come on Carpe you have more sense than that,

You Jack b*stard

Nothing confusing at all, I've answered it every time you asked.

It depends who we sign. If we don't get another striker in then it would be lunacy to get rid if velikonja especially with Maynard and Campbell being injury prone and helguson being, well... Old. That's my angle.

I don't think it would be lunacy. All three mentioned strikers are injured now. We are using Gestede/Mason/Bellamy up top instead of a 1million pound centre forward we've not seen. So I disagree.

Re: Jordon Rhodes!!

Sat Apr 20, 2013 5:16 pm

I wouldn't spent all that money on him personal. We have the smaller foxes in the box type strikers.

Re: Jordon Rhodes!!

Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:07 pm

I would like to see Rhodes and murray(palace)at the city,even though Rhodes hasn't played prem footie,he is a natural goal scorer,he hardly misses any chances he gets to score,give him the right service and he will score goals in any league. also murray has got a great scoring record and is worth a gamble in my opion,i just hope city don't sign the same old players who have been with a club just relegated from the prem.rhodes and murray would be hungry to succeed in the prem.

Re: Jordon Rhodes!!

Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:09 pm

Its silly to judge Murray on one performance but I will :lol: at the CCS I couldn't believe how poor he was, terrible touch, no pace. Missed big chances, a huge no from me :ayatollah:

Re: Jordon Rhodes!!

Sat Apr 20, 2013 8:14 pm

I think he could be successful in the top flight, but I'm not sure we should take the risk.

Which is your right.

However the fact you see Bellamy as a wide man and are advocating him to play up front when he's a poor finisher says it all.
