I think our style of play and the way we set up doesn't help any of our strikers. They are isolated and spend most of the time chasing the ball. However in the prem you only get one or two chances which need to be taken. Whether the strikers we got now can do that I don't know. So far I'd say no.

Do you think a foreign manager like for arguments sake that Southampton chap could work with our squad which is more workmanship than quality?

Probably not. Absolutely crazy to say that considering weve spent 35m.

Weve got to somehow hold on in there get to January and add some attacking quality.

The strikers have got a thankless task at the moment.

They are feeding off scraps and are getting no support from midfield because we are camped on our 18yard line and even if we break we have no pace in the team.

Beggars belief when you consider weve spent 35m.

People banging on about this Iain Moody yet the squad he and Malky have put together is seriously lacking creativity and pace.

A foreign manager would most likely send Rudy out on loan, sell Cowie, and use Kimbo & Noone each week, try and build some flair into our game, then sign a tricky striker (quick feet ect) and try and play a More attractive game.

Would this work? Or is Malkys theory going to pay off and keep us up?

Either one is a risk or a club in our position imo

A quality striker in January is not going to happen. In fact quality anywhere in January never happens.

The £35m would be a strong argument for Tan if it was not for his antics of Moodgate. Take that away and this would be a big debate.

By attacking quality I am not just talking a striker but some pace and creativity from midfield.

We are not creating xhances for our strikers.

Who knows if Cornelius had been fit from the start Malky may have changed the formation as he doesnt look the type to be chasing balls down for most of the game. He may well see him partner someone up top. Regarding the £35 million spent I don't think we can question £20 million of that being Medel and Caulker. Great signings. The £8 million on Cornelius can also not be questioned yet IMO as no one knew he'd get injured.

Yes I think that would be the first step.

It makes you wonder if now the Ince move makes us the ones missing out on instead of him.

Both excellent players mate that is not in question its just wether that much should have been spent on a CH and DM at the expense of the pace / creativity we are screaming out for.

Ivthink its evident the way both Cardiff City and Thom Ince have started the season it is us who have missed out.

We are crying out for a player to break.the midfield line.

Re: Malky Apologists

I see where your coming from but I'm more than happy with these two. Maybe Malky should have pursued the pace we clearly need before getting an unknown in Cornelius. Saying that it wasn't from the want of not trying with his pursuit of Ince and Moreno.

Re: Malky Apologists

Sun Oct 20, 2013 8:19 pm

Malky can do no wrong in the eyes of our fans. We are set up well defensively like the Championship (where they are no world class players or even quality players) that will unlock your defense easy. So Malky is being naive thinking it'll work at this level, it won't. 35m and our attack is slow and predictable. Malky is seems like a great guy but it will be a long season if he doesn't buck his ideas up soon.


I'd like us to go for a foreign guy. Not saying we'll do the same as Southampton but he'll add flair and some attacking intent in our play.

Re: Malky Apologists

Sun Oct 20, 2013 9:19 pm

Malky had not had any experience of the PL before this season, so he's on a learning curve. CCFC will either stay with him, for better or worse, or sack him. Neither scenario guarantees survival, but if he were the manager of my club, I'd stick with him. If we'd have gone back to the Championship when Brendan was our manager, I'd have still wanted to keep him, because I was confident he knew how to get us up again. He's your manager and, at this time, your supporters will have different ideas on how to progress. If he does get the sack, he'll be snapped up by another club pretty quick.

Another point I think is worth making. Some of you are crediting Tan with spending £35 million on players. Well anyone of us would do that, if BSkyB were going to give us three times as much over the next twelve months. All he's doing is giving you a third of what he's going to get.

You do realise the Sky money has to cover more than just transfer fees?

Re: Malky Apologists

Mon Oct 21, 2013 8:50 am

I feel the Manchester City has papered over the cracks significantly. Malky has a lot to thank Vincent Kompany for because if he had played that game no way would we have scored from two corners. I feel people are giving him the benefit of the doubt at the moment because of that game, lets see if we can get a string of results together against some easier opposition.


Spot on. We would be in bottom 3 if we hadn't scored from those 2 corners, i doubt if we will score form 2 corners again the rest of the season it was just one of those freaky things

Do you realise the Sky money is not your only income stream?

Anyhow, didn't Tan say he thought that the thirty five million was meant to cover the wages of the signings as well?

The rest of the income streams are peanuts compared to the TV money.
Have you got a direct quote from Tan to say it was to include wages or do you believe everything you read on these forums? :lol:
We are a club with historical debt started way before Tan arrived and there are transfer fees, wages, operating costs,.etc.etc.

You make it sound like hes putting 70m in his arse pocket :roll:

Who do you think funded last years promotion cos it wasnt our income streams thats for sure. He was topping us up to the tune of 2m a month plus sorting out the tax man and other debts.

Honestly I sometimes wonder if some of you people think money grows on trees and still believe in the tooth fairy. :roll:
