City signing Sordell

Mon Dec 31, 2012 10:11 pm

I've banged on about this for the last two months and whilst pissed people off at the start saying it was rubbish and without substance recently the tide has turned and they have started to believe its true. Thus is the LAST time I will say it but when it's confirmed I will post TOLD YOU. He will be a City player ths week. His energy and athleticism is perfect at this time for us ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: Happy New Year to all BLUEbirds :D

That's him. The guy who has sat on his backside for a whole calendar year.

Dont think that was Sordell's fault, Bolton increased the offer in the last minute, and city didnt match it. Hence, Watford refused Cardiff to talk to Sordell.

What an under whelming f*cking signing.

I'd be happy with Marvin. At the time Bolton were in the prem and we are in the champ. Even if the asking price matched and you were a player with no love for either club you bound to choose the prem. ok it didn't work out for him there but you roll the dice.
If true welcome on board Marvin :ayatollah:

Noone had plenty of game time at Brighton

Fact is 2 managers at Bolton didnt famcy him havng seen him day in, day out.

Both these managers were strikers so should know a thing or two of whats required.

Under malky sordell did really well, hopefully he will again

Re: City signing Sordell

Mon Dec 31, 2012 10:42 pm

Looked alright at the Olympics plus was excellent in the championship last year.

Would he improve the squad? Sure.

He's young and has a sell-on potential.

Good signing if it comes off.

I only remember him from the time malky 1st tried to sign him and always seemed to be missing from then on

People may not like this, but to be fair, with Maynard out, he would be the best striker at the club. I also think he could do well in the Prem. He played in the Olympics, and did decent. I'm happy with the signing.

Erm Bellamy is playing upfront he aint better than him and hes probably not better than Helguson, just got pace on him.

Can't tell him to f**k off cos he doesn't shit his pants with excitement when told of our interest. He's a London boy, of course his 1st choice is to go back to what's familiar especially after the terrible 12 months he has had.

The bit I like is "all I wanna do is play football."

Was he caught out though? For a start, we don't know for a fact that it was him and even if it was this info is secondhand via an untrustworthy source..

If he signs and puts on the shirt then he should have everyone's 100% support. If he bangs the goals in I'm sure people will forget about those tweets.

I would love players to want to walk to Cardiff to sign up but unless they have an affiliation with the club then we must be reasonable and accept that players will want to assess all of their options before committing to the first club that shows an interest.

for all we know the "is that the only option?" couldve easily been mistaken from "cardiff are the only team in for me?" not as juicy though, so wont get any attention.....

Re: City signing Sordell

Malky knows him, was a top player for Watford and England u21s, malky obviously sees something in him and could get him back to his best, if we had signed him when he went to Bolton people would have been raving about it, now he's gone to bolton and things not worked out for him for whatever reason people thinks he's a shit signing, still the same player and not as if he's over the hill he is still young so give him a chance

Re: City signing Sordell
