Etien and Harris are both a waste of money

Sat Jan 05, 2013 4:58 pm

While I agree that not every signing will come good I must say that MM has got it right by keeping these two out of the first team because they simply aren't good enough.

Cut losses and get rid asap in my opinion.

yeah agree, etien has looked decent in development games though.

both players for the future, but perhaps people will stop questioning MM's judgement on giving them 1st team games now?

Etien looks decent player just looks so weak on the ball, Harris looks terrible.

I would rather the money spent on both to have gone on todays first team rather than gamble. Mark my words neither of these will do well for the club.Harsh but true

You need to by players with potential and make them develop, a successful club is run off this model. Look how dave jones buy for now policy worked

but it isn't just one game is it..? MM has both in training every single day yet people on here have been crying out for them to be given a chance. Now you can see why they haven't. People need to respect MM's judgement more about his selections for league games

Etien had no service from the midfield today......and I think thats bit unfair to criticise him.

But I agree, very disappointed with Harris performance.

Exactlly he would be getting much better service in the first team than a team of kids and Mcphail (who is past it)

How on earth is backing MM's judgement on not picking him more often seen as 'Negative'..? Some of you are completely blinkered I must say,

harris didnt really cost much to be fair.

How about his judgment in buying them in the first place my dear Gavlar

Good job you don't work in football then.

Re: Etien and Harris are both a waste of money

Sat Jan 05, 2013 5:25 pm

f*cking hell. Attention seeking/self publicity is good thing as long as the end result doesn't make you look like a tool.

I've seen EV score braces in development matches and it was clear he knows how to score but needs to work on physicality. Harris has great potential too. That's why they play in the development squad.

Making ill-judged comments from what you've personally seen at one single game just makes you look like a cheap self-publicist that knows nothing about football or this club. Ridiculous post.

Good youngsters who have a future Malky knows what he is doing, these lads were put against a tough non League team who are fighting for their lives I do not think these 2 lads are to blame there were 11 young players who had today to prove a point they didnt.

So now they have to keep fighting and trying and now maybe supporters wont be shouting for certain players being in the first team as they are not ready as Malky says so maybe we should now let the manager run the squad :ayatollah:

I would rather the £1.6 million plus wages (round it off £2million) had been spent on someone or more than one player who can help the first team achieve promotion. Is that such a bad thing..?

You dont support cardiff city so why do you continually come on here and post negative crap and make a complete fool of yourself in the process . Attention seeking maybe ? :o

Re: Etien and Harris are both a waste of money

Sat Jan 05, 2013 5:30 pm

Etien just didn't look 1 bit interested to be fair. Was expecting him to have put up a fight for a regular place.

I will ask again, how on earth is supporting MM's judgement on team selection being Negative..? Read the f*cking thread will you because there are people who are actually agreeing with me!!!

Neither of them are proper match fit. Infact Harris as just come back from a long injury lay off.

Velikonja is 23 and signed a three year contract. If he doesn't play this season he isn't going to get in a 25 man squad if we get to the premiership. I honestly don't think he has a future at Cardiff unless he can get into the first team and prove himself this season.

Re: Etien and Harris are both a waste of money

Sat Jan 05, 2013 5:42 pm

how many times have you seen these 2 play this season ?
