NIVillan 554 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I do not rate Weimann. He is meant to be the best finisher in the club, if true we are doomed. I always remember when Dean Saunders wasnt scoring but fans claimed he worked hard a guy said he would run around trying hard till his balls were blue and cost a fraction that Saunders cost but what we needed was goals. I think this applies to Weimann as well. As for Gabby he hasnt moved on or developed his game since ONeil left. It is like he is pining for the old days and ways. Link to post Share on other sites

Weimann may well be the best finisher at the club but its hard to tell either way when he is played out wide. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jimzk5 4,405 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Weimann is a decent finisher but lacks composure at times, remember that chance against spurs when we were 1-0 up, ball comes to him, 10 yards out, large section of the goal to aim at and he time to take a touch, instead he hit it first time and it went high and wide, turned from a 2-0 win to a 1-2 defeat.

omariqy 6,606 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sinclair deal dead apparently. According to Dave Armitage. Link to post Share on other sites
CrackpotForeigner 2,603 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Sinclair deal dead apparently. According to Dave Armitage. Disaster. I was really looking forward to playing those old ZX Spectrum games. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Condimentalist 1,783 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Dodged a bullet if true IMO, although it wouldn't surprise me if it was resurrected late in the window. I'd take Sinclair on loan so he can prove himself, but a full transfer is a massive gamble - perhaps not at £2.5m but certainly at £4m given the embarrassing size of the kitty that Lerner has sanctioned. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mat Kendrick's Dentist 1,358 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Tell you who's better than Cleverly. **** Steve Davis. I'd take Jimmy White over Cleverley, never mind Steve Davis! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The fee is irrelevant, at least at that kind of level. It's the wages that would trouble me. I wouldn't want him on £50k a week for 5 years at this point. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
P3te 2,243 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Aye, the biggest problem with a first deal of 50k is that if he performs well for a year, where the hell do you go from there? we cant pay any more than that Link to post Share on other sites
Derryvillan 389 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Can we make a cheeky offer of one of our players? Or does that only apply to bids? Cheeky swap deal for Isco? Link to post Share on other sites
bobzy 7,578 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 You know we've been linked with Sinclair a lot this window? I think we've got the wrong idea. There's a headline on the BBC Sport site - "Veteran Sinclair back playing at 43"... Link to post Share on other sites

Nabby 1,008 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Not fussed about Sinclair only played well at Swansea 2 or so years ago now.I would suspect he wanted a decent wage too and right of the club to not get themselves stuck with high paid player who doesnt warrent it. Also City with FPP need to get cash in now seems wanted a decent fee for a player who has quite literally for one reason ot another done nothing since he moved there. Be interesting to see what out other options are. Link to post Share on other sites
villaglint 1,838 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah £3m seemed crazy money for Sinclair bearing in mind the risk and wages. Be nice to think we had other options but who knows, more than likely Gil was the other option Link to post Share on other sites
