wiggyrichard Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Can play as a midfielder as well.. Bit like Warnock then Oh what a joy it was to see him in midfield last season OT but Warnock actually did ok in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Has signed. Expect announcement around lunchtime. Lets hope he can do it here, does this now rule out Nathaniel Clyne? Apparently it does - Clyne's not coming just been told - messing us about so went elsewhere. Verbal agreement as well with player - just goes to show it's all about agents and £££s! So Clyne had agrred to come but his agent just wanted too much cash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Could be very good business for £3m.. although there is always that doubt in my mind that he could be another Delph. Anyway alot of people seem to be putting trust into Lambert so i'll do the same aswell as he seems to know what he wants. Welcome Matthew. 1) Delph is still only 22, he's hardly finished at the club. 2) He'd be half the price anyway. 3) I think it's unlikely he'll cost 3mil.

AVFCforever1991 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'm kind of hoping he is more like Kyle Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 His agent was possibly playing us off against West Ham, so we told him where to get off rather than over-paying. He possibly feels as he's on a bosman he should be entitled to £££££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Can play as a midfielder as well.. Bit like Warnock then Oh what a joy it was to see him in midfield last season OT but Warnock actually did ok in midfield. Agreed. Actually, last season I think he played better in the midfield than in the defence. But back OT. Welcome Matt, to the finest among fine clubs.

Apparently it does - Clyne's not coming just been told - messing us about so went elsewhere. I'd say we've all just been told. It's pretty obvious that we're not going to sign Clyne now we've just signed another right back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieB Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 So Clyne had agrred to come but his agent just wanted too much cash? No he'd agreed to come but his agent thought he could get a better deal & was persuading him to look elsewhere. at least that's my understanding of what's happened. Just basically messing us about after it had all been agreed As I said the other day - if this fell through blame the people around Clyne. Perhaps MM or others will have more details in time. Really though if he'd been any kind of success at Villa - if that's what his agent is all about - then surely he'd have been touting him round for "a bigger move" as soon as possible. Would we or Lambert realistically want that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 In fact has 10 goals from 53 games in the last two seasons and he plays at RB. No matter what league you play in that is a very good return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also read from a Wednesday fan that this is a great signing for us as is their best player. If a Blades fan is delighted at losing their best player, well then sucks to be them.

I guess there's always going to be comments like that from fans, but I'd say Lambert probably knows more than them on whether he is good enough to step up.

Demitri_C Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 cant say i know anything about him but i trust lambo completely so i will give him an opportunty to show us what he has got. cannot be worse than that oaf hutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed he is wrong about him, but I do feel unusually wary about this transfer. At 23 now, I'm surprised no one else had been trying to sign him. Saw a couple of mid table championship sides were interested, but thats about it. Hopefully turns out to be like the other two full backs United have had recently, Walker and Naughton. We've had our fair share of rubbish/average full backs in recent years, hope Lowton is a surprise and makes the step up convincingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durrr Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 To be honest its the first negative comment I've came across. Everything else has been really positive so I'm all for giving the lad a fair crack at the whip. He sounds very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Isn't it always the way that to hide their disappointment they start spouting reasons as to why it's a good thing they are going.. We could be buying Messi and some Barcelona fans would start saying "he's overrated, there are better options" it's a very common coping mechanism.
