skarroki Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) You're missing my point. I didn't mention Lowton or Benteke. I said that Sylla and Westwood probably made more of a contribution than Delph and Baker. It goes without saying Lowton and Benteke made a huge impact. But it seems to be proving my point that your post was loaded because you only seem to have 2 spaces for PL signings in your quota so of course it's going to look like that PL's signings didn't make an impact, because you've made it look so. (Too tired to articulate what I mean so please ask if it's unclear ) And Lambert resigned Guzan so it's a Lambert signing. He called him back from America to talk to him. It's as simple as that. i think i just didn't word my post very well :S I agree that Lowton Benteke made a huge impact, and Westwood, Sylla made an impact. it wasn't supposed to look like i've only got 2 spaces, i was adding those 2 to Benteke and Lowton, not replacing them. I've got no intention to deliberately write loaded arguements with mis-information, if it comes across that way it's probably down more to poor grammar EDIT: I know all about the Guzan story i just refuse to see him as a Lambert signing, i know it's stubborn and most people will disagree with me but it's just how i see it Edited June 22, 2013 by skarroki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's okay, I was just intrigued to see if that was genuinely your opinion, because it didn't seem that way, because you said you like Sylla and Westwood as players. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. PL can't be trusted with complete freedom (as i believe nobody should), but we should definitely trust him to an extent because his transfer record has been above average so far. As I said before, Bennett is a good player but not better than Andi or Gabby and I presume Tonev would be first choice sub behind them and I don't see him being good enough to be our number 10 behind the striker. However, if we sign him I'd be happy enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Bennett looks quite decent from what ive seen of him but i'm not sure what he would offer us that we don't have already ? I'm all for having a good squad but I think out next midfield signing needs to be more "killer" and less "filler" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1Avfc Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Rubbish player. I don't believe for one moment that you've seen enough of him to say this. I've read a number of Norwich fans' opinions and they seem to generally agree that he's a decent player. That's because Norwich are Crap! Only an average player, we need someone better. Is that the Norwich that finished above us? Does that mean we can't judge whether a player is decent or not!? Sorry, I'm confused. Is that the Norwich that Paul Lambert left for us? Norwich had a very weak squad last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Wouldn't be a bad back up to have but I'd rather let Albrighton have one more go before we go signing any wingers. Really?? Allbrighton had about 5 half decent games two and a half years ago. To be honest i dont see the point of signing this guy at all. I dont see what he would bring.

VillaChris Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Can't say I've been impressed much by him at prem level, ironically only left back I've seen him give trouble too (twice) is one Joe Bennett. If we can sign players from Norwich though, I'd rather get Pilkington as he's supposed to be available for 5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son Of Wiz Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 For what little its worth, he's one of my favourite players at City, quick and a great crosser. But I have no idea whether a transfer is on the cards or not, I would be sad to see him go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not imo, Pilks often goes missing in a game, when he's good he's very good, but when he's bad............ Benno on the other hand is more steady, again imo.

I'll admit it's nice to entertain their perspective once in a while, just as a relaxing mental exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
