Judging by the comments of the Rangers fans and the Youtube video, this Bartley bloke looks like a waste of time to me. Slow and ponderous..a panic buy to replace Monk/Tate who are prob getting on a bit now.
Sinclair is mad if he wants to play football this season. at city i cant see him even on the bench they have too many big players on big money not to play them, With us i think we would see the real Sinclair with the way ML wants to play the game. He may get a bit more money even as a player playing reserve or 3rd team footballer but not a substantial amount more, Its not even if he really needs the money he is quite a wealthy man anyway....If he really wants to play football and prove himself (because he has the talent) then he should stay with us or he will end up a forgotten man at city....
If he has aspirations for an international call up then it's a bad move. Just look at Adam Johnson as the prime example. AJ has realised the problem and wants to move but if Scotty doesn't want to learn off those in the same situation then more fool him
One of those Rangers fans pointed out he was fine at Centre-half when he arrived but terrible when asked to play right-back and centre-midfield. With us he'd only ever play CB. RB is covered by Obeng and Chico if Rangel goes down and CM is choc full of options.
Caulker was rubbish out of position too but he did very well at CB, leading to an England call up. Bartley was injured for much of his time at Rangers wasn't he?
Investing in youth. Something our side has always done. Looks a tidy player at CB which is where he would play. Happy with this.
Is seems he was playing right back at Rangers and not CB. It must be a reason Wenger would have liked him to stay. I know he was fifth choice at Arsenal, but still...
BBC reckon we signed him from Swansea It's on the left of the article where it lists our summer signings http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/19302481
Fiery Jack - great single (ive got all the early Fall stuff), great band, wish i d thought of that name - hope your comments are way off though!
Well unfortunately talking to a couple of mates from way up north Fiery is on the mark ,My mates reckon he's basically cack..
lets hope his talents werent nutured / used right and Laudrup can see something else but if true it begs the question - what the hell were Arsenal doing bringing him through?
Is it right that we beat Arsenal last season and are now buying players that couldn't even make said beat side ?
yes and we also beat Man City and im guessing their Reserves have more individual quality than our 1st team
very happy with this young lad. give him a couple of seasons with us and he will be a house hold name, If Arsen rates him then that's good enough for me and not some rangers fan who was happy to see him play for them but now he don't want to play 3rd division Scottish football he is now crap.. This young lad is talented and we are lucky he chose us and not other clubs who was after him...
