The German defender has yet to sign a replacement for his existing deal, which runs out at the end of next season. That has rasied fears that City will have to sell the 27 year old rather than loseing their prize asset on a free transfer next summer. Although we have the rest of the summer to tie him down, I honsetly dont think we can afford to lose him. Whilst I am not a bif fan of either Woody or Upson and felt they didnt add to our squad (just caused problems), Woody is out of contract and Upson looks to be leaving having been approached in januray by Shanghai Shehua! With Higgy at the end of his career and Collins being as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike - looks like TP will be spending his money here before anywhere else! In his defence (), I dont think he has much choice!
Smither's Just seen the Sentinel where DELAP is begging Huth to stay at Stoke.. here's the really funny part. Pulis looks likely to offer Delap a COACHING position once he's finished playing??? What the hell, is he going to coach ALL the Squad how to perfect the art of a long throw in! OH **** and I did'nt think it could get any worse.
Hope he doesn't go but can't blame him if he did he's been buggered about positionally for half the season.
The real shame is, Pulis won't give Huth an " I can't turn this down offer " As usual, Pulis will pish about and do nothing until it's too late. And IF he does go we surly are well and truly shafted. AND to be fair to Huthy, I would not blame him if he left this summer. BLAME Pulis for asking a brilliant C half to play full back. SELL Jones and buy a good left b / and or right/b. What Pulis does'nt seem to understand is simple. He KNEW we needed at least on fullback but instead brought in two more C halfs?
