Didn't AP say there was some business to be done by the end of this week? Think that was on the Radio Humbrside before the match.
I think he said he expected a Goalie to come in on loan and also for NB to sort his contract out this week.
agreed. maybe also offer them Adebola as NB said after the game monday that City will not play the long ball game whilst he is in charge. So that to me spells the end of Dele @ City.
barmby out then. I love long ball, so much better to watch.
There's a difference between playing a long ball game and using long balls effectively now and then. Teams that have a big striker to aim at can still play good football but can also mix it up a bit when teams like the last 2 we have played take their boring defensive stance. It just gives you another option and makes us less easy to stifle. NB clearly doesn't rate Dele, but he's shown under NP he can offer us something different when he does play.
