Phil Buckingham tweets: NB also confirmed Robbie Brady will stay with #hcafc until the end of the season after a loan extension was agreed with Man Utd. Good news for the club, keeps a bit of quality in depth as well as another winger we're supposedly getting. Also from Buckingham -Bucketloads from Nick Barmby's presser this lunchtime. He expects his role as #hcafc boss to be resolved over the weekend. And also - Doubt it will be the only bit of business with MU either. NB admitted his liking for rookie Josh King. Nothing definite yet but very hopeful.
You just beat me to it... I know Brady's had his knockers recently, but he's a young kid and because he played so well when he arrived and looked a real prospect its easy to knock him now whilst he's going through a bad spell of form. Im fairly confident he'll come good again, hes got pace and tricks and a good delivery from set pieces and crosses, all of these are effective tools in the championship. I think we just need to be patient with him and hope he gets coached on his decision making.
I am new to posting. I have read this site for yonks and it is now time for input!!! I did make a few postings on 606. Treat me gently. Hopefully Brady will now get his finger out. He showed lots of promise in the early months but sadly seemed to get too big for his boots. Well done Nick for the free-flowing football we are experiencing. I much prefer your interviews to the sour-puss Nigel. 2 OR 3 additions should sort it for a good crack at the top 6. My name is Steve and I frequent the South Stand.
Keeps a extra wide player in out squad and won't upset any of the other Man U boys. However, I don't think he's a starter for me. He needs to want to play and impress again, and not try to shoot from half way all the time. Only Tim Howard does that and scores...
Another one to the ranks! Welcome Steve As for Brady, great news. He's got great talent and despite a prolonged dip in form he will prove a great squad player at the very least.
Thanks St. Louis Tiger I hated frazier when he left for Sunderland, but I would gladly have him with Brady & Stewart. A formula 1 attack!!
why would it mean that? I mean's we have extended the loan of a player thats been here from the beginning of the season.
Sorry, but Brady has offered the side absolutely nothing apart from his very early form. He's greedy on the ball, he hasn't got the intelligence to play the more simple ball when required and he wants to shoot from anywhere he possibly can. It's all good and well saying he can be coached and he will get better but, in the middle of what is supposed to be a promotion chase, can we afford to carry someone who needs mothering until the end of the season?
If we have Stewart on one side and another winger set to sign then I don't see a problem with carrying Brady's lack of contribution if it's with a view to a permanent transfer. I'm more bothered with Brady that we haven't sought to use his technical ability when crossing to deliver the kind of balls that will benefit the team. It's like when Koren was out wide instead of in his more recent central position, he's a player with a lot to offer but we don't seem to be giving him the instructions. Admittedly he should realise it himself, but you can't say that it's his greed when he puts in as many crosses as he does, it's just not the crosses we can do anything with.
He's had more than a few games already. Hopefully the fact that he is staying here rather than being recalled back to Man Utd for a top-flight loan tells him something and gives him a bit of a wake-up call.
The problem is though, shouldn't that have already have been drummed into him from an early age and definitely from the coaching staff at the MU acadamy? It's not like we're talking about teaching him to run backwards, it's simple things that someone in his position should do naturally. There are lots of kids coming through acadamies all over the world and you always get the ones who 'could be world beaters' if they 'just learned to do this or that' I think the difference is, those that go on to be world beaters already know how to do 'this or that'
