Steve Bruce is busy working overtime to bring in a new defensive enforcer to fix his malfunctioning back-four ahead of Saturdayâs derby at Sheffield Wednesday... http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spor...nce-to-plug-tigers-leaking-defence-1-4989948? Will Liam even make the bench? I fear his time at City is at an end and I think it's a crying shame.
The article refers to us as playing in 'Claret and Amber' - Really? WTF- typical **** reporting from the Yorkshire Post eh Mussie?!
They were inaccurate about our colours but overall the YP are far and away ahead of any other paper when reporting City. The HDM, should take note just how good the YP are and start learning from them fast.
Ps yes shocking journalism as always from that filthy Leeds united loving rag. Is their anything about it in our hdm? As I wouldn't believe a word unless the mail pick up on it.
Bruce wouldn't play him at Sunderland, I wouldn't expect him to make a move for him now. I gave up on my one man crusade a while back now.
Maybe he didn't quite think he was up to premier league level but he's more than capable in this league and there's not a conveyor belt of quality defenders available for loan. I think it could be quite likely.
Chester & Bruce are at least a couple of weeks with Hobbs realistically still a couple of months away
James Tavernier at Newcastle would be a good shout, although he's not exactly experienced. Higginbotham at Stoke would also have been an option if he hadn't gone to Ipswich. Grygera at Fulham isn't really getting a lot of game time, if we can get him for a month that would give us time to get Chester and Bruce back. He has 65 caps for the Czech Republic and also made a ****load of appearances for Juventus and Ajax (where he scored 8 goals in his tenure).
He isn't getting any. No appearances this season and only seven appearances last season, he hasn't played a game since November 2011.
He's a really strange idea, pretty original for this club I admit, but before we go giving other clubs youngsters game time, how about we give one of our own, who has played games in the Championship and not been disgraced by any stretch a chance to show what he's got?
It will be more than a crying shame. Bruce needs to take his head from his ass and get real. First Paul McKenna and now Liam Cooper. I for one hope the Allams say NO LOANS to Bruce. Play Cooper ffs. Bruce has to put the needs of the team first. Not who he thinks is good enough or not. imo.
I know you guys obviously need cover in that position but I'm not sure about players on loan any more ,especially in defence..... I just don't think loanee's are prepared to put their bodies on the line as much as a permanent player and in defence that , I think is crucial chaps ? Also heard on grape vine Matt Mills has become un-settled @ Bolton... could be your answer ,LOL
Anthony Gerrard. EDIT: that's not a suggestion for who we should sign, it's an example disproving the theory.
