Let's face it , only the latter is a Barmby player, and unless it's a bargain deal from Unitied, has he done enough to warrant another year. As elephants go to the same place to die, I fear all three are destined for Leicestan in the Summer.
Highly doubt King will be, as Im sure he's a Nicky Barmby signing! I reckon King will come back for another year at the KC, he's definitely going to be a cracking player but as of yet needs a bit of fine tuning. Brady is a bloody good player who'll go on loan to a PL club next year IMO. Stewart... if he wants to go to Leicesteristan in the summer for silly money... goodbye.
I don't believe Stewart will go unless he turns round & says he wants to. NB has said that he doesn't want to break up this team & I think that the end of season was just too much for CS, his lack of pre season didn't help & he played a lot of games since Christmas. I guess like most things though it'll be a case of wait & see.
I really cant agree with this, I havent seen him have a good game since pre-season. And he defo wont be back here next season.
I think we need to get over the Leicester obsession. NP may want certain individuals, but that's not to say he'll get them - remember it was Hull City that has the relationship with Man U, a relationship that is into it's fourth manager now, if we include Dowie. What is the link between King and Pearson? I can't see anything that would see him heading to the dark place. But also, whatever we feel about this season - we did fail to go up. Why would NP be so desperate to take so many of our players? Give the club some credit, and a chance. Think of the squad that we came up with when we genuinely had nothing, following relegation. Koren, Rosenior - Even Simpson was a hell of a signing, even if hindsight tells us differently.
I can't see why King would go to Leicester or Brady for that matter. Stewart is more understandable from his links to NP, I hope he'll stay as I feel/hope he'll come good next season, and I'd it hate it to be with a rival team. But if we're offered a decent sum for him and he doesn't want to be here, then we can't stand in his way. The biggest issue with Brady and King is negotiating another loan spell with Man United.
I don't think we will be seeing Brady back mext season, King hasn't really had a chance yet to play a full game and has shown enough to be welcome back next season. I am impressed by the way he chases balls down and battles to get possession back if he looses it. Unlike Stewart who throws his hands up in despair as if he can't believe he was tackled. His form has been disappointing this last last few weeks. Hopefully a summer break will reinvigorate him. I would imagine that if a similar bid comes in he may be on his way and I just hope we don't live to regret it. The main thing is keeping Rosy and Chester. Is it time for next season yet?
I agree! I can't see Brady as a Premier league player either, certainly not for Man Utd. We need an experienced winger next season, relying too much on inexperience.
With Samba, Morgan & Mills in front of him in queue, I think Chester's cultured play could never fit into Nigel Pearson's style of play. How long can Leicestan keep Ben Marshall, with Stewart taking his place?
What about Jason Puncheon, surely with saints going up they will be buying new players, ie wingers, Puncheon has Prem experience and would be a quality addition, only 750k would be enough to get him probaly
King a cracking player? Didn't we say the same about both Brady and Stewart? He needs to learn when to pass and when to go it alone. That break away yesterday was a case in point, should of taken on the defender and then the goalkeeper. Brady is just greedy and I think Stewart is lacking confidence not helped by everyone saying he wants to leave.
Stewart probably, Chester won't want to go to a lower club; like somebody said before, you have too many CB's already. Plus I know for a fact you aren't interested in him.
They're all good players but all have the same problems and yesterday was a great example: they just make crap decisions. They occasionally make the right decision and it comes off, but it's far outweighed by wrong decisions. King yesterday had 3 or 4 good chances to run at their full back and take him on and after it's been working so well lately, why the hell was he so reluctant to do it? Most annoyingly the time he was through one-on-one and completely stopped and passed it back to Fryatt, it was the exact position where against Boro he just twatted it home, why not go for it?! All 3 of them seem to suffer from their lack of experience in attacking situations, our big problem this season has been not turning these positions into goals anywhere near often enough.
I think we're likely to see ALL of them at City next season and not Leicester. But the comments about decision making are true, they're still learning and they can only get better next season.. and I think we'll be saying more positive things this time next year.. one of the issues thay all have is getting ahead of themselves on the ball, of course it's split second, so the jury will still be out as none of them are yet the finished article, we will learn if they can improve their decison making under pressure.. I don't know how much of this can be coached and executing an inch perfect pass in training or reserves isn't the same as when you're in the league.. but these are further reasons why other clubs are slighly unlikely to come in for them yet. Chester though has developed very quickly. He's the biggest loss after Koren should he go.. but once again I don't think he will. Dudgeon for Dawson next season. Time for him to fill Andy's boots.
and where does Andy go next? Player Coach or Centre Half or both?[/QUOTE] he probably stays at left back exactly where his best mate NB wants him. still irks me that dudgeon was decent then got sidelined for a slow shirtpuller. great servant blah blah but i hope nick sees that next season its time for daws to warm the bench at best.
