If you had been at Leyton you wouldn't want to buy either of them on that display whether they were put together as a deal or not.
I see I'm not the only one who voted to keep him - but I seem to be the only one (so far), who is prepared to say so in a post. Come on - where are all those who have been saying they see the potential that might be realised with a better run of games. As I said on the other thread yesterday, even I might run out of patience eventually, I just haven't yet and I don't think a league cup game against Leyton Orient is the match to make a final decision, especially given Bruce's comments only three weeks ago.
Send him out on loan, pay his full wages (we are anyway, and its an incentive for someone to take him.) Hopefully someone will take a punt and give him a solid run of matches.
He still has a big profile in Germany as they have been interviewing him over there about the new season here, they could probably off-load him over there via his agent, who knows we might get lucky and get our money back too
Get him out on loan til January, if he does well bring him back, if not repeat or sell. One thing is certain that he needs games to get into the swing of things over here and toughen up to the physicality, we can't afford to give him that game time in the premiership, but I do think he can come good, he has skill, but he just gets bullied far too easily and as he's not fast enough to avoid those tough challenges he can't afford to.
Keep big Nick P. and work with him not against him. Get rid of Fryatt now. The more i think of him on tuesday night the more i want him gone. I would rather keep McLean than Fryatt as you at least get effort and pride. Fryatt has none and like Stewart his body language is giving him away. I wonder if Billy Davies will will do a swap. Darius Henderson for Fryatt ? Get Billy Sharp in also. No worse than Gary Hooper and has a proven goal scoring record in better leagues than Hooper of late. Cheaper also.
Sadly there are some on here who would actually do that. Nick has ther talent but just needs to toughen up. Get big Billy Whitehurst in to work on that part of his game. Simples. Your not alone. After tuesday i want Fryatt out now along with Stewart. Maybe we can offer Forest a bogof deal ? To be fair to big Nick P. on tuesday he was told he was starting from the bench as Danny Graham and lazy Fryup were going to start until that is PDiC stepped in and blocked Graham playing. Big Nick must wonder what the feck is going on at times. Fryup had no excuse. Oh dear.
That is big Nicks problem. He is far too soft. The Orient centre back was all over him. Maybe Faye can work opn that in training. Handle Faye and you can handle anyone. Lol.
Aye, I have said that I could see some technical merit in him and I have said he needs games to prove himself, but when the manager (I respect his view from closer involvement than mine) says he is simply not handling the physicality of the game then Nick is done - every defender in the league will be baying for his blood. Loan him or ship him out.
Hate to be a pain in the ar*e but I think the poll should have an option - "Any of the above that minimizes our financial loss". The way Bruce was talking the other day, it seems he has admitted an error in judgement on his part. One would assume the Allams have bought into that otherwise Bruce would not have divulged his thoughts in public. In other words, he's not wanted (zero faith in Prozzy making a difference to City) and the objective is now to minimize the financial loss. Those candid public admissions by Bruce are rather puzzling. Is a deal already well down the line, or is he saying we've got a fire sale going on, give us your best offer ? Any potential buyer or loanee club will be keenly aware of these factors, and Prozzy's performance over the last year.. City will most likely have written off most if not all of the original transfer fee we paid for him. City will want to get the maximum they can of his salary off their books. It's unlikely he will command a loan fee, never mind a transfer fee. If Prozzy wants to play regular football somewhere (and it aint gonna be with City), he & his agent are going to have to compromise on his salary with any new club....unless there are some idiot clubs out there. His agent may be that good afterall. Much depends on how many weeks/months remain on his contract, and what his salary is, and most importantly, how good his agent is. It's a shame as I thought he had potential...but a year has passed and he doesn't seem to be anywhere close to reaching it for us. If Bruce has lost faith, time to cut losses.
After last nights 4 goals for the reserves big Nick Proschwitz should get a place on the bench @ Newcastle imo. He showed more than Sagbo and as for Matty Fryatt ? get rid now. Even the person who typed the game team sheet appears to have lost interest in Fryatt or as it read ""Maty Fryat""
No.6 James Armstrong (c). Spelt correctly btw. 1.Joe Cracknell, 2.Sam Topliss, 3.Max Clarke(team sheet spelling), 4.Alex Bruce, 5.Abdoulaye Faye, 7.David Meyler, 8.Conor Henderson, 9.Nick Proschwitz, 10.Maty Fryat(team sheet spelling), 11.Yannick Sagbo subs:- 12.Rory Watson(gk), 13.Will Aimson, 14.Doug Wilson, 15.Matthew Dixon, 16.Matthew Fletcher, 17.Paul McElroy, 18.Danny Chambers. ref:- Mr N Guest Linesman:- Mr L.Blades and Mr M. Knowles Res.Ref.Mr P.Poucher Hull kicked towards the car park and 4g pitch first half and the allotments in the 2nd half which is where all 4 goals went in. Maybe you typed your own team sheet Chazz and had Ronaldo and Messi in our line up. ?
I'd just go with whatever Brucey decides on this one really. I voted an English loan because it'd maybe toughen him up but it would probably just end up with him sitting on their bench in reality. If we decided to sell him I wouldn't complain or even if we gave him a chance to prove himself I wouldn't mind but at the moment I can't see it happening.
Was you just trying to make a joke about Fryatt then tickles because it doesnt say that on his name and you know it.
