Most liked posts in thread: Dom Poleon Gone

People think rahic is nutcase, yet he has had people actually pay real money for hanson, clarke and poleon... Edin knows

 

Didn't work out for him here.
Good luck to the lad for the future.

 

Vincelot? No thanks.

I like the ruthless attitude we've shown this pre season. McMahon was (overall) a successful player during his time in a City shirt and had produced a high number of assists, he was pretty crap last year and they got rid of him. NKP had a successful first season, he wasn't good enough last season and he's now 4th choice Centre Back. Killgallon was player of the year last season and now has heavy competition for his place. Nicky Law is a good player and more than played his part during our Wembley season, he's gone and we've brought in better. Doyle- successful during his time here and we've brought in better. We paid a fee for Poleon last year and could have kept him in the hope he turns it around and justifies his fee, we recognised he wasn't good enough and he's gone. Vincelot wasn't good enough last season and he's no longer a guaranteed starter. It's an interesting comparison with some of our ambitionless fans who would have kept/played half of these based purely on sentiment and past performances. I like the fact that we recognise the dros in our squad and are looking to move forward rather than stand still. It's what the best teams do and is the only way to be successful. I wouldn't be surprised if we were looking to move Vincelot on and even Mcarten if offers came in.

 

Firstly let me say that I think it was right to let Poleon go, he clearly was not consistent despite starting well. I agree with the decision to let go all of those that have left.

However, do we have to be derogatory in our comments on players? I really don’t understand some posters who clearly have good command of English grammar, to go on and describe players in deregotory terms. It gives a really bad impression to both leaving players and new players coming in. Clearly some players have lost either pace, the ability to display their skills, were playing in the wrong position etc etc. Of course we as city fans are ambitious and want the very best players we can afford, and clearly the club are trying to bring in better players, but we will have to see if that pans out this season. Nevertheless, to completely slag off exiting players is just wrong in my view. Football is sport, and it may be old fashioned, but virtually shaking their hands on the way out costs nothing. They don’t need fans to tell them their deficiencies or the fact that they haven’t made it, they will know that.

 

Fair to say things didn't work out for Dom at City, but I think he has just shown some grace by thanking all the fans on his Twitter and saying he 'wishes he could have scored more goals for us'. He also remembered the Doc in his message. Hope he finds a 'happy place' at Crawley and I for one wish him all the best.

 

Errr. Still here guys.

 

Nope. I've got 20,000 offers of a lift I'm sifting through.

 

That was the most boring post I've ever read on here well done

 

That'll teach em to come here and start fights..
Got our own back now!
He who laughs last..etc.

 

The worst 1-1 finisher I have ever seen.

Good luck to him.

BUY CHEAP BUY TWICE - EDIN!

 

I'll say it first...how much did we pay to Crawley ??

Lad tried hard, but wasn't good enough.

 

Stuart's ! hahahaha

 

I'd just like to say that some time ago, I made 3 'not in the know' predictions and all 3 have now proved to be wrong, proving without doubt I am as much 'not in the know' as SYB is 'in the know'. Being wrong about Poleon still being a city player at the start of the season is by a country mile my greatest ever wrong prediction and one I am truly thankful hasn't ended up being true

 

I'm firmly in the keep Vince camp. But he does need to regain some sort of form. If he can he is still around the first team / bench quality and a serious goal threat from corners and set pieces

 

Fkn Jesus maybe the tide is turning

 

I think Vince will make a good Squad member so I hope he doesn’t leave

 

I’m with you on this one Park, I was beginning to think I was the only one but I hope Vincelot stays. Yeah he had a poor second half to last season but so did the rest of them, the season before he was one of our best players. I think he would be a cracking squad player if not a guaranteed starter and he’s pretty versatile too!

 

Just out of interest. How do you know Nkp is 4th choice and and that Vince isn't good enough anymore. They might both be smashing it in training at the mo. I don't want us to hang on to players not good enough for purely sentimental reasons but equally I don't want to get rid of players who can bring something to the squad because of that disastrous half season. Let's face it Wyke was pants too but if he wants to stay do you want rid of him as well

 

Bang on... Some of the personalised stuff is frankly appalling. Like him or loathe him, good bad or an indifferent player maybe... whatever floats ones boat... but hey let’s be adults not sniping Maradonas!
