Most liked posts in thread: Jermaine anderson confirmed

DH has stated today that we will have to manage Anderson wisely with his knee injury record, and it sounded like he wasn't match fit last week. Why, oh why, are we bringing in a player if that's going to be at the back of your mind all the time. It doesn't make sense

 

Here's a thought....

Doesnt make it at a PL club, drops down a bit, has a sudden impact, lots of interest, gets big headed again, injuries, staring at no contract, suddenly realises he needs to get his act sorted and promises DH he's up for it.

One thing we do know, he won't get an easy ride here, if he doesn't get stuck in he may as well pop round Joe or Alex's house at the weekend.

 

Doncaster didn’t want him and neither did Peteborough so effectively he was a free agent. I’d like to think there could be a career here for him at Valley Parade but i know very little about the lad. For the positives he can’t be any worse than Josh Wright.

 

OJOM, there - done it already!

 

Fact is in January these are the sort of players you have to go for, especially in our position.
We have to find players undervalued by other clubs that might be useful to us.
Going after 'big name' signings is very rarely the way forward (how many can you name that have actually worked out - Wyke?). We've signed a few cast offs over the years that have gone on to do well for us, hopefully this is another one.
Good luck Mr. Anderson, you've got a chance here to rebuild a career.

 

Lazy is the shout from elsewhere.
He carnt be any lazyier than Akpan and Wright surely or can he?
Time will tell.
Clean slate and fresh challenge, you never know.
Good Luck to him.

 

The two signings so far suggest that Hopkin is either happy with our first 11 and just wants cover or we don't have a pot to piss in.

 

Ok, reports not good, and more especially as he needs to work hard to get in the team. However, he gets a clean slate when he starts here. If he produces the same sort of form, well at least we haven’t wasted loads of money.

This is his last chance, he needs to take it.

 

“Is he really what City need right now”?

He’s a midfielder- check
He’s fitter than Akpan- check
He’s better than Wright- check
It will stop Hopkin playing our best defenders in midfield- check

Yep, I’d say he’s just what we need. He’s almost on a 6mth play for a deal contract. Surely that’s win-win?

 

You'll have Bielsa signing you up soon

 

Doubt it, he's on a football field.

 

The more injury prone players you have (Scannel, Mellor, Colville, Jones, Reeves, Anderson, Woods, Akpan) the more you have to be concerned. As good as players like Scannel and Colville are supposed to be they've only managed something like 20ish games between them this season. Jones and Reeves, nearly nothing for a year. Akpan and Mellor - maybe 30ish games between them!! We're like a retirement home for the injured!!

 

The thing with fans like yourself couldn't see past the end of your snout and anything that was said against Rahic at the time was wrong in your eyes BUT as proved a certain section were 100%correct as to what they said. In the beginning there was probably 15 % of the fan base disgruntled by the end I'd have hazard as guess of 80-90% finally realised that rahic used this club as a plaything and ruined some hard work that previous owners and managers had created getting fans through the turnstiles and playing decent football. I'd suggest that rupp was kept in the dark until it started to appear in the national and international press then rahic couldn't hide it rupp made enquiries told rahic to clear his desk and then had to go cap in hand to Rhodes to see how he could turn it around . That's why certain people were contacted to stop the flyover ie the fans so yes we did contribute to him going.

 

Hopkin has said that he is looking for the right players in this window that can be here for the next season. Only having a contract until the end of the season suggests that Hopkin is still to be convinced.

Good luck Jermaine, I hope we see the best of you.

 

In fairness to the lad I don't remember the large queues for Caddis, JoB or Henry when they signed. It's up to him to show he wants to fight for his career. If he's laissez faire there's enough examples around the place of what will happen next.

 

Yes I agree, give the lad a chance.
One things certain, Hopkin will give him a chance and it's up to the lad to take it.

 

With Patrick having played for Yeovil, any game time for us would preclude a loan move elsewhere. He won't feature unless the window closes and he's still here.

 

Interesting that even though McCann has not held on to him beyond January, he thought enough of him to get him in on loan in the first place. He worked with him at Posh so must have seen something he liked.

 

Since the departure of Rahic, I put my trust in Hopkin To bring this player on.

 

I always thought Jefferies did that as he saw Stuart as a threat...
