Slade backs out of signing Chelsea's Feruz tomorrow for another target

[NigelBlues]

Reading between the lines here, City had all bar completed a loan deal but Slade has opted for someone else.

Hopefully it's a good sign, I can't imagine a 19 yr old could do more than make a limited impact.

Too much pace.

[THE DON]

Think we are after that lad from Chesterfield? Can't remember his name but he's had a few goals and everyone is looking at him.

[Former Labour leader]

On the face of it a sensible move. Lets hope Slade has someone with more experience on his radar and it isn't a money issue

I simply do not agree that a striker is a priority.

We dont get the ball behind defences because we dont hold onto the ball long enough to play football and work ourselves into dangerous positions.

Le Fondre is a poacher but we cant get the ball into the box, especially into the 6 yard box. We dont get full backs or wingers to the touchline so we are NEVER turning defences.

Until we have midfielders with pace and the legs to move around the pitch we have no chance. Its refreshing seeing Ralls and Adeyemi showing energy but we neec ALL our players to have enough pace to keep up with a game played at a faster pace.

we are too easy to play against and players have been strolling through our midfield since day 1.

i hope Slade does not think a lack of goals is our problem, its not, its just the result of the biggest issue of all.

I simply do not agree that a striker is a priority.While I agree with a lot that you say, our strikers are f**king sh*t

[surge]

I simply do not agree that a striker is a priority.I didn't get past the first sentence. KJ can't last more than 75 minutes, ALF hasn't been able to score all season, Macheda is the worst of the lot and Maynard (as you keep saying) isn't the same player since injury.

[darran1927]

Our midfield is the problem it's to lightweight we are getting completely outplayed in the middle and thus strikers are not getting the service

[ROBERTO MARONI]

Danny graham is coming. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/getmycoat.gif

[jeepster]

Our midfield is the problem it's to lightweight we are getting completely outplayed in the middle and thus strikers are not getting the service This and it is the same reason our defence is under so much pressure.

On the face of it a sensible move. Lets hope Slade has someone with more experience on his radar and it isn't a money issueI do agree we have had a few young pup Premiership wannabes that have failed.

This and it is the same reason our defence is under so much pressure.And yet we had a different midfield against Colchester which gave us bite and had us winning the possession stats for the first time but still two of our strikers couldn't score (or even threaten) and KJ only from a set piece.

or Ched ?Surely he would have a better "touch" than than any one else we have up front?

[NECS]

Probably the kid has a different agent to Slade.
