Norwich want Will Vaulks for £7m - allegedly

[dml1954]

Have to disagree Paul. He is not good enough for the Wales midfield. If he was playing last night he would have picked up at least a yellow and would have offered no composure on the ball. I do not rate him at all.

I despair sometimes at some peoples attitude to players. Vaulks has been consistently good this season, man of the match on a couple of occasions and a big part of our jump up the table under MM. Saying you don't rate him because he picks up yellow cards doesn't make sense. That has nothing to do with his ability. He is a combative midfielder which is something many teams want and picks up yellows as a result but has only been sent off once in his senior career. Cristiano Ronaldo has been sent off 11 times and booked over 120 times in his career but no one would say he was over rated.

Are you really making a comparison between Vaulks and one of the greatest ever players to walk this planet?

Think you've missed the nuance in jumping to defend one of our best players this year. Maybe if I can follow your lead in using extreme examples: Roberto Carlos wouldn't immediately get into a Sam Allardcye team based on what Allardyce wants from a full-back but Roberto Carlos is obviously a fantastic player.

I think you might find that Roberto Carlos is probably a bit too old, even at 47, for a Sam Allardyce team.....

Warnock would give him 3 years with an option to extend.

Off topic but I remember being stunned by his free kick at le tournoi as a 8/9 year old, one of those goals that just stays with you.

Every other time I saw him take one, expecting magic I think he hit the stands.

Comparing Vaulks to Ronaldo!

You’re the gift that keeps giving, comedy gold!

Too right. If he doesn't stop this kind of nonsense he will be comparing Swansea's performance last weekend, favourably to Brazil next!

Oof, knockout blow

Or possibly accusing people of stalking on this board when already being a serial stalker or in a critical thread on the manager stating that City players should never get tired as they a professional sportsmen and then in the next paragraph having a go at the manager for playing Moore to the ‘point of exhaustion’. Heaven forbid

Christ, you really are thick. You obviously didn't read what I posted, just saw my user name and went for it.

Twice now and that's the season finished for Vaulks.

Just finished watching the highlights of yesterday's game. It was an astonishingly bad tackle, especially considering the circumstances. What on earth was he trying to do?

I wonder if Norwich are poised to swoop.....

Being sent off twice, in a nine year career after 370 odd appearances, isn't that bad is it ? He was trying to let the ball run across himself yesterday, as there was a break on and he put his leg in and around the ball to shield it past himself but unfortunately his foot was high and the other player got caught and was taken out. It looked bad and I can see why the ref sent him off but there you go. Doesn't make him a bad player.

Amazing. I was going to say you’re hilarious at times, but in fairness you’re hilarious almost all of the time. A true entertainer.
