Will he be gone by the end of this window ? he must be on good wages here and maybe wants to run his contract down.
Gone by the weekend I read elsewhere
Now that is what I call touting.
Not seen anywhere near his potential for at least two seasons.
Great signing at the time but has become more and more predictable.
Giggs was just as one footed and people usually knew what he was going to do, difference was he was different class.
"I think he'll do well for the team he goes to"
Very logical.
Seems a nice guy but for me one of the most overrated players to ever pull on a City jersey.
You could count on one hand the truly great games he has had for us.
I smell another contract termination
Anyone who plays over 150 games for cardiff incl in the prem cant be totally shabby surely
Not my cup of tea winger prefered Chris Burke , any player that delivers in short bursts is a worry, especially one on a very high end wage.
For me he never really exploited a true wingers skill of getting to and crossing well from the byeline on a consistant basis , he's prone to easily losing procession and putting those behind him at risk, has one tactic of jinking inside , not enough outside pace and going past defenders and crossing to create penalty box threats .
I guess his wage has been the reason why he is still with us , I don't think it's born out of loyalty .
A good player , but don't feel we had our full value for our buck
The Brighton fans nailed it when we signed him . Poor mans Chris Marustik
Not rubbish at all. He was in and out of the team under Malky in the championship winning season and he certainly was NOT "great" in the Premier League. Had that one stand out game against Man City away half through the season and has dined out on it for the next 3 and a half years.
Like I said you could count on one hand the truly great, man of the match type performances we've had from a one trick pony.
I don't think playing him on the right-wing has helped him. Never been a fan of playing left and right wingers on opposite sides, only works if you have someone like Robben.
Oh lets move him on ,and this debate , anyone think he's better than we got ,week in and out ?
His long lay-off in 2014 seemed like a turning point to me. Until then I thought he looked like an improving player overall, but whether he lost a yard of pace, some confidence or just hunger he's rarely fulfilled that since.
Regardless of how good he is or isn't, he's almost certainly overpaid and therefore has to go.
[QUOTE=WJ99mobile;4762166]This.
Shock people calling him a one trick pony, when he's been played on his weaker side.[/QUOT
The problem of playing Craig Noone on his favoured left side is he simply doesn't have the pace of a natural winger to go past his man on the outside. He is often railroaded into cutting inside on his weak right foot. So, forget any ideas of Noone breezing past players on the left, it's never going to happen.
So, the better option is in fact to play him on the right, which means predictably, he'll cut inside (which he'll do regardless of whether he's right or left!) but at least he'll be cutting in using his stronger left foot.
