We'll see... Must admit I looked at it a couple of times.I'd have been a bit more relaxed if he'd said that it would be nice to improve on the first half (followed by what he went on to say).Your suggestion of strengthening other areas should surely suggest anticipated improvement rather than merely matching?

Well, I think it would more be a case of not being confident in players going out in the transfer window (the likes of Bailey etc.) such that there wouldn't be money to bring others in to strengthen other areas (maybe a young leftback for example, or another midfielder). The way it was quoted certainly didn't make it sound like the most positive comment though, you're right about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Surely they wouldnt risk selling a starter unless it was for stupid money, or a replacement was already identified. could scupper season upset team etc etc, cant see him going certainly not for the figure quoted O'Connor?

maydrakin Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 O'Connor? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ph34r:' /> I was thinking exactly the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Malky Mackay can choke on my cock. Cockerel is an excellent alternative to turkey, but why are you inviting Malky this Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motch Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 [size=4]A teacher at my school (in Stoke) is very close friend with Brayfords dad and he has mentioned to me about him moving to West Ham. I don't know if he is winding me up, but why would West Ham want Brayford? I would say, if he does move, it would be to somewhere like Cardiff?

DcFc Dyycheee Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Cardiff boss Malky Mackay is set to raise his bid for Derby right-back John Brayford to £1.25m. Mackay has been haggling over a fee for the highly-rated defender and is set to agree a deal and speak to Brayford. The Championship leaders have shown sustained interest but could face complications because West Ham have also been making checks. - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-ready-1504330?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could be better than Brayford in the future but at the minute, it will be a massive step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Maybe O'Connor might get a chance to play in his proper position? Need to keep Brayford really unless there is a crazy offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 how do we know though? We don't I guess. But knowing Brayford is one of the best RB's in the league, it would be a massive gamble to put our faith in someone who's an unknown quantity.

ChaddesdenRam Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 West Ham are desperate for a Right Back. Demel and Tompkins do not look comfortable and they have quite a few long term injuries atm. If you were looking for a right back then you would look at the best rb in the championship if there are no good premier league players available. Then realising he plays for Derby County managers would think we can get him on the cheap. I know that isnt good but realistically thats the situation. I think Brayford is a premier league rb. People say he has his bad games but i would argue he has hardly ever had a bad game Defensively, after all first and foremost his job is not to concede goals. The only time he doesnt look that effective is when his touch or pass let him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
