Phillip Neville

I hope it's bucko and Brayford !

Bucko is the only on mentioned km dcfc.co.uk

Neville will end up playing a year for a newly promoted side like Cardiff , he wouldnt come here, wages being a obvious reason

[BorneoRam]

Clough said he wasn't a target and that we were going after Frank Lampard instead - should I start a thread

[WestLondonRam]

We are looking for a Expierenced centre back.

Clough said There is plenty of interest in Neville but he thinks he will still be playing at a higher level next year.

Yes in the transfer talk would be funny

[ChaddesdenRam]

So we have ruled ourselves out of getting Phil Neville

But

We are in for Frank Lampard, I don't think we can compete with wages though, Tyson and Robinson would have to go to free up space.

[EastKentRam]

Realistically, why would Neville come here over a host of other clubs that would be interested who are a) a newly promoted Prem side or b ) a side challenging at the top of the Championship

 

We are neither

 

Not that I even think he would be a great signing, even in his prime he was only an OK Premier League player, now he's about 45, for the wages/signing on fee he would demand, I'd rather look elsewhere.

The starting 11,subs an whole academy and chuck in a few thousand then we have made space

_{lampard would be a great signing but unlikely to want to move north, more likely to go to charlton or millwall.}

How people think Neville would have been a good signing is beyond me.

[networker1884]

Carragher all the way for me.

[davenportram]

How people think Neville would be a bad signing is beyond me (and on keeping my reasons for thinking this audit)

[networker1884]

David Moyes thinks he's good enough to play another season for Everton...but what does he know?

bit old int he ..?

How peole think Neville will be an average signing is beyond me.

[LeedsCityRam]

Completely agree.

 

I think he'd be a magnificent signing for us. Quite apart from the experience of playing for a Championship winning side, his position (dominant tough tackling midfielder) is something we are severely lacking at present. You have to imagine he'd be a fantastic influence on Hughes, Hendrick & the other young lads we have - passing on tips, cajoling them, telling them what it takes to be the best & play for the best...

 

He also strikes me as a lad who plays for the enjoyment, not necessarily the paypacket. I hear he's declared himself open minded to dropping down a division so maybe a well-sold "vision" could persuade him to join us.

 

Shades of the Dave Mackay capture in 1968 if we did go for it (I accept Mackay was the superior player)

I hear Accrington Stanley are in for him, what with his low wage demands and all..........
