Indeed. So just to confirm, that definitely counts as playing for Barcelona... right?
imo we should have sold noone for 1.2mill when offered..... buckley and KLL better IMO.
agreed - better than harley....
Tbh that is not a particularly high level to measure by.

This is the most sensible thing I've read on NSC all day. We are fundamentally a business and need to make profit. Therefore making money on Noone as we have a club who are interested in giving us over a million pound profit on him and then acquiring Assulin on a free, developing him into a more consistent player who we can sell on for profit makes great business sense.
To me I see no difference in Noone and Assulin as players at the moment, both can beat a man, have a burst of pace and lack a final ball. Although Assulin has the potential to raise his game greatly as technique wise he was one of the best players at the club last year.

Yep. Why be stuck with the wages of one shit squad player on 8k when you can have two.
It's amazing the kind of thing it seems normal to write when you've been reading NSC for an hour...
Are you suggesting Assulin is shit? Genuine question I've probably missed something
Ok now you're starting to sound dim. We saw very little of Assulin, but he showed flashes of potential beyond our other wingers. to suggest a player we probably can't even afford is "shit" is embarrassing.

Yes it's sensible,but you don't need prem players to get promoted as many clubs have proved recently,if anything having ex prem players is a disadvantage as most tend to look for a last pay day like the leicester's of this world.

But we are not talking about some 30 something ex-premiership "raspberry ripple" who is looking for one last pay day. We are talking about a player that is surplus to requirements from a Man City squad over flowing with talent, Adam Johnson and James Milner struggle to make the bench, Assulin is a 21 year old who still has yet to forge his career and may see us as a chance to get to the premiership or use us to get regular games and then get a move to a premiership club if we are still a championship side.

Assulin looked okay, but he is certainly no better than KLL or Noone, so on balance, the money is probably better spent elsewhere.

When did he ever show more than the two players we already have in his position? Go on, im genuinely intrigued as to when this event occured. I saw every minute Assulin played for us and I am struggling to think of one minutae of football play that suggested he would be worth adding to the wage bill on top of the TWO capable left wingers we already have on our books.

Definately the rich man's Zaha. Hope we've got the finance to sign him, just the sort of player we need.
Very dubious at first. But as an understudy for Vicente, I think he would be my preferred signing of the loanees.

Gus: Loan deal was a no brainer From The Argus)
I think he will get an opportunity in Holland though. Or he could sign for our rivals Middlesbrough.

Flog Noone for 1.5 mill to Cardiff and replace with Assulin = great business
I'm guessing you didn't generally get the sense the rest of us did from his first touch, turn of pace, technical ability etc? You can just tell when a players "got it" or hasn't, sometimes. He was the best player against West Ham, constantly causing them problems. There was another home game (genuinely can't remember which) where they literally could not get the ball off him. There's a lot of development needed, but for me he has a natural ability and talent closer to Vicente than LuaLua or Buckley, and certainly Noone.
