TheStig Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Well our season is in the pits and I see newspaper articles that suggest that Joyce's job is under scrutiny. BUT... maybe there is a solution. A big hungry goal football devouring goalkicker is sitting on the sidelines at Sanfrecce. He is exactly the sort of focal point that our team could focus on and MacLaren could work effectively with. He's getting no game time at Sanfrecce so why not take a punt on him? Of course I'm talking about Berisha. The only issue is whether we could recruit him given that the transfer window is closed. Could he be signed as an injury replacement and if so which current City player would we prefer to get injured to make way for him? Alternatively could Sanfrecce loan him to us for the remainder of the season? Having Besart at the club, if only for 8 or so games would certainly generate a lot of interest. cheers Peter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besart is not a solution to the Joyce problem. Joyce going is the solution. Now we have Jmac and Bruno, we just need a leader on the sidelines who can set up to get the ball to their feet. They can do the rest. Of course none of this will happen, though I am content letting Besart sit on the sidelines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Look at it this way. At the moment with the squad we have we have 0% chance of making the ACL Maybe with Berisha we might only have a 50% chance of making ACL qualification. I know which odds I would prefer. Now that Besart isn't getting any game time he may be amenable to a short term loan deal. It would also be handy to have an experienced forward who has tasted success.

If we signed Messi and Ronaldo we would still have 0% making ACL qualification. Like the sentiment but a decent troll post requires a touch of reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have Jmac but last time I looked Bruno was sitting up in the stands and I don;t know that a change of manager would change that state of affairs.

Marcel Mewiess as a defender, our version of Redders as GK, actually, there's a long, sad, sorry list. Even so, signing Berisha would be the last straw for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still leaves me bewildered how they seriously don't get their own supporter base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Eh...I wouldn’t have minded it. It would’ve spiced up the derby and given the rivalry a new feel. There have been a few defections but this one would’ve been very interesting. Now that we have Maclaren though, Berisha is the last player we need. I think he’s past it anyway.

HeartFc Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Why are we discussing a replacement dishwasher??? We just bought a Miele and we have a spare Bosch sitting in the garage. Don't you think we should replace the toilet, it doesn't flush and we're ankle deep in shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont happen - just should happen over us bringing in Berisha, which should definitely not happen. I know bruno is gone even when Joyce pisses off. A lasting legacy of the damage Joyce costs us every time Bruno puts the ball in the back of the net. Knowing our luck it will be Kilkenny delivering the goods only rubbing further salt into our deep wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
