New contract for Bramble

[aimaad22 4103]

I love that argument, it's straight out of the "I bet you couldn't write a better song than the rubbish guitar band I worship!" drawer.

 

If a player can't hack a bit of abuse on an Internet messageboard then how'd you imagine they cope with playing in front of tens of thousands of abusive fans every other week, genius?

 

Ha, Im not the only one having a go at the fans.

Away games

 

Criticizing toon fans on away games is ok?

No, but he'd be likely to be abused by tens of thousands of abusive home fans, when the Toon played away every other week. Nice try though

What an incredible statement of the club's ambition.

There are a fair few players of similar ability in our current first team in midfield, defence and up front.

 

The fact that Bramble isnt up to it tells you a lot about the club at present.

 

Many people have given up on ambition judging by the way they laud distinctly average players. One of them is the manager, sadly.

He's proved himself to not be good enough to be given a new contract though, that's all I'm arsed about.

 

I`m sorry but he is better than Babayaro and Carr. Ramage is too slow. Moore is gone in 6 months. Solano is wasted in RB and needs to be on the wing, Milner proved this against Spurs. Taylor, Huntington and Edgar all look good but need a year or so coming in and out of the team gaining experience. The young players need to learn consistancy first before we can rely on them, Huntington proved this against Brum, Milner against spurs and Zoggy this whole season. If we had alot of money and it was the summer then yes look around for better but as it is he a NUFC player and people need to lay off the abuse.

I'd be getting rid of Ramage, Moore, Babayaro and Carr too ideally. And it's not like playing alongside Bramble is going to help the development of the younger players. The opposite will probably be the case.

 

Ideally doesn`t work unless your Chelsea tbh and even they have trouble getting exactly what they want.

 

Thats my point though, we need him. The state in which Souness left the club. Why are people being out of order to a player that knows his mistakes and his faults but wants to play for the club and IS playing for the club. Some of the abuse is OTT IMO.

 

Lets say we don`t manage to get any defenders in this window. Lets say he sees this forum and reads some of this over-reactive shite towards him getting a contract that would probably be half the amount most of the first teamers are on. How is that going to encourage a player and help us.

 

As for the development of the younger players he would help, he`s from the Ipswich academey. Its not like he will be taking them for confidence and concentration classes is it.

Very well ran as it happens. FA Youth Cup winners 2005.

Yet totally irrelevent to Bramble's ability to help develop young players playing alongside him.

Incorrect. However, the comment made is almost certainly accurate.

I used to work with a lass who taught Titus. Apparently he is average ability although he did go to Holywells which is renowned for pupils taking a shit in the classroom if they dont like what is being taught.

Taught with a fella who taught Kieron Dyer at Westbourne too and he still pops along to help out (its a Sports College now). Know a few kids at the academy in Ipswich incidentally and KD was in there every day working on his recovery over the summer according to the kid who was in my form who is an Ipswich Youth Team Player.

Thats as far as my ITK goes though

Indeed, but credit must go to a well ran academy when it is due

Aye, we could no doubt learn a thing or two from them.

Did he burn any 50 quid notes or write insults as autographs. Otherwise it wasn't Kieron Dyer. QED

One of the few times the Bosman ruling would actually work for the club currently holding the players registration tbh

Roeder desereves to be peddled if he gives this numpty anymore than 10k a week and a years contract.

Yes and not once have I let that blind judgement. Read through the posts and you will see that I agree with needing better defenders. He never denies his faults either.

I`m pissed off with the attitude towards someone who has helped this club in bigger ways than the odd goal let in. I have previously mentioned in this thread. The Chelsea one that got us into 7th for the intertoto cup and the one that got us from intertoto to UEFA. Also the really good run of form during Souness time. Playing through injury when able and generally respected the club.

 

Do any of you slagging Roeder off think that we can afford to let him go money wise? Not for shit let me tell you. I would understand if we had 4 top 5 defenders in our ranks but wake up we havn`t.

 

IMO if Roeder let Titus go before Carr, Babayoro, Moore or Ramage he would need locking up in a mental institute.

Have any of you thought that even if NUFC want rid that they stand to get alot more for him with a longer contract.

 

If Bramble went before Luque and other poor players in our team then our board would be stupid. As someone said earlier in this thread there are far worse players on bigger wages than Bramble in areas with more cover too.

 

Try thinking before you type.

If he signs a new contract now, it's not until the end of thie season, it's for the next several years. That would be several years of sheer inconsistency (playing like a joke in between each fine spell), just like the last four and a half years. Anyone who thinks a recent good run of form means he deserves a new contract is kidding themselves. He hasn't even been that good anyway - had been fortunate a few times having made silly mistakes recently.

More proof if any was needed that Roeder is a muppet.

He's only signing because we can't afford to buy a replacement IMO.

I wouldn't play him again. His inconsistent play and concentration lapses could potentially harm the development of any of our young centrehalves who were unlucky enough to be paired with him.

 

I'd pick Taylor, Ramage, Hunty and Edgar ahead of him. Seriously.

 

Why should we think that he won't have concentration lapses in the future? He's 25 now, he should be at the height of his powers, not just finding his feet. I've given him plenty of chances in the past and willed him to have a good game from whistle to whistle but it's simply not going to happen.

 

The fact that Soccer AM refer to a shambles as 'a Titus Brambles' says it all. Rightly or wrongly, he's a joke and brings ridicule on this club and re-enforces the Newcastle-can't-defend line.

 

Sorry.

I stopped reading at the point.

Bramble isnt the long term answer. Nor is he anywhere near as bad as people like to make out. He has made more than his fair share of mistakes but he is also a far better player than people give him credit for. Rebellious is quite right in what he says.

The lad is scapegoated with some justification but this is way over the top. There are a dozen players in our squad I would get shot of before/with him depending on our ambition. We have some very good players and some who can play very well sporadically. If Titus has the right player next to him he can be very good as we saw with the Woodgate/Bramble partnership and more recently Taylor/Bramble. He needs a mouth next to him. Decent back up player who shouldnt be a first choice. Much like a good few others in the squad/first team.

Another instance where a smiley's worth a thousand words. Sums it all up so succinctly for me. Shows distinct lack of ambition, but also reflects the reality of where the club is at the moment.
