Going on the premise that if your good enough your old enough, I reckon we could do a lot worse than give Robbie McDaid an opportunity, he is certainly talented enough IMO.

Never stepped foot in league 2 mate yet alone championship. Could give him a game in the league cup against the lower league sides.

Id give him a go can't do any worse than poleon, hunt etc.

Sorry but we want promotion don't we? We need proven players with the addition of a few younger gems.

Sorry but I've got to disagree the reason being.
Hunt, kebe, etc were proven and have won this league in the past but have been garbage for us, where as RMc was NOT proven and had great season last year and made us a lot of money.

Dont know where this we want promotion stuff comes from. MC has stated it is not this year we are not ready he has a 2 yr plan not 1yr

Best he lowers the ticket prices then. £41 is shambolic

Of course we want promotion as soon as but hopefully most of us are realistic enough to realise it will take time. It is highly doubtful it will be this season but until its mathematically impossible I will live in hope. Mas does seem to be going for unproven players which I don't have a problem with so long as they fight for the shirt and show some pride. I would rather a young team that grows together than what we have seen in recent years. Viviani presumably didn't want to play for the money on offer, again I have no issue with low wages/high bonuses in fact I am in complete agreement because it means you get a player who wants to play for the club not the money and I think more clubs should take this stance. I think McDaid may well replace the unlucky Walters in the first team squad. You don't need to be proven, you just need to make a difference when you get the nod. In terms of the Hock, I have the same reservations as everyone else but at least we know the change won't take long if it needs to be made. Has a coach ever been sacked based on pre-season results :-) I am sure Mas will set a precedent if he feels the need. I think as others do that Carbone is merely waiting in the wings. I think the main aims for this season are to improve on last, get the ground back and start to mould a team for the future not a five minute wonder and if this is what we achieve I will be satisfied that massive progress has been made.

Reply to andy mot. How can u say McCormack was unproven in the Championship? he's been playing there for last 6 or 7 years and scored plenty of goals. particulary when given a regular starting berth. OK last year he went bananas but has always beena threat. MOT.

Andy - Ross scored 23 goals for Cardiff in 2008/09 which made him joint second top scorer in the Championship so a bit harsh to say he wasn't a proven goal scorer

Lads if was spending GOOD money & signing a player that was proven I'd want better stats than RMcs

Rangers 2003-06 goals 2
Donny 2006 goals 5
Motherwell 2006-08 goals 17
Cardiff 2008-10 goals 29
Leeds 2010-14 goals 53

I actually thought his stats were better than that but to say he played in some poor leagues it's not brilliant.
I do agree we need some quality signings but I'd rather wait and get the right ones than waste our money as we have done in the past.

If by good money you mean 300k ( I believe that's what we paid for Ross ) then if we can find a couple more we should sign both!
