cooper1989 0 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Saw ooor Vladi tracking back today -- and made some fine tackles? For the Bears at the match.. How did he look?Was it just the telly -- or did he do the biz defensively like I thought? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose4life 5 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 He looks the package but a few times he got the ball taken from him quite easily i thought. Still, that only happened 2/3 times, i like htis guy - shame we cant afford him properly! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoRfc 1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 he had a lot of determenation when trying too win the ball back and did win it on a number of occasions so not just a great attacking player :weiss: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc1nosurrender 55 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I didn't think he would be the type of player to track back but he was great at getting back and at intercepting the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theweebluenose 4,337 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Seems a really determined player who doesn't like to give up a ball easily, a good aul fashioned winger - definately not a twinkle toe'd primadonna like alot of Wingers these days!

How did he look?Was it just the telly -- or did he do the biz defensively like I thought?pretty sure that he also played ice hockey as a kid so that would help him with the rough side to scottish football (all being he looks lightweight)i'm sure with all his attacking instinct he will relish a good old 50-50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, that only happened 2/3 times, i like htis guy - shame we cant afford him properly!I think we might get him at the end of the season because city already have Milner who is 24 and cost £26 million, SWP who is 28 and cost £8.5 million, robinho who is 26 and cost £32.5 million, adam johnson who is 23 and cost about £9 million and Silva who is 24 and cost £25 million. They also have Tevez and Balotelli that can play wide if needed. So he will never get a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50ShadesofBlue 667 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 He played well. Caught a few times but at least he was trying to create. Tracked back well and stole a few balls. Held off 2/3 players at one point and did well but needs to look for the pass a wee bit more when he's running into trouble. I immagine his enthusiasm was getting the better. Pleased with him today though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryMc 2,398 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think he just loves having the ball and will do everything he can to get it. It's a nice thing to see from such a young player. Hopefully our youth players like Fleck will take notice of what it takes to break into the first team when your young. It's not all about what you can do with the ball, it's more to do with what you do off it. This goes for tracking back, making tackles and winning the ball as well as moving into space and making yourself available. Hopefully Weiss will be beneficial to players like Fleck who have bags of ability but don't realise you need more than that to make it at Ibrox.Maybe it will help Fleck when he is played on the left and who knows he may turn out to be quite good out there. I personally wouldn't mind giving Fleck a go on the left with Weiss on the right. Would be nice to see two young attacking players on the wings for us.

theweebluenose 4,337 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Only thing is Fleck isn't really a winger, he's best played playing just behind a striker in an attacking midfield role. I'd love to see Wylde on the Left wing and Weiss on the right though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see Wylde on the Left wing and Jelavic on the right though.Yeah Fleck isn't a winger but I really doubt he'll get a position upfront or in central midfield with the players we already have in these positions, so I think his best bet is to go for that left mid slot just now and slowly progress into a more central role.In my opinion he has all the attributes to be an effective winger, not a brilliant one but an effective one. He has pace, loads of strength, great centre of gravity, can beat a man and his technique is good. It's there for everyone to see that his crossing isn't the best but this can be worked on. Another bonus is that he is naturally left footed which is something we need in the team. I just don't think Wylde will get his chance this year but his time will come.

Did you mean Weiss on the right?When Fleck first started for the first team he really impressed in the wing position but expectation was far to high from a lot of fans and he slowly faded away, with so many options on the left side I can't see him getting many chances this season though. I hope that Walter uses the Cup games to maybe test some of the youth and with Fleck playing just behind the Miller or Jelavic as they may need to be relied on later on in the season.Yes I meant Weiss Had a few tonight so getting a wee bit mixed up, I recken Wylde on the left and Weiss on the right would be cracking though.

Can Wylde switch over and play on the right though? As Weiss seems to like to switch between right and left as the game goes on. It will be interesting to see what is on the cards for our youth players this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblue4life 20 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hopefully City continue to buy even more superstars in the coming transfer windows (Jan & next Summer) therefore perhaps allowing us to loan Weiss for a further year. Either that or Mancini gets the sack at the end of the season and the new manager doesn't want him and we get him on the cheap with the CL cash although it's more hope & optimism than reality tbh.If we managed to get a similar player for the left flank we'd do damage in both the SPL and in Europe with Walter expected to play a 4-5-1 formation in the CL.

MasterD 7,448 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 he done superb at times getting back and winning the ball/making a good tackle and not giving a free-kick away like the usual wingers do, however he was wasted on the left imo, we wanted a winger to run to the line and get crosses in, or running down the line and cutting in front with a good chance of getting a foul, but playing him on the left means running down the line then cutting back onto his right foot which was to obvious imo, really hope he gets games on the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they still have to make a decision on Weiss future.Eighteen months ago we were fighting a relegation battle. To become contenders in Europe and domestically we had to improve the squad. We are in a position now where we can compete. Whether it is jealousy or surprise, everybody has an opinion about our club at the moment."We're just trying to get on with building something sustainable. We feel the players we bought this summer will be the future for the next four or five years for City. Our squad probably averages out at 24-25. We've got a bright future"We are also investing quite heavily in our Academy. We know that you can't just keep going on spending in the realms that we have spent over the last 12-18 months.''
