Nedum

Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

Nedum

Postby Dubciteh » Thu Aug 18, 2011 7:41 am

Didnt realise his agent was Kia Joorabchian, which begs the question who else at the club does Kia Joorabchian represent??

Anyway according to Kia Joorabchian everton blackburn and qpr have bid for neddy:

Everton, Blackburn and QPR have made bids to sign Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha, according to his representative Kia Joorabchian.

The 24-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland, is not in City manager Roberto Mancini's plans.

"I'm not surprised at this level of interest, because Nedum has proven that he's a very good player," Joorabchian told BBC Sport.

Onuoha came through City's academy and has played 94 games for the club.

The centre-back has won 21 caps for England Under-21 and played 31 games on loan for Sunderland last season.

However, he is behind Vincent Kompany, Kolo Toure, Joleon Lescott and even Dedryck Boyata in the reckoning at City.

Everton manager David Moyes is keen to add another central defender to his squad, especially with Arsenal keen on England's Phil Jagielka.

Blackburn see Onuoha as a potential replacement for their captain Christopher Samba, who has also been linked with the Gunners.

And QPR boss Neil Warnock is likely to have new funds at his disposal with investment from Malaysian entrepreneur Tony Fernandes, who is likely to become the club's majority shareholder.

As much as we all love him, it's definitely time he moved on. Everton would be a good move for him.

If Everton have bid, is that to replace the Arsenal bound Jagielka, as Kenwright was on SSN this morning saying there was no money for new players?

It's a shame to lose him but for his own sake he needs to move and try and have a decent career elsewhere

I thought Nedum was a smart lad, but his choice of Agent isnt likely to be the best at finding friends in football.

Good luck to him, but he was never going to get a sniff of a game at City again anytime soon given his Soccer AM speech.

Its possible, but that little speech was his death warrant at City. I like Nedum and felt he was above stuff like that but sadly not. Wish him well and he will be a good signing for someone as he's a decent standard Premier League defender, he just isn't at the ability level needed if you have aspirations to win the title.

Kia was getting in the ear of many of our players not too long back, and as many remember it caused a few problems behind the scenes. This is most probably why everything went Pete Tong with him and the board, leading to the reported 'Fall-outs'.

As for Ned, not really arsed to be honest, he turned into a bit of an idiot.

so did i, to be honest i doubt Savic is much better than him, he wouldnt be your 1st choice centre half if you wanted to win the league but hes certainly good enough to be a backup centre half for any team in the league,throw in the fact hes homegrown and a blue he would of been ideal, like our wes brown but his rant cost him, baconface wouldnt let his players do that and Mancini is no different....

Sad to see him go if that is what happens.
Very decent pacey and intelligent centre half.

I say it all the time but he's the worst passer of the ball i've ever seen.

That being said, on the defensive side he's solid and it'll be sad to see him leave

Sort of explains his dig at Bobby on Soccer A.M after Kia's pal Leslie had been given the boot.

Eggsackilly.

NB. Kia is not an agent, just an advisor.

This is most likely why Bob is getting rid of him. Micah has improved as a footballer to a level I wouldn't have believed possible but Ned is still the same, hence Micah stays/Ned goes. Savic is clearly on another planet as a footballer but imo he looks nowhere near it as a PL defender yet, so I would have kept Ned until Savic gets up to scratch.....until I just found out Kia is Ned's agent.

Get rid.

I don't see a reason to keep Nedum if he tries to undermine the boss, Mancini should move him on.

Savic did look shaky the other night but I think that was mostly down to nerves. The lad still put in a better performance than Boateng ever did! Plus I don't see it as a problem having Savic as back up because he has Boyata to compete with and Pablo.
