I've never wished a player that's going to another club to be utter crap (apart from Bullard)
I hope Zigic has a shite World Cup and is utter crap for Brum!
Zigic will be shite #1

I'm not worrying too much, if it's only £6M then he can't be that good. Top strikers cost far more than that. Look at who we got for that sort of money: Tunny and Kits! He'll just turn out to be a white version of Mama.

I don't, I hope he does well. Not for Brums sake but at least it proves some people can pick a talent on this board.

The bloke who covers Brum for the Brum Mail says it should all be sorted by the end of play today.

He'll just turn out to be a white version of Mama. Transfer fees dont neccessarily say whether a player will be good or no, Berbatov was £30M and hes shite while Shawcross was £1M and he is top class. I havent seen enough of Zigic to say whether he is good or not but to make a judgement based purely on his transfer fee is ridiculous

That's hardly a logical comparison to make. Fuller was so cheap because he'd had a terrible time with knee injuries and when he did play in the Premier League at Pompey he was widely considered to be not good enough for them. But with Zigic we are talking about somebody that has got a good reputation and has a decent scoring record both domestically and internationally, so I therefore can't work out why price-wise he is not in a bracket above the likes of Tuncay and Kitson. If he's as good as everybody on here makes him out to be then you'd surely be looking at a lot more than £6M! That sort of amount just gets you an average run-of-the-mill Premier League striker nowadays so it wouldn't surprise me if that's exactly what he turns out to be. Only time will tell whether he does turn out to be a bargain at £6M but the price that Valencia have agreed on, bearing in mind that they just sold David Villa for £35M, makes me think that he might not be quite as good as some people think he is.

You really are a first rate plonker, can't you can't see the bit of fun in this thread. In any case of course many wanted him to sign (including me), and of course it's better for us to have dodged a bullet like Bullard and him being shite, than him score 30 goals next year.

Let's hope TP has got this one as right as he did the Bullard transfer. I remember half the board whinging about needing a player "just like Bullard" - and how TP had dithered, got it wrong and we missed out.
TP proved he got that call right - although this time it really does feel like we missed out. Only time will tell I guess.

I havent seen enough of Zigic to say whether he is good or not but to make a judgement based purely on his transfer fee is ridiculous These comparisons both support my argument! Berbatov cost so much because he was a player in his prime (27 at the time) and had consistently scored and created many Premier League goals for the last two seasons at Spurs so his reputation was at its peak. At the time he was seen as one of the top strikers in this division, hence why he cost so much. Shawcross was so cheap because he was a youngster who was unproven even at the Championship level and there was no guarantee that he would develop in the way that he has. Zigic is a player in his prime with no injury record, he has already proven exactly what level he is at so Valencia have valued him accordingly. If you look at people in the past who have moved at similar times in their careers for similar amounts of money it doesn't usually tend to get you a top player.

To be honest chaps, I've seen quite a bit of him when he has played here and on his day he is class. He would have been a fantastic player for us for certain. For Brum however he'll probably turn into another Kevin Francis.

Menorca that IS NOT what we want to hear Imagine this, Zigic heading straight towards Begovic striding 5 metres at a time, then in comes wilko and ryan to simultaneously 'challenge' him on either leg thus sidelining him for the rest of the season whilst brum go into financial meltdown paying his wages If carlsberg did therapy for disappointment, eh?

Its going be a long summer for some of you if you keep getting upset at every player that doesn't sign who you think should.
Truth is we didnt want him and never did no matter what the deal.
TP thinks he can get better and until he's done is business lets just trust him.

Shit Bin....We missed out, whether we wanted him this time round or not, no need for a sour grapes thread. And on the subject of Brum Slum... . My mate is head of security there and reckons Mcleish is no mug and gets what he wants (even when the porn kings were in charge).. Plus he went out to spain himself to talk with club and player, we send mr bean scholes, or john fudge, or lindsay parsnips to do our business... And Brum are not in trouble either, Carson Yeung's other business owes its shareholders a payout, unrelated to his ownerhip of Brum, they kicked up a fuss saying they would take his assets if he didn't pay up, to which they got a fuck off pill.. He'll bank roll the club...

I am very dissapointed we missed out but mainly due to all the Zigic bullshit we've spouted, he would have felt like a major coup and most of us have never seen him play.

I too hope he doesn't perform, but I think from an outsiders view it could look to be a bit bitter on our behalf.
Like you say, it hasn't fucking helped with all the bullshit on here over the last year or so.
