POWP Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) didn't novak finish off the season at birmingham playing on the left wing? Edited May 15, 2014 by POWP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulli_Owl Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 It took Lee Novak a little while to get going at Birmingham City . And he was somewhat embarrassed that his first two goals were the ‘walk in’ at Yeovil Town – following on from the furore when they wouldn’t give the ball back after injury – and the one that went in off his arm on the goal-line from Nikola Zigic’s header against Bolton Wanderers. But after Novak, with his first touch as a substitute at Derby County in October, planted a superb volley into the back of the net for an equaliser, he never looked back. Playing either wide left, in the 4-2-3-1 – his performance at former club Huddersfield Town was perhaps the most complete of any Blues player this season – up front or just behind, Novak gave everything he had for the team. And when Blues needed it, he came up with decisive and vital goals. For example, there was the brace at Blackburn Rovers, including a spectacular 30-yarder, and the pair that gave Blues a come-from-behind win at Blackpool. Such was Novak’s importance, that when he was injured the team missed his drive, consistent contributions and physicality. At Huddersfield he was the foil to Jordan Rhodes and Lee Clark often stated how much Rhodes and Novak’s team-mates valued his worth. Eventually, as a troubled season wore on at Blues, that proved to be the case as well, with supporters recognising his value and 11 goals. So potentially Novak - ?? - Maguire playing an out & out striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LEGEND Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I always rated him, really tidy finishers and works hard. I'd love him at Hillsborough. He's alot better than what we've got and i think he'd enjoy it a Hillsborough. Put it this way, Clark managed Rhodes as well as Novak and he always talks about how much he rates Novak, so he must have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ante's Bubbly Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 And people don't want Lita hahahaha Yep and still don't! I'm not bothered about any of the Novak family me sen. Although my dad reckoned (after too many pints at a stag do) that Kim looked like she could suck a tomato up a straw! Apparently this may have been some kind of game from a past generation. We never found out he just went downhill after this statement and maintains that he never said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Don't rate him one bit, he wouldn't bring any improvement to what we already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The likes of Novak are about as good as we will sign. We know how Mandaric works . A lot of people are setting themselves up for a big disappointment with some of the names being talked about on here as potential signings.

SWFC_Liam Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 What are people expecting? He had a good season with Birmingham last season, got a lot of good attributes to his game and seems like a player hungry to do well. On our budget he's the type of player we'll be signing, and he'd be a good start. Talk of Fryatt is daft, never going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well if he's only gonna be the foil for someone like Rhodes, then that's different. However, if he was brought in to play with our existing strikers, then heaven help us Spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GY-owl.4 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 lots of folk talking about his previous scoring stats, true enough, but on that basis, Burnley would never have played ings/vokes....... all this talk of goalscoring - IMO lavery gonna become 'hot property this season' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thank goodness for that. Did he reveal anything else, guru? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thank goodness for that. Did he reveal anything else, guru? In the on line Star this morning he said he may have to be patient as he try's to recruit and although he would like everyone in by July Ist, it may not be possible. Not much else really, a bit about Gooch keeping his options open. Only specific thing, was his denial of any interest in Novak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Monkey Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thankfully denied this morning by manager Stuart Gray Good managers deny all transfer speculation until signed and sealed. Dont htink you will find SG or many others openly admit beign after a player until the deal is almost complete for fear if being accused of unsettling or tapping a player up.

TheEnchanter Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Its only denied because we wouldn't be able to afford him ! Which I can't even believe no one has mentioned.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest conisbrough Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Novak is not a Gray type player, he does not fit profile we are looking for. This was agent trying to drum up interest, nothing more. Think Gray is easily read and when he says no interest means it. Has a tendency to laugh and smile and avoid answering when speculation accurate.

BRUCE LEE Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Denied or not, I see Gray as a professional bloke He's not going to let anything slip out of respect for the manager of the other club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
