Hope this guy does well for us. Sounds a good player.

Any mention of the fee we've paid?

You can expect to have paid between 150-400k for him. We tend to get ripped off being in Australia - if it's anything less than 300k he's worth more imo.

Hope he carves for you. Top top bloke.
 

the only thing that doesnt seem right is that if this is true then why has there been no mention of it on the OS?

From reports I've heard he hasn;t signed, but is going to
 
i know he will be on about 10 grand a week.

its a done deal now according to all the austraillian tv channels,newspapers etc
 
Sky Sports News have just shown him arrive at Manchester airport and the way he was talking he's presuming he will be signing.
 
Left winger nice one


Hope to see him playing for us regularly having a good spell with us
 
He's played right wing for Sydney FC for the past 2 seasons, we dont need a left winger but Keef needs to be replaced. Hopefully he will play there.

I doubt he is on 10k a week, his wage at Sydney was about the same about our lowest paid squad players.
 
sounds like a really good player. Right or left wing, like sharpy said I do think gillespie needs to be replaced.
 
Mirror says £400,000

Sheffield United have beaten Fulham and Aston Villa to the signing of Australian international David Carney.

Carney, 23, who arrives on a £400,000 deal from Sydney FC, snubbed the Premiership because he wants to work with Bryan Robson.
 
Sydney FC Fan:

I haven't seen the official word yet, but from Sydney its a done deal.

I wish Carney all the best with you guys. I'd be surprised if he'll be automatic selection for the team at first , but I do think he'll add value when he does play. Whether he can make the step up is something plenty of us will be watching for each week from Sydney.

Good luck, and fingers crossed, lets hope he bags a few for you
 

Beeb says Carney only joined for £50k.

Could be a good bargin for all we know.
Thought £50K bargains used to be Warnock's speciality? :D

I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, but I reckon Carney could well turn out to be bargain of the season... touch wood.
 
ball greedy,cant shoot,no right foot hes rather raw wouldnt you say,obviously all this can be sorted out but wil ltake time.
 
How you can judge a player until you see him play a number of times is beyond me.

So many players get slagged before they start......remember Hulse among others?
 
I wasn't talking about judging him, I was talking about the fact none of us can wait now until the season starts and to see him in proper action.

Jonny.....

Just where did I say YOU was judging him?

Why do you always think everyone is getting at you?
 
As I said in the other thread:

*You can expect to have paid anywhere from 150,000-400,000 pounds for David Carney. A good fee for mine given the present British market. (In fact if this 50k transfer fee is true you've gotten away with highway robbery)

*He's an out-and-out winger. Real old school in the way he hugs the touchline. Has the capacity to hug the line all day when needed - positioning in that sense is solid.

*He's *very* left-footed. Jokes about the non-existence of Dave Carney's right foot are in abundance. That said, it's a very classy left foot.

*Prefers to play on the left-wing but gained fame at SFC through playing on the right (either in a 4-4-2 or up front/out wide in a 4-3-3 later). He will literally hug the touch line and wait for the ball, then dribble past his fullback and anyone he feels like. His direct style of running at a player and taking them on is extremely entertaining, very old-fashioned in a way. His confidence never drops - he'll take his man on all day long.

*More often than not for us was a real attacking threat. A key player in the SFC side going forward. Due to cutting in from the right he got a few shots on target. Has 8 goals/9 assists in 38 games (34 starts) at SFC.

*That said in his latter days he started tracking back a lot more. He recently played (and impressed) for Australia in a left wing-back role (Australia play with a back three), and is expected to keep it. He'll line up in midfield for you but should still be able to track back well. Experience growing up in England w/ Everton means the English game will be no worries.

*He's got a huge belief in his own ability. Has never hidden his desire to go back overseas after resurrecting his career at SFC and now has his chance. If he's good enough (and I believe he well could be at CCC level), he'll do it. Won't fail through lack of trying.

*Don't let his past list of clubs fool you. Caught in a rut after leaving Everton, he's certainly above the likes of Hamilton. The A-League is the rough equivalent of good League One/bad CCC sides, and Dave is one of the League's top 5-10 players. In the near future you will see the cream of the A-League go in to Europe's top tier (i.e. Michael Beauchamp now at Nurnberg winning the German Cup).

*Turned down Plymouth and Wednesday to head your way. That's a fact. Also rumoured interest from Wigan and Reading.
 

thanks very much for the info Jaza!
