Shows how vital an old seasoned pro like Garry O'Neil was

Apart from that mad moment at Stoke, he basically did all the dirty work in that midfield, to lead and to hold it together as best as he could, and worked well with whomever he was paired.

He was captain in all but name, now he's gone and we've got absolutely no spine, leadership or nous in that team, all for the best part of £55m.

    - I meant spine as in building a spine of the team eg (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Dec 12, 13:31:39
      - Explains why his transfers are so random. Um the defence is a bit rubbish, must get some (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Dec 12, 13:40:59

        Elmander was only bought as he looked like Grant Holt... (n/m) (NCFC) - Vivid Data Shark, Dec 12, 13:42:18
  - Yeah, the critics that said he wasn't good enough to be playing for us had a point (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 12, 11:32:26
    - McCormack would have been a very expensive flop for us. Villa fans want rid of him. (n/m) (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Dec 12, 16:01:06
  - sadly I think that's about right (NCFC) - paulg, Dec 12, 11:22:50

        Lambert basically signed captains or vice captains. Made for a very mentally strong side (n/m) (NCFC) - Hulk Rules, Dec 12, 11:51:55
        
        I'd also say he signed lads for whom signing for Norwich and playing in front of 25,000 (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Dec 12, 11:59:44
        
        Absolutely. (NCFC) - lurd, Dec 12, 12:03:53
        
        Plus renewing Tettey and the like after each new relegation isn't a great plan imho (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Dec 12, 12:06:03
