If the Yak goes,then depending on who you rate it don't rate,it could be argued the spine of the first team has al but gone. We have tattoed sick note up front,no Harry and two keepers who the fans either hate or ridicule. Dawson is slowing down and has become injury prone,Dave is still injured to my knowledge and Robbo is a wanted man if you believe all you read. Add to that Hudds must be pinning for his mate at West Brom,Clucas is highly rated and the Allams haven't jumped off the bridge yet so like I say,we really do need a signing or two sharpish Imo.
Hernandez scored over 20 goals last time, he's hardly a sick note.
Who hates mcgregor? Never seen anyone say that or ridicule him.
The Allams haven't but you seem pretty close.
 
If he has a release that's moronic. He's hardly paid enough to have justified one. We shouldn't be releasing release clauses in every player's contract. Particularly given the last time he was signing a new deal he was our second choice keeper.

It's the price you have to pay to get players to sign contracts with 40-50% wage reductions on relegation.
 
Abraham link'n up with City , by all accounts.

The fickle Mags are no longer calling him the Wunderkind who will tear up the Premier League, with his utter brilliance.

He's now a greedy ****er who lacks ambition, and isn't half as good as he thinks he is.

And he's unproven.

And he lacks integrity and isn't a man of his word.



Oh, and he's got a **** agent.




Maybe we should stay well clear, he sounds like trouble.

He did indeed. Teams are crying out for strikers,if your sales pitch is right,let's see who fancies him this summer then.

It would be interesting to see wage reduction saving versus player market value against relegation clause. Based on some of the seemingly really low fees quoted for our players - is the 40-50% reduction worth it?

So far, it looks like the low release figures only apply to the players we weren't overly concerned about at the time they signed their contracts. Chester, Brady, Livermore, Snodgrass and Maguire all seem to have high release clauses. Only Diame's was borderline and I think that without it we probably wouldn't have got him in the first place.

Seems like maguire didn't have one, or else we wouldn't have had a particular valuation of him, as I doubt we put a 20m valuation in when signing him from Sheffield united.

Almost certainly, bearing in mind that we supposedly got him for £3m due to such a clause in his West Ham contract.
 
The defence under Phelan was never good enough so Marshall had little chance..

We've been down this route before. I've not seen anything from Marshall to suggest he's anywhere near good enough. He has been woeful. Even an ardent Marshall fan would have very little in the way of defending him on some of the goals he's conceded.

We need to sell a GK or maybe two.

It’s economically bad to keep three expensive 30 something GKs, all who have a chance of being number 1 somewhere.

In terms of economy, I would have thought Jak is on the lowest wage. It’d be good to keep him, Mannion and perhaps sign a freebie GK as No.2.

I like McG and Marshall surely has something in him somewhere, but they’re too expensive to have sat around.

Perhaps this Jak story will have legs and whilst I'd be sorry to see him go, it'd part solve a problem.
 
I think with a new backroom team showing confidence in him he could be a revelation. PotY next season.
By the same rule BCC... MS and his goalkeeping coach made up there mind about him PDQ... Slutsky as a former goalkeeper might think pretty much the same... He's watched ALL CIty's games and if he's done that, the chances of Marshall being number 1 are slim to no chance.
