Transfer Rumours City Transfer Thread

[Steven Toast]

According to Alan Nixon, we’re close to finalising a deal for a ‘decent’ left winger.

Quite possibly very probably Brandon Barker.

Quite possibly very probably Brandon Barker.

Indeed.

According to the Daily Mail, our rejected bid for Townsend was £250k.

How that made the mail I'll never know.

From a Scottish based journalist friend who covers Hibs and Hearts (I asked him when we were first linked.)

"He's mint on football manager. Seriously though he's a decent player, but you'll end up frustrated with him at least once a game. He plays like one of those ringers you see at Goals on a Monday night, who's quite clearly better than the fat blokes around him, but sort of knows it and therefore tries to do it all himself. I'm not passing to you, you're ****. Have fun with that one, he's either going to be a top player or he's going to end up at Leyton Orient in two years time."

So there you go.

Well it’s easier to beat not passing out of a player than it is to beat skill into one...

Sounds like most wingers. Our fans will hate him.

If it's Brandon Barker (just checked, of Man City,), is it likely to be a loan deal only?

True enough.

Seems to work ok for Rajeem Sterling.

I think they're willing to let him leave and he wants to leave. So yeah, probably just a loan.

 

[Barchullona]

Actually, if we made a decent offer, I think we’d be his preferred option, he’s a City fan and still lives in Hull, he’s also involved in a business in Hessle.

Trouble is, even we matched the transfer fee of the others, would we match the wages.

 

[Steven Toast]

Yup, probably. He's a good player, though. So is Milinkovic, I'd be happy with our wide options if this came to be.

Pace! Pace scares people. We need a striker really Campbell is a massive shadow of his former self. Dicko is the best we’ve go by a country mile at the moment.

Campbell may be a shadow of his former self but he's still better than Dicko by a country mile.

Hopefully, Campbell, with a full pre-seaon behind him, will be much improved on last season.

Dicko’s far better.

Escab must have an out for Groswicki planned then...?

Why do you call him Escab? I might be missing something, but it doesn’t make any sense to me.

IMO Dicko is better in the system we are playing rather than Campbell, Campbell just doesn't have the legs now to play a lone striker he needs to be playing with a partner.
