Transfer Rumours January Transfer Thread

Gateshead play the same way as us, many thanks for telling us, yet again.

The point is, it's not about having to have world beating technical wizards to be able to play that way, which seems to be a suggestion.

Quite a few of them came from city's academy incidentally.

 

You've missed my point, hey ho, I'll recover and fairly quickly.
Memo to self, subtle doesn't always work, that is all.

You’ve discovered subtlety? A recent discovery, presumably?

 

Now I've tried it, and failed, I won't do it again, warthog gob.

Warthog? A case of Phacochoerusphobia, surely?

 

It's an incredibly technical way to play and not all players can do it, as we've seen with our first team. Just my opinion, but I don't think our current reserves are as good as Gateshead and if players are being picked on personality or popularity over technical ability, then the results on the pitch are going to suffer.

 

We seemed to have missed a bullet, Scott Twine has not featured in Bristol City squad since his first game when he scored against Watford in January, apart from in one game in February he was an unused sub against QPR.

 

Rather than dodged a bullet, I think we only let it inflect a flesh wound.

 

I think Carvalho has been largely disappointing, probably not because of his performances (although some really were a bit dull) but likely because of his reputation, ability and hoping to see more. Which probably isn’t fair on him.

But even so, he’s still been about 174.84 times better than Scotty ‘TomDaly’ Twine.

 

I liked Twine, but he isn't a winger so never really looked great for us. However, we could probably have bought Twine if we don't get promoted. Don't think that's true of Carvalho. Whether we need another another light weight centre mid if not promoted is debatable.

 

We’ve got Omur now who’s arguably better than both.

 

Not shown consistent end product quite yet, though Carvalho has had more minutes .

 

I can never tell when you're on the wind up but your obsession and fixation on that event for Twine is rather strange. Players like Tufan have dived or cheated more blatantly and regularly.

 

What is consistent end product for Omur? Do you mean scoring his you tube goals here? I’d like them , but what I see is a very very good intelligent player who plays well with his colleagues all over the pitch . The last match he took a difficult ball above waist height and laid it off under pressure to another as a one touch . In the Brum match he ran 60 yds back to tackle and cover for Coyle - who shook his hand for doing it . He had a great link up touch - but yes some more shots on target would be good .

 

Omur , what position does he play?
Everywhere!

 

I've wondered about this for a while but was unsure whether it's some strange joke going over my head since it is Bob after all. Glad someone else has asked.

 

TBF he calls out all that dive, even those that don't at times haha

 

Except, as Syd points out, for Tufan. Who is the worst we've got for it.
