How's that for timing... http://www.southyorkshiretimes.co.u...to-pounce-for-rovers-star-coppinger-1-4832612 Though they've actually been discussing this on the Donny boards since last week... http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=234085.0
I'd have thought O'Driscoll at Forest would be interested in decent former players too, especially as Forest have a major rebuild in progress. Didn't realise he was 31 now though!
Seen on a few places that City are in talks with Dave Kitson ? Showing on here http://football-rumours.co.uk/hull-rumours.php and on Twitter ? I know City News came out and said its not happening which i hope is true. This guy is definitely past it!!
They're after him too, someone has just suggested that they're bidding £1.2m, which seems exceptionally high for a 31 year old.
Far too much IMHO - I would say £250k - £500k maximum considering his age, and Doncaster want him off the wage bill according to some reports. He'd be a decent acquisition though as he can play full back too. If we do sign him and Elmohamady, I think that could be it for Wingers - go with Aluko, Stewart (Elmohamady and Coppinger - if signed) 2 for each wing.
They've already rejected a bid from Ipswich that was somewhere around £300k, I suspect they're looking for at least £500k, but Forest could spoil the party if they're prepared to throw big money at it.
Coppinger operates on the right, along with Stewart, Elmohamady and Aluko (I think) are we just going to play right wingers, or will it be a right footer on the left? Data says Aluko is a left footer that plays on the right....(You Tube confirms he's a lefty that certainly seems to have a preference of playing on the right and cutting in)
Good player I seem to remember? http://m.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/120815/transfer-rumours-and-paper-review-tom-hopkinson-â-wednesday-
The Sun: Hull are set to raid near-neighbours Doncaster for their attacking midfielder James Coppinger.
No wonder The Sun has us finishing so low then. Not sure if he is better than what we have already though ? Great website by the way Artur.
Not having a go here, but we have a City Rumours thread, so why does everyone start a new thread when there's a new City rumour? I've merged three Coppinger threads already, I'll leave this forth one up for today, just to avoid a fifth, but can City rumours go on the City rumour thread please.
