City transfer thread

Assombalonga wont be fit much before Christmas due to his injury.

 

Didn't realise he was injured :/

 

Yes. Picked up a nasty one last season. Otherwise i would have hoped that SB would have made a move for him back in January.

 

Yep Assombalonga is out with an ACL. Rate him though so we should make a move in January.

 

Assombalonga cost Forest about 5 or 6 million a year ago and has further impressed, they're going to look to turn a healthy profit on him, there's no chance we're going to go spending the 10 odd million he'd most likely cost.

 

Alexander Søderlund at Rosenborg is the top scorer in Norway at the moment and has a career goalscoring record of almost 1 in 2. Players from that region don't usually cost much, would be an inexpensive gamble. I'll ask Brucey.

 

Ask him to do a preseason tour in the US sometime this century.

 

They say the Norwegian league is the closest thing to the premier league in terms of footballing style, so players from over there tend to take straight to the English game.

 

Worked well for Cardiff.

 

Villa coming in for Robertson perhaps.

"Sherwood is planning to entice Robertson back to the top flight, but he faces competition with both Arsenal and Premier League champions Chelsea monitoring developments.

And with Swansea and Everton long-term admirers of the 21 year old, it looks like he will be in demand once this 
season finally comes to an end."

Heard it was on cards. But relegation and the short turn a round wont make it possible this summer.

 

I suspect this is just more paper talk and the clubs mentioned are linked with most Tom, Dick and Harrys.

Robertson is not ready for the PL yet. Our relegation at least will allow him to develop properly.

 

Sherwood is planning to buy everyone.

 

17yr old Barnett striker Matt Stevens might be worth a punt. Wont cost that much compared to some we have had recently.

 

Problem is that nobody wants to play for him or Villa.

Even Tom Cleverley wont be going back.

For a start they need wonga and only a new owner will provide that.

 

Martin Pusic is the top scorer in the Danish League.

Remember him?

 

Looked like he was either in a hair metal band/ a bond villain/ an Olympic cross country skiing champion from memory?

 

Haha saw this the other day. I thought he was pretty good, was it not injury that prevented him from pushing on? Belaid was another who was ok. We didn't half sign some random players.

 

I honestly didn't mind Pusic. He didn't really get a chance to show anything. He looked alright in his handful of appearances.

 

Swansea have just has a £250,000 bid rejected for him .
