City transfer thread

what's his contract situation? It might be cheaper a year further on.

I mean I could look it up myself, but.....

 

Looks like they're making a loss on Waris as well...if we get £3-4m Waris & Yilmaz it might get interesting

 

A team with no goals could do a lot worse than Ross McCormack. Surely Fulham might want to recoup £6.5m of what they paid?

ALF is still my preference but he'd be a good plan b.

 

You're probably thinking of the one at Galatasaray who was UCL top scorer a couple of seasons ago.

 

Those would be the two I'd go for. It'd also mean we wouldn't have spent anything and gained two players.

Now he is a goalscorer. That's a goalscoring record that I imagine Roo expects from every single striker ever.

 

He's got a record of less than one a game, not good enough for Roo.

 

So is Waris a replacement for Mr Ince?

 

Brucey is a big fan of the African players as well, said it himself....plus he's played in England before so none of this struggling to settle bullshit!

Both would be a gamble mind

 

I'm not sure how much he'll have learned playing in Forest Green reserves, although he might've learned the fundamentals.

 

Don't backtrack now. I was talking about Fryatt being out all season with an achilles and you banged on about how there was no way he could have been out all year because he scored 5 times.

 

After hearing that Hernandez can't handle playing in winter (if it's the truth) I wouldn't want us to sign another soft one...at least Waris knows what it's like.

 

They said the same about Geovanni and it wasn't true. What's not to handle about playing in Winter time? Hernandez scored in Winter time, he didn't look out of place at all. His lack of playing time, international call ups and travelling round the world were what contributed to an unsuccessful season.

 

Hmm, not the best example. From memory wasnt he well off the pace during winter?

 

I actually don't mind him and think he could do us a good job for us in the Championship. He's played one winter so he might be used to it now....who's to say that he won't score as many as Rhodes did this season?! Some players take time to settle but how keen Bruce is on him remains to be seen.

 

People going on about Hernandez and winter, have they seen how cold it gets in Turin or Udine during winter? The former hosts winter olympics for frig's sake.

 

Exactly.

The whole team was well off the pace over Winter and indeed, for the rest of the season.

 

The winter thing could be total bullshit, in any case I'd keep him if no decent offers were received.

 

Transfer update:

The story so far, for those who can't be bothered to read through 56 pages, we haven't sold anyone, nor have we signed anyone. I hope this helps?

 

I think ALF would be a more than useful addition, but we'd still need a couple more at least. We've had goal scoring issues for ages now and my confidence in the club getting it right isn't very high. ALF would be a great starting point though.
