City transfer thread

They've just doubled their offer. We aren't going to suddenly accept for 1.5m more. We'll want the full 9m.

I'm still peeved we've caved from the original 15m.

 

All smoke and mirrors old bean.

 

I'm not fussed. Your boy said Robertson was going and Brady was staying, so I assume this is all smoke and mirrors from Norwich and we won't accept anything.

 

He's not my boy - he is my youngest brother.

 

Your boy seems to have his wires crossed, not surprised.

 

It's not panicking to point out we've lost a lot of players, we're going to lose more and we need to replace them. That isn't panicking, it's the truth.

Just like last year, when many of us were told we were panicking when we said there was a good chance we'd go down. Low and behold, look what happened, we went down. Football fans are allowed to have an opinion, it's not always going to be positive. If you can't acknowledge that then I'd say football forums really aren't for you.

 

I know, just giving some back.

As I mentioned a few days ago, I'd heard from a pretty reputable source that Brady was definitely leaving, so sounds like there was truth to that. I would hope we can hold out for 9m, thought I'd be happy with 6m + Redmond!

 

What you have to learn about Internet forums is that on all of them there are self important posters who like to play the contrary arrogant role.

I think any fan of this club has a perfect right to panic. Some posters just choose to divert their attention to belittling other posters.

- Lost a lot of players and will lose more.
- We have just been relegated.
- We where terrible last season.
- The current league is very difficult and very difficult to get out of. Plus more games.
- We've stuck with a manager that admitted he thought he would be sacked.
- Still have the name change bullshit hanging over us.
- We are now sponsored by ****ing Flamingo Land. How ambitious and league one.
- Ideally we SHOULD be signing player ASAP. Because it allows them time to settle in and integrate with new teams mates.
- We need 5-7 new players depending on players leaving of cause.

 

Thats weak as piss that.
We will replace them.
Its the constant negativity i cant stand.

 

I don't agree, I can't see why we would accept it after so much public quoting of 9m.

 

Steven N'Zonzi just went for £7 million, we haven't got a prayer of getting more than that for Brady.

 

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I can't see why we're quoting 9m in that case. If we're going on about wanting 9m they may well walk away now after the 6m offer if they don't see him as worth that much, as you don't.

 

Has he got a buy-out clause? If not, then we'll sell him for what we think he's worth. If we're serious about this £9 million estimation, we won't (or shouldn't) sell him for anything less than that, regardless of what Norwich think or how much N'Zonzi went for.

 

It's not weak as piss at all.

What is weak as piss is you arguing because we beat QPR last season it means we have a better midfield than them. Despite the fact none of their current midfield 3 played against is. That was a weak as piss argument.

What gives you that confidence, Bruce's inspired business last summer?

What do you want people to say, that they agree with you wholeheartedly and that we have the best squad in the league and we're going to piss it. I'm not going to say that because frankly I think it's a load of bollocks. The same way I thought posters like yourself telling us it was panicking to say I thought we'd go down, when it wasn't, it was the truth.

 

Who actually said the figure of £9 million? I've heard 15, 7 and now 9. I haven't seen any official quotes claiming that figure?

 

HDM reporting sources at the club. They could be off I suppose, generally when they make such references they've got the inside knowledge. We'll see I suppose.

 

Norwich seem to be desperate to get him...wonder if they've got a plan b, cause we're not shifting on the valuation by the sounds of it
