He's still young, he played amazing defensively fro Scotland against England, but he definitely extremely good further up field, he is in the mould of Gareth Bale, whether he fulfils that potential is still to be seen.
Gosh - It's been common knowledge since 2 seasons ago -that Bruce was asking Palacios to bolster the squad....
BREAKING: MURPHY SIGNS NEW DEAL Ipswich Town striker Daryl Murphy has signed a new two-year contract.
Yep. I was going on Ellewoods post that it was him. going to play against Ferriby on Friday apparently. Lets hope he's fit and healthy, would be a great signing if he is.
Indeed, we tried to buy him two years ago for £1.5m, but Stoke weren't willing to take that big a hit on their £6m investment.
and presumably as he's worth nothing now, we'd have taken a £1.5 mill hit - which aint bad for Brucie
Torino Redouble Efforts To Bring In Hull City Striker please log in to view this image Torino have stepped up their assault on Hull City as they look to bring in Uruguayan striker Abel Hernandez from the Championship side. The Granata, among other Serie A clubs including Chievo, Hellas Verona and Bologna, have all been linked with moves for the former Palermo marksman this summer. Sky Sport Italia report that Toro are keen on a deal that would see him arrive on an initial loan deal with a stipulation to make the move permanent at the end of the season, dependent on the activation of certain clauses, but The Tigers are holding out for an outright sale this summer. However, while Torino are very keen on the 24-year-old, they are preparing alternatives given the differences between themselves and Hull over the particulars of the deal. One of those is Palermo’s Andrea Belotti as well as Cesena striker Gregoire Defrel although club president Urbano Cairo has been turned off a move for the latter by the Serie B side’s demands of between €3-4 million, a fee he believes to be too excessive. http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2015/07/torino-redouble-efforts-to-bring-in-hull-city-striker/?
That's my fault I had assumed it was Wilson not knowing he had a brother. So let's not sign his brother then! The announcers kept referring to the Hondurus players by their last name only. The part about Philly taking Wilson on trial and then not offering him a contract because they said he did not impress their coaching staff is still correct. So I still don't want to sign a player a poor MLS team says isn't good enough for them.
No worries. Think the chances of us signing him are pretty slim but its worth a look. I imagine we'll have a few other triallists coming in. Think of the players Bruce and Phelan will know well. We had ***an and Hughes training with us the other year, came to nowt.
Well it depends on your point of view. You could say that because they're playing for a team in the Premier League then they're PL players. But we know that isn't true. Bradford's run to the League Cup final saw them beat 3 Premier League sides (Wigan, Arsenal and Villa), a Championship side (Watford) and a League One side (Notts County). Their whole team played well in every game, so did that mean that their squad was full of Premier League quality players? Or was it that they were in fact League 2 quality, but showed a lot of commitment and effort? Quinn was a handy player to have and he did his best when called upon, but no way is he talented enough to be a regular, consistently quality Premier League midfielder. Had Diame been fit, he (Quinn) would have spent most of the season on the bench being used as an impact player. Similarly, when it became public knowledge that his contract was about to expire, he ended up going to a Championship club. As did McShane and Rosenior and I assume the same will happen to Bruce Jnr. It's not to say they're bad players, because they aren't, but their ability levels aren't enough to be classed as Premier League quality. We were blighted with injuries and suspensions last season so we had to plug the gaps with players like Meyler, Bruce, Quinn and McShane. If they were PL quality players, we wouldn't have struggled so much, but because we had to rely on Championship level players, that's where we ended up. Fair play to them for stepping up to the plate and having a go at keeping us up, but even they knew their own limits and it's probably one of the reasons why they didn't turn down those Championship contract offers to wait for PL interest.
Yea that's true. He spent a month on trial with Philly which is a long time to not be offered a contract. Perhaps it was an issue with him wanting a DP level contract and that's why they didn't offer him one. If that was the issue I still don't want him as most DP players in the MLS aren't good enough to make our squad.
Hey Palacios to be offered a deal to join City. You heard iy here first along with Ince going to The Rams and Brady to Norwich.
