City transfer thread

Dwight Gayle to Bristol City for £6m, surely worth a punt if we can't agree with Bristol City over Gray?

Bristol City wont care. I'd try to agree with Brentford.

How the **** does Bristol City have that money?

Their owner is twice as wealthy as ours.

They've also just been in League One.

Hinckley Town, I will level with you and say I have no idea where that is

It's where Triumph motorcycles are made.

 

[PLT]

Burnsy reporting were still £500,000 short of Brentford's asking price

Yep, and in other news Torino are in for Hernandez; but only on loan initially. And Diame will be back next week.

I know, they didn't like it there, apparently the fancy trying the Premier League next.

I guess my point was the evidence suggests they haven't spent much in the past for one reason or another. Their manager was even interviewed after their match sounding as if nothing was close to happening. Sorry for being surprised. No need to be so patronising.

They offered us £2.5m for Maguire as soon as the window opened.

That was a rumour they dismissed as an enquiry they took no further. 2.5 is also considerably less than 6m with add-ons.

You don't want to. **** hole and full of gyppos and the clap.

They asked, we said we wouldn't be prepared to sell. That's why it didn't proceed. Also, strikers are generally much more expensive than defenders.

They're also restricted by FFP.

 

[originallambrettaman]

They're spending £40m odd on redeveloping the stadium and increasing the capacity to £27k as well.

Pretty sure infrastructure improvements are outside the scope of FFP.

I'm a bit worried that some of our fans like yourself are overrating Gray a bit based on last season, if we don't get him it might be a lot of money saved and I wouldn't be too unhappy if Brucey brought in another striker under the radar. Calling him 'lethal' is a bit OTT like when you were telling me a few weeks ago to give Huddersfield the utmost respect despite them being, a bit crap like. The guy has never played for a big team (I'll flatter us) and has no Northern connections

He played for a team this achieved this in the league we now find ourselves

Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts Promotion, qualification or relegation
1 Bournemouth (C, P) 46 26 12 8 98 45 +53 90 Promotion to Premier League
2 Watford (P) 46 27 8 11 91 50 +41 89
3 Norwich City (O, P) 46 25 11 10 88 48 +40 86 Qualification to Championship play-offs[a]
4 Middlesbrough 46 25 10 11 68 37 +31 85
5 Brentford 46 23 9 14 78 59 +19 78
6 Ipswich Town 46 22 12 12 72 54 +18 78
7 Wolverhampton Wanderers 46 22 12 12 70 56 +14 78

He was their leading goal-scorer, none of them were penalties, he was instrumental in gaining them promotion, their defence less so.

Jay Simpson
Years Team Apps† (Gls)†
2007–2010 Arsenal 0 (0)
2007–2008 → Millwall (loan) 41 (6)
2009 → West Bromwich Albion (loan) 13 (1)
2009–2010 → Queens Park Rangers (loan) 39 (12)
2010–2013 Hull City 78 (12)

Just tell me who has the eye for goal - Jay Simpson or Andre Gray? Bear in mind there is a 2.5yrs age difference and he can only play in the games he has, big teams, middle teams, little teams. Jay Simpson is a really bad comparison.

Andre Gray
2010–2012 Hinckley United 65 (29)
2012 → Luton Town (loan) 9 (5)
2012–2014 Luton Town 88 (47)
2014 – Brentford 51 (19)

He is such a bullshitter. Isn't he bored of being wrong yet?

Brucey saying currently at a stalemate on the Gray deal
