Transfer Rumours 2016/17 City Transfer Thread

Completely agree, players are a small cog in the sale and given our lack of bodies the new owners will be happy to see their future investment strengthened cheaply.

I expect we will see 2-3 free transfers on initial one year contract with option of extention with games played
a couple of cheap championship/overseas players (from the Diame money)
Plus a few on loan.

Unless new owners are confident of getting deal done in next 10 days

 

No way,

There some dosh in the championship this season, did I heard right today that wolves have a bid of £20 million bid in for a overseas player.

 

seems a lot of Chinese cash in the midlands in particular

 

Honestly think the championship is moving towards becoming premier league one and splitting from the football league

 

Cant believe we arnt in for Chester.. would be the perfect signing,, knows the club, the way we play, everything... he'd just slot straight back in next to Davies.

 

Michael Hector who was at Reading would be nice....back at Chelsea now.

More fool them. Saw them twice last season. MT dominated Abel and they drew with us. Play off final. CB makes the mistake that gives us the game.
I'd take him.

 

Liam Moore from Leicester? 2m should get him, he is keen on a move from Leicester

 

Yeah he'd get my vote.

 

Perfect signing for them, as it would have been for us under any sort of normal circumstances. Good luck to Chezzy

 

Does anyone remember how it feels when a signing goes through?
Can't recall it any more

 

Unless we hear anything in 12 hours our bench will be the youngest in Premier League history

 

It will resemble a crèche.

 

Might as well create some records that nobody ever will beat whiles we're in it.....

 

Only at Hull City would there be more youngsters on the bench than in the stands.

 

If they are genuinely serious about buying and keeping us up this season, If they're smart, they may have contacted Bruce to find out what his plans for signings/needs were going to be had he stayed. Consultation by Bruce for a fee, or a promise to be rehired (1 year contract with options) should the sale go through. Phelan may well be involved too ?

 

Phelan is a very clever man and he will have helped Bruce make his plans. If he is given a chance he will do well providing he gets some players.

There was a reason he sat next to Fergie on the United bench, Fergie was never a great tactician and left that mostly to his No2.
Phelan also gave very honest and open interviews when Fergie declined to.
Did you notice any improvement in performance/results when Phelan joined Bruce or did nothing change?

 

I really don't think Bruce would come back, it isn't worth considering.
