Transfer Rumours 2016/17 City Transfer Thread

This Norwegian lad sounds like someone worth getting according to that article

 

Agreed. I wonder if he'd be interested in doing our match threads?

 

One sat near me on Saturday and he was drawing players positions and movements on sheets of A4 but he spent most of his time sketching out the penalty area 6 yard box etc on countless bits of paper.
He would have been better watching on the box at home .

 

Apparently this striker fella is having a medical abroad somewhere- another Alan Nixon tweet.

 

Hospital for a leg assessment?

 

caicedo i hope lol

 

More likely a match scout then a player scout. Determining player movement, how to counter it, how team sets up for defence, set pieces ect. You dont get that of the tele, on a corner for example you get 6 yd box on tv, but not how they set further out to break away

 

If this comes off and it's actually a player worth signing (which is doubtful) kudos to the club for keeping it under wraps.

 

I bet it's Gyan on loan.

 

I am surprised with this little time to go that it is not clear who we are talking to, the 2/3 players.

 

Demba Ba would cost us at least a leg.

 

By your lad

 

Gyan has already been linked and (apparently) failed a medical at Reading recently.

 

I read that he'd failed a medical, but also that he had pulled out of the deal. It just sounds like he had a better offer.

 

There aren't that many players it could be- foreign striker who has played in the Premier League before- and certainly few who have been successful.
Thinking about it,
Kramaric
Vela
Jovetic
van Wolfswinkel
Kalinic
Caiceido
van Persie are about the only names I can come up with

 

He's made that sound like he knows who it is but just isn't telling us?

 

Podolski?
