Transfer Rumours 2016/17 City Transfer Thread

If he's anywhere near as good were lucky.

 

Unproven in the Premier league, but appears to be a 100% player which Diame never was. Diame was a potential match winner - but drifted in and out of games which is a luxury we cannot afford at this level with our squad. We need players who give 100% for 90 minutes. Diame was not this type of player - it remains to be seen whether Henriksen is, but the write ups so far are promising.

 

If the guys from our Amsterdam office are right, he is a completely different type of player to Diame. Always involved, a true box to box player, as others have mentioned like Lampard.

They reckon we got ourselves a bargain.........but the Prem is a different game to the Dutch league......so TWT

 

Surely we move straight on to speculating about the January window?

 

Agree with keeping the current XI for the Burnley game all being well. However, in time I see the XI changing to something on the lines of this.

Marshall
Elmo. Jake. Davies. Robbo

Thudd. Mason. Clucas.
Norway

Abel. Mbok

Big Mike's got some pleasantly difficult decisions to make now.

 

****ing hell I wish I'd switched off the alerts thing. I've had smoke coming out of my computer for the last 3 days with it pinging every few seconds when a post has been made on this thread

 

In the last couple of days I totally forgot about the other threads.

 

There are other threads?

 

Apart from Rosie himself is crocked now

 

I'm a bit surprised we didn't cover full back positions tbh. Thought Gunter or similar would come in. Perhaps there is someone out of contract we have our eye on for when the takeover goes through.
Otherwise we must be thinking along the lines of Meyler covering right back until Moses is fit and Tymon, Clucas or Weir covering Robbo.

 

Got to say never seen Henriksen play live, but from little highlights I`ve seen and the reports from those who have, especially from our Norwegian poster, it appears the lad is 100% effort, and not short of skill and guile, on the other hand Diame on his day had flashes of brilliance but only showed us his potential in flashes. I`m hoping we have an upgrade in Henriksen and am really looking forward to seeing what he is about.

 

We were regularly linked with Gunter, but that was when Brucie was here I think. Pity we didn`t go in for him, in fact not sure whether he moved or not during the window.

 

The game can be harsh at times & I'd have Marshall in @ burnley sorry jak!

 

On what we have seen so far can't see how Snodgrass can be left out.

 

Indeed. I'm thinking Mateja Kezman.

 

So he's adopted then?

 

I think Jak will keep his place

 

Yeah maybe but after last year there I'd be tempted to put Marshall in! i know it was Greegsy last year but I don't want to lose to them again due to a mistake! Marshall is the better keeper!

 

I would be worried about that but 2 seasons ago when we got Ben Arfa etc. we were way up there and the pundits were lauding us. Looked how that turned out.
