@Manc_Blue_: Pantillimon to Hull. Fee agreed with City #mcfc One or two Citeh accounts on twitter calling this one. Thoughts?
Blinding if true and the story is coming from Romania... Portarul Costel Pantilimon își negociază în aceste zile transferul de la Manchester City la o nou promovată în Premier League. Este vorba de chipa Hull City, unde portarul naționalei României are toate șansele să ajungă. Pantilimon este nemulțumit de statutul de rezervă de la City și este decis să se transfere la o echipă unde să fie neapărat titular incontestabil. Which very roughly translates to... Goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon has negotiated a transfer from Manchester City to newly promoted Premier League team Hull City. Pantilimon is unhappy playing in Man City reserves and has decided to move to a team where he will get first team football. http://www.b1.ro/stiri/sport/portar...proape-de-un-transfer-la-hull-city-58735.html
This would be a great signing and better than any of the keepers we hoped for (except maybe Friedel, but he's still better long term). Fingers crossed.
Made me chuckle that. On topic though he's by far the best keeper we've been linked with I seriously hope it's got legs.
If this is true, it's a major coup for us. Get your prayer mats out! Must say, BTW, I am VERY impressed with the players Steve Bruce is trying to bring in.
Nobody will out jump this guy from corners at least. Would still like Mark Schwarzer or Shay Given but not bad as a 3rd option if it happens. Well done City if it does.
Can't say I've seen too much of him. Video of him here Vs Arsenal: http://www.eplmatches.com/league-cup/arsenal-vs-man-city-highlights-carling-cup/4539/ (from about 1 min in - makes 2/3 great saves)
Well he played in all the FAC games for Man City apart from the Final and a handful of others from memory. One for the future as well if true.
He seems a good keeper from what I've seen. He's certainly much better than Stockdale. Good signing if true.
Racist. I agree though. Please don't invade every thread on here with Scottish ****, there's already three Hooper threads for you to argue on.
For the Long Term he is better than any that we have been linked with. Massive bloke whio should handle crosses in his sleep.
