Paul Green.

First on what will be a long list of players to be linked with City.

And certainly not one of the more exciting.

I'm not actually convinced he'll benefit the team. We already have McKenna, Evans and Cairney, and I don't think any of those have done enough to deserve to be dropped from the entire squad.

Unless of course he's a potential replacement for McKenna, if he only has 1 season left in him.

 

You could get 'Sticky' status for a thread like this, John...

 

I would say that he's earmarked for the right midfield role that will be totally vacant come the end of the season, however from his hairdresser mate (see previous threads) I know he hates playing there and has had multiple bust-ups with Clough about it. Plus, he'll be after a massive signing-on fee and a pay rise from his present 11k a week which I cant see us giving. Hence, I reckon he'll go elsewhere and play centre-mid.

 

"Green's technical ability and versatility would suit Barmby's model and provide competition for Paul McKenna, Corry Evans and Tom Cairney in the heart of City's midfield, and provide cover at right-back."

That could make him handy.

 

I hope we dont sign him. as many have said we have enough midfielders. cairney, evans & mckenna. we only play with 2 CM's anyway. just get a decent loan in to cover CM and we'll be fine.

 

Cannot see him getting a pay rise, its just Derby wanted to reduce his pay. With no transfer fee and some monies off our wage bill, I would have thought Green would be well within our budget
