Transfer Rumours City Transfer Thread - Jan 19

Have we signed anybody yet?

 

Yes, Marc Pugh.

 

Still losing 1-2.

And let's be clear, we're only 1-2 down because there hasnt been any even half serious bids for our sellable assets..

48 hours (ish) which is different to 24 hours which we all know is a fictional amount of time,..

 

Or you coulsd say let's be clear, we are only 2-1 down because another team took their player back which we have no control over

But that wouldn't suit you negative love to whinge attitude would it

 

Most deals aren’t done until the last 24 hours. So we’ve got at least another 3 Years using a reputable Allam clock.

 

No, let's just stick to facts. Nige wanted support to strengthen. We have seen 2 players leave, for whatever reasons, with so far only 1 incoming. Meanwhile yet another parachute payment goes in their pockets to pay for our gift. More money would be going in their pockets had anything like half decent bids come in. Still, time yet. Nothing to do with negativity, everything to do with having **** owners.

 

Ok let's stick to facts

One player has left due to their parent club taking them back..no control over

One player has left because we where happy to let him leave as he was let's be honest....useless

One player has come in who looks good

One player was here but for whatever reason Cardiff pulled the plug, again .no control over it

There is still 2 days of the window to go to sign the 2 more nige said he wants

We haven't sold turbo and or Bowen or anyone of any quality

Am I missing any facts out? Bar the usual and always agreed on one about our owners being ****s?

 

I think we will sign two more players before Thursday's deadline.

 

So do I, but some on here just can't help but be negative etc.. if the widoww closes and we don't then whinge away but until then...

 

Not really the point
The squad needed strengthening weeks ago.
I’ve always suspected that Ehab likes to do business late to save a few weeks wages...meanwhile we have to play games

 

You mean early like the Cardiff player that was here but then they pulled the plug?

Would you rather players in early in the window who where poor singings or late players who improve us? Jan window the majority of the business is done last 48hrs and always have been that way! Out of interest, when in the window did we sign Wilson last season?

 

Just remind me, who did we get in the Jan window last season?

 

In fairness Pugh must exceed expectations. He’s a decent loan signing.

 

That lad we picked up late in the Jan window last year was a unwanted bit part player as well

 

We got lucky with that 1, how many of the summer signings have taken months to hit their own potential and we still have some who are performing way below their previous form.

 

Got lucky or identified a player, went for him and it worked... I'll take another "lucky" Wilson late in the window.

 

What's Ben Arfa doing these days?

 

Main problem position is centre half. We need at least 2. De Wijs and Burke are good, but prone to injury. McDonald and Mazuch are a waste of time considering as they are too often injured.

If we brought in two central defenders I’d be happy. Anything beyond that is a bonus.

Irvine is back. We’ve kept hold of Grosicki and Bowen (so far) and arguably strengthened the team by letting Keane leave on loan
