Harry doing the presser with Brucey this morning. please log in to view this image Shaun Maloney not fit to face Brighton tomorrow, looking at 10 days out with a thigh injury. Alex Bruce and Michael Dawson still both out injured. Isaac Hayden will play. Bruce confirms that the HITC story about Christian Santos is complete bollocks. No incomings or outgoings as things stand currently. Bruce hopes deals can be reached with Meyler and Elmo, but rules out move for Chester.
I think he's decent and he actually looks a threat when he plays don't know why he's classed as a defensive mid.
So which regulars are most likely to sit this one out? Meyler, Abel, Jake? Not much chance of Davies getting a day off, with CBs in short supply.
Well he's going regardless now I suppose, so if he plays great it'll be a case of what might have been. I don't think he's had a fair go (as the Aussies say).
Hold on, been out of the loop or something here.....is Hayden staying at City? If he does stay, it'd maybe suggest that one of our CMs is on their way (Hudd) as we've hardly seen him recently
He was being recalled by Arsenal to loan to Fulham, but the deal fell through, so it looks like he's probably staying.
Play him. He'll be well up for it. Motivated to pick up his win bonus so that he can afford to buy some new trousers.
No problem - & thanks OLM for correctly explaining my question. My understanding was that Hayden was now staying & I just wondered whether Eltigre had some new information on what seems to be an ever changing situation. Roll on the end of the Transfer window!
Hope Hayden has a cracking game tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing him in action. I've seen another video where Bruce says Akpom has trouble with his teeth, if he's still teething it probably explains why he's such a stroppy bastard at times...
Just talked to a pal who is a Brighton supporter, he says they have 7 out injured and won't risk more injuries so are playing their kids.
