Transfer Rumours 2016/17 City Transfer Thread

[Steve Wilson's Monocle]

Morning all, first time posting, long time lurking.

Joao from Wednesday looks to have potential is very good at holding the ball up. He could be worth a punt if other options are slim.

Just doing some reading round on the news now links and can't help but notice that the HDM website is the worst website out there for trying to read anything on. Painful to use.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

But if he wasn't good enough for Reading, what makes you think he's suddenly going to be good enough in the Premier League again? He's not once looked good playing us or playing for Reading full stop which is why we're a little confused that you're backing us signing him. A new lease of life doesn't always ring true, look at what happened with Ben Arfa and he's 10x the player HRK is. Also, his initials are an anagram of HKR, so no chance we'll sign him.

Hernandez doesn't need a target man to play off at all, what he needs is the team to play to his strengths, get it into his feet and let him have attempts on goals. He's managed 20 odd goals without a target man, I think it's safe to say he doesn't need one. A strike partner perhaps, a target man not necessarily.

As a FAT Robson-Kanu is not a risk. However I think our targets are of a higher level first off, but at the cheaper end a chance worth taking.

As for your point re. Hernandez. A target man and someone who can hold the ball up @ PL level and is well proven is just what he needs. It would have been 30 plus last season if we had had one. But I still hope that Diomande can show something more than we have seen so far. twt.

As things stand currently, we haven't got any targets.

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

Palace are quoting 11m for Gayle and Fulham 12m for McCormack,
Either Bruce gets lucky with a FAT or an inspired lower leaguer signing or some serious moneys going to have to be spent to bring someone proven in.

Agreed.

Matt Taylor from Bristol Rovers is a free agent this week and Kemar Roofe from Oxford Utd has been valued at £3m. Again worth a punt on both for the cash required. Wages wont be an issue at all.

Yes as if you know either way.

Steve Bruce has his targets,, however...........................

He might well have, but Ehab Allam isn't interested in knowing who they are.

Now that is the problem (Ehab) on top of many other things.

It maybe that Ehab is no longer in a position to sign off anything anymore ?

I'm getting that dreaded feeling that we'll play our first game of the season having made no signings with a threadbare squad.

Hardly a threadbare squad. We have only lost Ryan Taylor and Sone Aluko from last season.

But questions would need asking if nobody had arrived come the Foxes game.

And Isaac Hayden.

And Chuba Akpom.

And Nick Powell.

And at the moment, Tom Huddlestone.

Like the username.

Actually misread your tag line or whatever it's called as "The Bransholme Buffoon" rather than Buffon - which is a shame and has slightly decreased my like of your username.

As thing stand we haven't been given a ****ing budget!!!!!

Maybe we can hijack the Hulk deal when these Chinese folk take us over?

Not at all, it's meant in the right spirit. Willo is my favourite all time City keeper and one of my boyhood heroes.

If we didn't sign anyone and were left with a current squad it would probably be threadbare by EPL standards.

 

[BOJACKHCAFCMAN]

At least we aren't short of keepers Steve Wilson..

 

[The FRENCH TICKLER]

I was meaning the players we owned. Akpom, Hayden and Powell were loans from other clubs btw.

Don't expect an issue over Huddlestone.

It doesn't matter if we owned them or not, it's still five players that we had to call on last season, that we don't have now.

But now does not matter. 13th August - ish does.
