City transfer thread

[originallambrettaman]

Clucas scored 12 in 49 last season, primarily playing as a forward, but he also filled in at left back on occasion, though he's traditionally played in midfield.

Sounds like he can play almost anywhere.

They're rejected two bids for him already this window, one was believed to be from Wigan, the other either Reading or Cardiff, who were both apparently chasing him.

We understand Hull City are close to agreeing a deal for Chesterfield's Sam Clucas. The 24-year old can play left-wing or left-back. [HASHTAG]#hcafc[/HASHTAG]

Just in case nobody had seen.

He played up front against us t'other night. Cant say i was impressed with him on that showing.

Sam Clucas? Have we made a signing?

So we are shopping in Lidl then?

No, he sounds like a decent prospect.

Bruce always shops at Lidl but he pays Waitrose prices

Southampton in for Chester now, possible £10m bid, that's another one gone.

 

[Cortez91]

We always expected Chester and Brady to be the two chased.

Really hoped we hang on to at least one of them.

Bit Ironic we had our

Chester is an excellent centre half but we should snap there hands off. He looked lacklustre at the end of the season and his passing is average at best. Obviously sad to see him leave and will miss a 'Chesteresque' tackle and him striding out with the ball.

 

[Fettis the striker]

As much as I don't want to lose either Brady or Chester , we have plenty of back up at cb and Robertson for lb all though lacking a bit of cover there.

I think we're definitely going to lose both unfortunately.

Assuming he goes, we'll replace Chester, we'll be down to four centre backs.

 

[tigerrev]

That's 17 Million in the bank to add to the 4.5 we got for Ince - surely we can re-invest most of that in building up the squad

you mean three plus a liability

£10m is a great price for a player in his final year.

Before the Chesterfield friendly, Rick Skelton said we should put a bid in for Clucas.

 

[originallambrettaman]

Are we after clucas as a striker or lb ?

I certainly don't think we've bought him as a striker, not based on 12 goals in League Two.

Plus the windfall from the sale of Cairney to Fulham.

Is it confirmed 100% we've signed him?

 

[originallambrettaman]

Skelton said we should go for Clucas before the Chesterfield friendly kicked off.

Aye, he was on his list of five potential bargains.

Maybe Bruce follows him on Twitter?
