City transfer thread

[londontiger]

I've heard pretty reliable news that we're in for Gary Hooper.

You been chatting up the lass in the club shop now?

No, someone I trust and has been right with his info so far.

I suspect we'll be after him when we get rid of a striker. What I don't get though is surely we would have just accepted cash + Hooper for Brady as we'll end up paying a bit back to them if this is indeed going to happen. I guess we'll see.

I'll leave this here.

Leaving it for what reason Big?

And what has Huddlestone done? He's more central and should have a better view of the goal for shots. I think Elmo is more inconsistent with his crossing considering he gets so much much practice at doing it with the passes out to him.



I think it's highly questionable to say that Robertson puts better crosses in, because I really haven't seen that. Robertson is more about the hope that he will become better.

Yes, there's more potential in Robertson, but when he played he was better than Brady the majority of the time, just another under utilised player and selection **** up from Bruce IMO.

We should snap their hands off for 7m, which we're obviously in the process of.

I think it is more to do with the lack of City activity at the moment, as well as no overseas postings in different time zones, with the exception of your good self.

Bruce confirms signing of Clucas.

 

[big vern]

Hey

Our kid totally missed the new signing which is unusual for him. In his defence his hands have been pretty full recently.
Re Hooper I will see what he knows.

Bruce confirms signing of Clucas.

My socks just limply fluttered to the ground.

But seriously, it looks to me like he must have a first class attitude and work ethic, plus a decent football schooling.

Released as a youth at Lester. Worked his way back to a league club with Lincoln. Released again. Got himself a place at the Glenn Hoddle academy, before finally making it and working his way up the leagues.

Got to applaud that.

And it's worth noting his middle name's Raymond. Good solid name that's always welcome at my club.

Anything more than a handful is a waste.

My understanding is he started in League Two last season and moved to League One? So Championship is a big step up again, and highly unlikely he'd manage in the PL.

I think this Clucas signing is great - sprinkle the team with experience and hunger and we have the right ingredients. I'd rather have a Clucas than a £10m disinterested ****e Hernandez.

Absolutely spot on

Aye our kid is grounded for the next week or two. Women is his achilles heel.

News in Portugal that Benfica is trying to get Hernandez on loan. Would love that piece of **** player in that piece of **** team!!

Yep.
If Bruce can get Greegsy Davies and Hudd back to what they were. We'll be laughing. I'd love to keep Jelavic too. n'Doye and Hernandez can go but if we can keep Jelavic and he starts scoring a few i think/hope he'll want to stay.

Caught the highlights of our 2-2 draw with Arsenal again today, Diame's goal was absolutely sublime. When Hernandez put us up 2-1 we were flying, that was such a good point of the season.

I carnt believe we haven't been linked with le fondre yet, him and hooper upfront would be good (as long as bruce drops his long ball tactic)
