City transfer thread

[dennisboothstash]

We all know how unreliable YouTube videos can be but Diomande looks to have strength and pace - a combination that recent strikers have been sadly lacking at City for quite some time. I'm really looking forward to seeing if he can keep that up in the Championship.

Looks like he's used to getting crosses in from the right too, which when Elmo is on form seems our most likely point of attack

 

[Amin Arrears]

He was a decent finisher. He rarely started and rarely got chances to score when he did. However, when he did get chances, he put them away comfortably.

Agreed that finish late on at home to Derby in particular was brilliantly taken.

 

[Tony Angelino]

There was quite a bit of interest in both Elmo and Hudd towards the end of the window.

Suppose it depends what you call interest. It hardly sounded like city were fighting them off[/QUOTE]

Roll on January.........thats when our best players will get cherry picked

Jesus... Always look on the bright side

Think this has been a great window for us jelavic gone ,striker in who could be good,kept most of our team and shoddy to come back,very little spent they may be keeping funds for january if we are in a good position.

I almost choked laughing when I saw that typo.
or perhaps you meant someone else?

Completely agree with you on that Bill. The guy looks very strong on the ball, unlike Hernandez, and has a good turn of speed, combined with an eye for goal. Seems hard to knock off the ball and could be a real handful to Championship defences. Looks like a good buy for 1.7 mill. Should combine well with young Akpom. Well done SB. Very happy we've kept Diame and Elmo and moved Jelavic on.

Sporting have just met Diame's release clause

I heard it was Burnley, he's having his medical in Hull & sending the paperwork using Hull City fax machine so they can save some money on paper & electric.

You said: "However, when he did get chances, he put them away comfortably."
So you dont consider a penalty as a chance?

Come on Peter, he's not the only one who's missed penalties under pressure...much better players have cocked-up. Prossies penalty that day was under severe pressure for someone who hadn't been on form at the end of that season.
Remember these ?

IMO keeping Diame is our best business this summer. Best midfielder in the league by a mile when fit!

We should sign also the number 7 Asante he puts them on a plate to Diamande score.

A bit late now

Was thinking exactly the same

Ahahaha not a chance. We have William Carvalho and besides the window is closed since midnight.

That wind-up was a good one. I see Portugal's window doesn't close for three weeks!

This ^^^^^. A great understanding between 'em. Do we have anyone on the books who'll do the same ? Maloney possibly. Could be exciting if they gel.

 

[tigerrev]

It was a decent penalty met with an even better save. Players miss chances now and again; he scored more than he missed.

It was a crap penalty and why he took it I will never know. The only German who can't take a penalty and we had him!

 

[Charon]

I do. Do you remember his brace against Ipswich, his goals against Leyton Orient, his goal against Cardiff, his goals against Huddersfield and Middlesbrough?

he got 3 league goals in 29 appearances - ****

I nearly choked when i posted it.

So pretty much the same as Hernandez?
