Transfer Rumours January Transfer Thread

[TwoWrights]

Allsop is, arguably, the worst shot stopper I have ever seen since I started watching City in '68

Hesford, end of.

Hesford, end of.

You have a point there. He was "eccentric"
Don't remember Scott Thompson

Hesford

He would have been proud of the Watford goal, right up his street.

Hateley signing from Scotland. Utter ****e.

Not surprised. Thompson only had 9 appearances for us.Was struggling to remember him my self and had to google him.

We should try Allsop upfront in the cup game, they won’t see that coming!

Everyone seems to acknowledge Allsop is good with his feet, but I don't think people appreciate just how good he is. He quite routinely puts Connolly through on goal with one pass and he probably should've had a few assists at this point. Off the top of my head there was one against Birmingham, one in the first few minutes against Cardiff where he rounded the keeper but a defender blocked the shot, and the one that led to Gunn wiping him out on Friday. Our build up probably plays a part in creating that space before Allsop plays the pass, but make no mistake that his long passes are a serious weapon for us, and if Pandur is going to oust him he'll need to be similarly good.

He’s great with his feet. Not so great with his hands. If we could combine Allsopp with Ingram - we’d have a fantastic keeper.

You would think most keepers would decent(ish) with there feet. They have only been around football forever!

I think it’s a bit more than that! Speed of thought, seeing runs and being able to just ping it round sub consciously with half a seconds notice. A bit like Seri or Huddlestone.

Hull thoughts on losing Scott Twine?

Disappointing to be honest. Physically not strong enough for this leave. League 1 is his level it seems. Maybe your gaffer can get more out of him than ours did.

 

[The Compositor]

Scott Thompson
Lee Bracey
Poor old Hezza (although he had brighter spots in his previous career)

Add Richard Wright to that list.

So you want Ingropp. Knowing our luck, we’d end up with Allam. ****, it’s their revenge.

He is probably one of the worst shot stoppers I’ve seen at this level, Marshall was better and quite convincingly too.

I’m struggling to think of a worse shot-stopper for City in recent memory than Allsop. Good with his feet but he’s so **** at everything else a keeper should be.

 

[Gone For A Walk]

I dunno mate, just going by the fact he's not 22, he's 31. Something tells me we don't see him as our keeper for the next 5 seasons.

Maybe not 5 seasons, but something tells me that perhaps the expectation would reasonably have been a little more than 4 and a bit months as our No. 1?
Rosenior wanted to bring 'his man' in. A poor decision. Just another waste of time, effort and money, and opportunity cost.

I’ve been a big advocate for Allsop’s ability with the ball. I agree that we look a lot more dynamic on the ball with him in net.

Theres only one keeper worse than him in terms of goals conceded vs expected goals conceded and that’s Wednesdays keeper Dawson. I’m pretty sure with an average shot stopper we have 6 more points maybe more

Not if he was about 5th choice on our list and a stopgap, no.

Reckon they lost out on a couple of others so went with a low cost option with the idea to revisit this window.

He certainly didn't cost a lot. Reckon Ingram will probably go this window or next to fund Pandur.

 

[AlRawdah]

Add Richard Wright to that list.

And Richard Knight.
And Tommy Wright.
