tin Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Just looked up that tibor tisza on youtube(i know!!) and he looks quality really want us to buy him now!! He certainly likes a long range free kick! :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoc Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Some players I'd like to see us in for are: Joe Garner (Carlisle) Rob Earnshaw (Derby) Dave Cotterill (Wigan) Nicky Maynard (Crewe - if he's not priced over £1.5m) Dean Lewington (MK Dons) Lee Croft (Norwich - but will be very hard to get given interest from Prem clubs) Some young players we might be able to get on season long loan: Danny Simpson (Man U) Jay Simpson and Gavin Hoyte (Arsenal) Emiliano Insua (Liverpool) A few players abroad having good seasons that might be worth a visit from Pete Johnson: Mario Mandžukić (Dinamo Zagreb) Želimir Terkeš (NK Zadar) Paweł Brożek (Wisla Krakow) Tisza Tibor (Upjest) You only picked that last one because he rhymes...

Nibor Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 He certainly likes a long range free kick! :noexpression: I think Madger mentioned him this time last year when Vasko signed because he's from the same club. Looked him up again recently and apparently he's had a fantastic season. There's always a risk in bringing in players from abroad but it's mitigated by the fact that they're cheaper. Someone scoring goals like that in the English leagues would be worth millions even if it was at league one/league two level but I reckon he'd be much cheaper.

Wouldn't want Fleetwood anywhere near our club i watched FGR a fair few times last season and he either turns up or goes missing badly ..when the pressure got put on him earlier in the season he bottled it , mind you in the pre season game we played up there he was very impressive ...we really should be aiming for someone with more higher league experience than him though ....

simon uk Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Its a bit of a tabloid equivalent, but teletext earlier had a full page saying that Ross McCormack wants to leave Motherwell, and Wigan, Notts Forest and Bristol City are after him. It says he is a playmaker, but if he is right sided we would have a role for him there. Maynard is the one I want though, he is quality, but I would be thinking he will be going for around 1.5m + If by the time we get a 25% discount (our sell on clause) on Lita though we could be looking at a similar kind of figure, and I would expect him to score more goals in the shorter term.

fgrsimon Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Wouldn't want Fleetwood anywhere near our club i watched FGR a fair few times last season and he either turns up or goes missing badly. You could say that about a lot of strikers even at Premier League level and I do agree that City should be after a proven Championship goalscorer. But you could also get Fleetwood for next to nothing; he is out of contract and therefore it will be a Tribunal fee at most. Surely worth a gamble at, say £25,000, which unfortunately, I think is all that we at FGR will get for him now? No-one could really say for certain whether he could cut it at Championship level, but there's only one way to find out. Personally I think he'd certainly get more goals than Trundle did this season for 1/40th of the price. He has already scored against City, Coventry (hat trick for Hereford), Swindle and Rotherham. Confidence is the key factor with goalscorers; he could get one off his arse in his first game and could then never look back. If it didn't work out you would always recoup any losses by selling him to a League 1/League 2 team. Crewe offered £175,000 in January. Or loan him back to us at FGR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikazee Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 sahme if that's right on the visa bit. out of curiosity looked at the brazillian championship top scorers. top plays for a team finished 19th put in 20 and 2nd for a team that finished 15th so top scorer in a team set to get relegated. got to be worth a phone call from gj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si. Ross McCormack is quality. I mentioned somewhere else I thought he'd signed a pre-contract at Wigan but I think I'm wrong about that. I'd love us to get him. He's a striker mainly, but can drop deep and link up with the midfield. Could play on the right but I wouldn't advise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatWill Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've seen Fleetwood a few times as well including the FA Cup game v Rotherham when he scored twice. He's a cool finisher and does have good pace, not sure if it would stand out at C'ship level mind. If the fee really is £25k and his wages low then could be worth it, although I wouldn't be too gutted if we missed out. My feeling is he needs to ply his trade in League One first.

Could well have been. I know they were up here a few times watching Steven Naismith, Ivan Sproule and Michael Pospisil among others. Could well have been looking at McCormack.
