Derk94 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I read earlier that Preston had completed the signing of Danny Welbeck, the Man Utd reserve. I was thinking, is it just wages that are stopping us from signing prem reserves?? It would be great to see someone like Obertan down at AG for a year.

Ryan 7 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Its probably got more to do with Darren Fergie asking for his dads help because he can't yet stand on his own two feet in the Championship. And who knows, maybe we were after him, but Sir Alex advised him to go to PNE so we instead went ahead with the Agyemang deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awilko Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Its been mentioned before on here that your never going to attract the big players on loan here, the decent young players at say London clubs are more likely to stay at clubs around that area, so there still in close contact with there parent clubs, same with this Fergie junior asked daddy for a favour which he obliged with so fair play, its all about contacts and being in the right area which were unfortunatley not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I am sure that were we just outside London, Manchester, Birmingham etc, we would get as many youngsters as Watford, QPR and now Preston seem to be getting from these clubs.

BITW Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Welbeck would have never signed for another CCC and certainly not for us. It's purely because DF is SAF's son. Nothing wrong with it IMO, if you have the resources use them etc.. Although I bet daddy's paying 100% of Welbecks wages aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezOfCity Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 We can complain about not getting welbeck all we want but imo hes not too different from our own Haynes. The main difference between the two is Haynes has got where he is through actually playing regularly in the championship, and Welbeck through limited first team appearences but the very best coaching available. Bearing that in mind, over the course of 1 season i think you'd get much more value from Haynes than you would welbeck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wellbeck is a lot better than Haynes. He may not be Man Utd quality but he will make it at a mid-table Prem side in the future. Great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED4LIFE Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I also think that Man U have an 'unofficial' agreement with Preston where Man U's young uns will go there on loan like Beckham, Gibson and others have done in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm afraid Welbeck is of a completely different class to Haynes Maybe in a couple of years but did you watch Man U v Leeds? Welbeck was dreadful, as was Obertan. Just because he's a highly rated Man U youngster doesn't mean he's going to make it at Premier League level.

Andrew_V1 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Seriously? What the **** is so good about Danny Welbeck...seems to be quick with pretty much naff all composure or positional sense, I'd MUCH rather have our own nicky up front than this overrated "starlet" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 And this post is needed because Preston are much better than us at the moment right? Some people need to get real and understand that we're doing far better than teams like Preston yet post after post on here says how such and such a team is doing better than us at something. We are Bristol City.. and we are doing what Bristol City can do and at the moment we're doing a pretty good job of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Bristol City.. and we are doing what Bristol City can do and at the moment we're doing a pretty good job of it Well said. We all know GJ doesn't want to sign kids on loan - he is looking for experienced, battle-hardened Championship players to give us an extra bit of attacking power (Agymang/Dele) or the width/craft that can open defences up (JCR). The two signings he has made directly address two problems we have had in the first half of the season as reported on here endlessly - lack of width on the left (JCR will play left wing) and lack of physical presence up front in the absence of Dele. You could argue that Akinde would be suitable for this role but he is still very young and you don't send a boy to do a man's job if your own job depends on it. I would like to see a replacement for McCombe coming in in the next few days if big Jamie is no longer going to feature in the first XI even against big physical teams like Preston, but other than that I am very happy with our signings in this window.

bangers Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 With respect Danny Welback is in a completely different league to Haynes. Obviously we can't attract players like him, the only reason Preston have is due to 1)Family ties 2)Long term connections between the clubs.

tezOfCity Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 A laughable statement. Not at all, over the course of a season it boyles down to consistency, which is a bi-product of experience. At a very similar age to welbeck, Haynes is already an experienced championship player.
