Always Believesham Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 With all the talk about how we need to bring in 2 possibly 3 players to add to the squad, and Millen making no secret of the fact our squad is a bit large. What are the more reliable rumours about players leaving? and where do you think Millen is looking to trim players? Personnally I can see one of Nyatanga or Stewart being pushed away. That's if we're successful bringing in a LB & Fontaine and Carey come back to fitness alright - After recent performances Stewart seems to have settled down It may be wishful thinking but as a proffessional Hunt must surely be looking for a move, now 3rd in the Pecking order of RB's Also how likely is it that Gavin will be off on a Permanent?

Monkeh Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Players need to go millen wants to bring in a Left back a creative midfielder and possibly a striker I still think, Haynes Akindee Ball Edwards Clarkson Sproule Williams G Hunt Lennox Jackson Will all be moved on ether on loan or perm to make room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM seems to like Clarkson too; although he won't be starting lineup, especially when Maynard is back, always useful to have a few strikers in the squad case of injuries.

Monkeh Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I put in Haynes as he looks dis interested unless he plays upfront and his att stinks at times, He is a headless chicken like sproule but with out the effort Ivan puts in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Haynes Off Akindee On loan Ball Off Edwards On loan Clarkson Will stay Sproule Off Williams G Off Hunt PLEASE GO!! Lennox Off Jackson On Loan BWP would be decent (both flanks and up front - flamboyant), a left back and a creative, attacking midfielder in. Maybe Buszaky?! And if we can get Puncheon that would be nice, then let Rose go. I don't mind Rose, but Puncheon would improve our squad. Wouldn't also be surprised if little LJ went, even though I think he's doing okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernie from barrow gurney Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 KM can't bring anyone in without moving a few out. But so far he has had no interest in any of our potential loanees From EP this week: http://goo.gl/Zrnop ------------Millen has been told by City chairman Steve Lansdown he must trim his 36-man squad before he can recruit and the Londoner is prepared to listen to bids or consider loan deals for a number of players. But given the lack of money available to many domestic clubs, the task of farming out those individuals who are surplus to requirements is proving more difficult than in recent years. Winger Ivan Sproule, right-back Nicky Hunt, midfielder Gavin Williams and striker John Akinde are understood to be available, but City have yet to receive an offer for any one of them. ---------------- This could yet be the window with the lowest ever number of moves. Most clubs are either skint, or too afraid to spend anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfan Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 We do need a left back and we do need a quality player like Paul Hartley. That one is a must beyond everything else in my opinion Players not needed now Hunt, Clarkson, Williams, Edwards, Ball, Lennox, Hoban, Keohane - Why have we got this last 5? They never figure in any plans Players to release at the end of the season James Wilson (if not fully recovered because he is ALWAYS injured) Johnson Sproule Jackson (if not given a go. Has looked quite lively when I have seen him) Nyatanga or Mcallister if we sign a decent left back There's 13 players and with the exception of Johnson, I don't think anyone can say that any of the others have made any kind of contribution, or will do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'd keep Johnson he is decent enough when he plays and never lets us down when he comes off the bench, we do have 4 out of contract in the summer it might pay to pay up the rest of their contracts, Lansdown said we had to move players on true but if the right player came along for the right price we all know he'd fund it he'd always open his cheque book if needed, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I put in Haynes as he looks dis interested unless he plays upfront and his att stinks at times, He is a headless chicken like sproule but with out the effort Ivan puts in I think this is grossly unfair. I've seen no evidence of Haynes having a bad attitude, nor of him being a headless chicken. Possibly his best performance for the club was on the right wing against West Brom last season, and I certainly don't remember him being disinterested then. He has not had a good season, having had a bad start, but I've seen no evidence of any attitude problems. I also thinks its a shame that people are dissing Nyatanga who has also had to struggle for fitness this season, but is presently doing a good job at left back. People forget that he is very close in age to both Christian Ribeiro and James Wilson, both of whom are still regarded as promising youngsters...

Most clubs are either skint, or too afraid to spend anything. I thought Sproule back to Hibs was regarded as a done deal? I'd also be suprised if we can offload Hunt and Williams; both must be on wages that they can't hope to get anywhere else. I think this could be a slow, frustrating window if their departures dictate who we can bring in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 he can't move to hibs until the end of the season chip, Scottish clubs can't register players who have played for more then two clubs in a calander season, Sproule has played for us and yeovil therefore can't play for hibs until next season, Fair point on Haynes Cje I disagree tho, Its how I view the player and not everyone sees a player in the same way, I didn't rate Carle when he played for us and everyone thought he was the best midfielder outside the prem, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hunt, Clarkson, Williams, Edwards, Ball, Lennox, Hoban, Keohane - Why have we got this last 5? They never figure in any plans woooo hold on. VERY VERY HARSH comment on the final 5, who I presume you've never seen play? all 5 are youngsters for the future and were never likely to play many games this season. Joe Edwards especially has a GREAT future ahead of him, rave reviews at Bath City and definately one for the future and is ahead of Nicky Hunt in the pecking order at Right Back. Hoban and Keohane are both impressing at Clevedon, which was too be expected and are expected to be at Conference clubs by the end of the month. All 3 are likely to be here next season Ball and Lennox - I honestly don't know too much about, so can't judge. As for who to get shot of. Hunt Stewart Clarkson G Williams Sproule Akinde if we can get those 6 out the door, the squad really won't be much weaker and the wage bill will be ALOT lighter.

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Don't ask me why but I wonder, I wonder given the debts etc could Maynard be off? This may sound fanciful but we seem to lose millions each year, I thought he was due back not so long ago so at one point the rather cynical and possibly misguided thought crossed my mind that he was being held back to be sold in January to risk no more injury. Hopefully I have just had a gut feeling that is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
