ron10bc Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yeah agree, although I really like McCormack. He has a bit of swagger and nastiness which would be good. Agree McCormack is quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Agree McCormack is quality Sadly though I think he would be out of our price range, and even if he was available I imagine there would be a lot of clubs in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sadly though I think he would be out of our price range, and even if he was available I imagine there would be a lot of clubs in for him. Apparantley would be available for around 850k an his girlfriend is from Cardiff so maybe she'd like to move closer to home?

Clutching at straws I know That would be a steal at that price, and it's one I think we would be able to afford. I heard Leeds wanted around 2million for him!? That would be way out of our price range though! Let's hope she wants a move to Bristol then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I got a feeling that Leeds are holding out for there take over then just agree to his wages demands he was such a influential player for them last season Yeah massive for them. Scores all types of goals and has the pace and movement to stretch defences. Would honestly love to see him come here, even if I was furious with him for his antics at our place last season! After that I added him to my most hated players list however if he signs he will be removed and all will be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems about right considering he has 1 year left on his contract and doesn't look like signing a new 1 any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems about right considering he has 1 year left on his contract and doesn't look like signing a new 1 any time soon. Ah I see, didn't realise he only had a year to run! That is about right and would be well worth the money! Dare I say it, but last season he reminded me of a certain striker we had when he was on song! Do you think Le Fondre would be cheaper? Reading have just signed Pogrebnyak and may want to shift him off the wage bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Would rather have Le Fondre, can't see him getting much of a look in next year with the players Reading have signed. I don't see the point in having Le Fondre with Pitman at the club- very similar players IMO. Both good, but similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that I added him to my most hated players list however if he signs he will be removed and all will be forgotten. His goal at Doncaster was special, and yeah we need a few Nasty players in our side think him and Morris would be perfect for the job and I think if palace can be in the running why not us?

Reading have just signed Pogrebnyak and may want to shift him off the wage bill? Le Fondre would cost around 1m imo. I just don't see him getting a look in now though.. Church, Roberts, Pogrebnyak, Hunt.. i'd say Le Fondre would be 3rd choice, possibly 4th. He's such a good goalscorer though and Le Fondre and Stead would be immense.

chipdawg Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Idont think he's a free I'm 99% sure he was out of contract at the end of the season, but he might have signed a new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't see the point in having Le Fondre with Pitman at the club- very similar players IMO. Both good, but similar Le Fondre has alot more pace than Pitman. Pitman and Stead as a partnership doesn't frighten defenders imo, they aren't going to get stretched or make runs in behind like Le Fondre would.

Pitman and Stead as a partnership doesn't frighten defenders imo, they aren't going to get stretched or make runs in behind like Le Fondre would. I wouldn't say he has 'a lot' more pace than Brett, but I'll give you he's quicker. Just think they're both players who only really offer in the final 20 yards of a pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully yeah. As Brizzle Jordan mentioned above he only has a year left to run on his contract which I didn't realise so thats a bit more encouraging.

I just think Le Fondre has that other ability of running in behind where as Pitman doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will probably sign another striker as well so he will be 4th choice at best I reckon. Le Fondre and Stead would be class, but then so would McCormack and Stead!

Brizzle Jordan Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 From Wikipedia which has clearly been edited: At the end of the 2011/12 season, Leeds manager Neil Warnock revealed on 2 May that McCormack had been offered a new contract at Leeds United, but he had turned it down and is currently in talks with Bristol City F.C..

JamboBCFC Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Le Fondre has alot more pace than Pitman. Pitman and Stead as a partnership doesn't frighten defenders imo, they aren't going to get stretched or make runs in behind like Le Fondre would. They worked well as a partnership a couple of seasons back. Stead and Pitman both have very good link up play between them. Just need a midfield that will support them properly, Albert should be the player running in behind the full back and stretching them but instead of doing it he waits in front of the defender and tries to dribble past him.

I just think Le Fondre has that other ability of running in behind where as Pitman doesn't. I agree with you hes a great player but I'm not sure if he's the type of striker we will look for we need a forward that can get to stead a lot quicker as times last season he looked isolated on his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 As I understand it the players are not technically back in preseason training until Wednesday. Tomorrow they are in for testing ( possibly in two groups as Del mentioned when they came in mid break). It's also been mentioned that there will be an interview with Del on Wednesday to coincide with the start of preseason. I would imagine there will be an interview with Morris then aswell. Of course any new signing before then I would expect a CityPlayer interview. Whether they are all just reacting to one tweet to make themselves look good I don't know, but there seems to be a lot of people confident that Keogh will be joining. One account that seems definite is a self confessed parody account of Tony Docherty. No smoke with out fire or runaway bullshit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Jeez it's a rumour that has been squashed....why oh why bang on about some random player that we won't sign? Go watch the tennis That's it, single me out. I was in a conversation with Taylor10 about McCormack, Le Fondre and Jackson which started before the rumours were squashed. I know we won't sign Le Fondre, I know we won't sign Messi but I think he is very good and I would love him at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Richard Keogh is a very good player, of this there is no doubt. If it were my choice between him and our friend mr Bikey/Amogou I would choose the latter because he brings more power in our own and in opposition penalty areas. However I expect both to demand a high wage and with James Wilson Liam Fontaine in the running I wouldn't expect to see both, but hopefully one or the other. I haven't followed theforum as much as I might of this summer so if someone could give an update on the Cissee situation that would be good! As far as forwards go Pitman Stead and Taylor will all be pushing this season and can see us having a very decent forward line if the right people are brought in to supply the chances... Starting to get interesting now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
