cristo Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 As you know Del has had a busy summer trying to recruit with mixed success, but there have been lots of enquiries and players offered to Del in positions he is interested in strengthening. Obviously City have signed Cunningham and he Was ALWAYS Dels first choice, Paul Robison from Bolton, Halford from Pompey and Naylor from Cardiff all had agents contact del, but Del always wanted Cunningham. Amougou wasnt really considered as a long term option from Del, Keogh has always been his first choice and these talks with Cov are still ongoing with Anthony Gerrard also being strongly considered as another option. Steven McManus talks hardly got going, City can't afford his wages and he is also considering a move abroad. Other players who city have enquirer about were Shackell (faced stiff competition and pricey), Hird, Morrison and considered, but decided against Alex Bruce.....amongst others. Boaz Myhill is Dels first choice goalkeeper, and we are waiting on it but face competition from Ipswich who have enquired since missing out on Hull new keeper, Another keeper City are considering is Tom Heaton, but without question Myhill is top of Dels tree. City also shown an interested in Pernis as a backup option, but chances are he will get snapped up. Del isnt focusing on thE CM position, not enquiring or has any serious interest in anyone else, those thinking Buzasky since he has been released but well out of City's range......Del is looking around for a RM with Swansea seriously considering a bid for Albert.....told that he has his eyes on Feeney from Millwall if that Albert Deal goes through, again there are others as well I dot know about. I know citys first choice was Leon Best but quickly became clear he was WELL out of our range, other players who Del has scouted towards then end of last season were McLeod from Barnet and Hume from Preston, Mcleon option wont happen but Hume is still an option. City enquired about Ross McCormack but out of our price range, linked with Palace but wouldn't be suprised if he went to Leicester or Forest....., but he is the "type" of striker Del is looking for....also considered Conor Salmon but not the type he is looking for. Plenty of agents forwarding details to City, including Clinton Morrison!! I know of about 50 players who have had details forwarded to City, and up to 20 odd that we have enquired in. Any questions just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a profit then even better - Feeney played well against us in both games last year and can cross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 All sounds interesting, mostly what we've guessed on here from info we've had except Leon Best being #1 option. considering pompey have said all players must be shed from the wage bill are we looking there, players like Erik Huseklepp, David Norris etc? know Halford was mentioned above.

As far as I'm aware Huskeleopp and Norris were never on our radar, the former I think is looking to head bak to Norway anyhow.....these 2 positions are areas Del hasnt looked to strengthen.

Warwickshire Red Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Football365(see newsnow) claim that City have been linked with McCormack and quote Warnock saying Leeds have had a number of offers for him.

I think he helped to give us a real shot in the arm when we needed it, but I have doubts about him long term based on what fans of some of his former clubs have said.

bristolcitysweden Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Way forward is not to sign rejects. We need to find coming players and got a scout employed to do just that.

chipdawg Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hmmm.... I'm afraid I'm a cynical man by nature and I'm choosing to disbelieve you. You may well have contacts and worked at city in and off, but if those contacts know who you are and see this, your income is likely to drop and those contacts will never tell you anything again A lot of what you've said is either common knowledge, could be easily deduced from things Del has said or could never be disproven. Some of it even flies in the face of what Del himself has said, i.e. That we're looking at Hume when Del said we're only going after players from top divisions. If we subsequently sell Albert and sign Feeney I will humbly apologise, but for now I shall remain dubious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you are coming from but where as previously I would take "beyond our price range" to mean exactly that, under McInnes I take it to mean "we don't think he's worth that" - much more optimistic about this management regime than I have been for a while. Also "beyond our price range" is the OPs words not city's - smells like agent speak to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
