citywest30 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 really? cannot say I have ever claimed to be in the know, and certainly cant ever recall saying we were 'close to signing a name'. No wind up here my love. Look forward to the "I told you we were signing someone" comments.,...when we do. Which lets be fair, is pretty obvious. Im not asking people to name their "contacts".....but why come on here and say you know we are signing a player, then not say the players name. Pointless and attention seeking in my opinion. Agree. People need to give some substance to it otherwise it's pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Absolutely. This one could definitely swing either way though. Another striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 SC isn't stupid. If it's true that GC is on the verge of signing for Preston, we will 100% have people lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but when saying things like "I've been reliably informed" that is claiming you are ITK is it not?? Why would I say the players name? That would be dumb. I disagree it's pointless given our wafer thin squad, some may feel some reassurance. Attention seeking? Hell yeah!

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I have been reliably informed that we will make a signing next week- probably two. Source? Law of probability, logic and gut instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Rumours on the PNE forum that City have pulled the plug on the deal. Saw that too, would be a bit strange given that Cunningham has already flown (pic on Twitter of him in the airport, I'll try find it). I can only imagine we've pulled out if his replacement had pulled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 . As in Ronaldo or messi?,where have you heard this and surely you would have names that he has been setting his sights on which are far to high Why would I have names? I doubt that the person who said this to me would even know any names, but he would certainly know what he told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be a bit surprised, pleasantly surprised, if this was the case. Same, but he played 25 games in L2 last season, I just don't think he's come here to play under 21's football for 2/3 years. That would not be a good career move for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Has Greg left or not then guys? Find it very odd that we would look to sell unless we have another left back coming in, need two in every position so hopefully a signing or two next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law of probability, logic and gut instinct. This is the point I am trying to make. All thes people saying "I know we are signing someone"....they dont mention names, then when we do, people think these posters are "in the know" I have to agree, anybody can say "incoming next week", especially given not only the time of year but also the fact that it is well known the positions we need to cover and the size of our squad. Having said that it is also easy to make comments like "all is not well at AG" "SC is not happy", without naming a believable source, you can't have it all ways Andy.

citywest30 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Wonder if Garbutt was the replacement but cos he chose Fulham, we have pulled out. This is on the assumption that the rumours of him leaving were true and the rumours of us pulling out are true. Lots of assumptions and you know what they say...

ollywhyte Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Everton wouldn't have let Garbutt come here as he wouldn't have been a guaranteed starter with Bryan in the team. Unless Everton wanted to take Bryan as part of that deal? But why would we then let Cunningham go as well? Cryptic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Garbutt would have been a waste of cash due to costing a lot + not playing regular football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Yes. I think that would be a fair comparison. Very marmite. Haha well I don't expect confirmation but a few days ago I was wondering whether anyone had snapped up Zamora yet so that's my completely uninformed guess on the marmite name.
