WayOutWest Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 The daily express are quoating "The Sun" as the source. I remember hearing of this story a few backs. Maybe it's getting traction. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossedWe could really do with some good news down here, and this signing would truly make a lot of city fans very happy, myself included. But his wages don't seem realistic, and also being in the sun. But hopefully there is something in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Don't you just love waking up to news like this! Big build up until 1pm now where he is revealed to the world on Live92. Would love to see him here, brilliant player that I'd never thought in a million years we'd be able to sign. Won't believe it until he's holding a city shirt on the OS though.....

P'head Red Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 This has split my mind in two, whilst he's be a top player at this level, the wage demands quoted just don't make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChubStixx Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Can't see it myself. I could see a loan being a slight possibility though. He scored against Barcelona on a pre-season tour a couple of weeks ago and the winner against Sweden in the u21s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best players wouldn't be able to do what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketh2nd Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 BBC sports pages reporting it now, 2.5 million quoted. as in. On the gossip page or an actual report on it ? Something tells Me even if we are properly linked with this player , it could just be his agent trying to get other teams interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliKendall1 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dare I say, where would he fit in? Who's place would he take? Would it be freeman and smith in cm and lingaard at the tip of the midfield three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliKendall1 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 In The Yeovil Interveiw SC claims he only wants to bring in First 11 players, This would state that maybe Pack,Freeman or Smith would Lose there place and Make them Fight for that first team through Putting in Good Performances, A few that Fight For Starting spot Brings a Fighting Squad !

Topsham Red Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 If your lingards agent, you'd def tell the press if this deal was happening just in case it opened the door to a bigger club unaware he was available. What's the agent got to lose? Also you'd massively exaggerate the costs involved cause you want bigger teams to pay more and get a bigger cut of the deal. I think we probably have bid, whether we get him is another story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 For those asking where he would fit, when you bring in talent you play it. So I would imagine if it were to happen, someone would lose their spot. If it were me, I'd drop a striker and have Lingard and Freeman playing behind Kodjia. This would make our striker numbers look better but we'd still be short in the midfield. Anyway, I still doubt it and don't like that it's being thrown around as it makes it less likely(more likely someone to pay a bit more and take the chance on him). If it did happen though, just be happy it does and let Cotterill figure out how to use his best players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
