CityCity Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Realistically what sort of players are we even looking at? It can only really be younger players from lower leagues. Darren Gibson & Aiden Mcgeedy both looking for loans away from Everton but we would be about 20th choice at the moment for either of them. A, Any decent players would like to stay in the Prem Or top end of championship B, Can we pay any of these players wages even if they agreed to come here.

Chappers Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 From what I have heard and seen, Windass would have been an excellent signing, regardless of current Club. And is top half of League Two any worse than the French third tier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTBLUE Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 One thing is sure,if ,and that's a big if,we suddenly sign 3 or 4 players,,a lot of people on here are going to rather a lot of egg on their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Bent - not that I think it would happen, but you wouldn't want to loan him to a promotion rival would you.....you might loan him to a side where his influence and goals might take points off of your rivals.

I doubt they'd give it two seconds of thought . The only thing that counts in football these days is spondoolies so if they could get a good loan fee and reduce their wage bill he'd be pulling on a City shirt before you could say ' Brian Clough ' .

Lrrr Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'd expect so too, would depend how Bent would feel from a team at the top of the table to one in the drop zone. I still think going after Bradshaw would be a good shot, the lad has a 1 in 2 rate for Walsall, age and potential on his side. Apparently the stint he had at Loughborough over the summer has helped with his hamstring, he's lighter and faster as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He once answered "who's the best trainer at City?" with Steve Davies, for instance. You can't take his tweets at face value. http://mobile.pnefc.net//news/article/cunningham-completes-permanent-move-2574939.aspx "Greg Cunningham has become Preston North End’s fourth summer signing, agreeing a two-year deal, moving from Bristol City to Deepdale for an undisclosed fee" What reason would Preston have to lie to their own supporters, exactly?

bcfctim Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 But it very much implies a fee of some description. If it was on a free, why would they not say that, rather than lead their supporters into believing they paid more than they did? Plus Greg had a year left on his deal here, so contractually speaking he couldn't leave on a free, unless we chose to pay it up ourselves. There's just so many reasons that isn't true, but it didn't stop a lot of City fans going into a meltdown at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex#40 Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Darren Bent is exactly the sort of player, with exactly the type of experience, we could do with at present. We've created a lot of chances lately that a poacher would have scored. Someone like Bent, even on a high price loan deal, could save us just by having the nack of being in the right place at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Was chatting to a Derby ST holder in work today. Funnily enough we didn't talk about Bent, but we were talking about Simon Dawkins, ex-Spurs player who can't get in their team. From memory he was a useful youngster with potential, now 28. Thought he might be someone on our radar previously. Go and look him up on Wikipedia and he's signed TODAY for San Jose Earthquakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 How about Jay Simpson? Played at this level before (I think) and banging them in for Leyton Orient. I wouldn't have thought his wages would be beyond us and still only 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
