JasonM88 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Some rumours of the PNE Forum and twitter that he's on his way here for 500k. Don't know much about him, just thought I'd tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langy@pne Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 He's definitely on his way. You would be looking at 2-3 million if he didn't have just six months left on his contract. We had a fans forum a week or so ago and Simon Grayson said he was China bound 30-40k per week. He's Australian which counts as home grown in China and they have to have something like 6 or 7 home grown players in their starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Always rated him. Would be a great signing. Hopefully he could turn into our "Greg Cunningham." Oh how ironic it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefcok Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Can't see this happening personally, think he'll run his deal down until the summer then look at his options. As alluded to earlier in the thread he could earn life-changing money in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 A Preston fan I know has just contacted me and says she's seen the article, she really rates this player and doesn't want to see him go. I've assured her the Evil Post and especially Stockhausen are rarely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm not sure people have really got the grasp of these Twitter Transfer sites. All they are doing is spreading rumours....from any source they can. Some of course will be right, because the originally came from a reputable source, most won't because they come from your uncles mate who works with the tea ladies daughter who happened to hear the manager chatting to the chairman when she brought in the teatrolley with the custard creams on it. They're great for adding some fuel that there are things going on behind the scenes, but little more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefcok Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 General consensus at our end is that Bristol City are interested but it's just that at this stage. Have to say, whilst your club is a big one with good fans which I respect a lot, I don't see this as a big forward move in his career in all honesty, if it were to happen. What if you keep losing games under Johnson and continue sliding down the table? For now I think he's better off sticking with Simon Grayson.

I think most people would agree it's a sideways move, suspect we'd pay more, if that is his primary concern Not someone I've noticed before, is he any good? Can't imagine that centre half is our top priority for strengthening, so guessing LJ sees him as an upgrade on what we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However he still has some bad habits to kick out of his game. I see this has now made the Bristol Post. Does you local footy reporter actually have any sources or does he just make stories from twitter and forum rumours. I seem to recall hearing a rumour at our end that PNE and Bristol City wanted Angus Gunn on loan from Man City in the summer so I posted it on here and suddenly it was in the Bristol Post.

I think it's timing. We find them on the internet and discuss them for a day or two then the Post has an article on the rumour after that. It's like they let OTIB do the searching on Twitter and other forums and then wrote what they want after we're 20 posts in discussing the likelihood. Which I guess, why wouldn't you? Makes the job easier but I think we all crave a Bristol city insider that gets us little bits of info before we see it on social media. My take on it anyway.

The journos don't bother with OTIB ,they think of a name that might fit , say there 'may ' be interest , run an article on the said players career to date ,then the next day announce that Bristol City where never in for the player and that it was just media rumours .
