redsontour Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Am I just being slightly neurotic or does anyone else think their is something slightly suspicious about us bringing in a goalkeeper, on loan, to sit on the bench if one of our two keepers gets injured? And a 19 year old at that?Surely we have an academy keeper to cover that? Or we could get one on loan if one does get injured?Perhaps the departure of the mighty Brazilian, for cash, on Jan 1st?

City_pete1 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Sean Thomas from QPR...IF true, maybe Weale is being sent out on loan, has he just come back from a long inury and does not look to get in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 When did all this happen?!? GJ mentioned it on the post match interview on Radio Brizzle yesterday... been training with us all week apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City_pete1 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 GJ mentioned it on the post match interview on Radio Brizzle yesterday... been training with us all week apparently.I suppose we need 3 keepers. Maybe he is just getting him so we are prepared if we have injury crisis. I hope so anyway, I would notl ike Basso to leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyRed Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yes, I can't get my head around this one.Why bring in Weale in the summer, who was crocked (but apparently the best thing since sliced bread), pay him to warm the bench for six months while recuperating and regaining fitness, then suddenly decide that we need to bring in a young loan 'keeper?!

cheshire_red Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 From reports I've had Ballard, the 'Academy'/ reserve keeper whilst Weale was crocked is just too small to play first team football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 From reports I've had Ballard, the 'Academy'/ reserve keeper whilst Weale was crocked is just too small to play first team football.Surely Lee Johnson should be gone then as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 perhaps we have had a decent offer for Basso and the club are grabbing the money for him while they can?out of contract end of the season isn't he? he has said he wants to play at a higher level so perhaps if we got a 100k+ offer then they will grab it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally makes just one or two minor mistakes a game, rather than 4 or 5 major ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topbuzz Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 If he has made errors then he's saved our asses many many more times I just wish Johnson would get these lads signed upto new contracts and now Carey,Basso,Murray(with a big pay cut) and Scotty Brown should be signed up as soon as possible!!

EIEIEIO Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I've always thought GJ has his 'favourites'... and I reckon Weale is one of them. I think Basso - no matter how good he's been - is likely to have to relinquish his place to 'Gary's boy' in the not-too-distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EIEIEIO Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I'm not sure it is 'utter tosh'!Basso came in because Phillips was haveing a mare.GJ brings just about anyone in to replace someone he doesn't rate - why else would Baz have got a shirt?It just turned out that Basso developed into a much better GK than even GJ could have predicted!

Admin phantom Posted December 31, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 It is on official site, was on there Saturday night http://www.bcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/...~948847,00.htmllooks toward bottom of report even a photo of him.It was also confirmed in the post match interview that Gary did for City world.Personally I don't think there is too much in it, remember a year ago we signed Nathan Abbey as Johnson said he likes to have three keepers in the final run in to a season - no great mystery there.Two points I would raise though:1 Why wait until January to bring in a third keeper ?,2 Why would this kid want to go from third choice at QPR to third choice with us ?.

Lordofthebling Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 GJ proved last season that he likes to have three keepers "just in case"...However, I would not like to see GJ send Weale out on loan and for our backup to be a young un from QPR. Cant see that happening myself. He will just have to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 If Weale was always going to be the number 1 keeper when signed? why didn't he get the number 1 shirt at the start of the season?personally though I think Weale will take over at some point, basically I just think he is a better keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
