Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

I think most clubs have signed a few players that failed to live up to expectations since at least the 1900’s.

Indeed. And City have made loads of those in recent years.

Thanks for your input. Valuable as always.

True mistakes get made, know he is here and more established and knows the league and what we need there will be fewer of them, he has made some very good signings.


Diedhou was probably way down the pecking order but we couldn't get much in January and Moore was out of our League.

I would imagine Bulut and his team will know a lot more than a few football fans with a wifi connection to minimal information from Google, on whether the player will fit in with how he wants to play in the coming season.

Fingers crossed he's right, but as with most transfers from overseas that none of us know, we'll just have to wait and see.

We signed 15ish players under Bulut last season and not one of them would get into our 17/18 team.

Ramsey wouldn't?

Anytime captain obvious.

Re: The Transfer Window Rumours thread

I want Stansfield.

Stansfield seems like a good player, but was in a hot streak of finishing last season ( i.e. he scored significantly over his xG , and it's usually expected that can't be sustained over a longer period)
also looking at his stats he does very well with things like pressing from the front and carrying the ball forward, but there isn't much evidence that he can be an effective aerial presence.
of course you'd have to look into that deeper to see if it's just something that isn't in his game, or more a reflection of how the team were looking to use him.

I know you’re wired differently and despise the current board over an association football top, but perhaps be a Incy wincy a bit more positive

Robertson not City’s number one choice midfielder?

is there any indication whether Robertson would be a permanent move or a loan?

Permanent I believe.

Good of a reporter to speak for the club and potentially feck up a transfer.

Think the journalist concerned is something of a Dalman mouthpiece.

But 'think' is the operative word there. Ask ourself why would Dalman deliberately brief to potentially sabotage a signing? It's surreal.
