Winds me up when people say we don’t need to sign younger players as the kids are coming through. They’re not, he’s never going to play them and it’s highly likely he doesn’t rate them either.Quote:

If I was King I would just ask to go on a transfer as it's clear with Bulut here he's not getting in the side. He had two good loans last season in league one and in the Scottish league where both teams praised him highly. What is going out on loan again really going to benefit him?
The thought process is clearly he's not going to get a game here so ship him out.
Bulut has said for weeks he wants more midfielders whilst he sends all our young talent out on loan. Let's get more free old has-never beens into the squad, just what we need.
he was on loan on league 2, and then a lower end SPL team. a good league one loan would be a good opportunity, especially as we have a lot of players.Quote:

See people banging on about how we're using a "blend of youth and experience" every time we're linked with another old player. We're not! We must have had the oldest team in the league on SaturdayQuote:

If Wintle leaves (?) and maybe Rinomhota (?) then King should be there competing with Siopis for the anchor DM role.
he went to the SPL at the end of January, and played 10 games in the regular season before the split to the relegation league and then a relegation playoff. Played Celtic once and Rangers twiceQuote:

Whether he rates King or not I don’t know but Bulut probably doesn’t think that he is a player at the moment who can contribute to his aims and also, I would guess , that the backing Bulut is getting requires us to offload as much wages as possible. More loans out to come I suspect.
Always suspected this was the case. Probably thinks it's more likely 'established' players can bring him the instant success he needs, though apart from Bulut, Dalman and football 'experts' who didn't have to watch City in and out last season, ie the fans, he's yet to convince. I just hope he doesn't jettison any decent youngsters in pursuit of his own personal ambitions..Quote:

My mistake - I forgot the Morcambe loan came in the first half of last season. I still think he should be kept and used this season.Quote:

Eli King signs for Stevenage on loan.

League One it is then.
Andy Rinomhota to stay. 'A fighter' according to Bulut and it seems a versatile squad player. He played right back in pre-season?
