It doesn't tell me any more about him as a player but it's a bit of insight into what Man City think of him. So that gets a little green tick in my mind ✔️ ✅ like this one 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Genuinely think we are a couple of signings away from building a really strong team. We could buy 1.3333333* Assombalongas with that cash! 1 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This years gripe is why we using the loan market at all. You cant make it up sometimes on here. I think it's more about overusing the loan market than using it at all. I'm sure Forest fans are delighted with how it has worked out for them. However they now have a load of holes to fill in a squad, and every player they attempt to sign they will have to spend more on them, and give them larger contracts than they would have this time last season. When they are relegated at the end of this coming season they will be stuck with players on larger contracts than they'd ideally like who have spent a year getting beaten week in week out, and that will lead to it's own problems just as it did when we tried a similar thing a few years back - and this is when the plan works out. If the plan doesn't work out, you're still a Championship club and you have to find another half a dozen players just to stand still. It's also worth remembering that lots of clubs loaned players, including us, and didn't get promotion, leading to them needing to find replacements, which is precisely what we've been talking about on here for months now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TLF10 4,493 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 If they £1m short can we not just meet half way. They go up by 500k and we come down by 500k. I mean if we want £15m plus add ons I think we can all live with £14.5m plus add ons. These businessmen just need someone like beside them, telling them how to operate.

TLF10 4,493 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 @Lurker. Thanks for the info as always. When you say we are getting gayle does that mean your source has told you its done? Link to post Share on other sites

Nah he used to catch it a lot, certainly earlier in his career with us. It was one of the most notable things about him coming into the team when he joined us cos we immediately looked a bit more secure when the ball went into our own box. I think there was a shift in coaching, maybe brought in from the continent, that lead to goalkeepers punching the ball more in the belief that it was less risky than trying to catch it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I If they're £1m short then Levy can just dip his hand a bit deeper in his profit, I really don't see why we should be giving a discount to a top 6 team. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
