City Sign Levi Sutton

We did get Vaughan Doyle and Donaldson here and I bet they were not on a pittance

 

2 of them didn't want to be here and the other is stealing a wage

 

That was last season, this season is different, Wyke ain't gonna come back for a grand a week.

 

I don’t know who started that rumour there is zero chance of Wyke coming back. In any case if Vaughan gets his head right I think he would score more than Wyke. I still think it’s a good job that when the cap comes in our contracted players are discounted because they would take us over the limit alone

 

Don't think Vaughan will be leaving this window, its a buyers market at the moment. Vaughan left because of tactics and now that problem solved itself. He must know stuarts not for boring long ball football. If billy clarke does come in, i expect he will drop into a playmaker role.

 

I think finance wise they'd be happy if someone came in for Vaughan but as you say his salary won't count against any possible cap.

 

Watt didn't play against us at Carlisle. I know it was a forgettable performance by Bowyer's squad that day !

 

Watt didn't play against us, he signed in the January transfer window.

 

One of many. A waste of a boxing day.

 

I know , another poster pointed it out earlier , must have been the cold and old age that adalled my memory , turns out the player i thought was Watt ( No 7 ) was a loanee from Sheff utd .

 

I only knew because i had a look, i was at the boxing day game and not o0ne player stood out as being half decent. Fortunately Watt wasn't one of them.

 

Who’s stealing a wage?

 

Ha ha, Wyke returning is the most far fetched thing I’ve read on here for a looooong time.

 

But the fact remains...We signed them

 

Exactly we destroy strikers

 

I'll let you decide

 

Interview with Levi in today's T&A.

He says that McCall got the best out of him, and interestingly, McCall reverted him back to his preferred midfield role after Graham Alexander had switched him to right back to cover injuries.

So, although he can play both positions, perhaps It is midfield that MCCall will use him more for.

I was thinking that he had been brought in to be first choice right back, maybe we are still in the market for a right back then?

 

Have you seen Sutton play?.

Scunthorpe were negotiating a 2 year contract with him prior to Covid. Scunthorpe can no longer afford to keep him, that's a bit different to them not wanting him, or been good enough for them.

Its madness on their part that Bolton have offered a 3 year contract to Doyle. Doyle had a wonderful purple patch between August and January for Swindon, don't think he scored after they signed him permanently though. Did nothing of note for 2 or 3 seasons before we signed him. Massive gamble for a club who have had recent well documented financial woes

 

Fordy money does"nt always buy success as we've proved over the years. The best sides we have had have been young players who haven't made it at the clubs they've been at and had a point to prove. This lad might play his socks off for McCall and be a great signing ,nobody knows until the season starts ,and I would definitely prefer a young hungry youngster giving 100% than an overpaid toss pot like Akpan.
