Matty Stevens apparently leaving FGR for Northampton.

Surely this is the type of forward we should be courting. Not unproven kids with poor records in senior football.

 

Charlie McNeill, young Man United striker gone on loan to Newport. 600 youth goals at Man City, moves to United, 17 goals and 7 assists in 32 games for their youth side, made his first team debut against Sociedad last season. Tbf though, its not like we need goals, or have an obvious connection to either Man City or United that might enable such a deal.

 

Unproven kids, players reaching the geriatric stage and those recovering from long term injuries - welcome to Bradford City

 

Not being funny but how can you possibly know if they are better characters? Yann is a great team man, Wright was full of enthusiasm, Foulds is proud to be part of his home town club etc - its far too early to say if Hughes has replaced them with better.

 

Songo- Stubbs
Wright-Nevers
Sutton-Clayton
Foulds- Bola
Angol-Derbyshire
Young- Costelloe
Kelleher-Kelly
Are we any weaker. it could be the players we have brought in are better than the ones that have gone out.
There are a few question marks ,Costelloe and Bola for me, but they need time to settle in and 1 game is not enough to judge anyone on.

 

That's what journalists do, it's part of their job.

 

It's odd because it's a men's game.

What's wrong with man of the match in the men's game, woman of the match in the women's game and player of the match in any mixed children's games?

It's accurate, it's traditional and it's inoffensive. Why it would even be changed in the first place is beyond any reasonable thought process.

 

Recruitment person

 

Aye, some on here would want him dropped after a particularly lengthy lean spell like that.

 

Hes never been a spectacular player? His position is a holding/defensive midfielder. Solid is exactly what we should expect.

 

I'd go with Angol, Young, Gilliead & Pierara out. Pay off Threlkeld. Make sure we can keep Banks, Critchlow & Wright. Sign another CH, a ball winning midfield player and one more striker. To progress we have to play two upfront at home.

 

This season mate no let's give him two seasons, the club have backed Sparkie in the closed season transfer window and it doesn't look like Kelly will be alone after Sparkie said : “We are pleased to be welcoming Ciarán to the club, as the first of our January signings.

 

about time we have some consistency. to me clubs in the best place in terms of back room staff now, than ever before really.

Odd to think he is 45 days away from being our 3rd longest serving manger in 11 years....

players of good quality are coming in really early too. just need 3 or 4 quality players and we are good, striker and CM are priority for me!

 

I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading with regards Sparkie, yes our home form hasn't been great but were still in a play off position after two heavy defeats, were 7th in the league a win on Saturday we could be in 5th.

 

Jesus NM give the guy a break. He only played 8 games in India. If anything, he’ll be fit and raring to go. I’m all for judging a player after they’ve had a few games for us

This signing pisses all over some recent ones we’ve had, Theo Robinson, Mark McNulty, Tom Elliott etc etc

 

We can leave him unregistered.

We won't see him in a City shirt again I'd bet. Mutual termination incoming.

 

Quality player Tyreik, and a great move for him.

I had no idea Plymouth were so far clear at the top of League One.

It's a blow for us, but sometimes you have to accept these things. Good luck to the lad, was a cut above.

 

Huddersfield signing Anthony Knockaert from the looks of things until the end of the season, another step towards Mahoney leaving Hudds on loan.

We are kind of OK in the wide spots numbers wise, if Young doesn't leave now Wright has gone, we have enough names to play the 2 wide roles. I think we should be looking at the central 3 rather than another wide attacker as a priority. Smallwood, Sutton, Gilly are the 3 now, one injury or ban and the only player who we have to fill in there is Songo'o. Osadebe will need a lot of time to get match fit again once he is cleared, we really need to get someone who can contest for the 3 slots, over a another wide man at the minute.

 

It's one thing having the numbers, and another having the right quality and fit
