He's still out on the pitch giving it a bloody good go....bless him

 

And that's because James Hanson was a physical wreck when he had his long goalless run - a pale shadow of the player he had once been.
Guthrie had no such excuse.

 

Maybe not. But as our third highest scorer ever, History Maker, and hero of numerous famous wins, he had credit in the bank that Kurtis Guthrie doesn't have and never will. So most fair- minded City fans are prepared to overlook Hanson's late career decline and remember him as the powerhouse he was in his prime.

 

Great news, long may the broom sweep clean.

 

Every outgoing so far has been, at most, a day before their replacement is signed so hopefully a more established striker is imminent.

 

Fantastic news well done to all concerned.
I wish him well but I'm not sorry he's departed.
Far from been a fans favourite he won't be missed.

 

You have to wonder what's changed from the passivity of the last 18-24 months and the current proactive cancelling of contracts and quick and early transfer activity.

And no matter what reservations we have, the only plausible change is Sparks.

I imagine Rupp would have been just as willing to back us like this under Rhodes, but Rhodes and McCall were in it for the 'youngest and cheapest' - Sparks is taking more risks, and no doubt if he spends a bomb like Rahic did, his job will be on the line. But from a purely financial point of view, it's hard to deny that Rupp is in the game.

On balance, I would ask Rupp to leave and cut his losses; a buyer would not be impossible to find - but Rhodes is looking like a fool at the moment, he and Stuart got the blueprints all wrong, and Sparks now needs to find the balance between the idiotic Rahic and the overly frugal and failing Rhodes.

 

Will help City no-end if he continues his goalscoring form with them.
Zero in a year?
Keep it up lad!

 

It frees up space in the squad and on the wage bill. without restrictions we would have probably kept him

 

He'll get a hat trick on Saturday, nailed on!

We need to lift our striker's graveyard curse!

 

I honestly don't want to know but it's definitely an amarone with tonight's dinner.

 

Guthrie says he wants to be where
he's wanted! He obviously knew it
wasn't at City. Wonder if he knows
why we didn't want him ?

 

Guthrie is a classic example of the golden rule of never signing a player that a team in your division is happy to see go.

 

Covid aside, is it any coincidence that we're signing players who live - or a la Canavan - want to live locally? Guthrie never looked happy to be here. Can't be much fun living in a hotel room or flat away from your family and loved ones when you're not exactly earning Premier League wages. Wish him the best but glad he's gone. He gave us little.

 

I wish more people had our sense of humour Ulysses. Life would be less depressing

 

What I'm reading is that PV are glad to have signed Guthrie as they think he will work hard and give his all.

Hmmm...

More promisingly, they're expecting him to partner Mark Cullen up front.

You know what, I think that might work to some extent.

Let's face it, we bozo'd last January and signed two target man-type players (Novak & Guthrie) to add to our other target man-type player (Donaldson).

At least they seem to understand the basic fundamentals of balance and stylistics.

 

Betcha, by golly, wow.

 

All right you've got me. I'll bite. Are you seriously comparing Guthrie to Hanson?

 

He was ready for the knackers yard 18 month before we flogged him. That was the point of the debate time and time again but due to past achievements some decided to criticise him was somehow blasphemy and refused to believe what they were witnessing with their own eyes.

Some still refuse to believe it even though they've been proved wrong by history.

 

Seems he didn't mesh with his team mates as well.
