Doesn't mean that they will leave though.

Sounds more like Hopkin needs to reduce the wage bill before he can buy which is worrying.

So Rupp isn't putting his hands in his pocket then?

 

It's football

Sorry but some of them players are better than what's currently on our bench.

 

Yes, I am happy that they will be leaving but others need to leave too.

I want to see improvements on the likes of Chicksen not having to worry about fridge players.

It all sounds an excuse not to buy AGAIN!

 

Well, it's different circumstances this transfer window and we've been told Hopkin is being backed and he's brought in his own support staff and now seems to be clearing out players he doesn't want so we'll just have to see who he can bring in I guess.

 

It is absolutely right that we are honest with players, and it sends a clear an unequivocal message. Of course they are still under contract so won’t be going anywhere until they can find another club, so I am not expecting them to leave immediately, but they have their careers to think about and need to be playing.

We may well be close to the FP rule, which is why we need to trim the squad before bringing in anyone. However, I am more interested in the loan players and how we keep those players.

 

That's what I mean mate, we've been told he will be backed and then we got told transfers will be agreed before the 1st.

No transfers done it sounds like we need rid of players before we can buy. So he isn't been backed at all.

 

Not if they don't feature in his plans. None of them have played since Nov, tells it's own story.

 

If what I've heard abbot Rileys wages is true I very much doubt Halifax will be taking him unless we're still paying a huge chunk of it which would kind of defeat the purpose.

Indeed, if it is true he could be very difficult to ship out anywhere in league one and below without subsidising the club taking him.

 

One thing I do hope this proves to Mr.Rupp is that his money can be used more wisely.

I do wonder what a different experience he must be having after Rahic.

 

I hope you had a massive word with your Mrs about buying soft furnishings with RED roses on them? Tut Tut

 

Awww heart melting

 

Yep, we were under the impression that a couple of players would be brought in before the barnsley game, so not long to find out if plans have changed.

What !

 

If this works this is Pixie demolishing my little 'City' bears!

 

I don't understand what's happened with Riley. He came to us very highly rated, with lots of MUFC expecting him to do really well.

What went wrong? Edin factor?











These are just a few... I could go on. We haven't seen any of this.

 

In the rough and tumble of league 1 what position is he most suited to? Hard to judge him fairly during the Edin Rahic shit show but the games he did play in he looked miles away from first team football.
U23 football gives little idea of how good a player is going to be at first team level. Even for accounting how bad we actually were in the first half of the season i would have expected to see some sort of evidence that made him stand out as potential prospect at league one level and i didn’t see that.
Hope the lad proves City wrong but its going to take a big turnaround.
