Transfer Rumours 2019/20

@Dennis any idea?

 

Financial wizardry. Essentially created fake turnover

 

GB has said in todays T&A he has active lines of enquiry ongoing to bring in 2 more players but is waiting on other deals to go through.

1 CF and 1 CM do you think?

 

True. But to be frank I couldn’t care less what a player has done at previous clubs if they’ve had a fair crack at the whip at city, and Millar did. Not someone I personally want to set eyes on in claret and amber again, thankfully I don’t think I’ll have too.

 

But a manager usually based his opinion on what a player has done elswhere that's my point.
And Barnsley paid a decent fee for the lad so they must think he has ability, mybe it was him coming to the players grave yard that was Valley Parade and Bradford City generally last season.

 

Managers will also have to look at his record with us as well, which was poor to say the least. Barnsley also signed a young lad from us Mottley-Henry? Doesn’t automatically make him good because he’s been signed.

 

A left winger as we don’t have one

 

I don’t really agree with this, yes we were a basket case last season no argument there, however, if you have the skill and more importantly the mentality you can actually use it to develop. You only had to watch young Lewis last night to see how he had developed despite the environment.

 

Lewis was given an opportunity last season and grasped it with both hands. He was a shining example of how to conduct yourself properly in adversity and led by example. Shame some of the older more experienced players couldn't follow his lead.

 

Is there not a transition year - to allow relegated clubs to align to Div 2 fpp? As we have found out it is not always easy to offload players who will be on higher wages. It certainly puts the club at a disadvantage when your co owner has signed players who we are left with, are not able to perform and are on wages they do not deserve to be paid.

 

It’s catch 22. Some will say players like Miller were poor due to playing in a poor team, environment etc. I say our team was so poor due to players like Miller. That’s not me picking on him, he was one of 10 or so players who were just really poor, players I’d rather never see play for us again. Thankfully Doyle, Wright and Miller we don’t have to worry about seeing them again, god forbid we actually actively tried to sign one of the crap from last season.

Unfortunately we already have though in giving Anderson a new contract.

 

We could go on forever, not sure Barnsley paid a fee for Henry where as I say they have for Miller even after his poor spell with City with regards goal returns .
Very few if any would have believed McBurnie would have gone on and done as well as he has and given such a good return to the club with regards sell his sell on

 

Very true. I’ll have my final say by saying McBurnie was a young teenager (17) Miller is 4 years older than McBurnie was with us. Better to compare them at the same age so it’s fair all round.

 

So you do aree, I pointed out even though he had a demanding 12 months at Valley Parade Barnsley still fanied him and paid a transfer fee.

 

Anyways We signed Buckley yet?

 

He will be better for the experience of last season playing his first season in League football, Not sure Barnsley would let him go out to div 2 club but worth a punt given we have no one like him in the squad

 

I think the appropriate word is "comprehensive"

Thank you

 

For all the negatives both Miller and Doyle got in their time at ValeyParade my worry is at the moment if either Donaldson or Vaughan are out injured for any period of time we dont have cover.
Bowyer may have cover lined up but it seens reading the T&A the clubs who may release the players won't until they get a replacements in.....I believe that's a very sensible way of doing transfer business dont you ........Jim Bowen comes to mine " look what you could have won" or a bird in the hand etc.

 

Think he will go to Donny
