January 26 transfer rumours

Announced by City as an attacking midfielder so its more likely he is brought in to compete with Bobby and Sarc. Creativity also cited. Sounds like a completely different player to Metcalfe.

 

I'm with you on that but it would be a forward thinking move. And Halliday would be moving on from a position of strength

 

He's also in a very good side at that level. I'm not saying the lad won't make it, I hope he does, but I've heard this sort of hype train before.

 

He played from the bench the first half of the season. York have Ollie Pearce up front (22 in 25) too so he's had to wait his turn.

Anyway i'll shut up about him. He's not coming here unfortunately, but we will see where he ends up.

 

I do think you're probably right about the other Newcastle lad, and the club might be teasing that with the 2 shirts behind White in the signing announcement pic.

 

Similar to Orient but Wellens said "he can play anywhere across the middle three". Didn't say further forward and he seems a passer rather than a finisher from the YouTube usual clips.

 

I seem to remember GA really wanted Jack Hunt in the summer. Had him on trial for months. Clearly wanted another in at RWB so maybe he has got his wish.

GA determined to exterminate that north east clique!

 

After they announced Oduor as a left wing back, I've tended to ignore what the admin at City says! With Sibley and White, we have enough for the CM and AM roles? Unless a few leave like Leigh, Lapslie, Powell? Then we might want another but they look pretty stacked areas to me.

 

I suppose it does show that he's prepared to keep working with a squad and take his opportunities when he gets them. If, as you say, he has top end L1 ability, it might already be too late for us. Taking him up to the Championship next season (fingers crossed - no chickens being counted), might be an expensive gamble.

 

Didn’t they describe Byrne as a footballer?

Believe nobody.

 

Lapslie surely off. Leigh possibly hangs around until summer.

Id have said Sibley was the CM and White the AM but dont know much about either. Sounds like both interchangable though.

 

GA does love some versatility in his players.

 

Yes he does . One game highlights shows what he can do , it’s just the times I have seen him he’s been pretty anonymous, however he’s only a young lad and will bulk up . Remember Devanti , he reminds me of him a bit. Knocked all over by hairy defenders . Hey there time , but do we have time for an “ improver”?

 

He’s lucky lucky lucky lad by all accounts to be getting a move to a top 3 team from one slipping down the wrong way. I am going in the camp of little to no impact on this one. Trust fans views they don’t have an alternate motive other than wanting their team to win, where as managers, owners and DOF I do think their judgement is tainted by other factors.

I know we (me) got it wrong with Tilt but in the main we get it right we can spot a dud at this club and we as fans see it straight away in my opinion.

 

yep.. but quick feet and skill can compensate, vis-a-vis Metcalf

 

Absolutely, good shout.

 

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, as they say.

Our recruitment team can’t be signing him based on what he showed at Orient but they must have data and scout reports to give the interest some substance, maybe from his earlier loans?

 

If you are talking about White he was many fans choice as player of the season last year at MK

 

Class from City I think.

I reckon we were set to announce this yesterday, but rightly allowed Cooky the full attention he deserved.

 

Him and Wheatley if am honest. They must think all their Xmases have come at once a horrible battle at the bottom to an exciting one at the top both without really pulling trees and earning it.
