Transfer rumours !

I soooooo rate Mario Kempes. God if we had Mario Kempes in our team.
Even though he's 60 and slightly dumpy looking, I still think he could do a job for us.
Even with his zimmer frame he's probably still better than Van Persie. Sign him up Dougie. I guarantee he knows where the net is.

He should be in the team just for his hair alone:

Set to sign Tuesday.
Would have signed Monday but it's pension day.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Looking good!

I'm excited now.


I've just started following him on Twitter as a result of this news.


His girlfriend's hot:

Birmingham City are looking to recruit Rob Hall on a loan deal.

Hope he does go on loan, he's not ready to play for a club like us.

Well if it guarantees him first team football I see the sense, but I was hoping he'd make a breakthrough in our team this season. Dougie seems to have decided against playing wingers at the moment though.

Loanee striker will be confirmed today or tomorrow morning latest, so long as his parent club give the go ahead.

Think his attitude is holding him back. Too much like Sordell

This has got to stop- every decent youngster we have is being shipped out to other clubs. Where's the future in this?

The "decent" youngsters progress to the first team which is why Threlkeld has been retained. The "not decent enough" youngsters are shipped out on loan to improve. The "never will be decent" are released.
If a player has been sent out it's because he isn't good enough to play yet but too good to get sacked. Seems a very sensible approach to me.

"So long as his parent club give the go ahead" ?????

Surely that would have been sorted out before they even discussed it with the player?

 What a young kid that just wants to play football? Yeah real bad attitude Boggers! And your evidence for this?

Not necessarily, loans don't require much negotiation with the player his wage isn't changing. It's jugs down to the clubs to agree how to divide their wages. Sounds as if it's 90% there but the prem club is waiting to hear on a transfer or injury situation themselves.

You're forgetting when he got pulled up for tweeting like a cunt. If he had the right attitude he'd be in the team, you cant blame dougie for this one I'm afraid

Hall has been rubbish. Absolute bobbins. I can't remember him ever beating a man, never mind having a good game.

I'd be happy if Dougie shipped him out, it means he can't play tomorrow.

Worth noting that it's Birmingham who have triggered this story not us. Nothing to suggest we'd actually let him go. He's shown he's got the raw talent in terms of pace, dribbling and crossing but I think he needs a run of games to develop his game a bit physically and his decision making.

Definitely a good prospect for us, and I don't think any serious fan would want to see a kid with his potential move on permanently.

we need to keep him here and give him a few games, i know he's hardly set the world on fire yet but he has shown flashes of what he can do and would rather see him develop here than at Birmingham.

Still no word as to the identity of the loan strikers Dougie is chasing so I'll put it out there....
I know he's a "second striker" who plays a similar role to Mason, but I'd like to see young Iheanacho come to us - ideally partnering Mason and dropping the "big target man" idea. Could work a treat in this division.

He's young and "very good". Has the potential to score 20+ But not currently ready to play with the big boys

Can you guess who it is yet?

Is Sordell coming back on loan?  

Pellegrini just announced that 4 players including Scott Sinclair and John Guidetti are heading out of City. Guidetti could be just the ticket for us.
