long way home said:
If George is a genuine target and signed it would be such a smart pick up. Its an position we need and is a player of the right age and at a point in his career when he needs to kick on. I like the names being mentioned and would be happy with George and Castledine that has also been mentioned from Chelsea.

Going to be an interesting Jan and by the end of it we may have plenty of pace and attacking options in the squad.

This is all the ‘source’ for this says, I wouldn’t read much into it.

Would be fantastic signing. Very similar to the Sunderland Le Fee statement signing of last year.

This is the type of deal that can be done when you’re top of the table with an eye on the Prem:

Stop calling our chairman Bling for a few days or ever. We had the conversations a few months ago and the majority agreed it was disrespectful and annoying.

I apologise to our King

Are you willing to have a charity bet Wright wont go in the window for £13m?

Thank you regarding our Doug.

Regarding charity bet….. always happy to donate to worthwhile charities but the Wright situation is out of my control.
I do believe he will leave for Turkey if an offer of 15 million euros comes in but City will not release him unless they have an adequate or better replacement. That’s the bit that’s questionable.

If DK pulls off signing Tyrique George for Lampard then Doug has the right to call every other chairman in this league to a meeting and slap his balls across their face to let them know he's the boss around here.

That would be an unreal signing!

I hope so, although I reckon we will squeeze £20m out of some side. In my opinion, an excellent striker who can hold the ball up and pass (and score of course - both with feet and head) would take this side to another level. We've been missing that for a long time. If we can get £20m for Wright I'd put that towards a really promising young striker.

Fair enough if you’d rather play in Turkey rather than having a crack at the PL.

Yup, but if current top flight clubs are seriously interested they’ll get him.

I personally can’t see it, but a structured deal ‘upon promotion to the Prem’ as per the Sunderland Le Fee deal is all I can see. Otherwise he will be well out of our reach financially imo.

That’s what I meant. Le Fee was an obligation if they got promoted wasn’t he?

The kind of deal that becomes slightly easier to do if you're pissing the league.

Yeah and I think he actually looks better in the Prem than he did the Champ. I think the physicality of the champ maybe didn’t suit him as much?

Still plays for the stinky mackems though so not getting too much credit from me.

“After everything I’ve done for you, will you grant me this one Xmas wish - Tyrique George on loan with an obligation to buy upon promotion to the Premier League…”

A consortium of American and Chinese isn't it headed by Todd Buelly, bit of a battle for complete control between them last I read?

Yes but Buehly remains the most senior link that we know Frank has for certain.
