Meh I wouldn't think into it too much, rather him than Clingan or Keogh. The only thing i'm worried about is next season when our loans leave and we don't have a squad.
AT said "I have been looking at him for a considerable time and he was my number one choice as a recruit so I am delighted we have secured his services."
It's not naive to believe it if AT said so. He had absolutely no need to use that language otherwise. He could just as easily have said "We've wanted him for a long time", "He has been one of our top targets", etc. Nobody knows what happened behind the scenes - perhaps it was a McDonald character issue - so there's no need to be an apologist for AT.
Forgetting that ALF chose Reading?
All the best
he didnt though, we were in for him before reading had any interest. we stalled on the deal, remember thorn even stated that cody was his mumber 1 target all along, cluless
Thorn did say though that McDonald was his number one target.
Did Sisu force hime to say that?
Do we believe everything we read in the papers?
Nope, but how was he mis-quoted here?
AT did this, AT did that, AT sold this player, AT sold that player.........
AT is seriously constrained in all deals. He does not decide if we can afford anyone. All he can say is who he would like. Don't mean we can have them. How many people really think it is up to him on who we sell or extend contracts on?
Laughable how the Thorn out brigade jump on this and try to use it to bash him with.

Not trying to bash him, just why has his number 1 target hardly played and being touted for sale?

No, you're not allowed to question anything, Nick. Everytime anyone questions Thorn about anything he may have made a mistake with some people on here jump straight down your throat.
Yet, many of these same people questioning are among the first to come on here and praise Thorn when he gets it right.
Also if you criticise you are of course pro SISU that wretched organisation that tortured AT and forced him to say all those nice things about hopeless old Cody.
I always got the impress AT was saying what was expected of him, he could'nt come out and say "I got my second choice, Lets see how it goes"

No, but he could have said he was a player that we had been after. No need whatsoever to say he was his number one target unless he was mayber trying to appease the fans, told lies or indeed, he was his number 1 target. Why say something so profound? Absolutely no need to do that. Just say we are pleased to get him and he had been on our radar for some time.
I know the lad hasn't had be best of starts, but I honestly, I don't understand why city fans are so gleeful about trashing there own plays. :thinking about:
Thanks for reminding me. I keep forgetting it is all black and white and you have to be either for Thorn or against him. :facepalm:
There are NO inbetweens.
No, what's laughable (in a 'if you don't laugh you'll cry' manner) is the knee-jerk, unquestioning, aggressive support of AT at every opportunity.
There's big talk of McDonald being sold after only five months of him being here. Some fans, justifiably, raise questions about that in consideration of AT's comments about him being the 'no.1 target'.
Now...you could make a perfectly plausible case that CM is being sold because the club is starved of cash. If you want to put an anti-SISU spin on it you could even venture that the sale would be made against AT's wishes.
Unfortunately many have chosen the wrong issue on which to act as AT's apologists, namely his own damn words. Even then you could say that it was an unforeseen issue with CM, but instead you wish to pick a fight with 'the enemy' (reasonable fans asking reasonable questions).
Christ almighty, what's next? Does AT hold any responsibility whatsoever?
Sorry CM, but all I see is aggressive knee-jerk bashing of AT at every opportunity, by the same few.
