Time for another 'educated guess' after the fact.

As for me, I'm going for Matta this time.

It was pretty obviously Manset. Other guy could be Hines or Reid but we haven't had another trialist all pre-season like eee-orrr.

 

[torchomatic]

I dont think it'll be Hines.

No, he's quite good..

 

[Paxman II]

Did I read the embargo has been lifted today?

 

[sw88]

Well where has this rule come from? Never heard of this before

He left us for MK Dons so I imagine all ties with him have been cut

One in one out as long as the one in is on 75% of the outgoing players wages.

It's in the FL rule book in the Special Coventry City Laws section I believe.

 

[thaiskyblue]

clarkes off, normal sisu crap. get some quick cash, get in a freebie, they think us ( the fans ), are thick as f****.
NOPM, SISU OUT, PUSB !

 

[skybluehugh]

play him upfront with leon and all our games will be 5-4 thrillers

And unless we get the defenders we need, it will always be in the opo's favour.

 

[simple_simon]

This is pissing me off, we have two defenders being paid good money to just keep fit and its an old head at the back we need.

 

[skybluehugh]

17 goals in 100 games for MM if Wikipedia is to be believed. To be fair he has moved around a lot so has several clubs with less than 10 games. In his 2 longer spells 10 in 50 for Hereford and 5 in 29 for Reading so not exactly setting the world on fire but fingers crossed in the right system he can hit a purple patch and bang in a few. If Clarke can stay fit and get 20 and this chap can add 10 with Baker getting another 10 or so as he did last season we're not looking too bad for goals. It's the other end we need to sort out as 6 conceded in 2 isn't a great start.

That also suggests to me he isn't one to show much commitment to clubs he played for, or he is a right pain to manage and is got rid off as quick as he arrives. Or as some have said on here in different ways,he's shite.

 

[jesus-wept]

The wise gut that is Steve Waggott says basically it is one in one out. How are we going to get rid of Malaga who has played about half a dozen first team games in his life. Has the question ever been asked why Waggott gave him a 3 year contract.

We would be better off paying up whatevers left on his contract in full and showing him the door, at least we could bring someone else in then. Utter madness that an unproven player like that was given a 3 year contract.

Or he was always on short term contracts maybe, as he is here? Just guess work

It carn't have or we wouldn't have to use special conditions, as far as I know anyway.

Fully agree with this. As I said on another thread, while we are paying them use them. It is also the best way of moving them on. If there not in the shop window who is going to buy them?

 

[skybluehugh]

You could well be right, but if you are that is even more worrying. Because if he carn't get a longer term contract it would suggest the the "he is shite" crowd are right.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

A signing's a signing and perhaps it can take the pressure off Clarke. Webster if fit would actually be a pretty decent signing at our level and exactly what a defence full of kids needs.

But what if he turned out to be an absolute gem, then everyone would be moaning when he leaves for a bigger club after his 1 year contract is up!

 

[Sterling Archer]

So we can't afford to pay appearance fees to the defenders we've got sitting their arse while two teenagers struggle, yet we can sign a striker even though we play one up and have a least three players who can play up top.

Unless Clarke's on his way?

Edit: Welcome to the madness Mathui <sp?>, I christen thee M&M

We've played 2 games this season and played 2 up top in both.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

But what if he turned out to be an absolute gem, then everyone would be moaning when he leaves for a bigger club after his 1 year contract is up!

So offer a 12 month deal with a 12 month extension option, or a 2 year contract at most. No justification for a 3 year deal when the player in question was so untested. I expect he is earning a decent wage too.

 

[Sterling Archer]

I honestly believe if we signed Cristiano Ronaldo, you'd still get some City fans moaning.

I've just come to accept we'll always have fans prepared to call new signings sh*te, without seeing them kick a ball. Ever. I suppose its to be expected though after the years of dross we've bought into the club.

Nothing wrong with some scepticism but lets at least let the lad have 10 games without a goal and 3 sendings off before we proclaim him as sh*t though, eh lads?

Isn't Webster still bring chosen for the international squad? Although its only Scotland, but surely that would suggest his fitness level isn't that bad?
