It’s very obviously not true, but in the land of fuck all rumours the bullshitter is king I guess.

Nothing linking him to Cov, but I do wonder what the staff thinks of Duncan McGuire. Reported offers over the last month from Wednesday, Blackburn, and a couple of continental clubs as well.

Was excellent in his first MLS season. Great in-the-box movement and classic poacher #9. Play style reminds me a lot of Godden but with a bigger frame. Orlando has a history of pulling strikers out of university and quickly developing them. Did the same with Daryl Dike (West Brom) and Cyle Larin (Mallorca). However, with all the money spent on Wright and Simms in the summer, I just don't think they reach down and spend the $$ necessary though.



Tom Bogert (the MLS/American version of Fabrizio) on his situation.

Problem is when there's no solid rumours I start to buy into the bullshit even though I know its bullshit...

Making Wright work as a CF makes sense in a lot of ways: he’s basically our top scorer, a LW is generally easier to get than a CF.

Except the fact he was shite when we played him down the middle and only started to look good when he played on the left?????

You don’t move haji from the left imo

we sign a right winger who can play left and a forward ideally

If he was the "centre forward" he wouldn't have to exclusively operate centrally. He could still operate in the left forward slot...

Think about that for a minute. You've claimed we are close to signing a very unrealistic target and seem to know every facet of the deal. You just surely accept that to the outsiders perspective it's deeply suspicious.

I’d assume David Brooks going to Southampton rules them out as a bigger contender for the Palace lad - if true.

Is Oscar Bobb that unrealistic? Be a great signing on paper, but I’m not sure there’s a PL club that he’s getting regular game time for. Aside from maybe one of the bottom 3 or 4, which would probably be bad for his development anyway.

And coming to a Championship side would be good ? The bottom 3 are only just better than they were last season, which was Championship.

Looks like a good prospect on paper but can't see Man City wanting anything less than stupid money for a potential starlet.

A hopeless dream. And we move on.

He is also 21 in July and not home grown, born in Norway so he has to be in the 25 man Man City first team squad or on loan and they are only allowed 8 I believe. City are another club with loads of U/21 players and believe it or not ffp issues.

Ok, so, pretend I know absolutely nothing about this "Bobb". Somebody tell me how good he is.
"He plays for Man City" is not acceptable.....
Josh Wilson Esbrand played in the Champions League for Man City.
Are people getting a little over excited about this one??..... (Because he has played a couple of games for Man City)??????

Couple of questions then.

How much game time is he getting while they’re in a fight for the PL now KDB, Doku, and Grealish are fit? Next to none.

Is going to a bottom side who have very little of the ball a good thing? Does he start regularly for anyone bar Sheff Utd, and Luton? I’m not convinced he does.

We do need to stop making out we're an unattractive proposition these days, we're a real top end Championship club now and we play good football under a good manager.

Crystal Palace? Fulham? Any number of top flight European clubs? Even if we accepted he was moving to the championship you've got the likes of Leeds, Southampton, Leicester......

On the flip side, you want to send a player to a club where they’re almost guaranteed lots of game time.

In that sense, we’re just as good a destination.

Bobb is a fantastic little player with a huge future. The fact he’s getting game time for City rules us, and I’d imagine anyone else out immediately. Ridiculous rumour.

Club is so different now the fans will not get word of anything going on behind the scenes. Doug will be doing all the calling round with Austin and if something can be done it will be.

We would of been talking to agents and testing out clubs, but its no good panicking or being pressured into something. We just need to relax and let the club follow the plan that is undoubtedly in place.
