It's like Christmas, receiving presents that you've never heard of.

He's a ****. And not because he is joining Brighton.

I like him already

Why's that then?

He has played for Barcelona and Man City and now Brighton, no wonder he has a semi-on in his wiki picture!

That's a pretty good recommendation then... I like him already!

 

[Gazwag]

How's about a midfield of

Barnes - left mid/attack
Bridcutt - defensive
Razak - box to box
Vicente - free role behind CMS
Buckley - right mid/attack

then? Sounds alright by me...

And then Noone and Lua Lua on the bench to both come on for the last 20 minutes :notsurethereisasmilliethatexciting:

It's lovely to get all these loan signings in, but do we know how many have "to buy" clauses in their contracts? It's clear Gus and Tony want to go up, but if they do we'll obviously need players of their quality to bring into the squad on a permanent basis. The players we have on loan would seem to be ideal candidates, they'll have already gelled with the team etc... Just a question of whether or not we can actually them if we need them next season.

5 sub rule is a fecking joke tho int it. May not have room for both on bench...?

Most weeks at least one of Buckley Kaz and Nooney are injured

Sure Mattock, Vokes and Reyes will be with a view to buy as all are out of contract or not in their own teams long term plans. This lad from City no chance, he sounds like he's set for great things and they are just trying to get him game time.

 

[Lush]

I bet Forster-Caskey is thrilled. I know the DS have to fight for their places, but I hope he doesn't get discouraged.

 

[Seaber]

Good news for us, not so good for Sparrow, JFC, Harley, Navarro, Vincelot and Dicker when he gets his fitness back. This would take us up to thirteen first team midfielders/wingers when Dicker returns.

Vokes certainly, Mattock likely as well. I think Reyes may be trickier to get though.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

If we do sign these both does anyone want to try and attempt a team/formation for Saturday?!

 

[ArcticBlue]

I asked a man city sth pal of mine what he thought of razak, he replied -

Great looking young player. Good control, box to box and loads of pace. YaYa junior. Can pass a ball beautifully, but not yet consistently. Same with dribbling- sometimes incredible, sometimes blind alley. A great prospect, hope he makes our final cut.

Just what we need i reckon.
