Are the press having a laugh linking us with signing Marley Watkins? He wouldn't even get on the bench for our reserves! Only a few seasons ago he couldn't get a game for Inverness 😂! The press in Scotland are a real farce 😂!

I read the above as well.
Ed - any truth in it do you think? And if the answer is yes, do you think it's a goer? Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed007's Note - It seems plausible enough, City would definitely be interested in doing a deal at that price.}

please please please!

£6.8m what a bargain, Man City might need to have a sell on fee, they need the money. 😉😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 15:57:01
Given that BR has said he wants 2 quality players in, if PR is 1 of them on a long term deal, that's us off to a great start at least, and we don't have to worry about giving him time to bed in . Lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 16:07:02
Some blogger/ writer has said it, we offered 6.8m with 25% sell on fee! If true do u think it's value for money ED? Hope it is true right enough but I'm not sure we'd pay that for him. hope I'm wrong but lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I think it's a bit steep but I'm sure City could get more from another English club for him.}

19 May 2017 16:19:29
Ed, It's interesting that Paddy has been starting games more frequently. Maybe that tells it's own story, Possibly BR and Paddy know more than they are letting on. here's hoping!

Agree4 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Hopefully it means that Rodgers knows Forrest ain't the answer on the RW.}

19 May 2017 16:24:55
Sinclair on the left Paddy on the right next season. what a thought. Having guys like this speak so highly about our club can only do us good trying to entice future targets imo.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 16:21:25
its that arse phil who said there's been a 6.8m bid, so i'll take that with a pinch of salt, the guy lives in his own wee fantasy world.

Agree5 Disagree2

19 May 2017 16:34:55
Thanks Ed.
If this is the case, I think it would be fantastic! Potentially, it's heavily offset if van Dyjk moves. So that would be a net outlay of a little over a million for our top target.
Keeping my fingers crossed now!

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That's a good point, Andy, I never thought about it like that.}

19 May 2017 16:41:47
I think you could be right there Stan. The only real reason I could see for BR playing Forrest over Roberts earlier on was that Forrest was actually our player. That change could well mean that something has been in the pipeline.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 May 2017 16:59:29
Let's hope so JT.

Reading lot's of comments regarding Paddys interview last night i think himself, BR and the club in general are correct to keep quiet until anything is done. Give the press nothing!

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 20:33:41
I noticed in his interview when asked he said "i won't say anything right now" maybe they are tying the loose end up and it will be announced before the final next week along with Armstrong signing his new deal.
That would be some great news going into the summer.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 May 2017 21:20:55
Jonnhoy - that would be unreal!

Would love to see Paddy stay but ultimately it's down to the boy himself. He's already stated he wants to fight for a place in the City squad and he's good enough. The problem for Paddy though is he will have a monumetous fight to even be a squad player with the funds City will have this summer. His other option would be to go to another mid to low table premiership side which in itself would show a lack of ambition but could bring him big money. I definitely think his best option is to sign for us and have a great couple of seasons winning Leagues and Trophies and getting good CL exposure. Could be a win win all round as his stock goes up and we then sell him to one of the top Premiership/ European teams for a big fee.
The boy is class but he has the capability to be really world class and Brendan is the perfect manager to get him there.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2017 17:11:21
Roberts starting most games could be because Both he and Rodgers know the pressure is off Roberts as he is definitely not staying .
I really hope that I am wrong because Roberts would be really useful.

Forrest, in most people's eyes ( especially those that matter ) has had a good season. People who support less succesful teams like Liverpool no EPL victory in over 30 yrs, may query Forrest ability.

Agree0 Disagree3

I don't think there had been any pressure on him Chris. I'd say there has been more pressure from fans to start him more. I don't think his attitude was there when he first signed but he is up to speed now. If this pans out and we get him it will be unbelievable. The moose is a grey area but the rest of the lads are all falling into place and will be at the club for a few years. SC in particular I think has really taken the club to heart and the reaction from the fans after that tw@t's racial abuse was top class. There must be a part of PR that doesn't want to give that up.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 02:22:01
Hello bhoys and Ghirls bit of info regarding the moose, apparently he's 100% going to Chelsea for a fee of somewhere between 15-18 million. Solanke going to Liverpool and Roberts wants another go at life at city all from a very reliable source. HH.

🤔 A reliable source?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 10:24:40
You almost sound happy about all that mcstay1888, 15-18 million, id hope not.

Agree1 Disagree1

19 May 2017 11:29:27
hes not going for anything less than £20 mate. We have proven track record now with bringing expcetional talents through. Thing is Dembele scores goals. its the hardest thing to do in football and also the most noticable. He will be attracting a lot of interest but 1 more year with hopefully european football will prove he's worth the money.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 11:55:10
£20 MILLION ** HAHA.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 12:27:05
I dunno how I can sound anything when I make typing bhampot lol just passing on what I've been told I thought the dembele situation was strange also. Griffiths WILL be leaving some point soon also.

Agree0 Disagree2

19 May 2017 12:54:34
Solanke in Griffiths out maybe?

Agree0 Disagree0

19 May 2017 13:03:03
Solankes going to Liverpool more wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2017 07:16:41
Any good news mcstay.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2017 17:16:59
IT would seem strange for one expert to have both Griffith and Dembelle leaving in the one season .
I think we should settle down and not meet a doomsayer situation until it arises.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 May 2017 00:04:40
Ha ha, c'mon what's with these posts attempting to relay a negative message in a friendly fashion. All I would say to McStay1888 is " I can definitely smell shite".

On another note. Its fantastic that DK has come out and declared the warchest of 13 million for next season. Spent prudently I feel that this will give sevco a chance to compete with Aberdeen for 2nd. However the reality is that with Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen and possibly even Dundee Utd it is more realistic for them to be challenging for 4th or even 3rd position.
