Nottingham Forest Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Someone who was at Oldham last year. I think he's a striker. I thought Cov were going into administration so they're current board are selling off players to try and avoid it. G-Man able to explain. I wouldnn't mind Clingan back at Forest as back up. Unfortunately I don't think we have any money to spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man11 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We've stated that Clingan isn't for sale btw. Doesn't mean that we wont sell him mind. As I said in the Cov thread earlier it would be better for us to lose him on a free next season than sell him atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be another one of our targets we have missed out on. This is why I hate the fact SGE has to get promotion this season, would rather he was given 2 or 3 years to build.

Matthew Le God Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Routledge nothing on Chamberlain. Shame we won't keep him. He didn't leave in January when all the papers and Sky said he would. He wasn't at Arsenal's training ground in Jaunary when the Mail said he was (he was on a coach to the Tranmere game at the time). He didn't leave on 1st July like the Mirror said he would.

The media doesn't have a clue. I agree the media just seems to be picking random dates and prices and hoping they come off but to think the media is just making it up all together is incredibly naive. Clearly discussions have taken place. Adkins said as much a week or so ago but no bids are on the table. I'd be shocked if a price hasn't been quoted and Arsenal are just trying to wait in the hope it comes down or are focusing more established targets first before coming back to us. I don't think making him their first signing would be great PR especially if it is around the same time Nasri and Fabregas might leave, but I think they could certainly get away with spending a fair bit on him if they buy well before him and start the season well. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts the season here, bags the winner in the first game against Leeds on Sky and boosts his rep which would make Arsenal more keen. I don't know what's going to happen. I certainly can't say for certain he'll stay or go because I think it depends on a lot of things. Clearly he'd be stupid to not want to go but equally I'm glad he isn't doing a Modric and handing in transfer requests. I'm just being pessimistic so I'm not too disappointed if he does go.

Benjani'sBootCleaner Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 1-0 Defeat to Chelsea. I really do like watching Norris, glad we have a proper captain now. Mokoena, Lawrence, Kitson not really captain type material. Especially in a Cotterill team. We look like we are playing a high tempo game, getting it forward asap and hunting down the ball as a pack. Not pretty but losing is not pretty either so what ever gets results. Be good to see who is added to that team as Cotts is after 5 more players, be a pretty decent squad stronger than last years team definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man11 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Surprised at that tbh. I never bother with pre-season friendlies full-stop unless it's something like a testimonial or the event with Jimmy Hill last year (and those are normally friendlies just before the season starts). The early ones I don't even normally know who we're playing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIR17 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well, I'm hearing we're back in for Yakubu which would suggest we don't think we can get Maynard. edit: Could always be a ploy to try and force Bristol City into action of course, like what we did with Konchesky, said we'd moved on to other targets so that they stopped dawdling and accept the bid. Just speculation though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIR17 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yeah, but if he has another good season then we wouldn't be able to get him at the end of the season, would we? There'd be Premier League clubs willing to take a risk on him for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIR17 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The transfer fee is supposedly only £3.5mil which could reach £5.3mil with add-ons anyway, the vast majority of which will probably be based on whether we get promotion or not, in which case Maynard, if he helps us to promotion, would have paid that fee back many times over.

Standard liege! Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Sven was one of Lazio's greatest managers ever? So he did do well. Wasn't manager of Notts but they won the league, at Man City Eriksson became the first Manchester City manager since 1969–70 to win both league derby games against Manchester United and also achieved the club's joint highest Premier League point total, 55 - so he hardly did bad.

I think you'll find most City fans will tell you he did a good job for them. Most people were shocked when he was sacked at the time (though we now know it was probably because of the new takeover) and ManCity fans protested outside their ground when he was.
