"Top class" player wants to come to City according to Mowbray. (1 Viewer)

[rupert_bear]

This speculation will just go on and on now until either something happens or Mowbray comes out and knocks it on the head, with what he said a lot are assuming it will happen obviously. That Keiren Crowley bloke says quiet definately it isn't Joey Barton so can i assume if Crowley knows who it isn't he knows who it is ? I am surprised the press haven't got hold of this and speculated but then we are now small-fry.

 

[rupert_bear]

Eagles ? Certainly a flyer !

 

[bawtryneal]

I sat next to his agent at the game on Saturday

For info, I am a HP man but sometimes Henderson Relish is great on Pie and Mushy peas

If it is Chris Eagles, he will tear this league apart. Lots of experience in the higher leagues and only just 29. Still a good few years left in him. Can play as a winger or an attacking midfielder which would be ideal as to not let Maddison get burned out too much and give us healthy competition in those areas.

Why are people even suggesting it could be Joey Barton, admittedly they got relegated but he was a starting premier league player last year, surel a championship club or even a newly promoted premier league club will take the gamble

I think it started as speculative banter, he ticked a lot of boxes, recent ex prem, well rich so money perhaps not an issue, centre midfielder without a club yet and seen probably as the type to be ringing someone like Tony Mowbray basically asking for a job. Don't think any of us really believe it could be him.

Where has Chris Eagles played recently?

Played a dozen games for Charlton last season assume he's Been injured.

Not getting the Eagles hype, not done a lot for a 3 years I don't think.

League 1 is rather funny though. Look how little Moussa and McGoldrick had done before City for example. It's a strange league, the gulf between league 1 and the Championship is bizarrely gigantic yet rather small.

 

[rupert_bear]

It is a strange gap between the two divisions, in relative recent years we have had Swansea, Southampton, Burnley i think, leap from division 1 to the premiership in successive seasons. It just seems to me there is more money sloshing about the championship and more debt, i'm not convinced the players in it are massively better.

What makes you think the press would want to work off an official club statement as apposed to something someone's mates uncle said down the pub?

 

[hill83]

I know it definitely isn't Messi. So you can now assume as I know who it isn't I know who it is.
But I'm not telling you.

It isn't all to do with how much money is spent. It is what they do with it. And once the players are in it is then down to how good the manager is.

ah gutted, Benzema's name has been knocking around quite a bit lately?!

Barton having a medical at West Ham. Fuck off SISU he wanted to play for us but we couldn't afford his £50k a week wages! Not going to another game until we sign someone as good as him.

Great rumour though wasn't it, probably join the ICF too !

 

[wood.ben2608]

Agree, Chris Eagles
Will be announced prior to Rochdale game

Any news on this? Exciting talk!

Barton is a decent player. But he comes with too much baggage. We seem to have a squad that gets on well and works well with each other. A player like Barton could easily wreck what TM has built up. I don't think he would have wanted him.

No not yet, can't see anything new player wise this side of the Rochdale game, all focus will be on that. Mowbray's a 100% pro.

That`s why he has recruited Mark Venus

LOL it was never ever going to be Barton.

Our Technical Director TM`s best mate and right hand man. Responsible for all recruiting !!!

Barton to West Ham. Finally put to bed.

I think Oxford will give him a run for his money in centre mid!

 

[MusicDating]

Chris Eagles? Poor man's Adam Barton.

In fact, ever seen them on the same pitch together!?...

[kg82]

Throwing another name into the hat... Don't think he's been mentioned, and I don't think he's got a new club. Owen Garvan

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Looks like West Ham just pipped us to Joey Barton

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Not quite sure on Eagles, he could go one of two ways.

 

[skybluegod]

The interview suggests that it's a CM Eagles doesn't fit that description so I'm still sceptical as to whether it's him.

 

[rupert_bear]

Will we ever find out who it is ?

 

[higgs]

Has eagles legs gone? He used to be a flyer when at his best

West Ham, not been denied this time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33852058

Could be two turkeys?

Two turkeys do not an eagle make!
