Well there is no guarantee he will score goals but from last seasons highlights he looks better than Le fondre.

Just watched the video I no anyone can look good on YouTube but he can finish and looks quick hope he signs

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 31, 2011

I just hope the club confirm it soon, the longer it drags out the less likely it becomes.

CovKingChris · Aug 31, 2011

Not sure if Peterborough will sign him. they have just completed the signing of that striker from Macclesfield.

Freddy could finish in L2..O'Donovan could finish in L1. What makes everyone think he can step up? If we end up with Parkin and him but no Lukas, my bleeding season ticket can stay unused for the rest of the season. Had enough of this.

Parkin is not coming. I agree he could be a dud but we haven't got the finance to get proven championship scorers.
I think Mcdonald is a much better option than Parkin.

Bloodnut1964 · Aug 31, 2011

The Parkin deal has fell thru apparently http://www.coventry.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=253456
How true this is I don't know.

Well that'll do me! I'd take Lukas and McDonald, but not McDonald instead of Lukas. And whilst I'm glad Parkin aint coming, it makes it look like he was valued at "zero" in the Turner deal...great business, SISU!

skybluebeduff · Aug 31, 2011

Yeah, I didn't get that either? £750k + Parkin or £750k without anyone... Fantastic business! I also know he hasn't played much in 10 months but he was quite easily the best defender in the championship before that and I swear he signed a new deal last season. Add to that, we're meant to be building a team around the likes of Turner. Brilliant SISU, once again Bravo

ccfcway · Aug 31, 2011

at 9k a week, on a 3 year deal, Parkin would have cost us just shy of 1.5 million, plus signing on fee and agents fee.

McDonald at 400k and 5k a week will cost us 1.2 million or so, plus he will have a sell on fee

no brainer really !

SkyBlue · Aug 31, 2011

Am I the only one that gets the feeling that we won't sign McDonald due to the incredible silence coming from the club?

CovKingChris · Aug 31, 2011

We'll have to wait until he's actually played for us too confirm he's signed.

No, you're not! I can definitely see nothing happening.

By the way, Turner deal's not confirmed on either our or Cardiffs official site.

LarryGrayson · Aug 31, 2011

well leve it to the last minute so we can say we didnt have time to use the cash honest guv

Maybe the clubs are still negotiating the fee because Parkin backed out of the deal?

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 31, 2011

I can already hear the excuses " We didn't get the paperwork filed in time" etc.

Yeah, maybe. I wasn't suggesting some conspiracy, just think the telegraph have been a bit premature!

wexfordskyblue · Aug 31, 2011

Silence is good, just let us no when the deal is signed and sealed.

SydneySkyBlue · Aug 31, 2011

I'm getting more and more nervous as time ticks on. Half-expecting the deal to fall flat because we offer him peanuts for wages.

SydneySkyBlue · Aug 31, 2011

" very much like earnshaw but better "

Norwich fan's opinion on McDonald:
http://services.pinkun.com/FORUMS/PINKUN/CS/forums/2606068/ShowPost.aspx

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 31, 2011

The general opinion is that he is not good enough for the premiership but could bad 10-15 goals at championship level and if in a decent championship side 18-20.

johnniericoh · Aug 31, 2011

Cody's goal video looks promising.

I know it's two leagues below us BUT he certainly knows how to put them away
and he appears to possess the following attributes:

two footed
good with his head
quite pacey
converts one on ones
can score solo goals
available for tap ins
25 years of age

Career goals: 82 in 167 games = a projected 22+ goals in a 46 game season !!!

Certainly one to watch and could yield more results alongside a big man

craigus12 · Aug 31, 2011

i know we're about as good as a league 2 side but that doesn't mean our opponents are

Bloodnut1964 · Aug 31, 2011

Confirmed Ben Turner gone o Cardiff!!

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Aug 31, 2011

Got a gut feeling this deal isn't going to happen now, we were told we were close 4 hours ago so what is the hold up for?

skybluedave22 · Aug 31, 2011

think we just need to be patient, as hard as it is being a city fan!

Lord_Nampil · Aug 31, 2011

we have been since the window opened nearly 2 months ago!!!!

Walking Bird · Aug 31, 2011

Waiting for news that McDonalds move has fallen through, folllowed by the usual bullshit from Clouting & co about " we tried so hard" & "bitterly dissapointed"..
Then assurances that when the loans open we will get quality Premier loans in..
I can hear it now!!

We don't do anything with ease at City. I expect SISU are haggling with him over £50.

Just waiting for that headline confirming this deal has also fallen through and we're left with 2 players leaving and no new faces.

SydneySkyBlue · Aug 31, 2011

beat me to it walking_bird.

Yet they are bad at negotiating with out going players :facepalm:

Otis · Aug 31, 2011

Hmm, interesting that he had his medical at lunchtime but we've heard nowt yet.

Discussing personal terms maybe. I'm sure the two sides will be close. His agent will start the bidding at a wage of £12,000 a week and we will start from a position of £50 a week and and two balti pies.
