Would have crouch here on a pay/play deal or low wages. Would be good if played 2 up front in this league. |  | | |

er - why are there as many replies about Peter Crouch than they are about the actual subject of this thread?

the title is rumour, and crouch is just that.
i think that there is still a place for him in the premiership say at big sam's, where he likes a tallboy up front as a target. think he could het a contract till the end of the season to help them stay up, before he comes home for a sentimental start at the first game of next season up front with washington. | |

Why do we want to stall the progression of yet another young English 'keeper?? At some point they've gotta learn to stop coming to us! |  |

Can you ever have enough Keepers...
or left backs...
or midfielders?
Serious question, as i feel this squad needs to be slim lined before we continually add to it, as well as addressing areas where we are genuinely weak, like RB |  | | |

Agreed - they are now reporting he is having a medical today, why can't they learn that we don't need to keep bringing in more players with FFP hanging over our heads.
Smithies should be No1 till the end of the season, Lumley could be back up and we get an emergency loan if Smithies gets injured, but no lets go and buy another keeper to sit on the bench. They must be far more confident about FFP than most of the fans, bringing in another young keeper is good if we have the money. |  | | |

It's probably the clearest indication that Green is on his way though. It's the kind of signing that doesn't seem to be worth getting worked up about one way or the other. Most clubs have a No.1, an obvious backup who will keep the pressure on the No.1 and a get out of jail 3rd choice. I imagine all 3 will cost considerably less than what Greeno is on. |  | | |

Seems a good signing if not too pricey. Still a bit lavish though, albeit hardly on a Cesar/Green scale. |  | | |

I'd probably send him back to Wycombe on loan for the remainder of the season, to let him continue playing and learning. That would leave Smithies as No 1 here, with Lumley as his back up - assuming Green is definitely on his way. Then in the summer you let them fight it out for the starting spot. | | | |

With regards to FFP am I correct in thinking that the rules have now been changed for the start of next season and that teams that have come down have up to three years to adjust their finances? | |

Wouldn't surprise me if we agree to him staying at Wycombe for the rest of this season as part of the deal, with a recall option if we get stuck.
We do need another keeper if we lose Green, Lumley is fine as back up but he'e still really raw and needs proper games. |  |

If we have enough for a 3rd keeper (not inc Green)and £2.5 million for Washington , Can we have a right back to end this jester court of Perch/Ned please. |  |

A point I saw made in an article about why Man City keep Richard Wright around for four years despite him never making an appearance - if Lumley was second choice keeper he wouldn't be available for the EDS games, nor a loan elsewhere, but also wouldn't be playing any football for the first team which wouldn't be ideal. Not sure that's really ideal for Ingram either, but it's a strange life as a second choice keeper. |  | | |

Wright is kept around as he qualifies as a HG player for the Champions League & PL squads, and is doing coaching work with a city's young goalkeepers. | | | |

Yup, but it also means Gunn is playing regular academy games, rather than travelling around to first team matches he doesn't make the bench for. | | | |

From what I understand, City actually generally take a number of youth players to away games with them just for the experience of a match weekend with the first team.
On Ingram, a look on their forums suggests that most wish him well and are excited about the kid Lynch that they have backing him up. | | | |
