lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 9, 2017 [quote user="Hoola Han Solo"]He''s come here, and Manchester City have sanctioned it, because he is guaranteed to be our no. 1 at the start of next season, and absolutely everybody knows it.[/quote]Not so. There are no guarantees in football. You can''t make another football club select a player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coq au vin 0 Posted June 9, 2017 It''s Man City Lakey. Thee Man City. Gunn will be number 1 all day long. Rudd''s near 27 and if he was going to have the chance this loan wouldn''t have been sanctioned.I still think we''re in for a another keeper, selling Rudd and McGovern, keeping Jones and loaning Matthews.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 9, 2017 [quote user="Morgan"]It''s Man City Lakey. [/quote]So what? They are just another football club, wealth or not. A goalkeeper who has made just a handful of first team appearances. He is being allowed out on loan with a view to get experience of holding down a first team place. But it isn''t a given imo. He has to prove his worth before being given any number one status. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I being Punk''d???"Farke: "Absolutely not, this is top level football we''re talking about you know, now go and train with Carlton Morris, he might teach you a thing or two until Jarvis gets injured or something..."

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 9, 2017 Lol. You lot are ridiculous. If you think we have "guaranteed" Man City he will be first choice, you are bonkers. He may start out as favourite for the first team place, but he no-one is number one until they have proved themselves. After all how many league appearances has he made in any competitive league? Nil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted June 9, 2017 Lol. You''re ridiculous. There''s absolutely no way Manchester City would loan out a very promising goalkeeper, who they rate highly, if he was not guaranteed first team minutes, they would have loaned him to someone else instead.

Yellow Wal 314 Posted June 9, 2017 Harry Kane wasn''t guaranteed a first team place when he was with us.All players are the same, they are all first team players .............. if they are playing well enough.There will be plenty of pre-season matches for the manager to make his mind up and I will be surprised if young Angus doesn''t start the first game, but if he cocks up badly for a couple of games, who knows?

BroadstairsR 2,164 Posted June 9, 2017 t''s absurd to suggest that any player is "guaranteed a first team place."It is even more absurd that another club should be in a position to dictate who should be guaranteed such a privilege.First choice? Yes, but no assurances should ever be involved.Ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
