Transfer rumours

The Guardian and Telegraph have both speculated Cardiff City will attemp loan coups on Scott Sinclair and Aaron Ramsey respectively. Sinclair has even struggling to get regular football since joining Manchester City, and Ramsey is also falling out of favour with Wilshere now back in action.

Sinclair has said though he would rather stay at the Etihad than spend time elsewhere, and reacted very negatively to a drop as low as QPR in a loan move, so in theory we would be in even lower stead with him. This is also the first be heard of Wenger looking to temporarily offload Ramsey.

Still, exciting prospects huh?

Sinclair is obviously a great player but also a fool for either thinking he was good enough to play regular football at Man City or for taking an easy pay day anyway.


He also plays in a position already over subscribed in our squad doesn't he?



I have to say, and I know most will disagree, but I have never rated Ramsey. Certainly not while he was with us and any player will improve and look good with the team mates he has had at Arsenal.

I don't know about oversubscribed, certainly out midfield has enough players already but in my opinion if you take Noone out of the equation we lack pace that's hurt us before - Sinclair could definetely help in that department.

And I agree with you on Ramsey with regards to the top of the premiership he's found himself at, but I feel at this level he could do damage, bossing the midfield the same way we praised Gunnarrson so much for against Millwall. It wouldn't do any harm to the fans regard for the owners either bringing back suh a big figure from our recent past.

Although I would love Ramsey to come back to City he would not provide the physicality which Gunnarson gives us. Ramsey, in my opinion, is more of a Whittingham type of player although there's room in the side for both of them but along side Gunnarson.

Jack Hunt (again) and Vaz Te are in the City rumour mill....

I'd have Ramsey back in a heartbeat... The lad is still quality and we need to put consistent high quality performances together in the second half of the season

Last time Ramsey was here he made a huge difference to the side. In fact, I think in the nine or so games he played we didn't lose one and considering that was the Dave Jones days of inconsistency that really is saying something.

I seem to remember he linked up very well with Bellers as they seem to be on the same wavelength. I'd definitely take him back.

I think most of MM's transfer targets will be players he's tried to sign previously for City. He openly admits that he builds up a dossier on every player he is interested in over a period of time. Craig Noone is an example of this. Tried to sign him in January, back in for him in the close season.
So I've a feeling Matty Phillips and Marvin Sordell are still on Malky's list and probably Frazer Campbell.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sordell was in the frame

Sinclair is a twat. His missus moaned about South Wales and He thinks he's too good for us. He's a good player but probably a dressing room pain in the ass.

Ramsay would be excellent and would kick Whitts up the arse a bit.

Not long till we find out... Im expecting 3 players.... 1 within first week of window... and 2 nearer the end.... word on the street a deal has been done already for... someone geezer for fat jim who can boss the defender... u know like peter kay in john smiths advert well hes better than him

Would rather we steer away from loans, it's not like we need them. We're in a position now where we must build for 2013/14.

Ramsey I'd have back tomorrow, I'd give Sinclair billy big boots a miss thanks.

Not generally keen on players who have turned us down before, so Sordell or Matt Phillips will need to prove their commitment to the cause for me.

The rumours I heard were that our loan signings would include future transfer fees, meaning if we were happy with them, we could make them permanent.

Whatever the case I think Malky will be bringing quality in, in preparation for the last part of the season and so that we don't have to reconstruct the team too much over the summer if we go up.
