Scott Sinclair - now gone
« on: January 29, 2015, 09:48:11 AM »
Seeing as this appears to have moved on from pure speculation to something more concrete, we may as well have a thread.

SSN are saying he's passed a medical and is finalising a loan move today.

If true I'm happier with a loan deal than a permanent one. It might encourage him to put in more effort. Also hope it frees up some cash for another player.

Let's hope he's motivated unlike when he was at Albion.

Will wait and see, but if he can stay motivated then I guess he could be an improvement on many of our current crop.  He has a lot to prove.

I have reservations about him but a loan should see the best of him

If it is a loan with the option to buy them it's a no brainer really as we've nothing to lose.
There's a lot wrong on the field at the moment but in terms of transfers I think the club/manager have done well in the main.

Probably not the best signing we could make, but far from the worst.

I'm not feeling this one myself....but, and it's a big BUT, he might just be that little bit better than N'Zog, Gab and Andi on the wings if...and it's a big IF, he stops thinking football is only about money, hair and that pair of tits he's with.

She's preggers and you know she's going to get all Swansea on us.

Try before you buy seems the smart way to go. There is a good player in there, he obviously didn't get a chance at Mn City and was never likely too.

Hopefully he can recapture some good form, but I guess it is down to him.

Damning with faint praise, but he really can't be any worse than Gabby, Andi or Charlie out wide. I hope!

Has ability but not the kind of character I like to see at the club. Still at his worst is a better option than Nzogbia and has plenty of scope to improve.

Club have played this one pretty well to be honest, looked like there wasnt much interest from other clubs in the end so City and Sinclair were forced to back down.

I totally agree. This 'try before you buy' is a great way to go and I really hope it pays off in this case.

It's good to see that PL has noticed what his weaknesses are going forward, though. Hopefully Gil and Sinclair will give us a bit more technical ability rather than relying purely on pace alone, feeding the big-man with all the balls he can take.

If we are getting the Sinclair from Swansea then it's a great signing. However, he's been in semi retirement for the past two years. Hope it works out but I have my reservations.
