Lee Camp to City?

Nothing in the papers or anything, but I just read this article:

Manchester City make emergency goalkeeper request

Manchester City have written to the Premier League asking for clearance to sign a goalkeeper on an emergency loan deal until the end of the season.

Think they'll be gunning for the PFA Championship goalkeeper of the year/Forest player of the year?

 

[Dadford]

They can take Smith as he's so good.

 

[Baronvon]

They'll probably go for David James or Maik Taylor.

Haha I know.

I doubt Billy would be let him go out on loan at this time of the season, but as City are so filthy rich, and they scream and scream until they get what they want, might there be a slither of possibility in this?

 

[Gary]

They'll probably go for David James or Maik Taylor.

David James is the more probable idea.

They want Joe Hart back I think. Panic over

if they want hart back they can have him without the leagues permission, he's only on loan isn't he?

 

[Mist Rolling In...]

Yes, it's only a loan. But it's a season-long loan and there's no recall agreement in place.

Why do they need a keeper now? The guy they used on Saturday was an international keeper (albeit for the Faroe Islands). So if he isn't good enough, why are they employing him?

I say City should get stuffed, and use the Faroes guy with a youth team player on the bench.

Why do they need a keeper now?

Because their back-up, Stuart Taylor, is taking almost as long to come back from his knee injury as Joel Lynch has to get back in our team...

Season long loan so there's no recall clause. Their only hope is if Birmingham terminate the loan of their own volition.

I think the Premier League will say to them that they have a keeper in Hart and they should recall him. This would mean that Birmingham won't have to pay but it's not as if Man City can't afford it.

As above, they cannot recall him.

In which case, tough shit. They already have a keeper, and probably have a youth team keeper they can put on the bench. Until the Faroes keeper gets injured, they shouldn't be allowed an emergency loan.

 

[Jon NFFC]

it will be kasper back from county then after they haven't paid them for him.

 

[RedMark]

Camp to City ? Never.

I understand they are looking at Fullop from Sunderland.

 

[City Ground]

It's there own stinking fault for loaning out their only other decent one ain't it? They best not come knocking for Camp. They have dug their own hole, now lets see them get out of it.

Fulop was well dodgy , thankfully for him , city were well on top in the game.
