Guest wilyfox Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Maybe. I've seen that Gray's had an eye on Man City's Brandon Barker. He looks an amazing talent. Like a young Adam Johnson. 18yrs old, 7 goals in his last 3 academy games apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about him but would he be viewed as a replacement for Royston Drenthe, or would he another youth loan like Baker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 At his age, youth loan I'd imagine. I'm not saying we're getting him. Just read on twitter the other day that Gray attended Man City vs. Coventry academy game last week. Watched Barker bang in a first half hat trick, then subbed. Gray promptly took off afterwards.

Saxondale Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Barker is supposed to be an immense talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Looks a very bright prospect. I'd take him if City are willing to let him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes probably be worth a punt, but we still need to replace Drenthe and McGugan, and then bring in a proven striker. These youth loans are OK because they add depth to the squad, but they rarely enhance the starting eleven, which is actually what we need to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Eventually people will come to the realisation that Baker is McGugan's replacement. Gray's been trying to get him for 6 months; if anything, McGugan was signed because we couldn't get Baker earlier. I'd only want McGugan back now if we could do a permanent deal - and that does not appear to be on the cards. Staton and other media outlets are talking up the possibility of a full transfer, but whenever asked, Gray has always stressed loan deal. It's other people trying to twist that into something else.

ozzieowl Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I reckon we may get McGugan on a perm. Soon as takeover goes thru this week. Birmingham poised to sign Lloyd Dyer. Pffft tramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandwhitematt Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 SkySportsPeteO Birmingham City are set to sign Watford winger Lloyd Dyer on loan. #BCFC #watfordfc Would have really liked him here, but I guess Watford aren't going to go about loaning players to other teams in and around the play-offs.

gurujuan Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Is it monetary constraints that has us scrambling around for youth loans? I'd have thought someone like Dyer would be able to make much more of an impact short term, and surely that's all we're talking about. Baker and Barker might be better long term investments, but we're not actually buying them are we Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Be very disappointed if Baker and Barker turned out to be our replacements for McGugan and Drenthe Despite Baker having only been here 5 minutes, and admitting to not knowing much about Barker? Gray is bedding Baker in the right way from the bench. He'll become more involved as his loan progresses. Unlucky not to score his first senior goal against Bolton too! Great block from their defender. Baker and Barker are same category as Barkley and Wickham, in my opinion. Supreme talents you could look back on and say we had them here.. If Barker comes, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm not sure if this is meant to be tongue in cheek but Birmingham will be above us soon enough the way both clubs are playing. Until we sort out our attacking play we will only drift down the table slightly, whilst teams like birmingham scoring 2-3 goals a game can keep climbing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Dyer is a Birmingham lad I think so as soon as Birmingham were interested there was no way we were getting him...not on loan anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Sadly, I don't think we have/had interest in Dyer. I'd have liked him too, but seems Wednesday don't want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
