The Bullplop Rumours Thread

Re: Rumours Thread

Hazz, you seem to have a bit of a downer on the club for some reason...

Firstly, is there anything other than a rumour that we, along with several other clubs, are interested? No. Hardly "flies round shit" is it?

He was rejected once by City, I don't know where you got the "always" from (just to make it sound more dramatic I suspect). The fact that he went to play for Quorn next probably justifies the decision, as he was obviously not good enough at that time.

He's not scored at a "higher level" at all; in fact, he didn't look that good in the Championship last year, but he's done well in League 1 this season.

He and his family are well known to be City fans. I saw his folks away at Crewe - city shirts with Varney on the back.

If there was a choice between Leicester and most other teams (unless you're talking big time, which we aren't), then I suspect he would come straight to Leicester.

But do we want him?

No idea but I am just saying you'd feel slightly pissed off now that they want you all of a sudden. I see it's a footballing situation which means that normal logic doesnt apply.

If you apply for a job at a company three or four times and they rejected you every time. And then you join a smaller company, you become very good at you're job and then you're headhunted, two companies the same size come in for you. One company is that one you applied three or four times for, you'd tell them to feck off because they didnt want you in the same place and go with the other big company.

I am not being hard on City. City could be anybody else - a footballing club, a company, a bank....

My use of Derby was a bad 'un but say Southampton or a Preston come in for him.

Varney is too similar a player to Fryatt,I would prefer Maynard.

I wouldnt say so, I would say Fryatt is a goal poacher and finisher. Varney's main attributes are pace and skill IMO. For me Varney will pick the ball up outside the area and run at defenders.

Totally irrelevant to football Hazz, no one has feelings for a business or company like they do for a football club! :icon_roll

Varney - a lifelong City fan would never chose to go to the Sheep over us!

Hazz, I still think you're being uneccesarily negative on City. Maybe (and far more likely) it was a case of:

City say to Varney (like all other youth players who don't make it): go and find a club, prove us wrong, and we'll be monitoring the situation. I'm sure it's not "all of a sudden" - and, of course, as it's just a rumour, it might not be the case anyway.

I can't believe they'd be dismissive or in any way horrible when they let youth players go. I've read many times that the coaches say it's the hardest job they have to do. He was probably told he was a smashing lad! :icon_wink

And when have they rejected him three of four times? He came through the youth ranks (once), but he clearly was not good enough at that time - he was obviously not as close to being ready as players like Jon Stevenson and the like, who ultimately weren't good enough.

To his credit he has fought hard and got himself a reputation. I'm still not convinced he's good enough, but I hope he is, and I hope we do look at him - he'd be a player we could relate to and would play for shirt.

Re: Rumours Thread

His entire family are city fans, they seem keen enough for him to come and play here, they all have his name on the backs of their shirts
