davieG Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping: The PA news room is full of rumours tonight that City have accepted a bid from Wigan for £2.5M for Connelly and Maybury. Tiatto will leave to go back to Australia's new soccer league and that City will sign Riordan, Kris Boyd, Paul Hartley (Hearts) and Darren Kenton. Rumours perhaps, but I think there is some truth somewhere in this....expect the Sunday papers to run the story. Souns WAY over the top to me Anything in the Sunday Papers?
Thracian Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Sounds logical enough but they'd have to move pretty quick.
Parsons Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 this sounds crazy!?! there is nothing reported in "The News of the World" I would be happy if this deal came true. What position does Paul Hartley play? if he is a defender then i really hope this transfer is true
SystonFox Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Kenton in place of Maybs?! hmmm Riordan and Boyd in place of Connolly? (sounds alright to me actually) any info on Paul Hartley? as said they will need to move quickly and it all seems far fetched. 4 new players before wednesday midnight. cant see it happening but if it does i think Connolly will go (if anything!)
The People's Hero Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 I can't see us wanting to lose Maybury to be honest, but then if Stearman is going to become the regular right back, it'd be better to have someone we KNOW can play at left back than having Maybury filling in there. I dunno... all seems a bit far fetched as a job lot whilst each deal is feasible enough in isolation.
Anish Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 I would like to see Darren Kenton sign for us as a centre-back but I don't think this story is true.
The People's Hero Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Yeah - I'd like to see Kenton come in... but equally wouldn't like to lose either one of Stearman or Maybury.
Thracian Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 If Hartley's resigned for Hearts as reported, that's one part that's not true for a start.

It's always the same guy spouting PA "scoops". So far not one has been true so i'd ignore him!!
Louise Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Firstly let me say I don't believe that guy or those rumours at all. But, if they were true I'd happily take 2.5 for Connolly and Maybury, a profit of almost 2 million for one player (Maybury) who hasn't performed this season and another (Connolly) who can be good but only once a month, if he has the right partner for that night, and the ball is played to his feet, and the defence can't handle him, and the wind is blowing from the north etc. Plus Boyd and Riordan would be quality replacements. Now I still don't believe the rumours are true of course, but its worrying that I'd be fine with us selling two of our 'best' players that ended last season so well. How bad are we?
PRIOR09 Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Love it if it happened, but the chances of it happening are about 0.0001%.
Gené and Tonic Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Hartley is a mdfielder I think, and a scoring one at that.
rossporterlc Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 sounds crap to me, conners is staying put and i haven't heard any talk about maybury before
Cal Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Hm, 2.5m for them both sounds reasonable. Doubt it will happen but if it does i hope we do get Boyd and Riordan
Aberdeen_fox Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 Hartley is an attacking midfielder but just signed a new deal at Hearts, some reports being that he was on £8k a week. So It's not going to happen. Don't know about players leaving but Riordan and Boyd could be a possibility with Boyd turning down Cardiff and Riordan stalling on going there also. Boyd's been linked with Rangers in the Scottish press today.
stulcfc Posted 28 August 2005 Posted 28 August 2005 i would like them both to stay unless they gave us the money they was willing to pay for owen
davieG Posted 28 August 2005 Author Posted 28 August 2005 Skysports.com understand Cardiff have resurrected their move for Hibernian striker Derek Riordan. The move seemed dead in the water earlier this week when Riordan failed to travel south for talks with Cardiff after they agreed a fee with Hibs for his services. Hibs are willing to let Riordan leave after he rejected the club's offer of a new earlier in the summer. Riordan was left out of the Hibs squad for Saturday's win at Rangers with Easter Road boss Tony Mowbray suggesting the player needed a few days to consider his future. Cardiff are keen to rekindle their interest in Riordan with the transfer window due to close on Wednesday. Bluebirds boss Dave Jones is keen to bolster his attack and has made Riordan his top target. Jones is now ready to step up his efforts to bring Riordan to Ninian Park and is keen to try and push through a deal before the close of the window.
