Re: Emergency keeper loan [Merged]

Anyone else feel a bit sorry for Gunnar in all of this? He thought he'd get his chance.

If it means we get 4th though...

Re: City Allowed To Sign Another 'Keeper.

This is good but I have 2 issues:

1. Please not Marton Fulop!
2. This is quite harsh on Gunnar who thought he might get his chance.

Yeah, it's tight on the Faroese kid. They should just let him play.

It's not like there is a lot at stake or anything. I mean what could possibly go wrong?

Re: Daily Mail reckon talking to the FA about an emergency loan

How do you figure that one out? You will be blaming him for the fucking volcanic eruption next. Get real ffs

This - some fans like me are thick ***** to say the very least.

I haven't the fainest fucking clue about anything but still think having an opinion on a forum is good thing.

(and fuck Cooke, injuring out 1st two keepers and letting the other out on a season improving loan) - the bastard.

Manchester City are trying to persuade Birmingham City to allow Joe Hart to return to Eastlands for the final three games of the season after requesting special permission from the Premier League to help them out of a goalkeeping crisis.

Hart is on a season-long loan at St Andrew's but Birmingham's vice-chairman, Peter Pannu, said tonight he would "consider it favourably" even though the manager, Alex McLeish, has made it clear he is against the idea.

Pannu said: "I understand their [Manchester City's] concerns. I am very sympathetic to City and if I was Garry Cook [City's chief executive] I would already have been on the phone."

Contingency plans have been put in place, with Manchester City's football administrator, Brian Marwood, contacting Sunderland earlier in the day to ask about the availability of the Hungary international Marton Fulop. The 26-year-old Fulop has not only lost his place to Craig Gordon but is now third choice behind Trevor Carson. It is understood his relationship with the manager, Steve Bruce, has been strained.

Roberto Mancini, trying to steer City to the fourth Champions League qualification place, needs a replacement for Shay Given after the Republic of Ireland international dislocated a shoulder in Saturday's goalless draw at Arsenal. Two of Given's understudies, Stuart Taylor and David Gonzalez, are also injured.

The third-choice goalkeeper, Gunnar Nielsen, a 23-year-old Faroe Islands international, is available but the next option is a 16-year-old academy player, Loris Karius. The club supplied medical statements to the Premier League today to request an emergency loan.

The officials discussing the application have agreed that City meet the criteria, namely having no established first-team goalkeeping cover, and the club hope to be given official approval tomorrow.

Hart, voted into the Professional Footballers' Association's team of the year, has one England cap and also forced his way into the squad this season. It is likely City would have to pay a one-off fee to Birmingham. Alternatively, a deal may be reached whereby Hart goes back to Eastlands but Birmingham are guaranteed he will return to St Andrew's for next season.

The complex nature of the negotiations is not helped by the fact McLeish has already gone on record to say he would rather keep Hart for Birmingham's final two games, with the Midlands club on course for their best finish since 1959. However, Pannu said: "We have a great relationship with City and I will consider it [the approach] favourably because Joe has done a great job."

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, City's main rivals, are monitoring the situation closely. Neither club have raised any objections with the Premier Premier League.

I have a feeling that Joe will be between the sticks for us on Saturday.
