Dodgyknees Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Not sure about him, mainly due to his record previously. BUT, he will take players on out wide, and stretch the defence, which is more than Gabby does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 A loan suits all parties. Lambert obviously thinks he can do something with him, so lets see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 If this helps in keeping Andi and Gabby out of the team Im all for it. Having a natural wide player (with at least rudimentary football intelligence & technique ) playing in the wide position will make a world of difference to our attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Good luck to him. I think one of the main things about his signing is we should get more out of Benteke and Weimann. Pleased with this, hope he has a bigger impact than Cleverley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Wonder if he will play a part on Sunday. Hope he does, means Gabby wont be on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm very happy with this, i think the negativity will soon evaporate when he plays a few games. If it doesn't work out, we can just send him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The two clubs are believed to have agreed a deal, of around £2million, for Sinclair to make the deal permanent in the summer. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-flop-sinclair-set-8538183 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny-recession Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I like that he is a direct runner and good with the ball at his feet. For all the speed Gabby has its very much in straight lines and can be uncontrolled. I seem to remember him being very willing for 1-2s around the box. Don't know why I think that but someone willing to break the line and try as opposed to go back to midfield is something we have been missing. Time will tell I suppose but more wing threat is definately a plus considering our recent failings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piav_k4 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I'd like to see the wages, but 2M to make the deal permanent seems a really clever bit of business from Lambert. Sinclair wide left and Gil wide right both able to cut in. It's almost exciting... He has a contract until 2016 and you'd think he'd be on over 40k a week.I doubt he'll be taking a pay cut below 40k. 3 year deal after the initial loan? Wages wise it's risky if he does an N'Zogbia, but he looked a real talent for Swansea. WBA fans didn't think much mind.

DamsonwoodVillan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Is Sinclair ineligible for us in the FA Cup? To be honest I couldn't care less what WBA fans say. He should fit into our side playing his natural game and in theory it will help to get more out of some of our other players. We have to give him a chance. He has about 4 months to prove himself.

Brumstopdogs Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hopefully we'll agree a loan move with an option to buy at a pre-determined fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be eligible. He's played 4 times this season for City, in the Community Shield, twice in the Premier League and once in the League Cup. City are out of the FA Cup. He isn't cup tied and I can't see why they would object to us playing him in the competition now they are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Earlier in this thread I said I wasn't sure about Sinclair, and I still am not sure whether he will be up to what we require. I am happy it is on a loan with a view to a permanent deal, it means we a chance to try before we buy and gives the lad a chance to prove himself. Hopefully he will prove me and any other doubters wrong and be a hit for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the hold up all along was that we wanted to loan him and see if he is upto standard rather than commit to buying him and taking on his wages, City were probably hoping someone would buy him and were holding out for that.

romavillan Posted January 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2015 loan with option to buy is perfect for us. now we can put out a really good 4-2-3-1, with 3 proper attacking midfielders/trequartistas, awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
