Rudy Gestede

I know not a City player any longer but Rudy has been linked with a move to West Brom (Daily Mail). :o

I believe that he is near the top of the Championship goal scoring charts this season and has done well since he moved on.

To be honest he would have been ideal for us, I doubt he was on a huge wage, a good age and had a bit about him even if it was only shown in small glimpses initially. Not sure why Malky wanted rid of him when just a loan to Blackburn would have done.

I never rated Rudy when he was with us but saying that he did not many games to show what he could do. He has undoubtedly improved over time and he has not got a decent scoring record at championship level.

Would not be surprised if he did go to a club like West Brom under Pulis.

Agree with you bridgendbluebird. His performances weren't consistent enough for us. I'd probably have kept him as back up but not sure if he'd have stayed if that was the case. Pleased for him to be doing so well now though. Shows what confidence and a team playing to your strengths can do.

Malky loaned him out. He was sold the day after Solksjaer was appointed.

Although he didn't show it too often for us, he was always a decent player and has really blossomed this past 12 months

I didn't think he done much wrong as he was always used as a sub he done a job. Standard ole ripped apart our proven squad and brought in the likes of macheda

some total crap on here
1= malky loaned him with a an option to take him full time in January so to insinuate ole sold him is bullshit
2= rudy was injured for quite some time when with us but as I said at the time he was young and would improve
3 = funny how its pulis who might be buying him and we know how well pulis is rated on here
4 = if pulis had become our manager like so many wanted on here and he bought rudy back what would everyone be saying then

Hadn't ole been in charge for a day or so. The option to buy is often a signed agreement that just becomes official in January.
His sale is down to malky, we all know that.

If Pullis signs him, he will improve him no end, has the potential to become a decent player, our loss :roll:
