    Fantastic player, a great Man City side which was my team as a kid, until I saw the light!!!! 
    Frannie Lee, Joe Corrigan, Tony Book, Summerbee etc, Colin Bell always seemed to be the gentlemen of the team, a bit like Martin Peters in my mind. RIP a great player 

    Me too RIP Colin Bell

    Will we do any, do we need to do any?

    I've seen a few people say we need a striker. I'm not ready to write off Hugill yet and Idah will be back in a few weeks. But I'd be worried if we lost Pukki to an injury.

    Also seen people talk about a left back, but unless they are a left back who's going to start then I cant see it. Especially with Quintilla now back and Sorensen showing he can fill in there.

    We seem to have plenty of options in midfield, no10 and on the wing with Hernandez & Placheta nearing a return.

    A CB maybe to cover for Hanley & Gibson as Zimmermann has looked a little shady since his injury he got in the prem.

    All these players that have just come back from injury and the ones close to a return will be like new signings.

    What about out goings?

    Morris is going to Barnsley, surely Drmic & Leitner will now get a move either permanent or loan.

    Maybe a loan out for a couple of the younger lads, McCracken, Omotoye Omobamidele.

    What about Josh Martin once Placheta & Hernandez are back. Will be behind those 2 aswell as Buendia, Cantwell and Dowell who can play down the right. Some games out in league one will benefit all parties.

     

    Given a few games Josh Martin has the potential to be ahead of them all bar Buendia just needs to get stronger physically and game time.

    Pleased it shows we are far from desperate to sell. In fact, it’s a clear message that it’s very much the opposite. All this business will be good for Todd in time, a learning curve in his career and will certainly help shape him as both a man and player. A great opportunity for this experience to become a positive for him in the long run I feel, and I think he’ll bounce back in style.

    He did well in the Premier League last season, and many a player has joined the PL for far more than £25mil and turned out sh1te. So he’s worth that for me. Nice try by Leeds to unsettle him and get him on the cheap. I wouldn’t expect anything less from them to be honest. But this time it looks like they messed with the wrong club.

    The only 2 players last season that did well were Krul and Aarons

    [quote user="City 2nd"]Following the debacles at Villa and Millwall, this messageboard went into meltdown re our defensive frailties and the need to address the problem. It gets addressed, we play two defensive midfielders and keep two clean sheets, yes, likely at the expense of any creativity. Then this board goes into meltdown once again! Two clean sheets, we move to about halfway up the table, and still you moan. There has to be a balance, the coach is getting there, but patience is needed. Too many of you want instant success. That isn''t going to happen. A side has to be built to win, we don''t have money for the instant success so many crave, and never will have.[/quote]

    City I was at both of those games and agree Millwall was awful I left at 4th goal, however poor our defending was at Villa i was impressed with the way we kept going and tbh at 3-2 had we equalised our attacking display with Nelson on could have won that game. We must not get too many beatings, this team wont cope with that. I am convinced we will get there, it might take two seasons but lack of investment might make it longer.

    [quote user="Baldyboy"]Looks an absolute waste of money and to think loads on here were raving about him before the season started![/quote]

    He also had one of our two shots on target last night albeit was deflected wide, so what would you say about the other 8 on the pitch?

    [quote user="kingsway"]Very true Year of the Tiger!

    Pinto seems untouchable cause he foreign and goes on social media!

    In reality he has his weaknesses as you state!

    I seem to remember Garrido a few years ago being the darling of many fans and being completely shielded from criticism. He was competent but he wasn''t as wonderful as many made out![/quote]So would I be nervous playing beside Russell Martin and while we are on the subject of defending watch the hole he left for the first goal, and why have we let Ben Godfrey go on loan when he is a better option at RB cover than Martin beggars belief, unless we are signing more players.

    [quote user="Lessingham Canary"]He s still only 19, so not such bad news. Hope he does make it to our 1st team, have liked what have seen from so far.[/quote]

    Me too LC not sure its the right thing for us unless DF is lining up more experienced cover for RB. Saw him at Leeds in cup last year at RB thought he looked decent. Game time will be good for him

    [quote user="Jim Smith"]This would all be fine were it not for the fact that we will then be told we have to sell Maddison, Pritchard, Murphy and Oliveira in the summer because we''ve lost our parachute payments. We are being asked to be patient in the one season where we actually don''t really have the time to be patient.

    Delia and co have wasted every opportunity we''ve had and now I fear will preside over a slide to real mediocrity for years.[/quote]

    Jim not a fan of our owners but how do we get rid them are majority shareholders and wont sell!!! As for the panic posts, there was some poor defending on Saturday, Martin wont get a kick when Klose is fit, Wildschut could cover Pinto as well as being an impact player, Stoiperman can play left back I thought when he moved more central in the second half he looked a decent player. We played some decent probing football second half, and with more luck could have won the game. Steve Bruce said we were a decent sid, work on the defence and midfield so that when we play a high line the midfield keeps hold of it so then the defence is not immediately put on the back foot. Zimmerman needs more work done with him and imo Franke could become avery good defender. One more signing is required a pacey striker, thats all

    [quote user="Darth Canary1"]And the fourth, scum must be going crazy for this attractive football[/quote]

    Why do you call them scum you half-wit they are just another opposition football team, you are why I will not go to Ipswich away again after last season it was a vile experience and instigated by moronic City fans

    [quote user="Indy"]No he wasn''t but he did nothing to change the game either, how much better did we look when we went 4 at the back with Wes on? We actually looked a threat!

    So the question is do we like to pass the ball like Ray Wilkins, back, sideways and back again or do we pass and move forwards occasionally too?

    The pressure should be on Naismith he''s fronted the press conference and is a senior player, he must lead by example and be one of our best players in most games, IMO.[/quote]

    I would play him at No10 and make him captain
