dibbler 0 Posted August 12, 2015 I can''t now see anyone else coming in.The board has choked and now its going to be a panic buy in January when its too late, like Ashton.Just my gut feeling, hope i''m wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 519 Posted August 12, 2015 BBC Sports saying Southampton in talks with Celtic over VVD. Makes you wonder who we were after, if any.I''m amazed we have added so little to a squad that is still in effect the same squad that was relegated. Time yet but is it same again City. SO much talk, so little action! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,633 Posted August 12, 2015 Yeah, it''s not as though the transfer window has nearly 3 weeks before it closes, is it; clearly no time at all to get anyone in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted August 12, 2015 On the basis AN has left both Murphs out of the squad, this leaves us short of wingers, I suspect we may be looking for a striker first and foremost, then a winger and then possibly a CB, but given our budget is limited, the striker position may be the only one to be considered a starter, the other two would probably be cover/options.

Newton 0 Posted August 12, 2015 I suspect that we will only see new signings if we can ship out high earners like Wolf, Lafferty, Voo, Turner etcRemember we have a stated aim to remain debt free and McNally will not only be looking at wages for this season but what happens if we go downThe problem appears to be no one wants them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we bring other players in then expect more youngster to go out on loan before the window closes. They need to be playing regular football to aid development ideally.

Ray 111 Posted August 13, 2015 AJ,I assume yo mean U21, but that aside neither were given squad numbers, which when you consider Josh was assigned a squad number last season and played a few times, probably in itself tells a story. Whilst undoubtedly they are both players with bundles of potential, from what I have seen they haven''t come on that much in the last 18 months or so and being promoted probably didn''t do them any favours in terms of making 1st team appearances for NCFC either. I''m guessing that they are not part of AN''s plans for this season and as you say, will go out on loan to aid their development, as no doubt will some of our other youngsters, which let''s hope bodes well for the future.

CanaryOne 0 Posted August 13, 2015 Somebody will come no doubt , the trouble is it will probably be Crystal Palaces 4th or 5th choice striker . Has there ever been a Premiership club with less pulling power than City . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dibbler 0 Posted August 21, 2015 Well, over a week passes and are so called best shots at signing someone has fizzled out, what a surprise.It seams that the offers being made are only half-hearted attempts just to appease the fans.Still hoping to be proved wrong.
