Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted June 27, 2016 They will come ... but we''ll sell a few of the crown jewels first (just so that reluctant sellers know exactly how much cash we have to play with ; ) ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,138 Posted June 27, 2016 I''m just hoping we just manage to unearth a "gem" of a striker either from the lower leagues, Europe or Africa who, by hitting 25+ goals next season, becomes the next headline grabber and helps propel us back up at the first time of asking.Hard ask but it happens and we have had our fair share of striking failures in recent seasons. We deserve a change of luck.Not since Grant Holt have we had a really prolific striker, although Jerome scored enough in the Chumps the last time around to indicate that he should be useful again. Jerome, two more and young Morris as back up and we should be fine as long as at least one the ''two more'' comes off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willo 0 Posted June 27, 2016 With the news of Brady and Redmond this weekend, my hope is that we are clearing the decks early with no sudden last minute departures so AN knows where and how much he needs to strengthen so there''s enough time to get the targets we want,With circa £25m in the pot on top of the planned budgets and no doubt 2 of the highest earners off the books, we should have plenty to get the quality 4-5 players we need.

0ridgemanddMMyyyy0Falseen-USTrue 0 Posted June 27, 2016 More in the mould of Dorrans, Andreu, Mulumbu and Wisdom - no thanks. Alex Neil didn''t know his strongest team last season don''t think much will change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,286 Posted June 27, 2016 Well buying from EU will cost 10% more at the moment, we need to wait till the £ stabilises!In all seriousness we only have 6 weeks to go and very little to link us with, a tad similar to last season worryingly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,086 Posted June 27, 2016 what is a little worrying is the deadwood we want to clear out are staying , And it looks like the players that can and will make a difference and can play EPL football are leaving Redmond Brady and OlssonIf we are serious about going up and staying in the EPL then we better buy well we could have 25 million with these deals we need to spend that and anything else we have to build a strong team with some players what worries me most is we have a manager who has never built a team like this last season looked like other than klose we bought plays for positions not for moulding or to fit into our teams style of play it seemed we had 11 players but no system style or tactic just get on with it look at time like 11 strangers sometimesit takes one hell of a manager to build and mould a team with a certain style of play that you keep to and brings success is Alex the man ? i have doubts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curious yellow 184 Posted June 27, 2016 I think people are going to be disappointed with the amount we spend. But we have never bought success and too many changes never does any good.We have quite a few players who are good at this level so I hope that we can gradually bring the younger players through otherwise this time next year we will have to make some drastic changes.

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted June 27, 2016 so if we stick with what we have and lucky enough to go up then we start the EPL season with about 9 new players as we know most of current players have failed if we built a team with promise this season if we then went up the change might be 4 players for a new EPL season better to build a team in a weaker league this season than build one in a summer for stronger league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curious yellow 184 Posted June 27, 2016 It needs to be a gradual process rather than a panic clearance and purchase of mercenaries.In this way real life differs from Championship Manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted June 27, 2016 I was in Scotland in February, and from what I saw of Clinton Morris he is a fourth striker at best, so I am very concerned about our lack of strikers at the moment.In an ideal world, where we could plan these things, it might be better to have two seasons in the Championship to build the core of a team which could stay up.

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted June 27, 2016 i agree we need to build a team but 2years in the chumps is going to cost us more than 200 mil plus ! what we must do is buy players we can improve to be EPL players not easy i know ( every team wants that )but no point buying championship players if you really want to go up as when you are there you are in the same position as last time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted June 27, 2016 Will be nice to see even 1 new face joining City, some people say the transfer window for Champs sides opens on July 1st. If so, i would like to know how even our first opponents of the new season, Blackburn, have already signed 4 new players. Oh well, Silence is Golden, so goes the saying.

Captain Birdseye 0 Posted June 27, 2016 Starting to feel like the shambles of a transfer window last season The lack of communication from the club is worrying. At least by now you expect an interview from Neil advising of the outcome of his discussions with the individual players and where he wants to strengthen Also what is happening with all the players out of contract next yearIt''s the lack of a strategy, CEO and an invisible board and manager that is most worryingWe are going to hell in a hand cart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted June 27, 2016 Really think we are going to struggle to get anywhere near promotion , new contracts for players not good enough and selling anything that we can get a few quid for is a recipe for disaster . It all comes down to do you think Alex Neil can buy 5 or 6 players of good enough quality to get us promoted , on the evidence of his signings so far eveybody must have massive doubts . Lets be honest we have not even got a stiker at the club and two decent ones will set you back the best part of £20 million in todays market , Palace wanting £10 million for Gayle and he really is nothing special at all .

daly 500 Posted June 27, 2016 HogstarYou obviously do not think this club has problems. McNally gone Bowkett gone WHY???Can''t blame Redmond Brady and any decent player wanting away.No ambition is the understatement look at last seasons fiasco regarding signing players with a useless journeyman costing 8 million plus money wasted on Andreu, Dorrans Wisdom Mulumbu etc.Mid to low table at bestOh and we have Ed Balls to lead us plus a coaching staff that would not get a job in The Conference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted June 27, 2016 With the transfer window not really even open, it is a bit much to decry our dealings. As for Blackburn signing 4 players, they released 8 with first team experience and none of the 4 are players we''d want - I''d much prefer quality over quantity; we have the numbers in almost every area on the pitch other than defence (if we lose players) and up front.

andyc24_uk 59 Posted June 28, 2016 It''s like this every season when there''s a tournament on though - delays the transfer process by a couple of weeks. It''s all a merry-go-round and it''s only just started to spin up... we''ll be signing players in the next month I''m sure; I also think we might see RvW stay as I cant see anyone else wanting him and we need bodies up front.

pablofarmer 0 Posted June 28, 2016 If Iceland has reminded us about anything it''s more about team spirit and togetherness then big name expensive players. That''s what we need again, a team spirit like when we successive promotions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Year of the tiger 54 Posted June 28, 2016 Just as aside to this tread, someone mentioned loans. Apparently this season any loans have to be done in the transfer window as there are no emergency loans. All loans are either half or full season just as in the Prem but don''t think it''s limited to 2 as it is there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
