Relax, we still have Brown, Hughes and a 39 year old!.

Holy Mother Of God!, now I''ve scared myself sh*****s!.

I''m all for not surrendering to blackmail and ransom etc, but City are starting to lag behind in the new signings league.......again!. Sunday will be July the 1st, a day,  many of you pro board posters gave as the day to start getting worried from if we hadn''t signed anyone of note.

Well?.

Oh, and while I''m here, I''ll say this:

We will end up with cut price, Z list ''Billy No Marks'', just like we always do, and you all know it!. I thought when the Sharp and Eastwood bids went in, a revolution was about to happen, wrong wiz, yet again our damn board won''t go the whole mile!.

Under those ''prudence with yet more prudence'' guidelines so worshiped by them, I now feel no obligation whatsoever to continue my promise not to attack our useless board on here!.

They are the guilty ones........not I.  [:@]

Unbelievable wiz, even by your standards. You wriggle more than a worm on a fish hook!

This is the second thread you have posted on this board within the last three days and they completely contradict each other. 

The first entitled ''''Don''t be held to ransom, City'''' and now this !!

Three days ago you were praising Peter Grant for not paying over the odds  (quote)

''''I want to see ambition from the club with their signings, but not however, at the point of sheer financial suicide.

We must not allow ourselves to be bullied or held to ransom by these tin pot clubs''''.

Closely followed by ''''yet again our damn board won''t go the whole mile!.''''

Which is it to be wiz ?

Do you wan''t our club to buy players WHATEVER the cost or do we buy wisely ?

My guess is most posters agreed with you on the first post which came as a complete shock to your system, however, having three days to recover you had to set about putting that to rights and I must say that you have succeeded !!

I''ve been waiting for one of these posts to come out from you for a while Wiz, just disappointed that you''ve done it.The 1st of July is the day when a load of signings are going to be unveiled up and down the football leagues. That''s also when Mr Thorne will be leaving our fair club for pastures new.You''re moaning about us getting ''cut price billy no-marks'' in this post, then moaning about paying too much for quality in another. Where are these ''magic'' players that cost virtually nothing but are easily as good as or better then the options available for £2 million plus? Please, enlighten the league with this information, as we along with all the other CCC clubs can go out and make Chelsea etc look like mugs by signing players of Henry''s calibre for £2.50 and a bag of chips...A large number of clubs have so far signed NO ONE AT ALL, including some of the ''bigger'' clubs in the league, see below for info:Palace - No one inScum - No one inSheff Utd - No one inSheff Wed - No one inSouthampton - No one in but have sold Bale :)West Brom - No one inAnd as for ''Big Money Wolves'', they''ve splashed out on...Matt Jarvis. Glad to see how much their new financial standing has helped them in bringing top class players to the Championship...We''re still in the bidding for both Sharp and Eastwood, Earnie has gone no-where so far, and Grant has more than shown his savvy by refusing to pay the likes of Gavin Rae daft money for average ability.We''ve also got a very good player in Otsemobor, who could potentially be the best right back to play for us since the days of Ian Culverhouse, but obviously he''s already rubbish as he''s agreed to sign for us?With all due respect Wiz, when are you going to stop posting conflicting opinions across a number of different threads??? The board are prudent - they want sacking. The board try to spend decent money - they''re mugs who are being held to ransom. Grant doesn''t sign 10 new players - he''s got no ambition, Grant does sign a player - he''s not good enough... WHEN WILL THIS NONSENSE END???The signs are encouraging that we''re looking to bring in 2-3 players for the sort of prices being touted. Marshall was always likely to be a more drawn out transfer due to the whole Boruc situation, and Celtic demanding big money for a relatively unproven player (particualrly as keepers traditionally cost less). Grant has offloaded a large portion of the dross, has looked to loan out youth players, and is now bidding for good quality - why the complaints???This whole 1st of July ''deadline'' is ridiculous, a number of Premiership clubs with big money to spend have still done nothing, so I guess Villa should sack O''Neill for his lack of ambition when money is clearly on offer? Wenger should join Henry at Barca because Arsenal have only  signed some no-mark Polish keeper? Clearly Dave Whelan has run out of cash despite selling JJB for 170 million as Wigan have signed 3 free transfers and a Swedish defender who hardly played for them last season???It''s not as clear cut as many, including yourself are suggesting, and until the season starts, we can''t with any confidence suggest how many players will come in. How about giving the club a break for a month, and if nothing has changed when we kick off for the new season, I''ll join in your complaints and admit you were correct, but how about until then we get something vaguely positive and supportive???

"Giving it a month"?! This is one season where we should learn our lesson and get players in for pre-season. It is a MUST! I don''t want to see another late August scramble for the cheapos and the freebies, we need to act now to get the players we want whilst also allowing them time to bed in and get used to the team during all of the pre-season games.

i''d like to see some new players asap as well but it''s still only june, i would be more worried if all our rivals were getting players in but they aren''t.

also don''t look like billy sharp is getting anywhere near sheffield soon.

To be fair leicester are only one club out of 24 if you look at the league as a whole we really are not any different to any other team.

You also need to bare in mind wiz that we are scrapping in the market for some of the hottest championship level talent around. Sharp, Eastwood, Cureton, Marshall...Sure, Barnsley have signed 3 players, but do you want Andy Johnson and a dutch kid who had an unsuccessful trial at Ipswich (who incidentally have signed precisely no-one to date)?  It''s not like popping down the shops and just picking up what you need!
