Impressive list and if we can get those I would be very happy. Is Panzo left footed ie left centre back. Edit - just looked in more detail and if we could secure those players we might be an outside chance of the playoffs! Any guess on the total outlay that might represent?

Thanks for sharing, who was slagging it off? It's always helpful if names are dropped. It gives contributors the right of reply.

Agree, in fact these changes have been touted for perhaps longer than the heavy American influence at the top of the PL.

It's Primarily the American owners who don't understand the concept or value of relegation and promotion. They see their football clubs as franchises like the others in their sporting portfolios. I honestly throught that American soccer would adopt the European model and introduce relegation...

Agree look at the run we went on after he scored two in the Wycombe win. We just seem to be better with him in the team.

Think we need 5 points to be sure. Not sure if i will be supporting Blues Sunday to cut Rotherham adrift?

Not going to disagree. I rated him a 5/10 more for his impact than overall potential. Relegate and he would be one of the first names on the team sheet next season. Stay up and hehas a battle to prove he should be in the team. Wenger was a decent judge of a player and had high hopes for him. Too...

I guess to help the debate we perhaps should list those signed. 1. Sheaf 5/10 not taken us forward. 2. Osti 8.5/10 Best signing for me 3. James 7/10 Done his job as Sheaf hasn't. 4. Walker 6.5/10 Been stop start season should improve. 5. Hamer 7/10 Had some reactionary fans drooling. Over...

I don't want robin's out at all and feel he has another evolution in him at ccfc. If we want top 6 perhaps we will need a manager who is more of a front foot tactician as opposed to the largely reactive Robins. After the Covid issues etc Robins deserves a full summer to sign players and shape a...

Marosi 4 - should have saved at least one of the goals. We urgently need a new no 1 Eccles 6 - impressed and has a great cross on him. Pask 5 - poor for first goal. Should be 5th choice CB. McFadzean 6 - did ok but lacks pace against teams with good movement. Ostigard 6 - Playing in a week...

You could be right, if we stay up. Not sure he would have been much less impactful than the front two today. Regardless however if you concede 4 were just not going to win games, no matter who we have up front.

8 Frostie splurging is relative to income and bank balance. It's entirely possible that 100k spent by us equates to 10million or more to another club. You have again asserted that I don't know what goes on behind the scenes? Do you? By phrasing it as you have, your suggesting your privy to...

Frostie, with respect you do get a bit carried away with yourself and have drawn some slightly strange and incoherent parallels. I used the Ben Godfrey transfer simply as an example of how a player can be plucked from relative football obscurity (York city) and can subsequently net a club 20...

As a % of outlay there are quite a few. It only takes a Ben Godfrey at Norwich signed from York for very little, sold for 25m. That was clearly the hope for the likes of Thompson, Drysdale, Morgan Williams etc but they have all struggled and are finding they best fit in teams well short of...

I had a long debate on here where I was told the opposite and the moneyball approach was not City's and we had a great scouting infrastructure. I would tend to agree with you and a family.friend who is the agent for a few Newcastle players that its mostly done on stats and videos unless the...

Badlan has a very good record at identifying players who won't make an impact at first team level. If his MO is as described above, he has assembled a decent, if not slightly expensive U23 squad. His words about Kastaneer ought to be in a capability report of some kind, they are so misaligned...

Thanks for the video link, it shows a technical passing ability that outside of de bryne is not in the premier league right now, and hasn't been for a while.

Largely down to Robins formation and his fitness, Godden was truely abject against QPR and it was noticeable how nothing was working in the final 3rd and we were just inviting wave after wave of attack. Today thankfully was in total contrast and he produced first touches that others in the squad...

He was decent offensivily, I am not sure if that has been in debate? Always good to know the quest pundits agree with the people on this forum who watched the full 94 mins today.

I am not saying he had a poor game, offensively. I just feel out of possession he invites pressure onto the midfield as he does not pressurise the opposition enough. I think that should come with fitness. Had he been more mobile out of possession I would have said a 7.5 + Against better teams we...
