Transfer Rumours Colin's summer window

That was doing the rounds a few weeks ago. I didn't get it then either. Assuming Declan goes then we only have one specialist left back in the senior squad although Richards is not out of place there. Is there a good left back in the under 21 squad?

 

Don't know if there's any budding left back talent in the dev squad Bluey, but probably Declan was the best of the bunch.

Bennett and Richards should be OK for that spot on the left. Just don't play Peltier over there even in an emergency.

Can't remember the game but he got hopelessly out of position and kept wandering into midfield giving his winger acres of space.

 

Get your point but still like to see him given a chance even though if I suspect he'll move on.

 

Sky Sports says Danny Ward has been signed for £1.6m plus add-ons.

 

Better be good for that amount otherwise the kitty used on Eoin Doyle is going to look well spent!

 

Hopefully Colin saw enough of him while he was there to know he's worth it.

So that's just under half the kitty gone. More depending on the add ons which hopefully only kick in if we get promoted.

 

My answer to the following article involves sex and travel: -

Danny Ward signs for City.

Pleased with that.

Now for a gifted playmaker with some energy and pace to put him in.

 

Charlie Adam would be my first choice.. But he comes with a high wage bill!

 

Mentioned him a couple of weeks back when he became a free agent.

Would be a Warnock type of player but would come at high cost - I'm sure someone in the Prem will offer him more than we'd be prepared to lay out.

Not getting any younger either, but I'd take him in place Whitts at the moment.

 

Might need to ship someone out for good money to make room in the budget for him. See yesterday's Gunnar rumour.

Good news about Ward.

 

As much as I like Gunnar as a player and love his commitment and think he would be a GREAT captain for us, everyone has their price and if the price was right, I'd sell Gunnar if it meant getting in a couple of decent players in his place.

 

No problem with playing Adam in place of Gunnar if he went, but then we'd need someone else as well unless the wide men can create the openings. Mendes-Laing, Kadeem Harris and Callum Patterson could do that.

I see Ward as being someone a bit like Tony Watt - he'd need to be put in through the middle or feed off a target man from out wide.

All very interesting which way Warnock is going to stack it.

 

I hope we play 2 up front. Ken and Danny partnership could work nicely.

 

The system in the main will be a 433 / 451.

Gunner needs to sign a new deal or be sold. Hopefully he signs up.

Ralls and Gunner have their spots nailed down in the centre. Id expect 1 more signing to slot in there with them.

1 more quality central midfielder and id me more than happy that we are ready to go and challenge from the off.

 

I know Warnock is a big fan of the 4231 or used to be anyway so i'd say that we'd line up with gunnar and ralls in the middle and adam just in behind the striker be that zohore or ward with one of the plethora of wingers we have now on either side

 

Read today that discussions on a new contract should start with gunnar when he gets back from honeymoon.
Also that Colin wants him to play further forward.

 

I'm underwhelmed with our signings.

NW said he had his sights on 4-5 players. Question is are these the same as he's brought in it does he have a few aces up his sleeve yet to come?

Midfield looks somewhat thin.

Or is it dependent on more exits eg Pilks, Noone, Huws, Connell etc?

As it stands city's squad look good for top 10 but not top 6.

 

Huws to Ipswich.
