Transfer Rumours City transfers - Summer 2017

I don't believe we do/ did. Many still are talking of capability of the squad to get promotion. Its NOT the owner's target, so won't happen. I hope we perennially avoid relegation until new owners come along. Wonder if even that is in their business plan/ aspiration ? We wont be getting back in Premier League under Allams. I can live with that, worst part for me is that we wont be Yorkshire's No 1 after 10 (?) unbroken years.

 

Denis, are you coming to Gay Pride event today? xx

 

Think leeds finished above us once about five or six years ago. But that's it.

 

Certainly am

 

What's relegation odds ???

 

Do you want to meet up? I'll message you x

 

Are you sure? Since 2007, we've either been in premier or got promotion apart from the season after our first relegation and I'm sure they were in div 3 (whatever it is called) that season?? Even the season before our first promotion, we avoided relegation to div 3 at their expense.

 

Didn't we play 3-6-1 in the actual final?
with Quinn in midfield and Fryatt the lone striker?

 

I'm pretty sure in 10/11 they finished above us. I was of the same opinion and was **** talking a leeds supporter but he called me out on the one season they finished higher.

 

I think the Allams will want to get their money back then they will think about selling

 

Leeds 7th
Hull City 11th

Pedant! I'm sure many play a forward dropping back into midfield, but 'officially' it's 5 in midfield.
Always puzzles me when I first got into football (was too young to notice at the time) it was 2 3 5. Englands world cup team is always listed as that, as is City's dream team of that era, but every game would have been 12 all if they played that.

 

we played a midfielder in midfield
that is not a 3-5-2
it's not like Quinn was playing "off" Fryatt

 

Ok.
Serious question..Do you think I will ever see us finish above them again? I'm 55 and relatively healthy

 

Although the Allams will think about selling I doubt they will be very good at doing that either

 

I've got a bit of spare time this weekend so I've decided to take my shirt back to get my name put on cos at this rate I'll get a game.

The only problem is I'm not superman and can't play 3 positions at once

 

yes, you'll have to wait until the Allam's sell up though

 

Ok, but the point was Bruce didn't understand 3 5 2.

 

I fear by the time they sell, we will be in the lower leagues and will take years to recover from (took us 100 years last time). if/ when Leeds do get promoted, I think they will become established.

 

I was just making a different point
it's laughable that a respected manager "doesn't understand" a football system
I think a lot of managers don't seem to put enough effort into playing the right players in a formation and style that suits the players though
they want to just get the best players on the pitch and quite often seem to let them do what they want
Marco Silver wasn't like that until he seemed to give up near the end of last season
