Not sure why Philo is getting some bad press on here. Football is a short career. A top player can last for say 15 years, 16 tops...Unless your name is Ronaldo...Make hay while the sun shines...When the sun goes down and its gone you don't want to look back and say if only I'd taken this or that opportunity. If you get the chance you take the opportunities...The one club man is very rare, unless you play for say a Citeh (e.g. Foden) or a Real Madrid, when it doesn't make sense to move on. Therefore I can't see City stopping any player who wants to go, as long as the deal is good for the club.

I always felt when we signed him, which was an excellent deal by the way, that he was going to be a one season player with the view of him having a good season and then selling him on for a good profit. It looks as if this is turning out well IMO.
 
Not much going on yet regarding incomings, but that’s fine. We are less than a week into the transfer market and I imagine we’re waiting to see how much money we have by selling one or both of the big guns. I also believe the next 2-3 weeks are where most of it will happen, just in time for the friendlies. TWT.

Anyway, question while we’re waiting (sorry if this has been discussed already)

If you were in charge and had a transfer budget of £35m, how much would you spend at most, on Liam Delap?

The reason I ask, is because I’ve just read that Man City want £20m. Seems a lot for a player who hasn’t been a proven goalscorer yet (though his quality and potential are obvious).

I’ll start: £15m

Man City are wanting 10m.

The window didn't open 1st July by the way, we're far more than a week into it.

There are a lot of bed wetters on X going into melt down about no news on signings. Probably the same ones a while back saying we should keep news under wraps until they are concrete rather than speculation.

I prefer us being under the radar than heaps of rumours flying about.

I haven't seen the comments as I don't follow the comments on Twitter, but tbf there's good reason to be very concerned. Does that class as bed-wetting? If so, I guess I'm a bed-wetter then.

Pre-season training has already been underway for a week now. The season starts in exactly 5 weeks time. We fly to Turkey in just 10 days time for the training camp and have a couple of high profile friendlies coming up. Not so bothered about the outcome of friendlies obviously, but I'd rather not see us be an embarrassment. That and the fact that we're almost certainly going to be playing massive catch up due to the sheer scale of the rebuild needed.

I know that several Championship clubs also haven't made signings yet, but I doubt there are any clubs in our division, maybe in the whole football league, that are undergoing a rebuild, both on and off the pitch, as big as ours.

I'm sure a lot of work is going on behind the scenes but it is eerily quiet, which can be argued a good thing but can also be a tad unnerving.

Dianne Abbots back, she's gonna be the Mother of the House whatever the **** that is.

The fact she's involved in any current sitting government is just mind blowing. I have no doubt she's been great for her local constituency, but I hope to god she doesn't get anywhere near anything important on an national or international scale

( Sorry mods )
 
So Giles (maybe) going
Greaves definitely
Philogene definitely
Longman likely
Who else.
Lokilo hopefully
Fleming likely
Sinik hopefully
Will need around 15 players at least
