Come on. This is City. We all know it can be.
Suspect there'll be quite a bit of turnover again, to be able to strengthen and trim the wagebill at the same time. Recruitment really is going to have to be sharp.

I actually think we recruited quite well in January all things considered. Gelhardt & Egan made valuable contributions, Matazo looked good until his injury, Crooks although in and out of the team came up with some important goals. Jury still out on Joseph but I still think he has something to offer. Lincoln was probably the disappointing one.
You should post more often
You always post such good stuff
And i agree
Our seasons completely diff if matazo and barry dont get season ending injuries
Gelhardt and egan were great
Crooks seemed to majorly struggle with fitness but even then
All 3 of his goals were ****ing vital
Joseph cost too much though for what i think is a league one player
I quite like Lincoln again he is another that come in with team under pressure I don’t think he has had the chance to play as he would like, hopefully he will get a chance next season as he will have a preseason and maybe show what he can do, he also likes being at the club and wants to stay unlike Giles as an example.
its likely boro sack carrick
and anyways there's no way they buy giles
we are stuck with him unless we give him away
If we can’t sell him then he will have no choice but to up his game if he wants game time but more likely he may go on loan again if no one wants him,me I would check Joseph in that role.
im stil annoyed we gave longman away
he's such a good versatile player at this level with guaranteed goals
Opinions many did not like him he always seemed to do better at other clubs than here.
I thought he was a loan, didn’t realise we had him permanently. He just isn’t quick enough to be a winger imo.
he's no world beater
but he's the sorta quintessential championship player every squad needs
he is on loan
but that makes me curious
was he fast before his acl?
cause now hes slow as ****
i hope he wasnt fast before, as now im worried about millar and belloumi
That’s how we play him but he is an attacking midfielder and maybe he should get a chance there he could be lethal putting balls through to open the play it’s if and buts but whoever is in charge preseason will probably look at how they all play and decide to give him a chance there if he is still here.

Agreed. What I think is worth mentioning, Selles made a point in January tranfer window of only bringing in players that want to fight for the cause. Gelhardt, Crooks and Amrabat play like they give a damn. Crooks was the first one to go to the away end after the match today, he cared. Barry and Matazo were great incomings, it's a shame they got injured. He deserves to rebuild with players he deems fit, quality and mentality. Also worth menitioning, Selles had to tell the lads to join and celebrate. It was almost fake and forced by some of them, that was very telling.
you said kamara didnt join them though
so not sure what you mean by fake or forced if im honest
Strange to appoint a new head of recruitment if we're skint...
