Fielding Williams Flint Wynter ???? ???? 4 signings so far, all should be in and around the first team next season S O'D has done a fantastic job getting these in before pre season training starts tomorrow and before the transfer window officially opens on the 1st of July so who do you think will be next to be photographed holding up the shirt and interviewed infront of the Atyeo?? Reeves?? Adams??
probably the next keeper. Things will go quiet now. I go on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow and ill be surprised if we have signed anybody in that time.
I wouldnt expect anymore now until they see if they can off load players as the wage budget which was said to be high would be even higher now with new players and none leaving but when good young players become available city had to either buy there and rhen or wait and see them join over clubs. So far it is all positive signs and hopefully in the coming weeks we will see more ins and out. Would still love to see a McIndoe style player come in
Adams NO Reeves possable it depends on if there is interest in Cunningham We are going to have to try and shift a couple of well paid bench warmers Killa and Fonts but as Foster has terminated his contract that leaves us enough wriggle room to bring in a couple more youngsters. Cover for the keeper and an additional striker plus another RM are still needed as we are almost certain Albert will be leaving just a matter of when to whom and for how much.
There are strong rumours on Twitter that we are about to sign Simon Church on a free, and potentially Basso.
NoooAlso Sean just gave an interview where he said the two trialists were for the development side but had to be good enough to challenge for the number one spot Basso fails on both counts. Simon Church could well do a good job for us not a prolific goal scorer but can lead the line as they say making goals for others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Church
I've heard a lot of negative things about Church, but a lot of the teams apparently in for him are Championship teams, so it might not be all bad. He could probably do a job in League 1. I'd love to see us sign Dave Kitson, not just because he's a decent talent, but because it's widely believed that he is "The Secret Footballer", so it'd be good to see if he writes anything negative about his current board/management.
I am no great fan of the man but his goal scoring record under (pretty much 1 in 3) suggests we are not talking about the same bloke... Years Team Appsâ (Gls)â 2001â2003 Cambridge United 102 (40) 2003â2008 Reading 135 (54) 2008â2010 Stoke City 34 (3) 2009 → Reading (loan) 10 (2) 2009 → Middlesbrough (loan) 6 (3) 2010â2012 Portsmouth 68 (12) 2012â2013 Sheffield United 33 (11)
1 in 3 for a striker who is 33 y/o and 20-30 grand a week, not to mention his apparant dreadful atittude If we bring in DK all the positive steps we made in the last few months would of gone to ****
