    That usually comes at a price, or is cost a factor to be ignored?

    Gosling only played 17 games
    Jones only played 6 games
    Stanislas only played 13 games
    Harte only played 4 games

    They have, as you can clearly see had a major contribution to Bournemouth getting promoted. Collectively managing 40 games between them.

    It is absolute nonsense to say Quinn just 'Runs about a bit'. As it is to suggest the players above had a huge impact on getting Bournemouth promoted.

    RWB = Right Wing Back. When Bruce plays a 3-5-2 formation the traditional RB responsibility does become the responsibility of the 3rd central defender on the right. Elmo does operate defensively - he's not the best at it. But he can certainly play that position. That's why we adopt 3-5-2 to accommodate Elmo and to have the 3rd centre half as security.

    I'm standing by to have my socks blown off, but I'm not hopeful. TWT

    Bologna are allegedly in for Hernandez.

    Sky have apparently said we've made an approach for Whittingham from Cardiff(I didn't see it myself, so it could be bollocks).

    I've just seen some rather depressing numbers on Twitter...

    We currently have 23 senior players, four of them are injured, at least three of them are expected to leave, one of them is suspended indefinitely and three of them have never made a league appearance for us.

    We've a fair bit of work to do.

    Whittingham would be a great signing, if of course there's anything in it. I'll check with my contacts at the snooker club. TWT as always.

    Can we just stop banging this drum about Quinns assists?

    Two of them were corners and the other was his usual simple 5 yard pass in midfield from which Diame took it and absolutely belted it into the net away at Newcastle, Quinn can hardly take credit for that and corners aren't exactly evidence of 'craft and guile'.

    All three also came very early in the season.

    He's not as good as Quinn. **** signing if true.

    He passes too far, shoots from too far out, he even plays balls through a defence. We don't want that sort of risk in midfield.

    Injuries shouldn't be in that stat, we don't need to replace injured players, unless they're Anthony Gardner sort of injured.

    I believe that significant City transfer happenings when they occur, (not rumour and chat), deserve dedicated threads and should not be mixed in with all this miscellany, is this in order or not.

    Generally, when we actually do sign someone, a new thread gets started(in fact, normally, about ten threads get started), the thread is then merged into the transfer thread later, once it's common knowledge.
