    Well if has shown anything, it is that he is flexible, even in individual games. Here's hoping he steps up nicely.

    Personally feel the opposite. All the teams that have went up and gone down all tried the possession game. We already know how to be dangerous without having the ball by playing on the counter. I think trying to go to a possession based system would be suicide imo

    Gray is the first link i've taken properly serious. Source is **** I know but it's the first one that really fits what we've been doing under Speakman. Maybe Blake as well.

    Singo, gray, blake, merlin all seem genuine to me

    the rest I’m not convinced

    Would love Singo but it feels a bit above our station. I do think a couple of our signings will shock people though. Merlin yeah forgot about him.

    Sounds like we are definitely after Singo, no idea if the deal gets done or not but buzzing that we are making a play for him

    Knicked this but…

    Dutch journalist quoted in this morning's Sunday Times eulogising about Henderson’s impact at Ajax this season.

    “Henderson was key to Ajax’s Eredivisie resurgence before they were pipped to to the title by PSV. His best games were against PSV and Feyenoord in the league. He was extremely important in the comeback season of Ajax for his defensive role and his dominance of the ball. His greatest attribute has been his leadership and creating a professional culture”.

    Ye, I think it might be not true all together the signing doesn't make loads of sense as I doubt he'd come in to the team immediately and we're developing Triantis in that position

    I’d think it’d be good business yes we need first team improvement but we to also keep buying great young talent and I think the only academy that has been more successful than city’s in recent times is Barcelona, gray won their u21 player of the year so id say bring him in if possible

    Nah Triantis isn't really a 6 imo, current we've only got Neil (and Jobe) who could play there.

    Triantis hasn’t been a 6 in Scotland so why would he be here?

    I like what I've seen and know about Gray. City academy players are always at worst competent on the ball, needs to bulk up a bit but has a good engine. Very good at breaking up attacks and recycling the ball. I'm in.

    does it not feel more of a championship signing? It does to me but admittedly that’s based on absolutely nothing than his age and his experience

    Didn't realise Triantis was playing as more of a box to box midfielder.

    I really like him, only seen him a couple times mind but stood out in those games. Definitely has the potential to be a PL player in the future, not sure he would make an impact immediately but you just never know

    He's highly rated at city but they don't hold youngsters back if they want to move on
