    I'd go for Bamford, even if it is another loan.

    He's proven with both Derby and Boro he's cut out at this level, and he won't get in the Chelsea side whatsoever.

    Just dont pull some foreign player out of the hat who will need time to adjust to the physical demands of our game. Get someone who's been here awhile and take a risk on a lower league player who is either a right big **** or is fast as ****.

    I can see Brucey going to his scouts, 'Right lads get out there and find me a right big **** or one that's as fast as ****' haha

    Turnover is turnover, you don't file accounts showing turnover minus bits and bobs.

    Don't understand accounts but why did the HDM state on 5/12/13 "City’s turnover for the whole of last season was £11,075,152 ." and also the signed off accounts.

    One player I wouldn't mind is Nahki Wells from Huddersfield, I think he's got a decent burst of pace and he's a good finisher. Actually, he only got 11 goals season, so he's going to be a write off. Not a striker at all. Forget I said him.

    Bamford would be awesome, but I can see Jose loaning him to a PL club to see how he handles himself.

    I'd take any of Guidetti, Wilson or Brown (at Chelsea), they're all goalscorers and great talents.

    ... Bristol City and, although I have to say it through gritted teeth, Forest, to be surprisingly competitive in the promotion race ... if you can keep the spine of your team Dawson, Thud (despite him having rather a poor season this time around) and Jelavic plus the likes of Elmo, Robertson, McShane and Brady ... then I think you are rightly favourites...

    I dont think outsiders realise how bad Hudd is. I genuinely cant see him getting it back, once the hunger goes thats it. He's gone. Now if we can just persuade someone to take him...

    Was interesting listening to Rh speculating that after playing well last season his head dropped after he didn't get into the England squad and players like Cleverley( sp ?) did.

    ... I make the point because he has the innate ability to carve championship defences apart with his range of passing ... his motivation etc is another thing ..

    To be fair, my confidence was shattered when Cleverley got into the England squad ahead of me.

    You do have to wonder what is said about these players we scout from abroad. What did they see in Hernandez and Proschwitz? It's obvious from just watching either of them for a few minutes that they haven't got the balls. Who decided they'd be able to cope with big English defenders?

    I could forgive him been a bit of a fanny if he was lightning quick but I never once saw him outpace anyone, mebbe Gareth Barry but I could outpace him

    You don't tell Assem Allam how to write his accounts. Turnover doesn't include parachute payments or profit on transfers. They're shown as exceptional items.

    I think if we can keep snoddy, Diame and Ince then there's 30 goals in them alone. Sign gestede as Bruce likes him and get a loanee in from one of the big boys and we will score regularly

    Diame whinged all the time whilst being at West Ham ffs.

    Massive culture shock for him in store next season.

    Well he's just gonna have to buckle down. The allams may be rubbish owners, but they won't sell a lot of our best players unless big offers come in, we're not in a qpr situation

    No
    No
    Ighalo will play in the PL with Watford
    Vydra " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
    Grabban will play in the PL with Norwich

    It's worth considering that this is the last chance for players in the PL to prove themselves worthy before the new TV money kicks in, I'd guess there'll be a lot of players preferring the top flight this season.
