We leak goals and we score goals. Lampard is following the numbers and working on the defence. Simples

Faster than McFadz and more skillful than McNally but hey whatever.

I thought Doyle the best central defender the City have had for quite a while (Big Mo maybe). And a really good passer - that ball to Vik against Millwall. Precision. #10m is over the top but it's a negotiation. There may be better in the market for less, but who? Central defence was my number...

I can see post up on post of mea culpas coming up if either Bauer or bamford sign "I thought (enter name) was a crap signing but am happy to eat humble" ... or something like that The Waghorn Exemption does apply though.

Two of those are on deals that make them almost impossible to shift. Who wants a crap goalie? Why should binks give up so much salary?

For personal financial reasons, Binks and Collins may have a strong incentive to stick around.

I suspect the odd construct of the binks deal, which may have looked like a good idea at the time when we thought we were investing in a future talent, makes off loading very difficult now we have concluded he is actually a likely dud. It is probably in binks' financial interest to go right...

We don't have the financial backing sufficient to buy our way into the top 2. We want permission to buy a ticket for the play off lottery. Have we done enough so far in the window to give City a fair shot at positions 3-6? Almost certainly not, only if our rivals fuck up - which they have...

I'd always keep Eccles and Lati as squad players. In the Championship top players are not going to be happy warming the bench, so you just have to accept that squad players are inferior. The only argument is just how inferior? Da Silva, Lati and Eccles make the cut, Collins and Wilson don't...

Do we underestimate just how desperate Frank Lampard was for a job?

Is the pace hotting up finally? Vik money / Rushworth loan / Sheaf out / MVE out Love us to lose a goalkeeper, get a centre half and buy this Peirera guy Don't share the obsession with strikers

2 out of 2 ain't bad

team of strangers.... Worked for Jimmy Hill in 1963 - five new forwards Worked for Bobby Gould in 1983 - a whole new frigging team

This must be a case of buy in and sell for a chunky quick profit in 12 months. We are collecting goalies like we used to collect centre halves
