Agree, wouldn't mind a loan for the CB or ST. But if the right player with potential comes up, then I'm sure we'll sign them. The CM needs to be ours though, I feel.

So if he goes, we get another £2m, plus at least £2m+ we must have already got from Vik's add ons for his goals and winning the league, circa £2m prize money from the cup. Plus cup gate receipts... Even without Vik going as well we must be close to breaking even on our transfers, and we've...

I don't think it's going to matter who starts and who doesn't in the wing positions next season. We're going to have 4 good options and Robins will play whoever is freshest to keep our high tempo up He'll chop and change them all to keep them fresh. Kind of like he did in the League 1 title...

Definitely works, maybe change 'Sky Blues' to 'The City's on fire' Just rolls of the tongue better

It all comes down to the Overton window and it varies by country and perpetually shifts over time. In the UK, the window has been tracking further right over recent years, and is considerably further right than most of Europe. Even though in Europe the window is also shifting right. For...

I think he'll deploy the same trick he used in the League 1 title winning side, but with a different formation: Keep it tight for an hour with Shipley and Westbrooke at the top of the box. And then bring on O'Hare and Allen after 60 minutes. The influx of energy was too much for most teams. I...

There's an argument to be made that a small 'homely' training ground has helped us foster the close unit and team spirit that we've managed to build under Robins and Adi. If any of you have seen the '99 documentary on Amazon where United were still using The Cliff training ground (shit hole) and...

I agree he doesn't do it regularly. But I think he's capable of it, and it's more down to the role he's been asked/forced to play recently. Last season, because he's so good, Sheaf has to pretty much do everything, and Eccles helps out. Season before, it was to free up Hamer as much as possible...

If this is not the epitome of a defence-splitting through ball, then I don't know what is.

You won't put a goal in there, 'cause he will hear our prayers, Gimme, gimme, gimme a keeper from Sweden, He came to join the City, And we stuck him in goal Gimme, gimme, gimme a keeper from Sweden, He'll stop you from scoring, His name is Dovin.

If you're saving 160k over 20 years, please tell me you're investing it and not just sticking it in a bank account, as you'll barely keep up with inflation. Stick it in a stocks and shares ISA, invest in global tracker funds, SP500 etc. diversify as much as you see fit. General rule of thumb is...

The thing that thwarts Sakamoto's value is his age, he turns 28 in October. No doubt he's probably more than doubled his value already though, and could maybe get £4-5 million if he continues ripping defences apart at the start of next season. He's probably not worth selling though for that...

Yeah, as it won't make much difference fee wise, we really should try and keep him for one more season. It seems like everything has been building to this season and having a real good go with a fully adept squad. And as Sheaf has been integral to the journey so far, it would be good to have him...

I think if we sign BOTH Stamenic and Browne then that has to be Sheaf on his way. Not necessarily just one though, we could be using money from the cup run and any residual money from the Hamer deal to fund this one. Especially if the fee is heavily weighted towards add ons and a big 'if we get...

Direct train to Stansted from Nuneaton, can be pretty cheap when booked in advance/split tickets too. As long as your flight is at an ok time.

When will people learn. IF Robins does end up signing Rudoni, it will be because he thinks he has the right attributes, capacity to learn the system(s) we want, and the potential to improve his performances, output, and therefore, his value. We don't sign finished articles, we sign rough...

Can he play as a forward? I'm thinking maybe in a more false 9 Joel Piroe type role?

Average at 20 is very promising indeed!

I was 11 years old and at the peak of my football nerd stage in terms of knowing everything about other teams' players (I could probably name less than 50, current, other teams' players in the whole world now 😅). I was obviously heartbroken about my favourite player, Huckerby, leaving. But then...
