Anyone any idea what Man City's plans are for Doyle & McAtee who did so well at Sheff U last season?

It kind of depends how much bidding clubs are offering though. If it was for arguments sake £3m we might be better off keeping him for the season and risking him walking away on a free in 12 months time. £10m+ though, then yes we would be stupid not to cash in if he won't sign a new contract.

He looked pretty similar when I saw him play for MK Dons (box to box player, takes set pieces, scores goals), but even if not we need to replace Hamer we would need someone impactful like Twine.

Where do we think Sakamoto fits into our team? On today's evidence we would leave ourselves wide open defensively if we play him at WB against Championship quality teams, and he doesn't look big enough or strong enough to start in midfield. It is only first impressions I know but it strikes me...

He will be near impossible to replace realistically. The best I can think of that we might have a shot at signing is Scott Twine, but for the moment I will cling on to the hope that Hamer will stay for one more season with us.

Having seen todays game I would have thought Wilson will start if fit, with the back 3 the same. I can't believe MR will play our wing backs so far forward at Leicester, and I think Van Ewijk and Bidwell are a more solid option than Sakamoto and Da Silva. Please don't sell Hamer as we are so...

If this is true hopefully a good foil for Simms. Think we will definitely be playing 2 up front this season.

Got a feeling he will start on the bench, as do many versatile players.

Dare I mention Leigh Jenkinson?

That's an exception rather than the rule. How many other PL loans have so far joined Championship clubs that we would have wanted?

Was David Smith not a winger then? Plenty of youtube footage to confirm he was, particularly from the start of his career before he lost his confidence playing under shit managers like Butcher who preferred him to play safety first.

There's about 5 weeks left to bring them all in. The best PL loans will not be available until after the season starts and for the sake of a couple of weeks I would rather we bring in better quality than just bring in inferior players to pan out our squad in time for the Leicester game. Would be...

A really top player, and always came across as a nice guy. Often wonder how our fortunes might have worked out if we had signed him instead of Forest.

If home fans can pay on the gate there is no way they will turn anyone away unless you are acting like an arse.

He's probably good on Football Manager. I'm sure many of the wannabee ITK's make up their rumours from that source.

Would be a great signing, and a real signal of intent if we did bring him in. Simms and Maja could be a real strong pairing, and with Godden as back up I would be very happy with our forward line. Must temper that with the likelihood that this rumour is likely to be baseless though!

I presume Southgate won't be picking him for England anymore then!!

As Shmmee has commented McNally was part of the defence that fell apart in Fadz's absence last season. Although he was otherwise excellent for us in the right centre back position, I think Hyam is physically stronger of the two and therefore much more suited to a central role. Its pretty much a...

McNally was better of the two for us as a right sided centre half, but as a possible replacement for Fadz in the central role then Hyam would have been a better option, and this was the role I think MR saw him moving into in due course before he was sold from under him. I think we are unlikely...
