    A prelude of what was to come for David Seaman! First Speedie, then Nayim and Ronaldinho later in his career.

    Willie Carr and Tommy Hutchison for me.

    Transfer targets

    Kipre and Kaba are good shouts, I've mentioned the latter on another thread. A wing back that might be worth looking at is Ethan Laird. Not a great season last year with QPR, but he looked really good previously at Swansea. Got a feeling BNC might come back though - I think MR rates him. Looks...

    Strikers that could replace vik

    How about Sory Kaba? Spent the 2nd half of last season at Cardiff and seemed pretty impressive to me.

    Signing Loanees Permanently

    Are there many examples of big clubs loaning out players to the same team in consecutive seasons? I can't think of many, which is why I'd be surprised if City loaned us Doyle again. I wouldn't be surprised if they loan him to play in Bundesliga next season. I think it more likely we permanently...

    Next Best Thing Then...

    Agreed. Daz has always come across as a good guy all the way back from the GMK days, never getting involved in petty squabbles and being positive about the City. His tipping has always been awful mind you :)

    Final Tickets Thread. Yessss

    My daughter works for Mars and has her name in a draw for tickets through them on Wednesday, so there must be other companies like that through which people can access tickets. 17,000 seems an awful lot though, so I'm guessing a lot of those normally find their way to touts, as I can't imagine...

    So where exactly are the 17,000 neutral seats and who will be occupying them?

    How many season tickets

    We averaged nearly 35,000 in our first season in the top flight in 1967/68, so we won't be beating that. Should certainly beat our highest PL average though.

    Transfer targets

    If we are looking abroad the Japanese/ Korean market looks to be a potentially good one. Caught a bit of the Brighton/ Arsenal game last week and Mitoma looked a hell of a player. I believe Celtic have successfully targetted signings from that part of the world too.

    Just how much did our shocking start cost us this season

    I tend to agree the the back 3 as of now are as strong a unit as we have had since the PL, and stronger than a fair few we had in the PL. McFadzean has been the crucial cog though in that. McNally and Doyle are great prospects, but are both better by playing alongside McFadzean. Hyam is and was...

    Thread for those looking for final tickets

    Don't give up. It looks like some tickets will make general sale tomorrow so hopefully you can still get them directly.

    Transfer targets

    If we do get promoted Manning is the sort of player we should go for. Instead of current PL players I would rather we try to pick up the best from the Championship who are likely to have more hunger and upside about them in terms of sell on fees.

    Best thing if we go up

    Add in Cyrus Christie, Callum Wilson and Jordan Henderson too ;)

    Lauti to Wembley and Cefovid Uganda

    It will cost but see if he has access to applying for Super Priority visa. If there are any doubts over whether he will actually get issued a visa try to get an MP to support his application, stressing the charity work he does in Uganda etc.

    Wembley Access

    Sorry about your dilemma Shmmeee. My son also has a problem in that he broke his ankle playing cricket last month and is on crutches. His walk to the ground is going to be a test, while his ticket at the moment is up in the Gods so am hoping they have a lift he can use to help.

    Penalty Takers

    Everyone miss my post from yesterday showing that Maguire has a 100% penalty record (8 from 8)? In order of preference if on the pitch would be Godden, Maguire, Gyokeres, Walker, Eccles, Hamer, Sheaf, Kelly then its prayer time. Also Wilson has a lousy record at saving them. If it comes to pens...
