    Best City Signing

    Have been watching City for 35 years and whilst I have had many favourite players over the years, Steve Hunt, Hadji, Chippo, Big Mo, Robbie Keane, Terry Yorath, Jim Blyth etc the three that I wish we had today are Trevor Peake, Stuart Robson and Dion Dublin. Peake was a brilliant defender, read...

    will we be disappointed with our signings?

    Work on the theory we have no money, cannot afford anyone above Div One standard and you won't be disappointed. Also be prepared for Cranie, Clingan and Turner to be sold and be thankful if they are at the Ricoh at the start of the season. Be realistic and expect nothing and you won't be...

    waste of money signings

    Allegedly obviously - A lot of the signings during the Richardson / Strachan era were doen for individuals financial gain rather than for team building reasons. A few people made a lot of money at that time - team remained mediocre and steadily got worse. Many murky deals, middle men and shady...

    Favourite Sky Blue

    For me I love Jukes work ethic, never stops harrying and trying, now he seems to have found how to score I think he's going to have a cracking year. Haven't seen too much of him but I think Deegan could become a fans favourite if he stays injury free and establishes himself in the team. All time...

    Gary Deegan

    Having both Deegan and Turner back will be like two new signings - although I see Deegan more as a back up to Clingan. He is very much a box to box player and could prove invaluable next year.

    McCleish did not want King?

    I think McLeish finally threw in the towel because of the selling off Carson, Dann, Jerome, Johnson and Gardner and only allowed to get in free transfers to replace them with. Burke and King are good signings but without Dann and Johnson and with Carr retiring the bedrock of McLeish's team has...

    Jordan clarke set to sign

    Theres a lot of us experts on here, rating that player, slagging off that one but for me AT sees them every day in training and he has seen enough to commit the club to three year contracts for each of them - if they're good enough for AT they're fine by me.

    Nathan Cameron

    No lets not give him a chance - lets slag of a promising kid who's made a handful of first team starts and made a couple of mistakes. He has a lot to learn but he does have the raw talent to make a good player, a little faith, understanding and patience from the fans would be nice.

    Renew the fans faith...

    Don't quite understand the vitriol and dispondency - King was never going to sign and lied to the board about doing so - they reported what they believed to be true (more fools them for believing a man quite prepared to lie on oath in a court of law) - but realistically surely no one expected...

    Next Seasons Front Two Should be........

    Miller is a top player but v injury prone but one player who might be available as he never seemed to be in total favour with billy Davis is Lewis mcgugan. Think he would be ideal at the tip of the diamond, young, pacy, scores goals. Probably beyond our 57p budget but we can but hope.

    Marlons medical

    Did King actually ever come out in the press and say he was staying? No - we just have the word of one of our illustrious board members that he said it, maybe it was a passing comment or taken out of context or just a blatent lie by the club but before that statement did anyone realistically...

    Looks like...

    I agree with Jim's reading of the situation - Marlon happy with offfer but agent seeing if he can do a bit better. To be honest isn't that what an agent is paid to do? We may not like it but that's his job - Marlon can always say no to any offers he might come up with but its the...

    do you think Ishmail Miller...

    A fully fit Miller would be a fantastic player, unfortunately he seems to spend more time on the treatment table than on the pitch - perfect signing for us then. Would prefer Simon Cox here but thats never going to happen unfortunately.

    King still deciding future...

    Smacks of desperation to shift some more season tickets - nothing has been signed so there is nothing to report and nothing should have been reported until the deal was signed and sealed. It is very unprofessional of the club to put this on the offal and they will look very foolish if he turns...

    Kevin Phillips released by Birmingham

    A class act but not for 90 mins and for us it would not be a good investment as he would still command decent wages for cameo appearances - still rather have him coming off the bench than waster Freddy or Platini.

    Players not signing.

    Why are these kids being blamed - they have been offered contracts, and who are we to say if they are good or bad offers, and are doing the sensible thing, weighing up all the options. I am sure their agents are simply doing their job and seeing if there is anything better on offer elsewhere -...

    Roy O'Donovan

    Wonder if it might be Platt - cannot see him fitting into AT's style of play. Know we have had to offer him a contract extension but sure we would be happy to let him go on a free.

    Clubs Accounts

    I think its obvious that whilst the board members were on their way to their meeting with the council about buying the Ricoh they put the accounts in the glove box of the Brody's car after one of the many games he has watched and forgot they were there - easy mistake to make. No drama - all...

    Andy Thorn to release 5 players

    Quirke - AT and Oggy obviously rate Ireland higher - little I have seen of Ireland I would question this but they are the experts and see them on a daily basis. Cant afford to keep two young back-up keepers, also I really do feel that Quirkes lack of stature will count against him. O'Halloran -...

    I have managed to get a ticket and will try reporting back on here during evening but are there any questions you would want to ask and if I get the opportunity I will try and ask.
