Tough, scrappy game. Neither side impress. Unimpressive lack of speed in transition from defence, despite Rushworth's best efforts. 2nd half improvement as Frank gives them a kick up the arse. Things improve further when Torp and Simms come on in the 70th minute. Late winner from Simms...

Genuine question but will a player bought in specifically as cover be significantly any better than Lati ( or Eccles for that matter). But we will have spent to get him in.

Can we just rename this thread 'Bedwetter Central' and have another thread for the Transfer window. Simms or BTA are cover for Wright. Buy anew striker and what do you do with Wright? As 1st choices, Simms and BTA are not good enough, but as squad cover they are fine. Frank and his team have...

More does not equal better. Maybe their teams were pretty rubbish in the first place. Ours is not

Absolutely no evidence of that last season. He was pants on the right wing, see also Posh chairman's comment and he should know. EMC is a great player but he's got to learn

You could not see the physical feature that would tell you whether it was Doyle or not - he has pro rata one of the biggest arses in football. In late middle age he's going to be enormous

sounds about the right price - maybe a million more

But he seems to lack that one big thing, the ability to make a goal by his own skill. Perseverance yes as at sheff wed but skill no. He could never do Vik v Sunderland away or millwall at home. Wright can do it. Simms looks good league one right now, toiling away but never quite in the right...

He is a right footed footballer paid a lot of money. He needs to learn to be mor versatile.

This requires no transparency at all. They are a privately owned business and it is their business. We are paying consumers not share holders. That is how business works. And confidentiality aka secrecy is very important. As a bluff to put pressure on frasers it is not very good because our...

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?
