No you're right we shouldn't, merely highlighting that anything can and does happen in Football.

Depending on where you are based and how far you are willing to travel there are plenty of decent options. I have one myself, within my arm sleeve, it incorporates the City badge inside England's map. Happy Birthday!

I am sat on the fence slightly with this, does Hamer deserve a new contract with better terms based on his performances since he joined the club? Easily yes. Outwardly saying "pay him whatever he wants" is very dangerous. If you pay Hamer X then what's to stop other players either already here...

As I said all hypothetical, I'm not seriously suggesting Dele Alli, but talking this morning, how his career nosedived into a mountain from quite high is really appalling.

Throwing a name out there, quite random, but talking with someone at work this morning about his career downfall. Dele Alli? Could Mark Robins resurrect his career? Would you take him if he was willing to drop to the Championship? All hypothetical.

I've seen Leicester linked with him as well.

Gyokeres can sign for a club outside of England from the 1st Jan, on a end of contract agreement. That won’t cost any club outside of England a penny due to Gyokeres’ age. So he can sign for free, although he would see out the remainder of his current contract with CCFC.

I appreciate where you are coming from MMB, but keyword in your reply is "supposedly". There have been lots of interest for a while, but no concrete offers, only Sporting's offer up until now. It's early days, of course things may change, Sporting's offer could entice others to make offers...

To play hardball you've got to be in a good bargaining position and CCFC's position isn't great, especially when City could lose Gyok in six/twelve months time for nothing, if they chose not to sell. If we are going to sell it needs to be now, take the £15m or whatever it is and reinvest it...

Looking forward to this one. Great little ground, just at the top of the high street, Sidwell St. There is a train station about two mins from the ground, St James. Should be a great trip on what I hope is a sunny day in July.

As it stands we have 17 players listed as first team players. Take Kelly out as he is out of contract and not yet agreed a new one, you are left with 16. 5/6 quality additions would be brilliant IMO, I wouldn't go further than 8 though. 16 players were released between first team and U23's...

Of course it matters, there have been clubs interested for the last six/twelve months, how many have made a bid? Clubs will pay what they believe the player is worth, Sporting being a prime example with their first offer, being much lower than most fans expectations.

Big difference between Watkins and Gyokeres is that Watkins had three years (4th with an optional year) on his contract at Brentford when he was sold to Villa. Therefore Brentford could demand whatever they wanted as they were not under pressure to sell. CCFC aren’t in that position with...

Indeed he does, but IMO we won't get £25m for him. Would be happy to see it, but given Sporting's opening offer was less than half of £25m, it's clear clubs don't rate his value as high.

£15m - £18m IMO. Similar goals per game records as well. Armstrong a goal every 2.5 games for Blackburn and Gyok is getting a goal in every 2.3 games for us.

So what you are saying is to fill the gaps, you'd take 10 players that had the same qualities as players we have released because there are gaps to be filled. Over my suggestion of taking 5/6 players who you pay a little more for and are actually an improvement on what we had previously, i.e...

£25m for a player who has never kicked a ball in the Premier League and has one year left on his contract? No chance. Adam Armstrong was sold to Southampton with a similar contract length remaining for £15m (reported). City might get lucky if other clubs get into a bidding war, but clubs...

2 players going back to their parent clubs aren't released from us so it's 10 + 2 players we never owned. We need quality over quantity. Lets take Walker and Waghorn as an example, I'd take one striker with a better quality than two combined. If / When Gyok is sold then we can look at...

Only 10 players have been released up until now. If it stays at that 10 + Gyok, I am comfortable with the numbers needed in my previous post. I would add that they would have to be first team quality players, not fringe players.

Based on this we need. x1 RWB x1 LWB (permitting Bidwell goes) x3 CB x2 ST
