Agreed. But there are others. If there had been a poll in the summer on whether we should bring in Armstrong or say... Samuel, what would the result have been?

I'd rather have a good player for half a season than a dodgy one for a whole season. And... there will be other good young strikers at Prem clubs in January who might fancy a run out in a promo chasing team.

Yeah I wish we'd avoided the loan system and signed a journeyman striker instead of Armstrong. :whistle:

Do we bomb whenever the loan players are absent?

All we've lost out on is a bit of cash. We were never going to win the cup obviously, and a 6-0 thumping by a Prem team in round 3 would have done nothing for morale. For me, our eggs were always in the one basket and that's the basket we should be concentrating on.

No Tuddy? .........

Pressley will get found out when he starts to recruit. He wouldn't know a footballer if he was bitten on the arse by one!

I don't care if it is. We get to see JC in a City shirt. He will put bums on seats. He might even win us games. It's a win/win.

No. Never a manager... as will become apparent (again)

That's footy!

Tiiiiiiiiimmmmmmberrrrrrrrrr! :D

Time for a 3 legged City Players thread?

The last thing you want is a wasp on your cake.

His wife Eileen also had one leg.

There was Archie 'Timber' Hannigan, a goalie from the 30's. Used to lean against the post until required. At pens a team mate would stand next to him until the last second. His nickname was Timber because of what would happen if the team mate moved away too quickly.

A bit of a nob he may be but a failure he ain't!

Ah dammit! I see where we've gone wrong now... we should have signed great players like other L1 teams have.

It's working well enough for us to be 4th with a game in hand.

You mean like Ranson suggested? ;)

Agreed, ideally, loans only when there is no other option or if they are too good to turn down. (Cole) I do think though that if you are going to move away from loans you need to free up a bit of cash for fees to give you an edge over other L1 clubs.
