    Signing you are most looking forward to seeing?

    Kilbane, we need an experienced and composed player

    Do we have a better squad than last year?

    Depends when you're judging from. OUT McPake, Keogh, Cranie, Bigi, Clingan, Juke, Platt, Eastwood, Clarke-Harris ... Leave aside 3 loanees, if you wish: Norwood, Nimely, Hermann IN Malaga, Edjenguele, Kilbane, Fleck, Elliott + youth players and Cody On balance, I would say No. If, if, if...

    Louis Garner

    In the sonnet Shakespeare used it it makes sense. In current parlance it is absurd. Can't believe I'm discussing Shakespeare on this forum!

    Louis Garner

    No, it's not just you. I had to google it. Have to say that it depressed the hell out of me. I hate it with a fury.

    Keogh's leaving...

    Please face facts that Keogh will leave City fans. It happens every year and it will be a blessing if it isn't on the eve of the season ... Giving some false hope. We have seen it season after season. Disappointing but inevitable until financially the club is more stable.

    Forward

    No panic from me. Seen it over 40 seasons now. AT must bring in another goalscorer, whether a free, a fee or on loan, not bothered ... as long as it happens.

    william edjenguele

    Just call him Willo -o Reminds me of Paul Williams.

    Forward

    Only Cody, with ROD as back up... Not good enough. We need another goalscorer... No. 1 priority, or get used to a season of hard luck stories... We're creating chances, we just need to be more clinical, blah, blah, blah

    Thorn/Malaga:William Edjenguele on Trial, Steven Jennings doesn't play today+ Gary D

    Welcome the new Paul Williams! Looks better than anything we currently have, including Keogh!

    As predicted - nothing much has left, so are we 'strong'?

    I am pleased with the new signings and cautiously optimistic, but mainly because I feared we would be left with just dead wood and kids with no new signings, except more kids and deadwood. Having said that I think it is wildly optimistic to proclaim that the squad is better than last year...

    What could it look like with Jennings in it ?

    That wasn't the line up. It was Murphy Christie Keogh Wood Hussey Bigi Cranie McSheff Bell Juke ROD Yet again scapegoat Sammy implicated in a poor display... He was on international duty. For the record he was not playing in most our most shocking displays last season... Forest...

    Todays Squad

    Your point is an excellent one. However, in the scenario you suggest Kilbane would play centre half and Thomas centre mid. I think SISU believe the team that played at Southampton make up the squad. In other words the kids are very much part of the squad, like last season. The only...

    Todays Squad

    Sammy is wanted by Millwall and Brighton... 2 ambitious Championship clubs ... But not by the fans of a downwardly-mobile League One club which has a dearth of midfielders now. Scapegoat Sammy doesn't have the same catchy sound as Sideways Sammy.

    Mikael Forssell to Coventry City?

    IMO we desperately need another quality striker, or 2. In the last year we have lost King, Juke, Eastwood, Platt and Clarke-Harris (from the pool of youth players). Loanee, Nimely has gone too. We have brought in only Cody and Elliott ... Fleck is a midfielder, as far as I know. So, by my...

    Squad have turned up for pre-season training

    On the other hand you could argue that Clingan was more straightforward and honest and didn't mess the club about like King did... and possibly Cranie is too? He was straight about leaving and didn't hang about so we had to endure the, "Will he? Wont he?" malarky. Of course one's personal...

    Squad have turned up for pre-season training

    We don't have a player called Craine. CRANIE is next to Baker

    England v italy

    Our players cannot compete at tournaments in the summer months. Eg. Rooney need never be picked again for a summer tournament, he always looks completely shattered, worn out by the season's end playing for his club...nothing left in the tank. Premier league was introduced with the claim that it...

    New signings

    Minimum 2 strikers, but only one midfield if he relies on all the kids + a LB. Most important is 1 striker : BIg and aggressive 2 striker: strong and fast One must be capable of 20 goals a season.. Midfielder needs to be able to carry the ball into danger areas not just pass it...
