With the financial trauma going on in the confines of CCFC, some of our Sky Blues fans need to have a reality check. First, we're skint and cannot afford any 'big name' signings like our colleagues up the road, so the most likely scenario is a signing or two from the lower divisions at ,say, 25 grand a pop plus a couple of loan signings from the Prem. This unfortunately will be at the tail end, as most of the 'better' loans will have gone to established clubs with a lot more money and 'charisma'.
This will leave us with another okay team, but nothing to get us into any better position than we were last season. Scoring goals is what it's all about folks, at least scoring more than the opposition, and frankly we don't have that scoring ability now that King has baled.
The Duke and the Gypsy are not gonna fill that void, are they....honestly?
Even if, and it's still a very big IF we are bought out or further investment is forthcoming through SISU, it means it will be too late to do anything in this transfer window, so it will have to be January before we get anything worth shouting about. The question is under this scenario is can we be reasonably placed in the table to make a 2nd half rush.
All in all, we can expect another tough battle to be in the top three quarters (top 15) of the table in my opinion, but that, I think folks, is the reality of the situation.
Now I don't want to be unrealistic and would be the first to hope that my opinion is so wrong and we have a blinder of a 2011, but deep down and honestly, I can't see it happening.
