CityBoyz Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) We rarely do big business in January only one I remember us doing is headhunting Maclaren and if Transfermarkt was right paid a fee.

I think we should take advantage of our +1 AFC player for the ACL and bring in someone from japan or korea in fullback, their seasons just ended so I assume there is lots of free agents as city rarely go out and buy players If anything I would suggest that we are more likely to look for someone on loan rather than an ongoing contract. We've already got Bos, Hall and Stokes in the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymad Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Boss is a LB, Hall and Stokes are CB's. We need another RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr MO Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 (edited) After last night I’m convinced we aren’t going to repeat last season and come good later unless Leckie gets his groove back or some other spark - so what would we like to see from the Atkinson money or you think we aren’t looking at reinforcements?

Winning one title in a season where the other teams weren’t at full strength doesn’t satisfy me, hungry for consistent succes. Winning a second title in a row is harder than the first one.

Maybe some intra movement. we are only 6 games in and assuming we are just gonna become below 3rd, imo we are a better side than western, macarthur and victory, we just need to iron out some issues, imo everything which has gone wrong isnt due to lack of quality but more just being too casual, idk if this is deluded but i reckon we will stick get top 2 come the end of the season. 8 hours ago, Mr MO said: After last night I’m convinced we aren’t going to repeat last season and come good later unless Leckie gets his groove back or some other spark - so what would we like to see from the Atkinson money or you think we aren’t looking at reinforcements? we still have that +1 for the ACL in April, I reckon we look at Korea or Japan for a right back as we are currently short in that position, apart from that I cannot think of anywhere else that needs attention right now.

Nice, time for some unsubstantiated claims of inside knowledge and pontificating on how much each player earns. Not to mention that signing a paticular player from some paticular ethnicity will drive increased support. And who can forget the never ending discussion about what paticular position needs bolstering.

Mr MO Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Looks like we've signed a replacement for Atkinson, seems to be traditional fullback but is a visa player. Atkinson gave us a more attacking and creative impulse something we still really need. I cannot see a traditional RB solving this especially with Galloway being the least of our concerns at the moment. Should have used the cap space for another AM, RW player - Luna type and just gotten a local back up for Galloway for depth? I feel our midlfield is not making the difference in this season. We have the champions league coming up as well and we need to adhere to the 3+1 rule. We already have Berenguer, Pucci and Nuno and now Jenskinson - so one of these players is not going to play ACL, I'm puzzled so the speak!
