del boy

Just about did enough. Too many players going through the motions for my liking, didn't see much urgency

me too - I'm happy to admit

another one for the "points lost from winning positions" column

and me - easy points

Having to bring him in shows how bad things have become

You'd think they would know that Aguero shouldn't be left alone in the middle of the penalty area?

City will have had harder games against the cones on the training ground

Only 1-0, Leicester had 3 by now

5-4 then!

I'd take a draw

BBC "New signing Erik Pieters flings a delightful ball to the back post and Barnes is there to guide it home unmarked on the volley"

and we've known that since.....?

Hear hear! (in desperately sad whimper)

I can't believe we're going into the first game of the season without a new CB (he says, unaware of the last-minute cunning plan that will shock everyone) Oh, wait a minute, yes I can, it's like every other window The outscoring the opposition tactic seems quite high risk, and not something we've pulled off for a while now, but in Ralph we trust COYS

you're right to advise minimal excitement. I seems like Saints had a scout at a match in which the lad was playing. On that basis we're on the trail of several hundred others as well at the moment - although the boy does seem talented, young and hungry I like the novel transfer related post on this thread though - so bonus points for that!

sounds perfect, sign him up and we'd only be one CB short of a decent defence

scuffed it

that might be tricky at the bookies

You're right ....its much more important, but I'm sure Ralph knows that

x2 please

haha, as if All we get here is regurgitated stuff from the NewsNow stream. Then, to confuse the issue, someone will decide to make a name for themselves by starting a whole new thread based upon one name who might or might not be coming/going We still keep looking here though, don't we? ...probably in desperation ....for a proper CB!! please!! On a serious note, I'm hoping that we have a proper CB lined up and ready but need to make a sale or two to free up the money required - let's hope its soon

I can - they're not CBs

100% agree ... let's hope the wait isn't in vain

ah....Summer transfers - and so many threads to choose from. Still no CB though

CB and CB
