Topper 123

I keep saying since 2017/18 up till now we’ve spent est £70 million and sold est £125 million so come on let’s have a go at it and buy some quality, there must be ways around ffp how do these other teams do it bonuses, signing on fees , pay to play appearance money , lansdowns can’t be stupid even loan deals that are done off piste

Thank you

As people are saying other teams have to work within ffp not just us and the argument about wages pisses me off , the owners know what championship wages are we’ve been in this league long enough, every team has to pay wages and we all know about parachute payments just get on with it

For all those happy clappers out there take heed , for the top brass to come out with a statement like that “ we cannot compete “ shows that they expect defeat , well us city fans have had years of that and are fed up to the back teeth with being served up SHIT week in week out , we sell the Crown Jewels and then invest in Lidl , if you keep buying league 1 or 2 players we become a league 1 or 2 team we need quality weather from abroad or here , one minute owners say we don’t have to sell , then cop £25 million but can’t invest ? Does that make sense , let’s please get some owners in that have the FOOTBALL CLUB in the forefront of their agenda and not just buying investments in properties ie training grounds and pushing 17 year old under developed youngsters onto the pitch

That was dog shit to all you on here who slatted me for saying we need a big mobile striker I hope you were there to watch that limp pathetic attempt to win a game “ no guts “ no bottle , no idea and bell through the middle is a disgrace again no shots on target Pearson you really haven’t got a clue , I thought Preston game was boring but ffs that takes the biscuit and for our manager and owner to come out and say we can’t compete is defeatist to say the least , lansdowns if you can’t compete get out of the kitchen as I see a Newcastle United Mike ashley situation developing

Love hate relationship

Like the big bloke for Man City :laugh:

Hahahaha ffs

Joao Lucas would have been my choice and stated this last season before he came off the bench for reading to score against us . Was a free agent at start of season but recently joined Shanghai port abroad ,sort of strong player who has troubled us for years Sort of abuse I laugh at mate ?

Too big

Maybe there’s a need for another CB as well but again at what price or who’s available I don’t know looks like vyner is getting a lot of interest and still hasn’t signed new contract

Again REDS I’m not privy to the sort of information that points me in the direction of players available or a what price but that’s the sort of reply I’d expect from a doughnut on here

Long May it continue let’s hope we don’t get an injury between now and Xmas up top

Brilliant I know , if your happy with what we create then great I personally don’t think we create a lot and would like a mobile bigger forward so we are not bullied as was bell Saturday

1 on target

Yes salaries are a hit BUT most of the big earners are off the wage bill those that stayed are now on reduced and the players that have been brought in are not on big salaries - the wage bill has been massively reduced but every club has wage bills to deal with not just city

I think in the last 7 years ? It’s something like outgoings £125 million and incomings £78 million only going by Google transfer market usings tools available to check so yeh a shift of about + £40 odd million so yes I’d like a bit more player investment of quality

:laugh: Anyway what ever I’m sure players chosen will give us 100% commitment and let’s look forward to more shots than we’ve had in our first 2 games in league (3) and a bit more of that pace and skill that Pearson loves to see ( and us )

Is that in player investment or buildings and infrastructure because I believe we’ve taken more money in transfers than we’ve spent ,so yes invest a little bit more in recruitment but the right recruitment not some of the dross we’ve wasted money on . Maybe a couple of loans with the options?

Thing is could be Christmas before Conway back and weimann has been a great servant but hasn’t got the legs anymore

We’ll times have changed matey “ defensive lumps” are now athletes and move and turn just as quick as forwards and nobody is suggesting go long but at times it may be an option , haven’t our 2 league goals been going long ie long throws

Well let’s not bother then , seems other teams can do it ?

Mr lansdown it’s time you loosened the purse strings and allowed for a major signing up front,a forward who can hold the ball up and bring players in , a strong mobile forward who is a threat to other teams , we are one injury or suspension away from playing with a makeshift front line , poor Sam bell isn’t strong enough for the front line , Nahki wells get withdrawn after 60 minutes whatever he does ? We haven’t had a striker since big Dave so come on speculate to accumulate,Luton town did ok with a big man up top

Birmingham have sold 2500 tickets and are requesting more for next Saturdays game ensuring another bumper gate and great atmosphere at Ashton gate COYR

I’m driving up parking in and around old Kent rd and having a beer in first boozer
