If every new signing goes straight in at number 1 we could be having a good summer My league ladder table has been updated accordingly.....

Thanks for thinking of me. That is ok. Just glad I had the sense not to boo Lee Johnson when he was appointed before a ball had even been kicked under his managerial reign, even though the boo would have been aimed at SL who is funding these exciting signings! Cmon, admit you might have been a tiny bit wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southvillekiddy Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Brilliant signing in so many ways. Take my hat off to Johnson and Ashton. They've shown they can bring an excellent Premiership quality player to City, others including Tomlin should follow. So LJ has overturned one of the key objections to his appointment already.

The exact experience needed, well done MA. He will indeed be an excellent mentor for Pack. O'Neill is everything that Pack can go on to develop into. Hopefully Marlon is more grounded than Colin and realises that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on nothing other than intuition, he signed a 3.5-year deal in January and after a bright start Afobe hasn't hit the headlines, they could conceivably lose Wilson this summer and Glenn Murray is getting older every year. I'd be surprised if they let him go, especially after how well his first spell there went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I think what's especially pleasing is central midfield was a bit of a weakness last season where, if Pack or Smith were out, we needed to bring Bryan across to cover. We've now got 4 good options including one with the experience we were maybe lacking without Wade and one promising youngster. Work to do on the defence still but we're starting to look much more able to compete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Whatever happens, we must sign three of four players who play in the same position e.g. left back. You CANNOT have too much left back cover. Thank you. Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 This signing also has the benefit of encouraging others who are thinking of coming here, if they see someone of O'Neil's stature signing it has to be a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in some type of coaching role with the u21s in the near future. This is a great signing, on paper he's a step up from Elliott with his experience, and a brilliant replacement for him too. We missed that leader in the centre after Wade retired, I can see O'Neil being a central figure, maybe even captain for this coming season. Statement of intent from the club? Certainly has the makings of it, but it is going to take a few more signings before we'll be able to tell. I would think it will certainly make potential signings think twice before saying no. Well done all involved in making this happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Cracking signing and happy with two year deal. No fee so even if he's on 15k a week it's a good deal. The two years would have clearly secured the deal as I expect Norwich only offering a year. Only a right back, centre back, Tomlin, striker and keeper needed!

The two signed so far, plus those 5 is 7, I reckon the 8th is a winger of some sorts and that would roughly be the 8 he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
