And relax

Just for all those people sat at home not being able to sit still because "we haven't signed anyone" "where's the home kit" "why no friendlies" 

 

Relax everyone, the club has this under control. 

What a fantastically exciting day today has been!

Looking forward with optimism to the new season. Let's get behind our manager and team. COYR. 

Are you allowed to express such sentiments on this forum? :P

We only NEED a LB now, anything else is strengthening an already decent position. Good work to all at the club and roll on August! 

You may WANT a LB, but with Bryan, Golbourne & Magnusson under contract it is debatable as to whether we NEED one.

I thought nobody wanted to sign for us because Johnson is the manager :whistle:

Yep. We are SOoooo unattractive with him in charge. :) 

Probably the reason why City is now signing players from abroad all the time.

MUST : goalkeeper

IDEALLY: left back

WOULD BE NICE : right winger

PERFECT WORLD: box to box central midfielder 

also need to get rid of a few.  Hopefully Fielding, Reid, Golbourne, Tomlin.  Also GON if we sign a midfielder.

But the new home kit is vile!

We need a Goalkeeper, number 1 priority for me. At championship level Frankie is at best a backup option. Why too many unforced errors in his city time, and does not command his box.

 

Modern day keepers normally have to be 6ft 5 plus and good quality … that’s what we need right now.

Not the fact that a striker who scores 20+ goals in the second tier in this country commands a fee of double what we paid for FD.

Kodjia, Hogan, McCormack - £12m plus, Andre Gray - £9m two years ago, Dwight Gayle £10m, Jordan Rhodes £9m And only one is an international either. 

If he delivers his potential, £5.3m will look like peanuts if he fires us up or is sold for three times what we paid, ala Kodjia.

I still think we need a goalkeeper who is a signing of intent, as in he needs to be a very good goalkeeper for this level as that can make or break a team. I'd say we need a better left back and a RW/M and even then we'll still not have a lot of depth of quality. I don't think we're anywhere near where we need to be in order to improve upon last season.

De Gea, Buffon and Neuer all below 6'5''. :shifty:

Not bothered about a new keeper unless they're actually better than FF. We've tried to replace him a couple of times now and none of the guys we've brought in have been as good as him.

Exactly how I feel about Fielding. I'm happy enough if he is number one next season unless we get the opportunity to sign a definite upgrade.

That may be so, but shorter goalies can get to the lower shots easier. Frankie is superb at saving those. Also his reflexes are excellent. I would like him to stay as number one.

Just a proper right winger now in my opinion.

I'm a little surprised by these sort of comments. Unless I've missed something, this squad is currently one right back stronger than that which finished 17th last season and was under threat of relegation for an awful long time. And despite the money spent on Diedhiou, it remains unproven as to whether he is an adequate replacement for Tammy.

To my mind if we are to significantly improve and threaten the playoff places - which really ought to be the aim - I would hope to see a lot more transfer activity yet. If we do have that ambition then I would say a keeper, left back, central midfielder and right winger are almost essential, rather than "nice to haves".

Definitely see your point, but I think a couple of players really proved they have first-team credentials in the final 3rd of last season. BW, Paterson, Brownhill and Taylor all finished strong enough to justify being starting XI imho.

You are certainly in the minority. I think if we did sell him he'd be off to league one which says it all really

I think most on here thought that Mark Little wouldn't get a championship club but was snapped up quickly. I reckon Frankie would get a championship club just as easily.  Sometimes we  City fans under rate players at our club for example Cunningham, Ayling and Derek Williams (Blackburn player of the season I read somewhere I think).

Yes fair point, but I'm just surprised to see relative satisfaction on this thread and elsewhere, with a squad that has ultimately only been improved with a right back. I won't personally have great expectations for the coming season without further recruitment across the pitch.
