EnderMB Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 No time to relax yet! I'd say we still need improvements in midfield, at left-back, and maybe in goal. Also, bear in mind that LJ wants to get rid of a few, so we'll need to buy improvements where gaps are formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 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.

harry may Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I still think we need a midfielder in the Marvin Elliot mould. We are just too nice .

Alessandro Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 2 hours ago, bcfcchris2016 said: Probably the reason why City is now signing players from abroad all the time. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Not bothered about a new keeper unless they're actually better than FF.

Spike Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 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.

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
