Sky reporting we are in talks. Moved quickly from Telegraph article. How do you convince a 20yr old to move to a club to be backup to their captain. I’m sure Tino could have stayed at Chelsea and be on more that he is with us. would be disappointed if this goes through, given he’s been out for a year, he is one of a few that should just not be for sale this season.

Given the gap in prices seem unlikely. Also given Tino left Chelsea because he wanted to play first team football is he after not even one full season of doing so, going to leave to be backup to Tripper?? I could see them going for KWP more given he can cover both full back positions.

It was always going to happen when we went to Hummel. I guess it would have been nice to have a modern twist on it but it seems to be a like for like replica

The issue was never going to be resolved when we are no longer a PL team or officially a Championship side, the issue has always been when we first made the approach..

From an Academy Director to Academy Manager at a L1 side. Sounds like a step down in role?

Joe Shields owes us one as well!

One that’s been linked with us previously. I think if we don’t use our city links to get a decent loan for the season it’ll be a real wasted opportunity, a lot of talent that will go out for game time next year

What’s the free kit creator you are using please?

It’s the shirt many would want, but the background image is lost on the red side and the logo doesn’t stand out enough so wouldn’t work from their perspective

3 goals in 46 for Stoke, he’ll fit in perfectly then.

Lost 3-1 today

So which city players do you think we will sign and loan this season? Harwood Bellis - Defence Doyle - Defence Borges - Winger Mcatee - Midfield Doyle - Midfield All been out on loan this season and unlikely to have a long term home with City

Like with most things, just because that’s the asking price doesn’t mean you just pay it. It’s a game of negotiation. he’ll be announced next week after the season is finished. Also, what would happen if Russell resigned in order to push through a move?

Yet another Man City link to the club. I wonder if we have some unofficial partnership going on with them? Too many links and ex staff and given we wanted their assistant as manager too, hmmm

I thibk that’s the biggest challenge tbh, this mentality we have developed, the soft underbelly to our team. We need some leaders and a bit of grit in the squad.

If it is it is. Allow him to bring his team in and he’s got all pre season to get them upto his style and level of playing. maybe give him a chance before moaning he isn’t good enough? He might just surprise you.

We have nothing to play for so it’s the perfect chance to give a few youngsters a chance. Payne, Doyle and Ballard need to be given a chance, either starting or 20-30 mins off the bench. Those we won’t be here next season have no purpose now, Moi, AMN and Walcott can be benched/given the weekend off. Walcott deserves to be given the send off next week but not so the others.

Thought it would be easier to have a separate thread for outgoings given there could/should be plenty leaving. bit early to be looking out loans out imo, players should be sold ideally.

New York City Games 90 - 40 wins (44% win rate) Nice Games 89 - 35 wins (39% win rate) Palace Games 74 - 22 wins (29% win rate)

Signed by those from SR. Martin is part of Southampton rather than SR

7 subs allowed to be named in Championship. I’d like too see 1-2 of them B team players to actually show them the pathway and give them a chance in games too

I can see the appeal of an experienced manager of an ex pro who had a successful career. You want someone who the players will respect and see what it takes to make it. something the last two managers haven’t instilled in the players.

Who do you think will be the first to jump ship and leave in the summer?

I work in finance and don’t agree with that at all. Promotions within are common and bring stability to a key area of the business.
