Dolman Block B Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 i hope everyone is right and this lack of key signings in all part of Del's masterplan. For me as the days pass by I am more concerned and fear for our defence in it's present form at Forest. If the defence is as it is right now then COX and BLACKSTOCK will have a fkin field day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Del was quoted as saying he was after a right footer but it didnt seem to bother him when picking Tangs over James Wilson last night. McManus's other qualitys are far more needed than the drawback of him being left footed in my opinion. I would agree with this. I know he didn't have the same obvious impact that Amougou had in that results didn't drastically improve, but I thought once McManus got match fit he was just as impressive as Amougou. Obviously wages are going to be an issue, but obviously Boro want rid and now we're down to the last couple of weeks of the transfer window you would have thought that McManus would contemplate reducing his wage demands in order to find a club where he would be an important member of the squad. Of course, we may not actually be interested! As for the left footed issue, nobody would be saying anything at the prospect of two right footers in the middle of defence. I am one hundred per cent sure that if Fontaine was right footed it wouldn't have even crossed anybodys mind to say 'Oh we should be looking for a left footed centre half'. I bet if you looked at every team in the football league this weekend, two thirds will have two right footed players at centre half! And as you quite rightly said, if McInnes thought it was crucial to partner Fontaine with a right footed player surely Wilson would have been an automatic choice last night.

samo II Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 About two weeks till the window closes, and two days till the first league game. Would be nice to see a signing (ideally a CB) by Saturday but I don't image that the odds of that happening are that high. With the likes of Millwall picking up free agents like Danny Shittu I wonder who we have in our sights who could be taking so long to bring in. My hope is that the reason it is taking so long is because it is such a decent signing, but this might be a little over positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see us being in for McManus not only does he want to stay and fight for a place but he was on the bench for the cup game. Seeing as it looks like that was mostly their starting 11 on the pitch unless they have a few injuries i guess hes not as far down the pecking order as last season.

Lrrr Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 agree with the above, reckon Mark Wilson will be signed on before Palace, and can easily see Wood coming here, he would know he's going to get a lot of game time if he comes here compared to other places, already knows players and the manager and would see that we're likely not as doomed as the media say which other players may look at who haven't been with us and may put them off.

Monkeh Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I thought Chris did Ok, and would be one of two strikers I think we will try and sign. Not sure what people expected when we were playing backs to the wall stuff, but he is a young lad, and fitted in well , and provides a different option. indeed and what is he 20? he can get better thats for sure, I don't seem him as a 20 goal a season striker but again city aren't a team renown for scdoring in the championship, We need to go back do the gary johnson route who is the only full time manager to get city to finish in the top 10 in this league and thats through hard working hard to beat tight at the back football I don't care if its not peoples cup of team I for would can do with out a season of looking over my shulder at the teams below us and get back to mid table for a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see James Wilson given a chance at centre half, but we certainly need another one in, and only having three senior strikers isn't ideal. I think we've brought in some good players (certainly no worse than the ones they've replaced) and, Cisse aside, haven't lost any of our existing good players, so I'm not sure how the squad is weaker. It's certainly smaller but after years of having a ridiculously huge squad it's nice that we were able to move a lot of players on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
