I haven't even seen rumours.
Warnock's going on about the summer window and being backed. So I can't see anything significant happening now.
I am not particularly confident in the current crop and our strength in depth if our form nose dives.
Bristol City were flying at one point now look at them.
Not that I think that'll happen, but who knows.
No
cool
We could spend 50million and not go up this season, and we don't look like going down either, so there isn't really a big incentive to splash the cash.
I suppose the other reason to buy players is to get a few more bums on seats, which we could do with
I hope we don't spend another Penny and use for promotion in a year or 2
Oh right!!......... Absolutely no chanceQuote:

I can't understand why Warnock felt the need to go and ge another 'keeper. Murphy was doing OK and Amos would have been alright until end of season. We needed strengthening elsewhere. I expect McGregor is ion big money as is Amos, so why have 2 of them. We're stick with Amos now for the res of season as he's on a season long loan and Bolton won't want him back. Th wages would have been better spent on an outfield player.
Warnock has signed McGregor on loan, Halford who looks not up to it is unfit, Bamba who's been OK, Hoillet who's been OK but gets substituted in almost every game he starts, Chamakh and Richardson both of whom mad no impact. The players out are Immers and a bunch if youngsters. Mind you a lot could happen between now and the deadline, although thus being City I doubt if it will

Ideally but I don't even think that's essentialQuote:

Aston Villa have signed at least two players who are looking like they'll be key to a title challenge next year. I imagine there are others out there who could do similar for us.Quote:

Indeed. We circumvented them ourselves when we were under a transfer embargo and KV Kortrijk (proprietor V. Tan Esq.) bought Kenneth Zohore for a million quid then immediately loaned him to usQuote:

Doesn't look as if any are going to be leaving if you believe Warnock. No enquiries for anybody at the Club.
The club should be trying to finish as close to the top as possible instead of just trying to survive.
Looks like another nothing season and we have had plenty of them.
We don't need to i think we have enough from now to the end of the season.Quote:
