Paul, Slade,had agreed terms with a midfield player only for the fee to be the problem, it will all come out as it always does,but then when it does some say why bring it up now.

In a straight and honest answer Slade told only a couple of people and that would get them in trouble for telling us
Slade lost the plot when we put out about us signing Ameobi from Newcasle and Quinn from Hull and we revealed they had met Slade ,

I'd like to see Tommy O' Sullivan given a chance. He's had a loan spell last season so was hoping he'd push on this season obviously our Russ doesn't seem to want to give our youngsters a chance. At least Ole was giving our youngsters a taste in the cup games last season, all that seemed have stopped now the bald wonder is in charge.

Yes most certainly. Apart from O'Sullivan who will probably never get a game, two are poor, so that only leaves three, and only one is an above average Championship player. We are crying out for class for a change.

Kavanagh is the only decent central midfielder we've had in the last 20 years. Or maybe even longer. The players mentioned here would never set the world alight.

Well, in your opinion would he have been any good for us had he signed? I'm assuming its a he but with can't be certain with Slade

Funny thing is when Kavanagh was here all I ever heard was moaning about him from City fans! How times change...or not.

Ah yes but of course we had Koumas. Now that was a very special player indeed. With the possible exception of Ramsey we haven't had quality like that at the club since. Joe Ledley was useful too.

Yes I agree Phil, O'Sullivan won't get a look in, O'keefe and Gunnar are poor so that just leaves three, with only one of them being creative, Whitts, we are crying out for a class midfielder.

You got one right Steve, O'Keefe was in my "poor" category, Gunnar wasn't though! And to give you another clue it was Ralls who was the above average Championship player mentioned, and he's certainly very creative. However, he can't be expected to carry all the responsibility alone. That's why I believe we desperately need a class midfield general to come in

I got all of them spot on PhilRalls is still raw but he will be a very good creative player very soon, not quite there yet and certainly not in the Whitts mould when played correctly
![]()
Gunnar is not good enough for me and definitely not consistent enough but I wouldn't sell him as he is a very good squad player, so in all I would play Whitts, Ralls, Diko and Pilks and or Noone in midfield. We could do with that box to box midfielder though to push the othersWe will never agree on Whitts and that's fine but he don't deserve all the criticism he gets, Malky ruined him and that's a fact
