Don’t think he had a lot of choice but to confirm it. Interviewed on tv so legit

I hope it's a powerful, commanding, experienced leader and not a youngster. We need experience and leadership.

He didn’t and wouldn’t give any details or clues. He’s a very secretive guy. But I think he realised he needs to give the fans some good news. Let’s hope we are all pleased with the new player.

What they want and what they get will be 2 different things.
Sheffield utd deal has fallen through. He wants out.

I hope you right

I feel, if we can get a CB that's better than Fish and Osho it would be big for us and give us good depth when they are fit for the long season. Hopefully we pull it off.

I really hope this wasn't BBM's way of trying to force Tan's hand into getting somebody in because Tan is such a cock that I wouldn't put it past him to refuse to sign anybody and tell BBM to play some youngsters.

Or the goalies at centre back.

No. Can't cope with players running at him. We were lucky to get what we did for him.

Wouldn't happen anyway.

Not a chance I know it's been suggested but does anyone really see BBM going for a "bruiser" centre half it'll be someone who's good on the ball

I totally agree.

Anyone think we go for a mobile right sided CB that can double up as a right back too? That addresses the jssue of having 5 CBs and provides some help for our currently off peak form RBs

Whilst Chambers hasn’t played in the 6 under BBM, he actually did alright there under Riza.

Brining in another CB could in theory free him up to cover the 6 role.

CB - Much needed :o

He doesn’t say he will have a CB in by Tuesday, just that he’s hopeful of a new arrival by Tuesday and then when asked if it was a CB he says that’s an area they’re looking to improve.

No doubt, if it’s not a CB he will be dubbed a liar or the dictator isn’t supporting him, when in reality people are just twisting what is said to suit their own hopes rather than listen to the actual interview

No mate.

He was specifically asked “do you expect to have anyone in before Tuesday” and his response was “I suspect so.”

Pretty much confirms it.

Especially as he normally says something like "I don't want to put a timescale on things".

Exactly.

My bad, I didn’t realise “anybody” meant it’s 100% a CB.

What is strange with a signing expected in the next 24 hours (possibly today) is that no names have been leaked.

Normally there would be talk about who it is. Personally think it's a good thing. Even with Moylan, it was only rumoured a couple of days before he signed.

Possibly because there is no signing imminent?

I know what BBM said on Saturday but at the end of the day it's out of his hands.

Fair point. Doesn't seem like it will be today but some suggestions it could be tomorrow.

Two in before Sheffield United and then another two before the deadline seems to be the general consensus.

When you say "general consensus", are you just reiterating what City fans are hoping and praying for or do you have access to insider knowledge that makes you extremely confident that these four signings will happen ?

No I have no insider knowledge, just going off what the so-called ITK people are saying.
