    Are we paying higher wages though? The signings so far don't seem to suggest so

    No, I'm saying Edin isn't paying big wages.

    It's right there in the first line of my post if you're still struggling.

    Have we got Seedorf because we missed out on Dembele?

    Well an educated guess would lead to the assumption of the majority. They will be signing for peanuts with the promise of being coached and taken to the next level by.....a 32 year old unproven coach at senior level.

    Only one loan though, does not seem so bad?

    I don’t mind us signing young inexperienced, hungry outfield players. But if we bring in an inexperienced keeper, then we’re in trouble.
    That’s the one position that calls for experience, as we found out to our peril last season. Could turn out to be the most important signing we make imo.

    Wind your neck in love.
    "If he was paying big wages we'd be bringing in proven quality".

    Do you honestly struggle with English? Is there another language you'd like me to post in?

    In the meantime, see if you can explain to me (in your native tongue if you prefer) how you somehow came to the conclusion that the young lads we are signing are of "proven quality".

    Is a hungry player another description for somebody is who lacks ability but tries his best. A bit like the kid who wins most improved player. Just what is a ‘hungry player’

    I didn't say that. I said I was unable to form an opinion at this time. Learn to read.

    It's simple really.

    Zero to very few first team games means "unproven quality".

    200 first team games in senior professional leagues would suggest "proven quality".

    This is my last reply to you though as you're hard work and clearly trying to find something that isn't there in my posts.

    Except goalkeeper as city offered reduced wages for Doyle so they are hardly going to increase the wage to sign someone else to play as that would defeat edin's purpose.

    I give you Aaron Mclean.

    My point was very simple. I will want to see these lads playing first before deciding how things are going. I recall Abbo and Hendrie and Singleton joining from Coventry with very few senior games under their belt. 2 of them went on to have great careers with city and Singleton was a very useful addition to the team that year.

    I was wondering what the definition was myself. Try asking @Norman Corner@Norman Corner he is fully on board with it all.

    I can't see city playing both wing backs and 2 wingers so that is plenty of squad depth for wingers or they will go with a flat back four which can leave Riley and Wood exposed at times as they will be inexperienced at this level.

    Two good examples to be fair.
