    Give over, we are City, Bradford, not Manchester sponsored by half the oil in the Middle East!

    Who was leading you to believe we'd signed players? Don't think it was the club! More likely some folk on here.

    Could that be the reason Adams wants 7 more signings?

    I’m happy with us having a leaner squad, the last time we didn’t have a bulky squad was probably our last Wembley season. I put the bloated squads down to Rahic at first but we’ve been doing it ever since he left.

    Without sounding to much like Park I think every player deserves a fresh start next season. Hopefully our coaching will improve, plus importantly fitness and a few quality players in the remaining 7 to sign. With all that plus hopefully a more balanced team we’ll see some good improvements from those that weren’t at the races previously. Plus lower league players are always inconsistent, look at Marshall with us a poor season doesn’t mean it’ll be replicated next, like wise a good season.

    At this level a fit, balanced team with a few quality players is all you need.

    Fitness was dreadful last season. Sparkes alluded to it, has anything happened yet with new fitness staff?

    It appears to me that it's more akin to rearanging the deckchairs on the Titanic. It's not the fundamantal change which I was expecting after some of last season's performances and what Sparks alluded to. Just one of the staff has left.

    They have restructured the entire backroom fitness group and Ben Rome has left. Looks like the head of performance and sports scientist are the fitness guru's

    My reply is that 8 signings (7 now Cook as signed) isn't enough IMO

    Hope your right but we need some top quality if Adams is only bringing 8.

    The thing is no one has even contemplated anyone leaving in the current squad, if that happens we may need more.

    Off topic but prayers for Christian Eriksen. Horrific scenes.

    Where is this thread? I thought there might be a Euro2020 forum, but I can't see it under general football. Where should I look?
