The transfer forum.

Does anybody read it and sometimes stand back reading the names and reflecting on how far we have come, even since the initial take-over?

It doesn't seem too long ago since we had Robbie Fowler, John Macken, Felipe Caciedo, Emile Mpenza, Georgios Samaras and Bernardo Corradi up front etc. Nowadays we're talking about Ibrahimovic, Van Persie, Falcao amongst many others and it's bewildering especially when some say that they wouldn't want them to come here.

The progress we have made in terms of playing staff is exceptional and the change is hard to comprehend at times. Feels like a dream I'm not wanting to end. We truly won the lottery when Sheikh Mansour taken this club over and we'll be forever in his debt. The best owner in the world!

I remember being excited a long time ago at the thought of us signing Les Ferdinand from Spurs! Oh dear!

I always wanted to know who was the Manager being lined up where one of his signings was Gareth Southgate. Franny Lee had been interviewed a couple of months back and said the manager look set to sign but had a changed his mind and didn't bother to contact the club. We ended up with Alan Ball.

I always bring up this one when fellow blues are showing a little impatience with transfer activity. He was actually playing for spurs that night and we even flew a medic down to make sure the deal went through (if i remember correctly).

Shouldn't this be in the transfer forum?

I just think its our time and it's payback for all the shit we've had to put up with over the years. Anyone for Lee Bradbury, Ged Brannan and Tony Vaughan? or maybe Robert Hopkins? or even the quintisential shit player that always pops up went talking of City players who were shite...............Mr Gerry Creaney!!
