That’s assuming no more outgoings So you're saying there will be more outgoings? Of course, don’t you think there will be? |

Its quite strange really - in the days of Pulis and Daves Views, nearly all the transfers went down to the wire on the last day. At the moment loads of time to the deadline 11pm on 31st August. So lots can happen In & Out, but this regime seem to like getting players in & out early

Again didn't deny interest when asked specifically about him in the press conference today, but just repeatd that it's totally in the hands of Man City
"None of the clubs being linked with him have any control over it. That situation is totally controlled by Man City"

I thought O’Neill‘s press conference stated we were not interested in McCann?

From what MON said in his interview I’ll be surprised if we get a CM in he sounded like he thought he’d got plenty. Sounded like his priority was cover for Tommy Smith.

"Live option" for Bournemouth, which is always nicer than the alternative.

"Live option" for Bournemouth, which is always nicer than the alternative. Woodman would be a good signing for them at the right price, performed well at Swansea and I personally think he’s better the. Ramsdale, who I think is only marginally better then haugaard |

So you're saying there will be more outgoings? Of course, don’t you think there will be? Well I can't think of any of the first team going, unless it's a bit out of the blue. Obviously McClean and possibly Ince but bar them can just see youngsters. |

Wouldn't put much stock in it, but... www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-city-liam-delap-transfer-21320526New Manchester City under-23 coach Brian Barry-Murphy expects Liam Delap to stay at the club this season - but not as an academy player. "Liam’s dad is a very good friend of mine," Barry-Murphy told MEN Sport. "I think Rory’s trying to stay out of it, so I was going to follow suit. I know Liam’s recovering from injury at the moment. That will be important for him, one of a few setbacks he’s had in the last few months. "Obviously his progress is there for all to see and I presume he’s very much part of the first-team plans and that’s how he progresses in the future." |

With Campbell back in a month fingers crossed a front 4 of Surridge, Fletcher, Brown and Campbell is a decent one without setting the world alight....... |

I just hope we have other irons in the fire because we need another striker until January. |

We'll see - but striker was one of the 3 MON prioritised post-match with Nige - so if not Delap, we could well see another arrive. Although, as with RWB* (and potentially with midfield too?), hard to see the level of player we could attract if we aren't promising them very regular starts , given the competition there will be for the best loans Suppose it's feasible the RB could come in ahead of Smith in the pecking order if they're highly enough thought-of, but seems unlikely - especially if it is a loanee |

I think that’s a pretty good front 4 personally. Brown has his limitations but I do believe he’ll be much better with a crowd to spur him on. |

He likes him more in a 5. And he's looked okay this season - with MON really talking him up. It is definitely possible though, as it's very hard, when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it, that we really could get an in-demand RWB on loan like Sterling from Chelsea if our sales pitch was 'we'd like you to turn down regular game time elsewhere in the division and come in as cover for Tommy Smith! *phone slammed down* By the same token, if we go down the loan route in midfield and up front, how much game time would they get competing with Clucas, Allen, Thompson, Powell and Vrancic and Surridge, Fletcher and Brown? (with Campbell hopefully back in the autumn too) |

(with Campbell hopefully back in the autumn) That's why I'm saying I think the RWB is going to be someone who will come in to play most games, someone like Neco Williams at Liverpool. Like you say midfield isn't as clear cut. Allen and Powell will start most games when fit but maybe Vrancic, Thompson and Clucas could make way for an A list signing. |

www.transfermarkt.co.uk/liam-delap/profil/spieler/610849He's already played for England at every youth level below u21, so think the only way he'd consider Ireland now is if his career didn't map out to be as top-level as it appears to be heading. And, to be fair, he is English. Born here, lived here all his life, mum English and dad born here. Declan Rice cam through all the levels with Ireland. Can't blame him for jumping ship though. I doubt his parents etc would make much of a difference, Rory played for ireland. He's already been approached by the FAI but nothing to report on that front. I remember being 'meh' when harry Kane changed his mind last minute about playing for Ireland. That worked out just as I expected  I remember seeing a young lad playing left wing for England u21, Ryan Wilson he was called. Then he changed his name to Giggs and went to play for Wales. I can't remember the story of why he changed his name... |
