Well… Graeme Lee has left, Michael Boulding has announced he wants to take a pay cut and stay at the club, and there’s no news on McLaren or Brandon. We’re into pre-season training now and only one of the “big four” has left the club. It is starting to look as if we might have [...]

According to the Grimsby Telegraph, Barry Conlon is expected to sign for Grimsby Town on loan. Meanwhile, City have signed a lookalike for Conlon from Accrington Stanley until the end of the season (see below for pic). Mullin is Stanley’s record goalscorer, albeit with a scoring rate not dissimilar to Conlon’s (about 1 in 3).

New signing: McCall delighted.

The T&A Website is showing quite a few City stories at the moment. The reason we pulled out of the race to sign Shaw from Halifax was the £60k price-tag, City are planning their own academy in Mexico and… we are going to be on TV on Monday October 20th - away to Darlington (which bags us a [...]

City have a young right back named Shaun Densmore, recently released by Everton, joining in with pre-seaon training. The Official BCFC site carries a copy of the T&A story. He’s 19, he was Academy Player-of-the-year in 2006-7 season and he has just completed a one-year senior contract at Everton, where he was unable to break into the [...]

Following yesterday’s tip-off about Graeme Lee, there is more transfer news. As I wrote in yesterday’s post, “football contracts tend to run until 30th June so it may be that we will get some news this week when City are able to make their moves on out-of-contract players” and here we go:
The T&A reports that [...]

Arnison is pleased to have signed for a club with a large fanbase and his move is partly due to Greg Abbott. Via the T&A.
Bullock is looking forward to Pre-season.
City haven’t signed anyone yet, apart from the three players already mentioned in previous blog posts (Arnison, Bullock and McLaughlin). However, football contracts tend to run [...]

Via the T&A, three stories on City in the transfer market. The first is about City waiting on four transfer targets, the second story carries the news that Alex Rhodes has signed for Rotherham and the third relates to possible compensation for Luke Medley who has signed for Barnet and includes the news of Eddie Johnson signing [...]

From the Telegraph & Argus: McCall urges patience. I’m hoping this means that the reason we haven’t had any news recently (bar the Arnison signing) is that, as a club, we are playing our cards close to our chest. This story is worth reading for the comments alone. The inaptly named ‘Mr Sensible’ seems to be [...]

OK, so not much movement on the signings front – but at least we’ve got rid of some of the dead wood. In the summer, City released thirteen players (unlucky for some). The thirteen comprised: striker Eddie Johnson, defender Darren Williams and midfielder Paul Evans, goalkeepers Donovan Ricketts, Ben Saynor and Jamie Waite, local boys [...]
