And therein lies the problem, if most City fans haven't heard of Graeme Lee or Paul McLaren then they have their heads in the clouds. Both very good solid players at this level AND above. Not internationals or premeirship stars, but both very well known names in lower league football and both good competitors. We can't complain about the age of our squad being old, yet want to sign 'known' players, the only way this can happen is if they are on their way out of the game, a la Chris Waddle. Keep the faith I say, the signings so far are just what was needed, a keeper and another striker to come and we will be just about settled. Besides there is always bound to be one or two more that come either on trial like the kid above, or complete surprises that nobody was even aware was even in the pipeline.

Well said 'THE GENERAL '82-'86 of GUILDERSOME' and 'EMB BANTAM of GUISLEY' and 'DON HUTCHINS AFRO of BRADFORD'.Miss SENSE-LESS of Bingley( Silly Little Girl) and Master SHAUN of RICHMOND (Silly Little Boy), thrive on reaction to their sarcasm. They support other Clubs,probably LUFC.( Something I have never understood, when people from the catchment area of Bradford, become traitors,and support e.g. LUFC!.) NB.:-May I suggest that for the rest of this coming Season, all of their Comments be IGNORED.( AD INFINITUM)With apologies to Shaun Densmore and the T&A, for their disgraceful comments on this article.I hope Shaun Densmore makes the grade with City. When young promising players are 'Bloodied' into the First Team. The oppositions Senior Players, give them a very rough & bad time, during the games.DON'T LET THEM GET TO YOU Shaun Densmore.

Pablo, if you have an interest in lower league football, and as a City fan you should, then they are household names. The optimism comes from the fact that these lads are amongst the best in the lower leagues and are a great capture for us. The realism has to ocme from us fans, we are 4t hdivision and as such won't be attracting the names you see on match of the day. Try getting out more.

Pablo, yes I have, and as a fan of a team which will be filled with lower league journeymen for the next few seasons I would advise you to be more aware too, then you will know whether we are signing the best of the worst or the worst of the best. I still don't understand why so many City fans don't take an interest in the divisions we are in, or hope to rise into. Not much point reading the daily rags as they only contain the info regarding Prem clubs, we are 4th division, we will attract only lower league players.
