What are the chances of that happening?

Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of speculation about what transfers are about to be made at Sincil Bank. Some names that have been touted about are highly unrealistic, whereas others you'd suspect are already done deals. We will not assess what chances we stand.

Ever since John Deehan revealed that he was in talks with a big name in football, the speculation has been heavy at Sincil Bank, with some Premiership strikers being linked. Below is a list of players that City have been linked to over the last few weeks. We rate how likely our chances of getting these players are, including putting some realism into our chances of getting some of the more ridiculous names that have been thrown around in the last few weeks. The possibilty chances are the chances us making bids on the players.

So that's players coming in, but what about the players going out? Some have been linked with returns to their form clubs whereas others have been linked to the Premiership. There's not been quite as many rumours as the players coming in, but still enough to bother writting a report about. Again, possibility is based on the chances that the side would made a bid.
