City's struggle in the transfer market this window has been very public, but Phil Brown has strengthened his squad with the signings of Steven Mouyokolo, Seyi Olofinjana, Jozy Altidore, Stephen Hunt, Kamel Ghilas, Paul McShane and Ibrahima Sonko. Michael Bridges, Ryan France, John Welsh and Dean Windass were the most notable players not to have their contracts renewed, while Sam Ricketts and Michael Turner were sold.
