After falling to the floor during their friendly cup match against Latina... Belfast Citys Northern Irish midfielder Ian Breen was taken to a local hospital to check on his injuries...
And it was revealed that he has torn his hamstring and will be out for up to two months meaning that he will miss the start of the League campaign... this is such bad news for the youngster and Belfast City manager Artemis Beartrappe must see some potential in him to give him a start place in their first friendly of the summer...

Ademola Lookman once again is in the sight of Italians this time Genoa who have tabled a three point eight million pound bid for the young Englishman...
Once again Belfast City manager was quick to reject the bid... but word coming out is this will not be the last bid Genoa will be making and are preparing a five million pound bid which would be hard for Belfast City to rejected especially with the fact Lookman only cost less than a million last summer!!!

Loans Ended
Sunday 2nd July 2017
Moments ago Trevor Chalobah, Ryan McLaughlin and Rico Henry's loan contracts ended at Belfast City FC...
All three players played their part in Belfast City's league winning season no more than Rico Henry who also was apart of the EFL League Two Team of the Year... Rico will leave a massive hole behind him which Artemis Beartrappe will hope that new signing Chris Brunt will be able to fill but only time will tell!!!

It comes as no surprise that Belfast City's top scorer last season Ademola Lookman is a anted man and is clearly a wanted man after todays new broke...
Belfast City have received two bids today one by Championship side Huddersfield Town for one point six million... that bid was blown out of the water by Italian Serie A team Chievo who tabled a three point six million pound bid...
Belfast City manager Artemis Beartrappe was quick to reject the offers and stated "Ademola is a Belfast City playing going forward... unless he wants to leave he will be here for good!!!" This undoubtedly won't be the last bit of interest in the player this season!!!

Pre Contract Signing (IN)
Saturday 1st July 2017
Either today Belfast City unveiled their five new signings... below is a break down of each player and what they will be more than likely used in the upcoming EFL League One season...
Either today Belfast City unveiled their five new signings... below is a break down of each player and what they will be more than likely used in the upcoming EFL League One season...
 |
| Chris Brunt - Look for Chris to be heavily featured in the up coming season... he can play left midfield but expect to see him play left back with the void left by Rico Henry who has finished his loan and is on his way back to his parent club... |
 |
| Chris Baird - Don't expect to see Chris Baird secure down a regular starting place in the team in one position... he will get plenty of time with the demanding schedule ahead thanks to his versatility whether it be any part of the back four or in central midfield... |
 |
| Ryan Williams - Artemis Beartrappe is a keen admirer of the Aussie... but surely it will be hard to secure a starting place with the likes of Woodburn, Chaplin, Kiwomya and Leko ahead of him... more than likely he will be used as an impact player coming off the bench late in a match!!! |
 |
| David Guithre - This one in a head scratcher... what will Artemis do... Danny would be a great plater alongside Jay Spearing in the centre of midfield... but sure Andre Dozzells form from last season could be a fact... Danny signed his pre contract even before Andre signed for the club so it could be a battle between the two for the starting place... |
 |
| Michael Brown - One player that won't expect to see many minutes this year is forty year old Brown... Brown comes in to help develop the young players... but sure his no nonsense approach could help set the team down if require... |

|
| Peter Hennessey - The Northern Irish man has been a sensation since joining Belfast City... in the short time he has been at the club he has been able to secure a starting eleven place on a regular basic as well earn a call up to his national team... no wonder Artemis Beartrappe gave the young man a five grand a week contract for the next three years... |
|
| Ademola Lookman - This young English man has been a sensation in front of goal putting away twenty six goals this year... Artemis Beartrappe is expecially bracing himself for the amount of interest he will have in Ademola and has offered him a pay rise of seven grand which will mean he will leave with ten thousand pounds a week... |
