CotswoldRed Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This gets better and better ... Surely this was one we could have tied up well in advance. If we aren't careful we'll not have enough players to start a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts_city Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 And who could blame him, probably sick of the pantomime going on at the gate and doesnt fancy league one, he might also get played in position there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 And Bennett was going to be a long term signing!!! I would not at all surprised if cottrill makes no signings whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True red Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Don't think we will sign anyone to be honest, Callum Robinson also gone back to Preston on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 If we make no signings then we simply have no chance of staying up. If that happens then someone upstairs has got to go. Ineptitude on a grand scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't know whether to laugh or cry?? Even SC seemed confident that Elliot bennet would be staying with us for the rest of the season. I don't blame the lad, Lambert done a lot for him at Norwich and lets be honest he probably looked at our even smaller squad and realised enough is enough.

BCFC_Dan Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 We do at least have Mark Little who would have been in the position all season had he not been injured. It's not good to lose Bennett but it could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was a shock to the system being asked to play wing back with all it's extra physical and mental expenditure. Wonder what package and position Blackburn are offering.

So if you were EB's agent, would you advise him to commit his future to BCFC well in advance of the end of his loan and transfer window? of would you wait to see what offers are on the table and what clubs are interested?

pongo88 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 What about his new kitchen? Blackburn have obviously included a replacement as part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy this football manager business on a forum!! Thanks for the patronising tone. We could, conceivably, have made it attractive enough for the lad in advance. SC sounded positive enough. I agree though, unless you have his signature, nothing is guaranteed. We have a near-impossible task now of convincing anyone to sign. We've allowed a thread-bare, poor squad to shrink further and, unless someone is prepared to jump to us first, who is going to commit themselves? I can only see promising League 1 players or has-been journeymen coming now. The lack of foresight and the risk we took letting good players leave first (in the summer) means our board (and SC) have shown their actions to be reckless. Simple.

Plenty of places not far from Blackburn that are pleasant to live...nothing to do with Bristol as a City...it's the club. 3 minutes ago, sh1t_ref_again said: So if you were EB's agent, would you advise him to commit his future to BCFC well in advance of the end of his loan and transfer window? of would you wait to see what offers are on the table and what clubs are interested?

Kingswoodactor Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Shit town, but he'll get to play for Paul Lambert; who's a quality manager, and he'll get to whip crosses in for Jordan Rhodes (well, unless he goes to Boro for 22 million) so I know where I'd probably want to play my football.

Calculus Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 1 minute ago, Super said: I take it he has never been to Blackburn.... There's plenty of good places to live near Blackburn and loads of football clubs around should he fancy a change. Add the Paul Lambert relationship and the state of City then am sure that the decision will be a no-brainer if the money's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a disgrace tbh...Fans make excuses for lack of signings...but no other club is having as many problems as us. Great bunch of lads here...but they must be feeling like they have a mountain to climb right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
