SedRA Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Great signing but not sure about everyone throwing him into the starting eleven. Loads of potential no doubt, but will probably be needing some development before a regular starter. Remember he was used last season mostly as a sub for Oxford in L2.

Yeah, but didn't make a 18 man squad of fully fit players, which would obviously change throughout the season. We wanted depth and competition, we've now got it.

robinreliant Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 I would say that we are becoming a very attractive proposition and I 'm sure everyone will be looking at us with a bit more respect now. No more little old Bristol City. Likes of Florist Derby Norwich Villa and Newcastle watch out. We are going to surprise a lot of teams, Believe me.

citywest30 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 An exciting signing potential wise. Seems like a lot of people have high hopes for him. Well done City. Could be the next Adomah (just a bit more expensive). Doesn't sound as Irish as I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Some Oxford fans (very bitter I may add) saying he was a part time player last season. Wiki said he played over 50 games overall in the 15/16 season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but words along the line of "help the club push on". That doesn't say promotion, just progress, without limiting to mid table, avoid relegation or whatever.

HoldenBall Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 “Callum's success is another endorsement of our youth system. His development over the past two years is also testimony to the importance we place on nurturing and supporting talented young players and, of course, Michael Appleton's outstanding coaching skills."We are disappointed to be losing Callum as he was going to be an important member of the squad in the coming season. We wish him great success in the rest of his career and look forward to him being a regular visitor to the club."We have known of Callum's wishes for some while which has enabled us to plan for different outcomes. With a couple more players expected to join us over the next week or so, I believe we have a squad which is well equipped to have an exciting and successful campaign.” Oxford chairmans comments. All sounds promising for a very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Bobby Reid would be the sub for tomlin. Just need a sub for kodjia (Abraham) a right back (Matthews) a stand in keeper (lucic) and we are all gravy. We have Willian's and cyber as back up central defenders so do t need to stall their development by signing another centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ says he can play there in the interview. Someone like that able to come on/move there when LT`s blowing/out of sorts makes me very happy. Up till now if LT was to have an off game (as all players do from time to time) we may have struggled I think as our tactics will be to get the ball to him as much as possible.
