Guest Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 3 hours ago, Hello said: Who said anything about nobody being available? Surely its about getting the right players, the players you want. how much did you spend.on that Engval and how many games has he played for instance Nice to know you're so interested in ours I'm not being facetious but the right player at League One level? That's like walking in to Primark and saying they didn't have anything. You're not looking for a Maserati to drive away the next day. That's not me lourding it over the mighty gap between Championship and League One... I'd make the same accusation at us. But it's much easier to identify 'competent' footballers than it is to be say a top four side in the transfer market. I think 'right player' is really a load of cobblers for perhaps 85 of the 92 professional clubs. There might be a player who doesn't have the right attitude or is not available for the right price, but there's a bloody great big huge market out there and if several targets for each position cannot be identified in the months leading up to a window and conversations happening earlier that's a huge strategic failing.

I wouldn't be so quick to criticise because if he really does end up to be shit, he will probably end up joining your lot just like a host of our cast offs have in recent years and have done sterling amount of undercover agent work on our behalf. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I see that tomorrow, unusually, both City and the 15'ers are playing at home with a 3pm kick off. @Purple Paulmust be in a quandary wondering which team he should go to watch. No doubt he'll be inscrutably fair and go to neither. We're playing in the FA Cup though whilst they have a league match against Northampton. Did they not enter the FA Cup this year? Are they boycotting it? Anyone know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombsy Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 According to DC in this morning's papers we will probably have to dip into the loan market again,when are we actually going to get a board prepared to invest in the squad I find it incredible that we didn't have a goalkeeper lined up by the opening of the January transfer window it is the one position on the field that you cant afford to mess about with if we go into Sat's match with what we have got and fail to get a result the blame will lie squarely on the managements shoulders.What happened to six out and six new players in. they have not got a pot to p in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) No, we didn't imagine it, they spouted far and wide that they were now the '6th richest club in England' - they posted videos on You Tube ridiculing us for 'not being as rich as them' and saying Ashton Gate would soon be 'a training ground for their youth team' - they crowed about the 'diggers starting work on their new stadium at UWE' and how they'd 'overtake us within a couple of years' and we'd be forever below them.... Fast forward to now....Mr Lansdown is once again backing his manager and Mark Ashton by opening his wallet and strengthening the squad, and it's only 6 January....meanwhile they're basking in the glory of their new canopy over the hospitality entrance, a new tent or two and zero expenditure on new players. And we know full well that 'Matty' Taylor is sat next to his phone praying it will ring with an offer to get him outta there....let's hope he treats the next offer with more respect than the diabolical way he ridiculed the last club to offer him a way out with that classless goal celebration.... But, don't forget, they're coming for us! #ChampionshipReady #TickTock #BristolCityWe'reComingForYou Edited January 6, 2017 by BS4 on Tour... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Makes I laugh when they talk about us as `a rich man`s plaything` and how we`ll be in the shit when SL gets bored and walks away. you could apply this statement to them in every respect bar one.
