You buy it if you must but to an experienced City supporter the only 100% proof is when it's announced on the OS. I'm getting the impression that you may be a bit sceptical old bean?

Maybe the guy is pushing for the deal and announced it to pressure on the negotiations If he held himself out as employed by Bristol City on social media when he is not then I would bet my mortgage that the legal team would have been on to him very, very quickly. It is so inconceivable that's a non-suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing what someone has posted on social media can be, in instances, very strong and reliable evidence. Ask Gary Johnson through your veil to mask your true identity. Edit: I do apologise for the cheap shot. The problem RR is I cant put you on ignore because when you play ball I enjoy your posts, and there is amongst your forest of crap occassionally a tree worth looking at. It is just so frustrating when you play up a tosser for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Island Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 5 hours ago, Tom said: The thing I like about watching his extensive Dijon highlights (in Ligue 1) is his team play and his tireless motor. The amount of times the ball should have gone out and he hustled and got the ball back in to the six yard box/in one case scored a bizarre goal from a very tight angle. The drive reminded me a bit more of a slightly taller and more physical Bobby than the "classic" centre forwards we've had in Kodjia and Diedhiou. Pretty surprised in a good way that we've got him tbh, if he can regain confidence he should tear up the division. More importantly though what is the great song on this video? I just bloody love it, ear worm of a riff and lyrics that just speak to my heart. I just want to get in my car, go to HMV, snatch the CD off the shelf and put it on repeat for days and days.

Spike Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 It's not official until it's announced but it does seem like an awful lot of talk about this which would suggest he's certainly the target. I'm still not sure what I think about him, he's certainly not the "big name" that many suggested we may get, at least not to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lots of assumptions that the 'big name' would be a forward - hence Afobe. Just because this bloke is a forward/ striker doesn't therefore mean that he is the'big name'. How about we getDiony and a midfielder who is the 'big name'? No ITK involved here....just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because many don't know who he is that doesn't stop him being a big name signing if we pay £9m for him. I doubt very much that LJ is looking to sign a big name and the "one more" happens to be a £9m striker.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is formally done when the relevant paperwork is signed and filed etc. Much like in any other transaction. When it's announces on the OS is irrelevant. The Eliasson deal was done at least 8 hours before the official announcement, for example. I genuinely don’t know how anyone is struggling with this concept?!
