Sorry for your loss, hopefully in the years to come you will recall happy memories of being at ashton gate, and it will make you smile. Take care bud.

what an incredible gesture giving up the ventilator! Hopefully solace can be found in the gesture he made, and they know what a special man he was

Back to topic, depends how we want to play, if its 3 in midfield, then sell elliasson, get a top right wing back, and a top midfielder. thats assuming elliasson cant be switched to rwb. obviously no one knew what happen with the season closing down, but henriksson was out before the season stopped, they are all on large wasted salaries, but his must be about the worst out of the current batch.

Yeah agreed, in a week or 2 9/11 will have killed less americans than corona virus has, and the perpetrators of that were obliterated. This has been caused by either man made biological warfare, or barbaric medieval behaviour that has no place in the modern world, yet the Chinese government has stood by and let it happen. Perhaps there should be mass sanctions shutting the country down financially to pay for what they have done, thats assuming someone who can be a little erratic doesnt press a button and start vapourising key government institutions first.

Yes, with our owner and transfer fee income we can afford to lose the income from the last 4-5 home games, but you get the feeling that could be catastrophic for some clubs

Wouldnt be surprised if oxford paid us a loan fee of 100k or so for the year. If at the end of the season he then signs a contract with oxford then thats outside our control

Nice one! That pic is scary,, i would have thought what’s happening now is a lot of rainfall and high tides?

Have been looking at the flood photos of cumberland basin, it’s obviously not a million miles from ashton gate. Just wondering what the prospects are of the flood getting across that far? Did it happen in the 60s or am I mistaken?

Yeah, both the number 9 that ashton has talked about. But afobe isnt necessarily the target man that fam is.

Purely because we need to generate transfer income to keep the bills/ latest transfer incomings ticking over, then im sure at least 1 of nic or fam will be leaving,,,, and nic is the more likely of the pair at this point i reckon. also perhaps im the only one, but does anyone else not think that wells and afobe are similar types of player? And with wells signed on a perm we arent likely to do the deal for benik too?

Mark ashton is very politician like in the way he conducts himself. If he can let it be known that as well as big transfer fees being negotiated that he is also securing loan players with no fee being paid, then that would reflect well on him. so last year it was kalas palmer and dasilva... and chelsea had their policy of sending 30 odd players out on loan around the world,,, that would never be sustainable without charging loan fees of some description. Perhaps its termed differently,,, a procurement charge or something instead of a loan fee, so hes having a little joke about it. Perhaps we end up paying 150% of wages with the extra covering player charges? Who knows?

By coincidence i watched the video if that match earlier on youtube... the thorpe header is truly one of the most memorable goals of the last 30 years or so

I was at that watford game, he was superb, cant understand why years later he has barely been heard from. Semenyo is younger, and with wells and possibly afobe signing permanently, i cant see there is any pathway at the moment

Hull are in big trouble, they were the most obvious example of a 1 man team since argentina in 86. not that we would consider flogging our best player as soon as a decent offer came in of course! Just goes to show that its entirely possible to fall like a stone if you sell your best players, and the fact that we have maintained and improved our position despite doing this for years should mean some degree of credit to lj.

I dont really see henrikson getting much game time between now and the end of the season, kinda like that swedish centre back ekstrand a few seasons ago. I hope he isnt costing much in wages.
