He looked to me that he was every bit ready to get that experience here, didn't let us down at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leadership team changed at Brentford last year; the coaching, discussions and overall environment many not have been to Bentley’s liking, as a result he was able to perform at his best. He is talented and I think we have the setup and ambition to help him flourish. Good signing - welcome Daniel. Hope you are correct.

Not for me, he struggled to command his box for me, and that’s only due to lack of experience, He will make a good living and hopefully with city but he isn’t there just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Good signing, but he now has the next month to remove Nikki from our no1....I like Nikki so let’s see who gets the starring role v Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Da Silva back was excellent, but also really required once Kelly moved on. The lad from Colchester seems a no-brainier as is young, a two time top scorer for them, and for compensation too, so essentially a punt, and hopefully a decent one. Bentley would have been a massive signing a few years back when he was very highly rated, but with his form cooling a bit, this looks more like an opportunist signing of a player with promise than a big shot signing - but that’s no bad thing, and may have helped us get him. I‘m happy with the business so far; Kalas would be a massive one too, so hopefully that is on. Am hoping we find a striker to plug into the senior ranks too, as were shallow there at time last year, but plenty of time yet. Nice work so far from the club.

Warwickshire Red Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Very pleased with this signing. Felt a few years ago we should've gone for him when at Southend but City didn't seem to want to invest in the keeper position in the same way as an outfield player. Can be worth several points a season with a good keeper. Welcome DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 It’s not a question of sending Max out on loan, it’s finding for him the right loan, where he will be expertly coached. I wonder whether we are, so say, signing the keeper from Colchester specifically to provide coaching to Max at the club to which he is loaned (obviously acting as our third choice keeper if required)? Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Welcome to BCFC Dan, it will be really good to have strong opposition for the keepers shirt, guessing Max will go out on loan while NM and DK battle it out for the shirt. If he’s better than NM then he will be an excellent signing. Delighted with our transfer business so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 If he regains his form of the past, and puts away that if the last few seasons, he’ll be a good signing. Pre-season should tell us whether he’s a genuine contender for Nikki’s no1 berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Very pleased with this one. One poor season doesn’t define a player’s ability, and he’s been courted in the past by bigger clubs than us. Should provide excellent competition with Niki.
