Riaz Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 2 hours ago, Robbored said: Bottom line - if TK signs for City then all well and good. If he signs elsewhere then so what? He and Webdini complemented each other last season but that doesn’t mean that another new CB wouldn’t do the same. I’d be more disappointed to lose AW than I would by not signing TK. There are very few proven players of his quality, that will come to bristol city. They are usually snapped up by the biggers clubs - the clubs that can pay bigger wages. So to get him would be a real coup and we'll find it difficult to find another proven player of his quality willing to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now fishing in a lake rather than a pond and the predators are bigger, and we’ve gone back to being plankton. No fish pun intended. Are Rovers a Blue Wael?

That would be amazing if true. Certainly I would like to think we have not suspended our pre-season planning for three crucial positions whilst we wait for them to make up their minds. I think MA is too savvy for that so I reckon we broadly know where we are with them. The one thing I am unsure on is whether it is likely that both Palmer and Szmodics are coming here. I know little about Szmodics so may have got this wrong but would that mean we are signing two attacking midfielders who prefer playing centrally? Where would that leave Pato if that was the case?

redsquirrel Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 ive no idea how players wages work but could there be any tax /pension/savings by delaying signings until absolutely necessary? I was just wondering how much tax a footballer would get deducted on their wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah with Reid certainly. But not really impressed with him behind Fam. I think LJ likes him on the left though as he likes him drifting inside and creating overloads in the middle whilst Dasilva can overlap. However I do think with more of Bobby type he could play a role in the 10 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on no foundation at all, if we were to go 4141/4411, then I see Pack and Brownhill occupying 2 of the 5 and Palmer, Szmodics, Paterson, Eliasson, Weimann (RW), Adelakun perming the other 3.....with Fam / new striker as the one.

That would be ideal as long as we either trust Walsh/Morrell/Bakinson with significant minutes or we sign one like Williams. Those 2 behind need rest more often than they got this season. Ideally I’d start each 36 times and the other one 20 times and sub them off a bit more often than they did. I do not think it would be fair to ask them to carry that load at a high level for the third season in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the highlights of the OTIB year (right up there alongside the Inevitable "Get rid of the midget" thread). It's still to happen in 2019. I'm waiting with bated breath.
