Wasn’t so much that this squad wasn’t good enough last year but rather ran out of gas & got nervous. One year older now so, fingers crossed.

Waste of city fans money paying ashton You think LJ sits in on the negotiations and secures the best financial terms for the club? No player will come to Bristol City because of our chief exec, but to not recognise the job he does in terms of the financial deals we are getting - sales and purchases - is disingenuous. I suspect that buying and selling players is very much a team effort, with everyone's role equally important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPLEY RED Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 20 minutes ago, phantom said: Interested to why you would think that @Sturny I think DaSilva is young and still developing so should improve from last season Palmer wasn't with us for very long and didn't get a decent run. I would have liked him to have had a full pre season with us but expect him to get more game time and so not desperate to impress every time he gets the ball. I hope he is the creative mid fielder we need. If Kallas is as good as he was last year I will be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Redwhitepurple Seeing as it appears to appears to be beyond you who negotiated £15m for Kelly, £10m for Reid, £7m for Flint and £6m for Bryan at £37.65m profit for the club (less wages so let’s call it just the £36m) Lee Johnson? And if he gets £25m for Webster after paying £4m only 12 months ago add another £20m....... Unless we’ve paid the guy £40m in that time Ashton is probably doing alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin1988 Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Three very decent signings but the holes in our squad are still there. Lacking at RB and up top and potentially short with a proper tough-tackling midfielder unless we get Korey back to full fitness. Still time to complete the squad and it’s been a decent summer so far, but if the window shut this afternoon I’d be feeling a bit disappointed.

spudski Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 MA is Marmite on here...but love him or loath him, he's doing a Vital job for the Club. Taking away pressure off LJ and allowing him to concentrate on Coaching. Regardless of his huge salary...600k is it? His negotiating skills in doing deals seem impressive...just got to forget the odd dodgy one's that haven't worked out. Few and far between.
