A very affordable option considering his contract is up in the summer is Danny Ward. 27 years old. Left footed, quick, good on ball and good in wide areas being a winger too. Always liked him and wanted him when his contract ran out at Rotherham.

I believe he could compliment Weimann's game. Cardiff were rumoured to be interested in Fam in the summer.

Maybe offer a swap deal plus a bit of money for Fam with his contract having a couple more years, compared to Ward's who I guess they'll want to move on.

Otherwise just try and sign Ward and keep Fam.

Are you summarising a combined a Danny Ward (blonde left footed forward) at Cardiff and Grant Ward (fleet footed winger) at Ipswich, both ex-Rotherham.  I’ve not see Danny play as an out and out winger myself (inside left yes), and I wouldn’t have described him as quick...mobile, yes, but not quick.

Danny’s contract didn’t run out at Rotherham, went to Cardiff for a fee.

Grant went to Ipswich, might’ve been out of contract and compensation.

I liked both of them actually, but not convinced Grant is good enough for us these days...Danny might be.  Gotta good touch.

No definitely Danny Ward. Yep he wasn't out of contract. 

He was a winger earlier in his career, right or left. I think he looks quite pacy. Not like incredibly quick, but sharp, good touch and works hard. 

I think he has always looked like a good all round player to me. Not a bad age too. Wouldn't cost much as doesn't get in Cardiff side or even squad I don't think. Contact up in the summer.

He played some games in prem last season. Scored against Arsenal.

Talking of strikers........It looks like Martinelli at Arsenal has overtaken Bad Boy Eddie in the striker pecking order.  4 goals in two apperances, and fantastic ability besides, he looks the real deal. What makes me even happier, is that Man Utd had him on trial first, and let him go, Ha!   If Nketiah had come to us, instead of warming the bench at Leeds, he might be knocking in the goals, and attractiing publicity too........bad decision Eddie?    ?

Would the potential for a 2-3 month loan for a MLS striker be out of the equation as the season runs from March to October and we would therefore be making sure the player is fully fit for his own team on return? Obviously Ibrahimovich would be out of the question but could offer a player a potential transfer to a better league either England or Europe if they do well.

My Arsenal mate believes Eddie will never make the Arsenal first team and the whole loan situation is to increase his value so they can sell him for as much as possible. I know it’s been said elsewhere but I wonder if in January he and Arsenal will be reconsidering his deal at Leeds. 

EDIT - he’s only played 18% of Leeds’ league game time so far this season.

Yeah, but no, but yeah! 

Nobody has factored in the income from £5 admin fees generated by absent minded Season Ticket Holders - have they eh? 

Every little helps, look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves, even if it means pissing off some of your most loyal supporters and financial contributors.. 

We should start a buy a striker fund, with another buy a brick scheme....

Seriously though is matchday income from concourse concession sales etc not included in team finance?  Or does that come under separate accounts as far as ffp is concerned?  Pies & Pints must generate a fair bit of profit, Oh what about matchday car parking income etc?  Sponsorship, hospitality etc..?  I've no idea how the various income streams are divided up throughout the club, non playing staff costs, utility bills, rates .. etc..  Away travel following the team is the CATS coach travel non profit making of does that income go into team coffers?

McGregor reported that Eddie Nketiah has only played 164 minutes of Championship football for Leeds this season.

 

If Arsenal and Eddie were prepared to admit that they were wrong and would be willing to send him here in January, would you take him?

Won't happen, but hell yeah!

You never know. Chelsea recalled Palmer from Blackburn and sent him here, they also recalled Kane whilst he was on loan here and sent him on loan to Forest. 

If Arsenal are serious about Nketiah developing this season and not wasting it sat on the bench getting the final 15 minutes in games they may decide to do the same.

Still, I wonder if the club will feel let down by the player/agent and even be interested in doing business with them again, they obviously had reassurances in the summer which they went back on.

Well Nketiah/his agent's crime is nothing compared with other football transgressions, and I personally think it would be cutting our proverbial nose off if we were to turn away from a player that could fire us to the Premier league.

I know very little about him other than having to apologise for making racist remarks about people when he was at a casino. I am sure you will tell me all about the mitigating circumstances though.

Nah he admitted he was a bellend that night however that isn't how is usually is. Whenever I've met him he's been nowt but a decent bloke.

Interesting article in the mirror:

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/arsenal-ace-eddie-nketiah-wanted-20569058

I'd like to think the fickle amongst our supporters would still be supportive of a move for him. It drives me mad when ppl say "no, he turned us down once, we don't want him". 

I'll tell you what, we should want him, and he's proven he can score goals from the bench, so with a starting place, he could well keep us in the top 6, or even higher.

Do we know if Ian Wright ever made it down to the Gate? Winning him over would be a useful step.

Wright must be looking at the minutes Eddie has had, and looking at us alongside Leeds in the table, and thinking, "Wow, I gave the kid some real bad advice!"

It'd be included somewhere.

Be it under matchday, commercial- would have to look at all the categories later but I'm sure it'd be included either in Bristol City or Bristol City Holdings Accounts- just unsure precisely which category!

All our catering is in-house now? Another factor to consider with this.
