Webster-esque I remember watching him at Barnsley (used to work in Barnsley, went to games a few times a season with mates) and he always looked class (albeit at L1 level). The question for me is, what happened? And whatever has caused his career to go off the rails a bit, can we sort that out? As a loan though, this is a great move for us We seem to be targeting a bit more experience in this window, I wonder if there's feeling at the club that there's an opportunity to take advantage of a lot of teams not having the resources to take a step forward?

mozo Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Alfie is obviously a very popular name currently for both dogs and human newborns... but can anyone come up with an Alfie that has played for Bristol City? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 9 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Peterborough potentially with Szmodics due to Toney cash they now have, but wonder in general how easy it'll be to move on Szmodics and especially Adelakun tbh. Bakinson we'll be able to find an interested party for on loan, Eliasson feels saleable- now we have Martin, so does Diedhiou potentially. Been talk in the Rotherham press that they are interested in taking Adelakun back, think we might have to consider either subsidising a season long loan (his contract is up then) or let him go for free just to get him off the books. He was training with Oxford for a while but clearly they didn’t want him. His signing has been a disaster of Engvall type proportions. Supposed to be a fair bit of interest in Szmodics, Peterborough obviously but I wouldn’t discount Ipswich, they have rejected a couple of bids approaching £4m for one of their players but if they do sell, the size of club & part of the world would suit him completely.

The Brunt one baffles me unless Rowe leaves as well. The brunt one makes sense to me. We have a very young midfield , to have someone with his experience could be invaluable to them even if just for a year. It’s a shame Gary O’neil got injured because in the 5-6 games he played at the start of the season , you could see the calmness he brought to the team.

However, ability wise , Brunt is a major step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Williams, Martin, Mawson, Brunt, Sessengon/Pereira - that would be an excellent window, especially in the circumstances. Diedhiou staying would also be fantastic. On paper it looks like Holden is doing something we wished Johnson/Ashton would do for ages - buy players for a set system and style of play.

Scrumpty Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Clever signing in my view, potentially addressing our biggest weakness from last season (e.g. Getting the ball up the pitch, playing out from defence). After TM was sent out on loan, we had no one capable of bringing the ball forward, making us susceptible to a high press, inevitably resulting in a hoof forward. But feedback I've had is that he can't defend - not aggressive enough and doesn't get tight. Playing in a 5 man defence might help in that respect.

Redrascal2 Posted September 5, 2020 Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 Hope this goes through. Good signing and good to see we are bringing in some experience and and players who bring a bit of grit who can get stuck in. Well done DH and MA. We had to toughen up the squad and it seems common sense has taken over at the moment, which is great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think really go my goat about his posts on this topic, was his boasting about watching Fulham so often, and how his view on Mawson is better than anyone else’s. Or at least that’s how it came across to me. Although, I had drunk a pint or two last night. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
