Davefevs Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 6 minutes ago, Silvio Dante said: Can’t see that it’s a huge gamble tbf. A fit, firing, Mawson is easily PL quality. If we were signing him permanently I’d totally agree with you but it’s a loan (and likely in common with most of our loans will have an option to buy). If it works - we’ve got a quality defender at likely fraction of his last move. If it fails - we’ve lost a loan fee and wage contribution. If you gave me the choice between Dickie (unproven at this level) on a permanent and Mawson (proven at a higher level albeit injury concerns) on a loan to buy at 26, there’s only one option for me. Agree....Dickie is one to watch over this season. It’s fine playing nice football from the back in a top end Lg1 side, geared up to play that way. He might do well, but I’m reserving judgment for the mo’. If that means we’ve missed out on a good, cheaper option, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as 4th choice Moore will get plenty of chances with Baker's injury record, never mind Mawson's. Not sure where that leaves Vyner though.

That's a top, top back 3 that and Moore the perfect back up option. Vyner will still get lot's of minutes too and a great option as 5th CB. Some serious strength in depth (and quality) forming across the squad now, great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with Baker our for weeks, maybe months, with Mawson we have 4 CBs (plus it now seems the even more versatile than we though - Tommy Rowe).

Dasilva to the Left and an upgrade on Hunt to the Right and that's not too shabby at all! Fam, Wells, Martin, Weimann up front - not too shabby either. Get the blend right in midfield and we could be onto a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he’s had injury issues.. but so had Webster when he came here. He’s a genuinely quality player and would be a regular in the Prem were it not for injuries. It’s a signing of real intent imo. Nope. In fact I bet I’ve seen him live a lot more than most, at Fulham. There is a player there, but his form and fitness have been off for a while. You wanna go hug him cos he once was good, fair play, but don’t make statements you cannot back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INCRED Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 With Mawson in the back 3 alongside Kalas and Baker/Moore that is a strong defensive trio If we can get Sessegnon at RWB and with Dasilva at LWB then that’s some back 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonRobin21 Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 The spine of our team looks much stronger (once completed). Mawson, Williams and Martin is fantastic business. If asked a few weeks ago if I was excited for the season I would have said no. However, now I am delighted with how the squad is shaping up and feel we could have a real go this year. Under LJ we signed good players that weren't suited to the way he set our team up. Now under Holden we are signing players who are perfectly suited to his system. It looks like Holden knows exactly how he wants his team set up and we actually have genuine competition for places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman_Stand Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 If we ever get a full strength squad available to us then we are looking pretty strong on paper now with most of the weak points from the end of last season now addressed, good back-up and younger players throughout the squad. Starting to feel a twinge of excitement for the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a 12 month loan with an option to buy is it really that much of a gamble? Guessing the wages/loan fee will be similar to what we paid for Benkovic. Definitely worth a punt for me.

I’ve got several mates who live and work in London. They also like football, but they love Bristol City more, so prefer to watch us play than any London based team. COYR.
