I know the likes of Jamie Vardy that came from the 6th league or something at the same age of this Atkinson but he doesn't even have a market value on transfermarkt or a picture. Do you heard about him ? Was he playing great last season ? I mean he has no experience in Championship, seems more like a gamble for the future. League One team of the season last year. 6'5" (I think) and good with the ball. I think he's a gamble, but an excellent one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our recent transfer history speaks for itself to be honest, if you are a young ambitious player than Bristol City is a club proven to develop and then more importantly not stand in your way if a Prem team comes calling.. Atkinson and his agent will be well aware of that fact and it will be a big pull, as will the opportunity to work with Nigel Pearson aswell I’d imagine.

Finley_Smith10 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Would be a class signing. With a back four of say; Vyner Kalas Atkinson Dasilva that to me looks v strong on paper. With Williams and James holding aswell we seem to be developing a decent spine. Need a decent striker now and it should be happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 I hope we get him. This kind of signing that makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Wondering whether Cundy, who’s yet to be seen on a training video, might go the other way (on loan) as a sweetener? Oxford boy originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finley_Smith10 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Reading the Oxford fans forum a lot of them seem very disappointed to lose him and some reckon his transfer value will 100% increase. Also has alot of potential. Really excited for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Appears that he was identified early on as a key target so be good to conclude this so he can get fully involve with pre-season preparations. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/bristol-city-closing-defender-wanted-5599878 Signing for us for around £1.5m seems a decent outcome for both clubs and the player.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 On 28/06/2021 at 18:18, Richard Head said: Can someone explain what early doors means (and therefore late doors)? It’s a genuine question, as opposed to me being a pedantic old fart, which may well be the case. I first heard ‘Big Ron’ Atkinson use the former term and its been repeated ad infinitum since, but only in a football context, and never understood it, as opposed to “early days”. I always thought early Doors was Light My Fire....wish I’d kept my mono copy of their first album. Maybe early doors and late doors are Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception and Big Ron had just read it, which I haven’t? I heard it from Ron Atkinson first too - I always assumed he made it up.

Lew-T Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just to put it out there - is this lad any better than say Moore or Cundy? These two have played League 1 football and have done well… Like Atkinson. @Davefevs any stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDBS36 Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Interesting signing if true, as previous post by Lew-T is any better than Taylor-Moore, if we have or do sign him let's hope so as we can't afford to carry passengers this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
