Would be better if he could do the latter without needing to move!! Oh I don’t know, Ayling helped us become champions; I’d be quite happy with that outcome again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Nice comments on the FGR forum: Kane Wilson set to join Bristol City on a three year deal. All the best for the future Kane - one of the best I've seen in a FGR shirt Many thanks to Kane and best wishes for your future. A real talent, I hope it all works out for Kane at City. We'll miss him Thanks for everything Kane. Good luck and best wishes. I’m sure you’ll do well at Bristol City. You’re a star. Good luck to Kane if he signs for Bristol City great on and off the field, heard we will be playing city in friendly weeks ago 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That survey was average “highest” salary per club…which was pretty misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Of course we've yet to see the new signings but it looks very promising for the defence next season, the weaknesses should be ironed out and as a bonus Alex Scott will be available to play in midfield. If the forward line can continue from where they left off and we can avoid injuries to key players I'm getting optimistic about our prospects for next season. Nige seems to have a master plan and has the ability to attract players to the club. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, agreed. All guess work just now. But! I can't see Wilson playing high to allow Kalas to drive forward! Or anyone else likely to be playing RCB for that matter.

No, but I could see him playing high for Joe Williams to spray it about after getting the ball off the CBs or GK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O’Connell has been decent so far. Nothing outstanding, just doing exactly what you’d expect of your central CB. Made a few decent clearances, brave on one where he had to collide with the post. Decent enough on the ball, quite composed, but the medium to long range passing isn’t very accurate. He’s been bullied by Jamille Matt a couple of times, but that happens to most League 2 CB’s weekly! He’s a decent size, but does appear to lack a bit of pace. Here he is. Number 6. Hell of a slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige seems to have a master plan and has the ability to attract players to the club. It does seem like we've identified the players we want, that are realistic within our budget, and got in early to get the business we want, done. Also pleasing to see that it is the problem areas that we are addressing, rather than signing players just to bolster the squad. Signing L2 players will always be something of a punt/risk - but it looks like we are signing ones that are generally regarded as being better than that level. Add to that the championship experience of the guy from Luton, which looks very shrewd business. It's certainly promising, sensible transfer business. Will always be key to hold on to those that we particularly want to keep (Semenyo, inparticular) If we can get the game plan right & these new lads hit the ground running, then we could actually have quite an exciting team coming together..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly been one of the lower divisions' best players. It's a big step up from L2 to Championship, no question - but it's not as big a step as it would be from West Broms youth team, to the Championship.

Jamie Vardy and Ian Wright did bigger step ups and it didn't turn out too bad for them. I like his attitude he's obviously been promised playing time, and feels he has a point to prove . A fans favourite at Forest Green, I think he could quickly become one of ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 28, 2022 Report Share Posted June 28, 2022 Small interview with KW. I’m excited to see how he progresses in a City shirt. I know you get the usual sound bites when a new player signs. But I sense he is genuinely happy to have signed for us. He really comes across well. With him and George Tanner who also has impressed me. We have to very hungry and ambitious players who will push each other on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
