Interesting reference to wages being lower with us in this article - https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/ross-mccrorie-bristol-city-to-sign-aberdeen-star-manager-drops-signing-hint-the-6-figure-rangers-windfall-4144645

Maybe, the article says ‘Nigel Pearson revealed on BBC Radio Bristol on Monday night that he believes two signings are close to being confirmed and Bristol Live understands that duo is Bryan and McCrorie.’ perhaps the word ‘understands’ should be ‘guesses’

When I saw the headline my heart missed a beat, https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1180290593?-1007:836

Think he will be an excellent signing if it happens I’ll be delighted, and it’s looking very likely.

From Stoke media…..one player who doesn’t look like he’ll be joining Stoke City this summer is Fulham full-back Joe Bryan. The Potters were one of several teams to have been linked with the 29-year-old ahead of his contract expiry next month, but it’s now said that he’s set to join Bristol City on a free transfer.

Looks like the Robins won out against the Canaries: https://www.pinkun.com/news/23525713.norwich-city-transfer-news-bristol-city-win-race-ross-mccrorie/

As for example this: ‘I just think, at times, the club has had too many players, too many players on loan and what we’re trying to do now is create an atmosphere which is quite tight and we want our players to enjoy success with us.’

A useful reminder to some on this wonderful forum ?
