It's probably more useful to think of it like this:

 

Perhaps you could consider King as an option at DM and argue that Naismith can then play as the LCB, but I think that takes Naismith out of his best position for us and relies a little too heavily on King who is moving further and further towards the 'coach' end of the player-coach role. Feels like realistically we still need 1 in at CB.

Looks strong now. Keeper, LCB and an attacking player imo and that should be fine.

Atkinson, Vyner, Roberts , McCorrie , Dickie and Pring,plus youngsters , looks like cover enough 

Naismith

Do we think that’s it now for incoming signings?

Keeper then probs dependent if Scott goes

It does suggest they are keen to bid £25m.

As long as we get 25 mill I’m not really fussed where he goes 

Games been cancelled apparently

Anyway back to Scott.

It's looking more hopeful to me that we might yet get to watch him for another season. 

I don't see any of the top 8 in for him at this time, maybe West Ham or Wolves coming in with bids but not matching our value. Don't see him going to the likes of Bournemouth even if they make a bid we would accept.

Scott seems a switched on lad with total confidence in his own ability that he could stay another season improve and get the move he would deserve the next season.

Just my take on it.

West Ham surely most likely with 105 mill coming in. Wouldn’t surprise me if a bid came in soon

If this does happen, I don’t think there’ll be much more activity.

Surely we need replacements for Massengo and Scott. Aswell as Kings playing time probably decreasing

hopefully this gets done quick and we get get a couple more players in

It was leaked on Twitter before he said that I’m pretty sure. And if it wasn’t before hand it was within like 10mins of it 

Doesn’t help people read otib and plaster it all over twitter acting like they’re the ones whose got the information

King is finished, McCrorie will play RB, Williams is rubbish and in the last year of his time as a City player. Scott will probably leave.

We're not top heavy at all! 

And we need a replacement for Massengo

Just now, Percy Pig said:

Wells and Conway are both far superior to Nesbit imo. 

was just a quick comparison. Reckon if Scott does get sold for big it will allow us to properly strengthen in a lot of key areas. I.e ST, CAM

Just now, BCFCGav said:

We currently play with one central striker, with Conway and Wells in the building, and Bell and Cornick able to lead the line I’m not sure we’ll look at strikers. Agree 10 and keeper are worth a look, but what we have in those positions is solid enough should we be unable. 

Not sure those striking options are good enough to get you promotion tho. Conway In a couple years, yeah fair enough. But if we wanna reach play offs/promotion soon in my opinion we need another striker. (Like the new striker millwall just signed) 

Just now, Mr Popodopolous said:

Surely we need to start offloading some soon, FFP although eased is still a matter to consider.

I'd say before offloading we can sign one more, two at a push, I'm often a bit on the cautious side financially though.

We could have 25mill+ coming from Scott soon. Plus wages saved from Bentley, Dasilva, Semenyo sale. 

Just now, AshtonRobin21 said:

If we manage to complete this one, then I’m delighted.

It would be one of the best transfer windows for quite some time. Our squad would look much stronger, with genuine competition for places.

Pearson and Tins know exactly who they want. Knight fits the description from Tins ‘Sound of the City’ interview. 

Keeper, striker and a 10 next if all goes well. But yeah, really positive start to the window

3 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said:

There is not a chance they will sell a prized asset for £1.5m.

 Not a chance. IMO anyway, they even turned down bids when in administration.

Would be a hell of a signing at that price but I can't see that bid making any headway.

His contract runs out next year.

Gives us the option for both which is exciting.
 

352, and can have Atkinson McCrorie Dickie CBs with Naismith in CM.
 

442 could have McCrorie Naismith together in CM if ever needed. 
 

McCrorie CM gives license for him to drop back into a CB position when Atkinson/Dickie/Naismith go on marauding runs. It’s all very fluid and exciting.  

I know it’s hypothetical. But that’s missing out Vyner as well as if roberts signs who can play centre half. Suddenly our options look stacked at the back

Surely the second brighton offer him a new contract we would automatically have to go to tribunal to agree a fee, why wouldnt they have done that??

Who knows but doubt they really care, they’re gunna get 100 mill + for Mac allister and Caicedo. Probably least of their worries

Maybe not tonight then

Well he’s in Bristol whether it’s happening or not happening.

Means he’s coming then

If he signs Bryan won't be, he covers CB too.

If Bryan wasn't mentioned originally I'd have been over the moon with this deal.

why wouldn’t bryan sign? as previous posts have said it must mean kalas isn’t signing. Plus it’s cover for LCB which means Naismith can play in midfield
