what caused you to doubt it pal?

Im not convinced that these 3 signings with move us up 10 places in the league, especially if scott goes, but if he stays, and with conway and bell being another year more developed, then top half ought to be achievable,, and as per this season if its tight theres not much between 10th and 6th?

Obviously what baker had was horrible and couldnt have been foreseen, but it does feel kinda similar in someways, in terms of the way they play, ages, salary level and injury history.

Yes, you would have to be seriously high level player to make it in that team… on the other hand, de bruyne mahrez and gundogan arent spring chickens anymore, over the next few years they will be slowing down and moving on, so the next generation will have to be found!

Yes, but you wonder now if the strain hes put on his body, and the physical way he plays has taken its toll now.

Im not sure, it was all very exciting signing a wonderkid from a famous club, but he had no love for us and it was a matter of winding his contract down to wait for something better to come along.. as a kante type player his work rate might allow him to do that role, but as a box to box midfielder he clearly contributed very little in terms of goals and assists, and then scott came along who is clearly far superior. Good luck to him, but hes one of the last of the mark ashton signings who we will have to give away and almost certainly will be at another loss?

Saw them at wembley about 8 years ago, im pretty sure it was “sky full of stars”when the light show properly kicked in, and its still one of the best things ive seen!! Good times!

Big welcome to ross, looks like a young de bruyne to me, would be nice to see a few de bruyne type goals!

I guess, though another million in the pocket never hurt anyone!

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??

I think the in the know guy said this was due to be announced today, but as of just now theres none of the roof is open tweets that we had yesterday?

If scott stays and conway stays fit all season (he would be looking at 20 goals) we might be in and around 10th to 6th place. If scott goes i dont see any reason to think we are likely to finish 10 places higher next season? Depends who we can get in though!

I dont think it really matters who spurs get in, they wont be winning anything anyway, especially if kane was to leave!

Someone has gone and done the wikipedia update for mccrorie…

Hopefully the prem sets them up for their new stadium, but the fact they got there with that dump is embarrassing for everyone else!!

This is frustrating, theres a serious lackbof quality on these balls into the box.. at least we get scott out of there in 1 piece?!

Looking forward to this, anythings better than that europa league final!

It looks like aberdeens season is over, this should mean its ready to announce shouldnt it?

Agreed, i think it would have been good for them to go up so they can try to get hold of the ownership of the stadium. Robins has been fantastic, and has gradually built them up despite having to play all over the place. I guess the key for them going forward is what happens with gykores, and if he leaves, what they do with the money,,, much like us with scott.

Evening, commiserations on the weekend. i wouldnt be surprised if kalas ended up at cov either, looks like and is an absolute warrior at the back but i think time has caught up with him and the way he plays. If he does go that will be 3 players that we spent about 15 million on all leaving for free!

You always chat shit when you hide behind a keyboard. Ok pearson hsas done a better job than both of them.

For everyone thinking what a job pearson has done at city,, edwards, and mark robins, have been absolutely fantastic for their clubs given the struggles they have had.

Yes and the whole of bristol is full of aesthetic delights, such as southmead road, east street and who can forget a nice drive through hartcliffe?

Yeah, being a millionaire at 19 isnt as bad as it sounds!

Would be ideal,, if we paid about 2.5 and hes a france under 21 player now, then we ought to be able to hike up the tribunal fee? Certainly up to more than the 360k we would get if he goes to ligue 1
