It’s not a ‘wasted’ career. Could he have achieved more, of course, will he have regrets, probably.

So if I ‘was’ the best player in the world you think they would pay Kalas £25k p/w and me £10k? Id like to think if we signed Messi at 16, had him his whole career he might be the difference to get us to the Prem…

A waste of a career? 2nd highest goal scorer in Premier League history, Highest England goal scorer and you think it’s a waste of a career? He’s stayed loyal to the club he’s been at since a kid. Had he moved 3-4 years ago when linked you would have said only interested in money. If I was the best player in the world, I would only want to play for Bristol City, I would prefer to play 700 games for us and win nothing than 50 for a premier league team and win a cup. Not everyone is motivated by jumping ship to win anything.

Sorry, you are right regarding Engvall, I was looking at market value. I never said you have insulted LJ personally, I said 'people'. The amount of comments on here calling him poisonous dwarf, Little Lee, etc even 4-5 years after he left is crazy.

If you take Transfermarkt. Engvall - £1.1m also apparently recouping £600k O'Dowda - £1.2m £2.3m is not more than £3.5m. I get people don't like LJ cos he was short, believed in himself and ultimately didn't deliver, but my god some people make stuff up!

2016 - Finished 18th 2016/17 - Finished 17th 2017/18 - Finished 11th 2018/19 - Finished 8th You say it was "his failure to improve City's league position season on season..." I used to think people gave you a hard time on here, but you actually don't know what you're on about.

I think he suffers more when playing the full match. He had a good first half, slow start to the second and then was anonymous for the last 20. I think we should have subbed him at 60mins off the back of a solid/good performance as while he tracks back well and works hard for the team, he didn't get it right with the ball later on.

From the replays Conway had hold of the defenders shirt and then fell over in front of him when in the box. Even though I shouted for it, I don’t think that should have been a pen.

Exactly! The digression of performances from players like Tanner, Vyner, Pring, James, Scott, Conway, Bell, Wells this season has been so obvious for everyone to see! ?

Imagine thinking that because the horses are treated well, it doesn't matter if they get injured during a race and are destroyed there and then...

non AI humans? You mean humans?

Ooo what does the * next to Academy for Edwards mean in your spreadsheet Dave?

Really? I think he’s not very good at all attacking. He can’t cross, does not run with the ball at pace and is very one footed. What he is good at is close control, intricate play and one on one defending (Forss couldn’t get passed him at all yesterday). He would suit a slow build possession based team, which is the complete opposite of us.

I think that's relevant to pretty much every post he makes on any topic on here...

No it doesn’t. He is now England (men’s) top ever goal scorer. End of. He’s not been proclaimed Englands top ever goal scorer against opposition people think are good, or Englands top ever goal scorer not including penalties. If he had scored 55 penalties for England he would be Englands top ever goal scorer If all 55 had come against San Marino, he would be Englands top ever goal scorer.

Hi Mr P, can you explain to me how a new/old owner writing off £x million of debt isn’t against the point of FFP, and I include us in this. How or why does the rule allow clubs to have so much debt and an owner write it off. Thanks

Today??? It's awful every game.

We are garbage.

We're playing him in the wrong position. He is not a target man, or an Andi Weimann type player. He's a technical player who would be most suited to the role Scott plays.

Can't see what our game plan is. Looks to me like it's pass it backwards to O'Leary in the hope one of his long balls to Bell or Cornick stays on the pitch and hope to pick up the drop downs. Terrible.

O’Leary is rubbish.

For an attacking full playing centre back I think Pring has been excellent. He has won everything in the air, not been beaten and bar a couple of excitable moments has been good with it at his feet, although needs to calm the long balls down a bit

Ah I saw he was missing and got excited because I thought I might have been on to something!

Could someone like Knight-Lebel be on the bench for the first team today?

I think I’d like to see the team as; O’Leary Tanner Vyner Pring Dasilva James Scott Cornick Sykes Wells Mehmeti If Wells is to be continued on the bench, I’d prefer to see Andi play there than Cornick or Bell and I’d prefer to see Cornick in Scotts role than Andi.
