I thought he did relatively well during his loan spell at Swansea last season. 

However, I’m unsure if he improves us, largely because he was in a possession based team last season. Whereas we are much more dangerous as a counter-attacking side.

Personally, I think Nige may make a move for Khadra again.

I don’t think so the player doesn’t want to play for Bristol city that’s Khadra that is.

To add to what Just8 said.

Benarous was left at home when they went to Austria. And in the videos from Failand, he isn't involved in any of the drills involving contact - he's with the u21s while the 1st teamers get stuck into each other. 

But you're right, he is fit. And significantly, the video showing him pissing his SDS test ends with Pearson giving him a Well Done and a pat on the back. 

Again I’m sure I saw pictures of Benarous in Austria

His lungs are in good shape (he did win one of the SDS tests) but dont think he's trained with the senior team. Probably avoiding lateral movement and impacts?!

Yes he has I’ve seen pictures of him on the Bristol city site playing with the first team in Austria & before mate.

Option of Benarous playing there once he's fit too.

Thought he was fit now. Thought he was the fittest of the lot in the testing ??

Lansdown is a very honourable bloke, he never has and never will stand in the way of a dream move as long as it’s fair for everyone.

Can he honour my dream to promise land lolz

It’s a 180 million if you win the playoffs how much do you get for automatic promotion. Lolz 

Is Declan rice really worth 105

Was looking forward to watching that getting fed up of this tennis & cricket. It’s a hard life hey lolz

Signing a new deal means City can over value him again meaning possibly no move

I think you have that bit wrong as City & Scott could agree to a buy out clause in the contract.

I'm starting this thread because the Jason Knight thread appears to be losing it's way with forwards as the main topic.

A big, tall target man will probably never be recruited by Pearson, simply because his idea of attackers are those with speed both initially and over a distance. He knows from his experience as a big central defender, that the big guys like the Welsh lump, Moore at Bournemouth are not too difficult for a decent defender to handle.

Thus he's brought in  a couple of big defenders for us to cope with that type of forward player who is still preferred by most Championship clubs.

But those big centre halves find it almost impossible to deal with the electric pace of those not so physically endowed.

So we definitely do not need a six foot plus target attacker while the emphasis is on speedy attackers.

Well Pearson did have Harry Kane on loan at Leicester city. So I would never say never.

Derby fan trolling me on FB isn’t very impressed 

We are bigger than them tho. every time I go overseas I never see a Derby flag or anything being sold Derby. Bristol city I do true facts

Gotta love City fans sometimes! Here’s a player who’s got two Championship promotions under his belt, plus another play off season, who’s played 28 times at full international level for a decent national team…….but who’s apparently not good enough for Bristol City and a waste of money.

I know football is all about opinions, but sometimes there are some relevant facts in there too. 

I would of preferred a small minority of city fans.

next time hey lolz 

Drama Queen we follow till we’re dead. 34 years since my first time at Ashton Gate.

Blimey, how to go over and over the same thing without really saying anything.

Exactly what I thought.

So i take it that if Scott does leave we will be looking for two new midfielders

Callum Styles being linked as Scott replacement. I would be happy with that.

Out of interest when did he say this? 

I have a feeling apart from Knight thats us done in the transfer market 

It’s quoted somewhere. If Scott goes it’s not done.

I hope one day we find out why he pulled out of coming back this summer. Leaves a bad taste. Best way to show him is finishing above Millwall. 

Does he not mention in his millwall interview? 

4 minutes ago, SBB said:

I think we only find out when he decides, whether that’s resigning or he’s signed for a new club. My gut feeling is he’ll leave but we may not hear anything for a while. 

Shame was hoping he would stay. 

Am I right in saying we find out tomorrow if he’s staying or not??

Not what I was getting at at all. I wondered if he felt that the all-star wage he can undoubtedly command wouldn't be better spent on the next big thing, sort of thing.

So he is a Bristol City supporter then ?

Just listened to this. Reading between the lines, although in fact it seems pretty clear to me, Joe expressed concerns that he would be a high earner at the twilight of his career and perhaps therefore not the best value for money signing for his hometown club, and he would rather take a last payday from someone else who he didn't feel the same emotional connection to. Just me who reads it like that? 

Joe confidence is obviously low if your right mate
