internetjef Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 After spending quite a decent amount on styvar (according to zilina about 700k), do we reckon there is much left in the kitty for other acquisitions, or will we be looking at cheap options now and loans. We know we are def looking at other players at least so that is good, just wonder what kind of price we can compete at. I was hoping we might bring in a quality centre midfielder in the mold of Ben Watson, Ferre Bodde or Keith Andrews (if he doesnt get a look in under Allardyce), preferbaly who can take a decent freekick, but they would all be over 2m probably. If theres a bargain to be had then I'm all for it though! Also anyone heard anything about the serbian winger who we were inbtertested in, on the videos he looks pretty classy with tricks and turns, something we maybe don't have down the flanks at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 nowhere near 700k according to GJ - he was out of contract at the end of the season - so we got a bargain apparently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of Action Man Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Thisisbristol say we got him for 750,000 euros (£711,000 apparently) Doubt we will sign anyone in the central midfield role now, might sneak a cheap right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yate super reds Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 i think there will be 2 or 3 more signings and players leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlicbread Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 According to GJ it was nowhere near that amount. He also said that we have a chairman who enables these sort of signings to be made without players needing to be moved out beforehand - in other words, the money will be made available if the right player becomes available. Players can be moved on later. That's how I read it anyway. So, if Ben Watson or the like is available for the right money, and wants to come here, the money could be made available. Unfortunately we are competing against a lot more glam clubs in the prem / london....it aint going to happen I'm afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maltshoveller Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 As barnsley seem to be after ORR I would go for swap deal with Anderson de silva not sure how much it would cost!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 nowhere near 700k according to GJ - he was out of contract at the end of the season - so we got a bargain apparently! Hard to understand why Zilina should go out with an overprice. After all they need to replace Styvar. Think 775 000 EUR is the correct price if all add on's fall out. SL has earlier said that he believes different forms of incentives will be more and more common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonyate Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 That's only the same sort of money if I buy a tea & a pasty down the gate to SL that falls out his back pocket when the maid picks up his trouser in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 There is no way that the money for a player in the mold or calibre of Ben watson will be made available its all just good publicity to say we got Styver on the cheap etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Dan Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Barnsley can pay more than City ??? I'd have thought it's more likely there's a difference between "can" and "will" in that instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'd have thought it's more likely there's a difference between "can" and "will" in that instance. Strange situation really. Say Bradley does get his wish and moves for equal or more money than his team mates, is that not the issue with what is happening here? Personally I think they (Brad & Gary) are both very strong characters and neither want to budge. Sadly I can see both parties losing out eventually.
