'Orns Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Bought him from Liverpool on fm a few years ago, made me a lot of money! On that basis, I say we sign him!

redcherryberry Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Can he cross a ball though? Why we take gambles on these Scottish players when the ones we've purchased recently from their before are not good enough?! Amazing to think we spent 800k on Clarkson and 500k on Sproule.

Get what you're saying mate, but it sounds a lot better than 'defensive midfielder' to me! We've picked up some crap from Scotland in the last few years, but KM, so far, has been bang on in his transfers. Put some faith in the guy!

Its the Bristol way. Slag someone off before they have a chance. Say I told you so if they turn out to be poor. Say how pleased you are to be proved wrong if they do well. People are scared of being wrong so its easier to criticise than to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolian76 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It's more to do with the standard they're coming from rather than their nationality. Sproule's Northern Irish, Flynn was at Liverpool so for all I know could be English. I wouldn't be keen on us signing players from League Two for this league, Falkirk can't be any better than most of those teams. Totall agree, signing Albert Adomah from League Two Barnet was a shocking move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone since the 70's and 80's Just look at more well known players in recent years to, Kenny Miller and Barry Ferguson. Scottish football is litter. Id much rather go for a young and up coming League 1 or 2 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 If he plays in midfield, and will only cost us 350K, sign the man up. Worth a gamble given the time constraints and our lack of creativity IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yeh ok, but I still wouldn't be keen at this point signing players from League 2 or Scotland. There's a lot at stake. Adomah or Gerry Gow doesn't sway it for me. How about we start Sproule, get Webster and Miller back and everyone moans whenever Clarkson starts - see how we do then. Seen enough from Jamie Mac over the past few years to realise how shocking the standard is to see him knocking on the national team door. Charlie Adam was signed from the SPL - so there is some talent there, its just finding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowie Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY: No bids for Flynn - yet Published Date: 31 January 2011By David Oliver Sports Editor FALKIRK have denied a bid has been made for prize asset Ryan Flynn this lunchtime. Bristol City have been credited with a £350,000 bid for the winger, but at 2.30 p.m. Falkirk sources said no conatct had been made today (Monday). The price quoted is also understood to be below Falkirk's value of the player. One player on his way from the Bairns though, is left-back James Bloom. The Welsh youth international will go on loan to Alloa, where he has spent previous loan spells, until the end of the season. The Bairns are also waiting on news of another possible target coming into the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claverham_Red Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Wigan have signed James McCarthy and James McArthur from Hamilton in recent seasons, and seemed to have done pretty well for them. Obviously there is some talent up there, so if there was any truth in City interested in Ryan Flynn, I certainly hope he can do the goods down here for City!
