Red Tel Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Don't wish to put the hex on our season, but if we do get promoted in May, which playing positions do posters on OTIB think we need to recruit for if, indeed, we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 We need... 1 x goalkeeper 1 x centre back 1 x right wing back 1 x centre mid 2 x striker Provided we stick with the same tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cottsciderarmy Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Think we need a left winger as well, Bryan is good but Cunningham won't be good enough in the Championship and Wagstaff is bound to move on, so we will need competition / cover for Bryan. A good old fashioned number 9 we've been missing for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 first and foremost I think we need to get some contracts sorted. Having done that, go (backup or number one depending on what's out there; in other words happy with fielding but improve if we can, otherwise an understudy) possibly cb cover, at minimum 2 CMs, and at minimum 2 strikers - possibly one younger and one more established.

AndrewBCFC1 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 We need a backup GK, a RWB to compete with Little, a backup CB, a CM to replace Elliot, Matt Smith and a quick striker to compete with Agard imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good old fashioned number 9 we've been missing for a while. Don't see a lot wrong with Cunningham myself. Thought he did very well recently against Donny and Rochdale. If Bryan is first choice then I can't see we're going to attract a better player to be understudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 As you with these type of threads it's hard to know what will happen and who will be here come the summer. Be interesting to see who is moved on. The only obvious one that will be moved on, to me, is Wagstaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Should City get promoted then I'm certain that Cotterill has a good idea on who he's planning to release and who he'd like to bring in over the summer. No doubt SL will provide a war chest to enable Cotterill to strengthen in order to be competitive in Championship. It seems likely to me that given his age Wilbraham will either retre or move on and so to possibly Wade Elliot for the same reason. That said Elliot is very well respected at AG and his level headed influence in the dressing room would be missed particularly by the younger players. No doubt SC would look to strengthen the goalkeeping department, the defence,midfield and the strikers. Much will depend on what players on SCs shopping list are available and willing to come to Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Realistically we should all want us to do it in the right manner - within our means and remembering we are about to re-enter a big pond as a small fish (atleast until the stadium is finished). With that in mind I would like to see us try and recruit the best players in league 1 that don't currently play for us. That way they will be stepping up to further their careers with drive and ambition. But who are the best players in league 1 that we don't already own? I assume a couple at Swindon would be prime targets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negan Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Cunningham was one of our better players in the championship? so not sure where it's come from that he won't be any good if we get promoted. Back to the thread. Hopefully we get another keeper, one that won't just be a number 2 but as good, if not better than Fielding. There was that Bentley lad from Southend we were interested in during the January window, would be a perfect signing imo. Young, very promising and in the England set up. Think we'll need another CB. Get rid of El-Abd, get Osborne back in the mix during pre season and another as back up, the 5 should be ok. Another rb/rwb to compete with Little. 2 CM's one to replace Elliott and another to have as back up. 2 maybe 3 strikers... If Wilbraham isn't offered/retires then we'll only have Agard.... So would like to see Smith come back, another target man (bradshaw?) and someone similar to Agard. Would also offer JET another 2/3 year contract.

ciderbeans Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Butland loan or permanent or Bentley permanent Liam Moore loan but unlikely as Leicester will be in same league James tavernier permanent Unsure of cm as I think pack, smith and freeman could cut it. Rolando Aaron's or jordan ibe on loan Chris long from everton permanent Matt smith permanent Pacy striker from prem like akpom or Sinclair on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atyeo Benj Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Still not convinced on tavernier he seems unwilling to attack unlike little as probably has never played in a rwb role so i would not buy him if we were to play 3-5-2 next year which will likely to be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Cunningham was at his best in the Championship. Was about to post the same thing myself. Cunningham is a very classy player and we were damn lucky to hold on to him when we were relegated; he was almost certainly our biggest asset. It's unfortunate for him how well JB is playing. GC given an extended run I've no doubt would once again show himself a good championship player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extonsred Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 All we have to do is remember the end of last season -- SC landed his players within weeks of the end and all were quality and all had clearly been committed before the seasons end. No doubt he has already got signings in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the money to buy four of the best players in the Championship. Matt Smith would be an obvious signing too but wages will be an issue I reckon.
