JBFC II Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 back up keeper/competition for Frankie, we have ayling who can back up mark if needs be so I don't think that is as important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 And another French one would be fine to settle them both in a little better.. i reckon we are looking at at least 2 players from France now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Unless cotts thinks wes is ready to be 4th choice another striker, a CM, a CB, RWB and a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollywhyte Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 A goalkeeper, followed by a centre back (Ayling to potentially shift to RWB). Then a central midfielder and possibly one more striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 And another French one would be fine to settle them both in a little better.. i reckon we are looking at at least 2 players from France now. Said the same yesterday, perhaps there's another French speaker in the pipeline to help the transition As for what's next - we all know where we need bodies, I don't care what order they come in, as long as they come in. Maguire would be great, but I can't help thing he's out of our reach financially, and I don't see Bentley coming to sit on the bench, FF must be no 1 going into the season after last year.....barring bad backs / broken metatarsals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Bentley, Britton, Gayle (on loan) and a centre half. I know we never know who Cotts and Burt go for but that lot would be wonderful IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 A goalkeeper, followed by a centre back (Ayling to potentially shift to RWB). Then a central midfielder and possibly one more striker. That sounds about right to me. I think definitely another striker needed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redarmy1974 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Unless cotts thinks wes is ready to be 4th choice another striker, a CM, a CB, RWB and a keeper Im not sure he see`s Wes as a championship striker let alone a 4th choice striker .

spudski Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 And another French one would be fine to settle them both in a little better.. i reckon we are looking at at least 2 players from France now. A big downside to buying French players, are that many of them represent African Nations and are away for the African Cup of Nations....thankfully the next one isn't until 2017.

This lad seems to be spoken everywhere as French, though admittedly of Ivorian birth; don't know what his plans are, but may not want to represent Ivory Coast.

JoeAman08 Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Pretty sure he was born in France. At least according to Wikipedia. Must have Ivorian relatives though and would be more likely to play for Ivory Coast than France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Another centre mid, definitely. It remains to be seen if Pack will cut it in the Championship I've got confidence in Pack but nonetheless it's an area where we're light after Saville going and Elliott retiring. In a perfect world, I'd like to see us end the summer with a goalkeeper, right-wing back, two centre-backs, two centre-midfielders and one more striker - potentially with Wagstaff and El-Abd departing to make way for the new recruits as I don't see them playing too much. I don't think we'll see that many in reality but I think 5 more players are an absolute must to give us enough cover for next season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedorDead BCFC Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Flint up front ala Paul Warhurst And then two more denfenders and one midfielder. Goal Keeper not to bothered about, there is always the loan window / emergancy loan to get a goalkeeper. Just use a youngster as a sub and fingers crossed nothing happens to Fielding.

GrahamC Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 This lad seems to be spoken everywhere as French, though admittedly of Ivorian birth; don't know what his plans are, but may not want to represent Ivory Coast.Both his parents are Ivorian, apparently, but as he hasn't ever been called up by them (and they have a very strong set of forwards) this bit is academic at present. As for who next, as others have said we need another four more by the time we face Sheffield Wednesday, so as long as we bring in a keeper, defender, midfielder and another forward by then the order is immaterial.

samo II Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 little a weak spot talk is getting boring Agreed; was a strong performer and very consistent until his injury. Would say we need cover, due to his injury, and for depth, but not because of his contribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think it's quite telling that SC brought in a loan player last season to help out in midfield and at right back - so I'd expect both those areas would need boosting. Also, with the loss of JET and Wadey, we're now short of a number 10/striker to replace Freeman or another striker if there are injuries. That's the bare minimum, and a loan keeper should suffice if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 It wasn't necessarily a dig at Little, but I feel we don't have good competition there with Wagstaff & Ayling both better suited to central roles and only 'emergency' backup for the position. Quite gutted Tavernier wasn't signed but trust in Cotts to have someone else lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 little a weak spot talk is getting boring Indeed. Frankly any team with Little as a 'weak link' is a damned strong team at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite gutted Tavernier wasn't signed but trust in Cotts to have someone else lined up I think that Ayling played most of his football at right back prior to last season? I'm sure I remember people on here worrying about how he'd adapt to the more central role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
