LondonBristolian Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm delighted the club are showing this kind of ambition but also surprised as up-front doesn't seem to be the area most in need of investment. We're going to have 5 forwards, 6 if you count Burns. Granted Robinson, Agard and Burns can play wide too but that's not really the formation we've been using (though, to be fair, SC did hint about a front three with the Robinson signing). I wonder if that means we're going to a 4-3-3 once we get the right personnel to play it. It's great news and will be a massive lift to the club but I hope there's something in the bank for another central defender, a left-back and ideally two midfielders...

Mad Cyril Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I heard about our interest months ago but wasn't sure if anything would come of it so never posted anything. Well I heard about it a week before that. And so did my wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Hands up - who immediately googled 'Deighton Gayle' in the hope it was Dwight Gayles birth name ! It actually appeared that Deighton Gayle appears to be the most underused name in the whole world and if you google it now this thread is the lead link Just think Zombie - You have raised the profile of the name 'Deighton Gayle' - in internet terms , significantly , and for ever !!!

cityexile Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 if true, that is 8m dropped on strikers. Somewhat stunned by this, and hope we have a shilling or two left for the other positions. May also be getting an offer accepted is some distance from agreeing personal terms? As others have said, wonder if this is tied up with Bolaise as well in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps thats the plan? The QPR chairman just googled Deighton, couldn't find a record of him, laughed at little Bristol City signing a no one and went home for the day. Ingenious!

It’sSmiittthhh Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Would be a great signing! Finding it hilarious on twitter. Everyone is like "How has Bristol City got 6mil...?" Little do you know my friends...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat stunned by this, and hope we have a shilling or two left for the other positions. The downside of this if it does not come off is we have revealed our hand.... Or budget....so our next approach for any two bit player will be met with an asking price of 6million and not a penny less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I did say on another thread yesterday that I thought we had another 1 or 2 big signings (apart from JK) on the way. No ITK just a personal hunch and I'm glad my hunch was correct There are a lot of people on here that come out in a cold sweat when big money is talked about, but there comes a time when we have to cross the line and forget about ever going back to league 1 ever again.
