Like you say maybe unearthing another European gem will be our only hope of getting someone anywhere near their standard. Tommy says look in Scandanavia?

samo II Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 1 hour ago, cynic said: We went for Gray and Gayle and that is the calibre of striker we need - there must be one out there somewhere - abroad maybe... Not seen any rumours but for me, I'd say go back to Palace and ask about Gayle again - not like he's got a decent sniff for a good while, and though our position is not good, not like Gayle isn't going to start every week here, thus her exposure. A loan, or the sale of the likes of Gray (as in: one decent year at Brentford and he was off) might encourage him; tell him we need him, but will listen to offers as early as the summer if he performs. Be it him or a similar out of form/favour top level striker, I cannot believe we don't had the resources to make this a reality. And right now we need them.

Most small , and many large , countries have weak leagues however even Scotland throws up a gem from time to time . It's about scouting and luck ! The French 2nd division where Kodjia came from is really not great . These are small town or village teams in the main and most would struggle in our 3rd division .

I think there are other Prem clubs sniffing round ,there's talk of Norwich bidding for example . I think he will have more interesting propositions than we could offer .

'Orns Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've heard from a reliable source that Bennett is now off to Blackburn. Apparently they've offered him more cash Heard that before anywhere?

REDOXO Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 6 minutes ago, Griffin said: 4 pages deep.. Nothing? Yep. Loan rules all very interesting (thanks for the info all) but eff all. A lot of speculation but nothing coming out, which says the club is playing things extremely close. With a cup tie coming that give the club a little breathing space and perhaps God forbid starts for Burns and maybe Reid, Little et al However the closer we get to our next league games the less chance of settling new players around the first team.

iamalagerdrinker Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Lewis Mcgugan sorry for the poor spelling is looking to come out on loan from Sheff Wednesday. Very good player would fit our squad well also Ravel Morrison from West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 The club is a joke. We are currently 3 players lighter. One of whom had started every game he's been here yet we let the loan expire with no deal in place. We had months to say we liked him and get it done. Not Bristol City and now we risk losing him. When the squad is this small, it is quite daft to let it get smaller without some deals in place. A week away from our next league match and we will barely it at all fill a bench. Club is being cheap and our league position is the evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Perhaps we are not going to sign anyone? Players are VERY expensive, and the financially prudent thing to do is to fill up your ISA first. Perhaps this is what City are doing. Very sensible.

It's no fun getting beaten every week , your réputation risks to be ruined and your confidence takes a hammering. This is why the club need to be at the top of their game to bring new players in , to sell them the club and a bright future in Bristol . Not sure i have the confidence in them to do it . I pray that they have it all in hand and that we are worrying for nothing but ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
