formerly known as ivan Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Anyone know how close we actually came to signing this guy? Currently making quite a name for himself in the premier league and tipped to be included in the next England squad. I know his name was mentioned a lot on here but was there anything to suggest we made an offer for him at any point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 According to a few of your fans in the summer he'd have been coming to Bristol City to warm the bench anyway, because he's not any better then what you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Its weird really because I wonder what the reaction of the barnsley forum would be if we signed up and started giving it the biggun. Never had this from any other fanbase other than the blue few down the road and I must say there are a few striking similarities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got one or two City fans on our forum, I think it's a good thing, football is all about opinions and it's good to get impartial views from other fans.

I agree with the fact it's healthy for opposition fans to communicate on each other's team as a matter of interest. But Barnsley fans do have some weird obsession with us, we have the odd PNE & Sheff Wed fan etc on here, but we have about 10 Barnsley lot on here!

The other barnsley fan on here (his username escapes me) is one of the most condescending outsider ive ever seen on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Barnsley fans on here are in the main good, knowlegeable football fans who mostly give a balanced view. Their views and insights into LJ's time there and how everything was almost uncannily repeated here was fascinating imo. Not so fascinating if you're a big LJ fan I suppose. We're divisional rivals so we won't agree on everything but, like PNE fans, I welcome their input on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say most of the comments I've seen from Barnsley fans have been sound. Iirc one of their immature fans got a bit carried away at the start of the season and that was about it. Apart from that, no problem, but there are some on here who didn't like hearing a few home truths about LJ, all found to be entirely justified. BTW these comments by their fans you objected to - were they responding to negative comments on here about Barnsley, or initiating the discussion? I do remember some over excitable, and presumably young, City fans proclaiming how much 'bigger' a club we are than Barnsley, and a few of them pointing out a few facts to contradict that, but only giving as good as they got and standing up for their club, and that's fair enough imo.

Crap is a bit harsh. First season in the Prem in a struggling team. Since Clement came in they have found some form and so has Mawson. I guess you would rather the England squad be picked on club and reputation rather than form then? Let's get Jagielka back in then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
