Loosey Boy Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Is Tim close to what goes on at City? Seems to have made a couple of bold statements in last 24 hours re outgoings but also that we are in advanced discussions with five clubs, stating that we are after two perm and one loan signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Unless City get offered silly money none of our players will be off this month. The club have no need to sell anyone. I predict that if City don't reach the PL this season then Bryan in particular will be off in the summer. One of the bigger PL clubs will offer silly money for him.

Tim - can you give us more intel on this? I’m not sure Tim has said anything any of us wouldn’t have guessed. Imagine Downsy had tweeted this! I’m amazed at the amount of info the stewards seem to know, when in fact they are never right. The only gossip / rumour I heard from a fan (face to face) that was 50% true was Kodjia was going to Derby (the false bit) and Jamie Paterson was being announced at half-time (the true bit). i like the transfer forum for a bit of lively debate, opinion, but i’m Still very much one who waits for official announcement.

Players should be multifaceted. Joe Bryan is. Rob Newman was - Goal scoring defender, midfielder, forward? Defenders can play the width and length of the pitch. Full backs can play pushed up, centre backs split, midfield players rotate and on this goes. Bristol City's do. And City's players are multifaceted and this includes Aden Flint. Aden Flint is primarily a defender but he has aspects beyond defending, Aden Flint is a goal scoring phenomenon. Aden Flint is efficient at winning first balls. Both statistical facts as well as merely opinions formed by using our eyes. It makes no sense to ignore those attributes in a game which needs change, or can be viewed as virtually lost as it would to label others just midfielders/defenders, or play one formation with all players solely playing one specialised position. The days of this player does this and only this are going even for the Keepers (distributers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 I must be getting old, as I just find it unbelievable we have been offered that or turned it down. As an aside, are Swindon due a sell on in the event he moves on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Flint and other linked players have had a taste of playing in the Prem by us beating so many teams this season in the cup, perhaps this has whet their appetites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw the big centre half up front because he's got a few goals...I have to say I'm not a fan. If it's the last 10 minutes and you need a goal then yep I'm all for it! However more often than not it throws your team shape right out the window and I'm not one to have a pop at Lee by any means because I do think he's doing a great job this season, but I think it shows a complete lack of belief in your midfielders and attackers to break the opposition down. A lot of the time in Championship fixtures, it takes attacking midfielders and strikers a good 60 minutes to go through the repertoire of runs, tricks and practise moves from the training ground to suss out your opponent and sometimes even tire them out to give you that extra little bit of space or opportunity to create or score goals! So putting defenders up front tends to throw a lot of the above out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
