bcfc01 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Shame its not happening, it would have been a brilliant signing for us and a bit of a statement too. Player with EPL experience, Ligue 1 experience, two promotions to the EPL, and still a decent age on a free transfer. Too good not to have a go at it, didn't come off, but fair play to the club in trying and best of luck to Bryan for his future. Its early in the window and there are plenty of other types of fish in the sea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name has nothing to do with it….generally many City fans think nobody is good enough for us. If it was another footballer with his profile we’d be thinking differently. Take Matty James signing. I was skeptical of James but he did come off a good season with Coventry tbf and we had a need for a CM. JB would have been a good signing but just wasn’t sure he walks into the side as it stands. Not gutted he isn’t returning. Roberts seems much more the profile we should be bringing in for that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this shows that we are much better structured in recruitment, that we are straight onto the next one. Before the Bryan interest, not saying Roberts himself, but this was the profile I expected us to go for. I guess Currie had given us that steer in January. Someone to come in, ready to play when needed, but push Pring. Roberts appears to be superior to Currie…and might even be completely free, not even compo) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it as I expect in that he's very astute defensively but less so going forwards? I read that he also prefers playing as a CB, so I'm genuinely interested to see if he's signed as cover for Pring or if he's a CB, and maybe McCrorie is signed as a midfielder? We seem to be getting lots of versatility in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Red Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Until he signs for someone else it's still on. Journos like twisting things and filling pages with non news. If he goes else where best of luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Data: (compared to Lg1 full-backs) overall - scores well in every category. defending: wins his one v ones (top left box), at least the ones he attempts. Better than average in anticipating loose balls (top right). Aerially good (bottom left). Intercepts rather than slides in on his arse (bottom right). I only found two videos of him attempting slide tackles…he missed them both. Shows maturity to stay on his feet. Creative passing: pretty much at a par with his Lg1 peers across 3 of the areas…bottom right is set-pieces, so he’s not a regular taker! On the ball: with the ball at his feet (top two boxes) he’s pretty much average. However, his progressive passing (between the lines) is very good (bottom left). Comfy getting on the ball too (bottom right) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I would have wanted Roberts and Bryan as can link up on left etc but such is life. Roberts has promise and think we ideally need a squad of 24-25. Unsure how many of the 2 fringe keepers we keep? Still questions about King and Kalas contractually so haven't yet stuck them in the below. O'Leary, Bajic, Wiles-Richards Tanner, Wilson, Vyner, Dickie, Atkinson, Pring Naismith, James, Williams, Scott Cornick, Bell, Sykes, Mehmeti, Benarous Conway, Wells, Weimann We can add McCrorie soon hopefully. Am I missing anyone in the above? I know that Bath City have enquired about taking Wiles-Richards on loan and are very keen. I think we may be looking for a conference loan personally. Still think we will be bringing another keeper to the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollywhyte Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 1 hour ago, Silvio Dante said: But disrespectful that mate. @Bcfcshags has been right about a lot, ranging from highly unlikely team selections to the new kit supplier, and has fed information as soon as he has it. He’s as sound as an ITK as I’ve seen during my time on here and has only got one thing wrong that I remember (HWR playing Vs QPR). If he’s been steered wrong here then I’m in no doubt he’ll respond in the right way. Not doubting your source, but wording it as “So we are just taking what someone called BCFCshags as gospel then?” comes across a bit needlessly confrontational Just to be clear it wasn’t intended as disrespectful more in jest, just misjudged and fair play to the poster quite clearly does have a connection based on past postings I wasn’t aware of! So apologies to @Bcfcshags if taken in the wrong way. You made me look stupid in the process at least… nothing new there mins. Hold my hands up fair play, and to be clear I didn’t have a source it was my attempt of humour Good luck abroad Joe! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyAB Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Does anyone have the clip/quote of what Tinnion said weeks ago on (I think) Radio Bristol about what we were going to do this summer?

No, because you'll be waiting until you're dead. Why would the club put out a piece about who they aren't signing? Imagine if they had to do that for every player we're rumoured to be interested in, it'd create a full time job for somebody. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
