The club cannot do anything they promise it seems we will be left clutching at the dross that teams DONT WANT Absolutely. Our signings should be so early that they're still foetuses. And surely, the very definition of a signing is a player that another team don't want? Because, you know, think about it...

Hello Dave Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 27 minutes ago, Nogbad the Bad said: There have been a lot more reports than just some bloke on twitter, more than enough imo to say it'll be a surprise if they don't sign. These reports might well be right, but we hear enough rumours every year, that turn out to be bollocks! In the case of Bryan, I would suggest he falls into the unlikely category, just on wages alone. I hope not, as he would be a quality signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Bryan, I would suggest he falls into the unlikely category, just on wages alone. I hope not, as he would be a quality signing. Study the evidence…in order: Nige hasn’t shut down any mention of Bryan in interviews - normal stance would be “I won’t talk about players at other clubs”, or “we aren’t interested”, in Joe’s case he’s freely talked about him. Bristol Post continuation of the story that it’s virtually done / is done - and they don’t source their stories from OTIB no matter what some think. Some posters on here are actually ITK and are saying it’s done. We actually hear very few rumours from the right places. If people want to believe a 13 year old’s twitter account with 20 followers or a WUM with the twitter handle of “<insert name>ex-scout” then they’ll get a very lopsided view of what is a likely and what isn’t. See point 2. above re those crap rumours that are quickly shutdown by James Piercy…because he’ll seek out any truth before getting behind it. Finally, transfer deals do fall through, or take a late twist (failed medical, Joe himself hot-footing it to Fulham from Villa), but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t true.

I'd be a bit worried if there weren't any strong rumours, but sounds like we're just waiting for their club seasons to finish before the news is delivered to the fans. Keep the faith.

Hxj Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Plus some players will need to wait until the end of June to pick up any end of contract or end of year bonuses before they sign elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember Cordells in town (opposite Lewis’s). They always had a sale on! How about Shoezone, it's seemingly been 'closing down' for about 10 years. This panic reminds me of some crappy little club getting knocked out of the league cup before it actually started, can't think who it was tho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLRed Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 Would love cannon at City if we needed a striker. Proper player him. Will easily bang 20 goals in the champ in the right team but there is a lot more to his game than just goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
