petehinton Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Just now, The Journalist said: Given we're in mid-table obscurity and signing a 19-year-old on loan, that much-coveted pathway's suddenly not looking quite so clear, is it? (Unless there's an option to buy, obviously...) Just said the same. Not very “academy first” this window, is it 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Can’t see any point to this unless we are considering making it permanent. That’s not a criticism of the lad, I know absolutely nothing about him. Seeing as Manning was talking about being disappointed that we hadn’t completed a deal in time for the Leeds game & Bird is going back to Derby for the season, you have to assume he’ll be in the squad at Boro next Saturday, probably taking Raekwon Nelson’s spot. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I don’t want to stereotype, but across the course of my history supporting Bristol City, pacey afrocaribbean wingers are my absolute favourite. Other than that, I have nothing of value to add to this conversation. 1 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what have they been watching? Man City U21 re-runs presumably as he's only had 3 senior games in Belgium. Let's hope this bolt out of the blue turns out to be a Eureka moment.

Cov 77 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 8 minutes ago, Henry said: It really does seem pointless loaning players. I’d rather we kept going with Mehmeti, who’s actually our player. Never pointless to loan as Tammy and Matt Smith proved in the past , never likely to sign either, also looks like he plays on the other side to Mehmeti. Lets hope he does well , certainly has pace and had something for sure at Man City 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose tho that my thoughts are that Pearson used to say "no point bringing in us developing another teams player" so our strategy has now changed. A lot has been said about the path way etc and now by bringing this lad in on only a loan it's going to deny the likes of Bell and Mehmeti minutes and I'm not sure I like that strategy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihai Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 :laugh:. We get on loan players from a low rated Belgium team. We are a stronger team, richer and doesn't look good. But who knows, maybe Gurdiola fked up and he is a great talent which doesn't feel good in Belgium and wants back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scottish youth international has reached an agreement with Bristol City FC, which has signed him on loan until the end of the season. The English second-tier club has also secured an option to purchase the Scottish winger. Bristol City is currently positioned 13th in the Championship. Best of luck, Adedire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderwithtommy Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Exactly the “type” we need, now over to him to make it happen. Good signing, logical and will ask questions of the opposition in ways none of our other attackers can/do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 7 minutes ago, Dynamite Red said: Hopefully an already agreed permanent deal if successful. If it works out, let's hope so. He signed for the Belgian mob for €1.65M, should be within our budget. Let's see I suppose. Looking strong, if a bit young, for next season already and if this guy is decent and available, boom!
