Bristol Boy Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 as the start to the season appraoches and pre season training kicks off, transfer activity seems to be heightening and the only black cloud on the horizon of a bright new dawn, is the likely departure of JA which is a shame, but at least we'll get some dough because of his age if he joins Matt Hill who obviously alerted PNE.Cotterill is a different, but talented more versatile player and let's hope if JA does go that Murray returns to form.Woodman may well go and, as I've said earlier, may well be used as a makeweight in a deal for a lower divison player such as Akinfenwa or Parkin.Goodfellow & Doherty are gone and I reckon that'll free up around £150-200k in wages, plus any fees received and add ons, as things progress.Let'shope that LL particularly and Danny Coles sign new contracts.The three players we're looking to add will, I anticipate be in within the next two/three weeks.I reckonYoung Prem Reserve Goalie-To challenge PhillipsCoughlanLower Div Target ManNot many left from when Tins took over and, by the look of things, it's a make or break season for the manager and the Chairman.

Ray White Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Jon Parkin! Good call. Big, strong, I believe he's 6'4'', can score his fair share too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 That Parkin was never on the cards Jonathan Parkin, Macclesfield was mentioned by those ITK plenty of times last year.WAKEY WAKEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 With regard to the initial topic of this thread i.e. deck clearing, changes are what were needed and it's changes that we've got. My hat comes off for the Tinman for being brave enough, despite much criticism, to clear out the dead wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geesus the City fan Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Please let any new signings be left sided! Another season of unbalanced team selections would be too much to bear.Surely theres a left footed player out there whos not a stick insect or prefers a central role!ureds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy g Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Sorry, the fact that there is a lot of transfer activity at Ashton Gate the moment doesnt in itself prove more signings are imminent. Its just because Friday is July 1st and a lot of contracts run out about now.Having said that we will probably dive in ourselves soon and get some more out of contract players. But that isnt linked to Doherty and Goodfellow leaving the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other newly promoted player-manager has had to cope with so many former team 'mates' bitching and bickering and jumping ship? When Terry Cooper and then Joe Jordan became BCFC player-managers they were never given such a rough ride by former team-mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
