The Fat Controller Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Players i'd like to see at the gate (most not realistic) - Holt, Tyson, Hoskins, Maynard, Sharp, Keogh, Jarvis.I'm sure you'll see most of them at the gate at some point this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 i'm more concerned with the service our current strikers are getting (lack of)rather than bringing in another striker, bit more effort in the middle of midfieldand on the flanks creating stuff for a pocher style jevons any how brooker will be back soon.I agree, we need to bring in quality to that left hand side first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Nah they don't need him.I think Calderwood sees Tyson and Agogo as the first choices and then he has Harris and Dobie for backup as well as Holt + several others.Rumour is that they're in for Jarvis from Gillingham (winger) and funding that is why they were keen to offload Holt.Just reading the Evil Post and they say Forest are offloading Holt to get Hoskins! proof they get their best rumours from here! I'm with you though, Jarvis seems the more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Boy Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hoskins, born Nottingham. Are Forest offloading Holt to the highest bidder to bring Hoskins home!Got it in oneSo, as they haven't now got our cash to finance the deal there are two ways this can go.We sign Holt after he's been told by CC that he's on a "Stewart"We sign Hoskins instead of them.SimpleJust reading the Evil Post and they say Forest are offloading Holt to get Hoskins! proof they get their best rumours from here! I'm with you though, Jarvis seems the more likely.Can't see the Gills selling him until Jan,as he won't sign a new contract and we'd have to exceed £300k as they've already rejected £250k from Plymouth.I'd like to see him here though.

samo Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Got it in oneSo, as they haven't now got our cash to finance the deal there are two ways this can go.We sign Holt after he's been told by CC that he's on a "Stewart"We sign Hoskins instead of them.Simple I like the way you think! Not only would we be buying an ace looking player but also getting one over on our fellow promotion challengers! Can't see the Gills selling him until Jan,as he won't sign a new contract and we'd have to exceed £300k as they've already rejected £250k from Plymouth.I'd like to see him here though.I would like to think that if Jarvis is anywhere on Lansdown's and GJ's "arm-long" list then we would at least try and bring him here. We need a winger or two, the lad is obviously looking to move on and we must have some money to play with, otherwise the Holt stuff would not have surfaced. And with the guy only being 20 year old and Plymouth only being a single division above it won't ruin his career waiting six months to be plying his trade at a higher level.

BS10 RED Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Icant really see anyone comming in now before january. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I might be mistaken but I thought I saw on SSP that Warnock has allowed 4 players to go out on loan till Jan..Might be worth looking at, although I can only remember Neil Shipperly..

Andy Horsman Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Dismiss Knight at your peril, he is a proven goalscorer who would get us the goals that we sadly lack. Forget his past, I am only interested in City going up forget personalities goals are all that matter, or perhaps keep Barry Corr he seems like a nice lad, doesn't score too much but a bloody nice bloke.... So is Baz, but we don't want him back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenchred Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 My money on us actually buying someone would be No-one! I think the Holt rumour was started at the City end to appease the fans. Mr Landsdown will not spend money (His or the clubs) just carry on spinning us yarns about this target and that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holt is quoted as being told by Calderwood that Forest had accepted a bid from City and that he ( Holt) had to get his ar5e down to Bristol to discuss terms with BCFC. Holt then goes on to say that after meeting with City he rejected the move as he preferred to stay in Nottingham and see things through there after discussing things with his wife who is on the verge of giving birth to their child.That's one herll of an elaborate rumour City managed, especially if they were able to get Holt to confirm everything on the record.

I bet Holt is really p155ed off to learn that his trip to Bristol was just part of an elaborate hoax by City's Chairman to make City fans think that he was prepared to buy in a decent player!Sorry I'm not technologically smart enough to do those clever link things so had to cut and paste!City move not right - Forest star Holt joined Forest from Rochdale for £300,000 last season Nottingham Forest's top scorer Grant Holt has explained why he rejected a move to Bristol City last week. "Out of courtesy to City, I went to talk to them, but at the moment I don't think it's the right move," the striker told the Nottingham Evening Post. "But I'm disappointed that the club don't value me enough to keep me here when I've got eight goals this season. "It's not a nice position to be put in when my wife's got three weeks to go before she gives birth." Holt, 25, moved to the City Ground from Rochdale for £300,000 in January - and the bid Forest accepted from City was reportedly the same figure. Despite being top scorer this season, he faces competition for places up front from Junior Agogo, Neil Harris, Nathan Tyson, Jack Lester and Scott Dobie.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 With Bournmouth languishing at the bottom of the league, the smart money is on a bid for Hayter, I for one hope not as he is no better than we already have IMHO. I have a sneakty feeling that Johnson has something up his sleeve....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
