Brian Wilson Signs, Brown Out On Loan


Guest CTFC

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

This is my first post here on this website. I have a friend inside Whaddon Road who has just called me and said Bristol City have bought our Brian Wilson. Bristol City have appearntly offered a Player called Scott Brown in exchange.

I just wanted to know if you know anything about Scott Brown? Is he any good, what posistion does he play? I understand he was injured in a reserve game at our ground, is he fit?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

I for one will be gutted to see Scott go. I think he is an assett to the club but feel that he is out of favour because he is not one of 'johnsons signings'.....

He is a quality player and has a good shooting foot on him. He is not afraid to tackle which is something I think is missing from the modern game.

I am hoping this is all just rumour............

Brian wilson is a right back I think - oh dear for Bradley Orr and Richard Keogh - what does this mean for them????????

That was what i was thinking, so could we see one of the 2 going this transfer window, i think it would be Orr as i cant really see him improving much more, where Keogh is a young un who is improving all the time.

the link about our interest is below

possibly true,

apparenty Crewe are after him, but cheltenham have agreed a fee of 100k with Plymouth,

can playing left back, right back and left wing?

out of contract at the end of the season and Chelts have transfer listed him,

hope Brown isn't let go, though Ward has been after him for a while

so, wilson plays right back, left wing, and right wing - god, if he plays up front thats all possibilities covered, wonder what he'd be like in goal!!!!

This is madness - surely 'if' true Johnson has lost the plot........

What? We have all been crying out for a left winger who scores goals, it looks like Johnson has sourced one and he has lost the plot. Why? because he's offering Scott Brown in exchange? Whatever the fans view of him, Scotty is a fringe squad player at best here if he moves on and we get a decent replacement that's good business.

Not at all. Wilson is a highly rated young player who used to be on Man U's books. He started as a right back but over the last two seasons has been converted to a dangerous attacking wide player who can play on both flanks. Everyone seems to agree that's one of the major gaps in the squad. He scored against us in the League Cup game at their place. He is being sought by Championship clubs and 'if' we buy him I'll consider it potentially a very good signing. The main question mark I have about this deal is whether or not Scott Brown will be interested in going to Cheltenham.

More confirmation to say that a bid was definately placed and its up to cheltenham there are also bids from crewe and playmouth personally i think both are cracking players i've seen wilson twice this season as my dad lives in cheltenham.

So if championship clubs are chasing Wilson , why would he want to come to City? Has SL told GJ if you want players in you will have to do swap deals, there is no cash? Brown is an up and coming player and should stay. He is one of our players who really gives his all. What is wrong with cash if Wilson wants to come and soon out of contract!

This sounds like it could be true.

Couple of questions:

1.Why do we want another defender?

2.Why offer Scott Brown.............unless he won't sign another contract?

3.Looks like he won't get a game in central midfield. :ph34r:

4.Can't see him moving to a relegation threatened outfit (no offence, mate) when he was being touted as a player that was being looked at by Championship Clubs (allegedly) earlier this season.

Is he a right footer??

That was my concern and surely a straight cash deal would be better for us?

Can't resist can you?

I can think of two possibilities off the top of my head.

  1. It's Chelts that are interested in Brown and GJ has seen an opportunity to get an ideal replacement.
  2. Wardy has said to GJ, we don't want to lose a member of our squad in the middle of the season so Johnson has suggested Scotty as a makeweight to sugar the deal.

According to Cheltenham's site he scored 10 goals in 52 games last season, not too bad, but struggling comparatively this season. Only 3 goals in 26 starts, but if he's good enough for Plymouth, he's surely good enough for us.

Seems no point keeping hold of Brown if he's not in Johnson's plans, and if it helps provide a sweetener for Cheltenham then that's all the better.

Maybe we're saving the cash for that forward everyone seems to want?

personally like the sounds of Wilson, however losing Brown is a bit of a backward step I think, however his injury record is a concern so perhaps Johnson is looking at that??

be interesting to see what happens, but surely we must be looking at almost a straight swap?

personally will be gutted to see Brown go, think he is a decent player, with good potenital.

Interesting that he can play both sides and GJ likes a right footer on the left.......or does he?

I hope he's a real wide player not just yet another player who "can play there".

I've thought for a while that Scott Brown isn' in GJ's plans - otherwise he wouldn't have been allowed to go into the last year of his contract. He's been a bit unlucky because he seems to pick up an injury that keeps him out for a month every time things start going well for him.

I just hope this isn't true, in my opinion, brown is just the type of player we are missing in midfield, someone who can add abit of bite, and doesn't give players time on the ball, midget johnson and russell are far to lightweight, still wouldn't put something like this past johnson snr, some of his decisions have been baffling to say the least, sorry to save still not convinced by him, or his tactics(time will tell) and beginning to have more and more doubts as time goes on, hope I am wrong!

If Gj gets rid of brown then i would like to say now that hes losing the plot.Whats the man upto?

I totally agree!!! Brown is on his day one of our best players in the squad and up to Murrays recent good from everyone was waiting for Scott Brown to come back!!

Id lik to see Wilson here but not at the expense of Brown. Cant they have Woodman???

NO I CANT RESIST!

Why should i say what you want to hear.

IMO Brown is an improving player, more than a fringe player, he is a good squad player. Just because Ward wants Brown does not mean the player should take a step backwards. This is the kind of player Johnson should be keeping. If Wilson can play RB, RW and left wing, surely he could play left back then offer Woodman.

if he goes then it will be out of spite to fans that have taken to scott,

the same fans who get the ear when lee johnson is playing and his dad stares at.

I'm not alone in thinking Brown is one of our better players then..

Should be in centre mid IMO week in week out.

This aint going to go down well with me if this happens, he is after all, one of few players who actually loves playing for the bastard club!

I read it that Leeds, Preston and Birmingham were in fact interested in Scott, not the Cheltenahm player, who has interested ourselves, Crewe and Plymouth.

I hope Scotty doesnt go. He has the determination and passion that makes him a real favourite among many of us.

Absolutely agree!!! I couldn't believe this, when I heard the news on Radio Briz, just now!

As the fan selected to present Scott's "Player of the Month" award, a few months back, I too think GJ has lost the plot. Scott's just the sort of hard tackling midfielder we need (and with a powerrful shot) - in the mould of Gerry Gow and Tommy Doc.

I'd be gutted if he went.

There's clearly a lot going on behind the scenes we can't begin to imagine - and I, for one, am not happy about it...

I would be disappointed to see Scott Brown go IF he is going. But shouldnt we trust Gary Johnsons judgement on his signings? Surely we have seen the good players he has brought in with Mccombe Mcallister and Johnson. I know Brown has done well in patches but he hasnt been fit for a long time and I cant say I would miss him if he left. Maybe a move would do him good?

No it isn't!

It's moving on a player who has seldom been a first choice for Wilson, Tinnion or Johnson, who plays in a position where we have plenty of competition from better players, in order to bring in a quality player who will substantially improve the squad.

I like Scott Brown. He never gives less than 100% and we'll certainly miss that attitude if he goes, but to suggest that GJ is getting rid of him just to have a go at the fans is ridiculous.

Brown is a little terrior who gets stuck in, can pass a ball and shoot well. Who are the better players with his kind of game? You said yourself he gives 100% does that apply to all the other so called better players?

Totally agree with your last paragraph - even as a less than GJ lover to accuse him of that is just rubbish.

Whether the team would have been better with him ( Brown that is ) as a first choice is a different debate and I am not sure.

He did score a few goals though.........

Totally agree with that.

I think for some people Scott Brown picked up Tommy Doherty's mantle as the player who tackles hard and can do no wrong. He's a decent player and his attitude is first class but bringing in a specialist wide player with pace instead would be a good move IMO. If Wilson really is a wide player that is.

Wont CH. If Scotty Brown goes, will be gutted.

He sparkles with enthusium when given a chance..........but looks as though his days may be numbered at the Gate.

As ive posted before......this manager is doing things very differently, but a good chance he could fall flat on his face

Why should we take Johnsons decision as gospel?

Recently his pets Jevons and Johnson Jr have been played regardless of poor performances, IMO Scott has rarely put a foot wrong.

If hes being moved on because he isnt a favorite then its nonsense, hes the only player in centre mid who is capable of tackling and scoring, as he began to show before his bad injury.

Come on Arny - your my mate and we agree about most things but even I can't believe that GJ would get rid of a player just to spite a section of the fans !

If I am wrong then God help us, the club, the players and most of all God help GJ cos if that is the case then he is sick in spades !

not to be picky but he wasn't here when Wilson was in charge? that was the other scott brown the keeper, Tins signed Brown, one of his few decent signings

He had a trial or short term contract under Wilson who didn't want to sign him. Tinnion reversed that decision when he took over.

It is true.

Scott Brown could still turn down the move, but I'm sure he wouldn't be very popular if he did.

I will be sad to see him go, but its not the end of the world. GJ's signings so far have been spot on, so lets hope this deal is the right one.

Good luck Scott!

How about this then RTTW!

Scotty,s days seem numbered.............trust me.

And then perhaps some of the "belivers" will realise the "diciple" incharge is losing the plot!

Brown MUST stay.............he,s a quality player, 110% , but is that good enough for Mr J?

Personally, I don't know what all the fuss is about. The guy is a trier for sure and he is a useful sub because he can fill in anywhere along the middle four. I don't think he has shown any consistent form in any one position and that might be down to that versatility.

He is approaching 22 years old now and getting beyond the "promising youngster" stage, remember that Johnson has the academy guys coming through as well and has to take them into account as well.

Does anyone know when his contract expires? That might be a factor as well.

Perhaps because HB he don't get the chance with a decent run in the side?

Unlike a certain family member?
