atyeoboy17 Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I have to say, the silence from this club with regards to new signings is starting to wind me up. GJ stated on this site on Monday, that 3 or 4 signings were imminent.How imminent ?, this week ?, next week ?, next month ?, or next year.Am i the only one who feels that not much money is going to be spent, so why the 30% season ticket price increase.Are we subsidising the wage increase ?, or lining Mr Lansdown and Sexstones pockets.Perhaps those 2 were named Dunford in a former life.We have promotion, and we want to stay in the championship, not go straight back down, like last time.The other clubs in this division are leaving us behind, in terms of players brought in, and maybe we are missing the boat again.

wilksy Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Gary told Bristol City World: "We're quite a long way down the road with two or three players. We're negotiating a little bit and just waiting to see how it pans out. It can be a tricky business sometimes."I would have liked to have everything done and dusted before Latvia but if that's not the case then it'll be done after Latvia."

megansdad Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 the season is still a month away- we will make signings have some patience.If we did not spend any more money and kept who we have I think we would do ok -GJ wants to bring in the right players to boost the team AND WILL DO IT IN HIS OWN TIME.

For a variety of reasons they all appear to have pretty huge financial resources - Charlton and Sheff u have their £30m Prem parachute payements, Wolves and Leicester wealthy new owners splashing the cash and West Brom have just amassed £11m from selling 2 players. They also have the advantage of being either established championship clubs or recently relegated from the Prem. This means that they have both the financial muscle to compete for good players, but also are an obvious attraction for good players looking to play at the highest level.What about other Championship clubs? Barnsley - have signed odejayi for £200k from Cheltenham.Blackpool - have signed Gary taylor-Fletcher from HuddsBurnley - Berisha for £340k from HamburgCardiff - Steve mcLean free from wednesdayColchester have lost cureton and iwolumomumomomu but replaced them with Clive Platt for £300kHull - have signed Windyass for £150kIpswich - have signed no oneArgyle - Halmos for £400k from Dereceni (who?)Scunny - Iriekpen from Swans for free Hurst from Wednesday and Youga from Charlton!Wednesday - have signed 4 on freesSaints - have only signed Saganowski who was with them last seaon anywayStoke - have signed Parkin from Hull for £500k.Some of them have signed odds and ends as well but in general terms I don't think that is "leaving us behind". Would we be happy of GJ had signed Platt, Odejayi, Windyass, McLean or Taylor-Fletcher?From being a pretty big fish in a small pond, we are now a small fish in a bigger pond. GJ may well have earmarked players he wants but it is probably a tougher job trying to convince them to come here when bigger and apparently better clubs might also be after them.

When are the mods going to put all these posts into one thread?It's getting boring.Pointless.....maybe, new posts on this subject seem to turn up just as often as a new Paris Hilton porn video!!Impatient....not at all, were told players were coming in at xmas and then even towards the end of the season, we were told players had been identified and would bve bought inDrivel....I think he makes a good point, although so has about 2,000 other posts on hereThe simple fact of the matter is we were promised value for money when the season tickets went up. At this moment in time, we certainly havent got it! Yes yes, were in the championship, excellent, but with about an 18 man squad and no new blood, how long for?Again, yes players are due to join us! But these players need time to bed in, not only with the team but the area to. It would have been nice to have a settled, gelled squad ready for the start of the season....

howey_ducky Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 How do you feel. one signing wont alleviate the tension for most people mate, although it is another step forward. These peoplke want at least 2 more. i also would like one or two more signings however patience is a virtue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
