Bristol City thread

[Ciderup]

Not particularly but with the resources City have at their disposal for scouting and recruitment you'd hope they could find several potential targets per position so we should never really have to be in a 'all eggs in one basket' position.

You would think so wouldn't you? With all the 'suits' at the club. I do fear that 'all eggs in one basket' is precisely what I fear we ARE doing, again!! Make LT a final offer and move on if he says 'no'. We cannot overstretch the budget IMO.

In last years kit? Yeah, ok then.

Someone just tweeted it, great rustle.

Stockhausen now reporting we've signed that de girolamo. Saying "I didn't expect this one to get leaked to be honest"

Fucking blagger, he didn't have a clue. What good is he as a journalist if he doesn't report what he knows about the bloody club and their targets!

 

[BCFC David]

For the development squad surely. The supporters page on facebook ( don't think they know more than most) are suggesting it's going to be the first team. I'll be dissapointed if that's the case.

Hopefully he turns into quite the player.

Judging by stockhausens article (although he's just guessing) he's saying that he's training with the first team squad and they will decide whether to play him in the first team or U21s.

I think he will play for the U21s personally.

He can't have known about it, he said earlier in the summer that he spoke to Johnson who had no issue with him reporting whatever he wanted.

I'd like for our better U21's to train semi regularly with the first team anyway tbh.

 

[BCFC David]

They'll need to make 11 a side anyway atm.

He knows nothing. Relies on other journos to report then claims it as his own.

Stockhausen I really can't stand him

article says he going to the u21

He is mate.

Pemberton was key to you signing him, he worked with him at Sheffield United.

Behave it isn't that bad for signings yet

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Get in!!

That bad to be bringing guys in for the U21's? At which point he may have favoured coming here as he knows someone on our coaching staff... What Walkley says could well be true.

And Aaron until it's on City's Twitter page I'm not believing it.

Nothing on the official site or Twitter.

I wouldn't know if he has but that picture is definitely superimposed.

 

[Ciderup]

IF this is true and we can add Canos, Matthews and maybe Baker, we're starting to look like a potentially good side!
ROD
Matthews Flint Baker Goldbourne
Korey O'Neill Bryan
Tomlin
Canos Kodjia

 

[CharlieAdamno1Fan]

I was surprised to see Liam Kelly go to Leyton Orient

 

[hodge]

Would expect 4231

ROD
Matthews Flint Baker Golbourne
Smith O'Neill
Canos Tomlin Bryan
Kodjia
​

The potential change being no AM Tomlin/Bryan out wide and Pack in the middle to make a 3 man CM.

With Little/Ayling, Williams and Wes currently replacing the 3 who haven't supposedly had a medical...

You're probably right fella, that does look better. There's some serious pace in there with JK, SC and JB. I wouldn't fancy facing that!
Pack and Brownhill are gonna struggle to break into that 11 IMHO.

 

[hodge]

Still feel we need another striker though, the thought of Wilbs, Agard or Wes leading the attack if/when Kodjia is selected for ACoN doesn't inspire me with confidence.

Canos won't be coming so Reid will fill that spot

We don't actually know that do we Charlie? It certainly looked like him on the pitch with LJ on Friday when he was absent from training at Melwood.
I've got no issue with Bobby by the way but thought Canos was superb against us at Brentford so will be genuinely pleased if we did get him.

[Ciderup]

Yes mate, I was told it looked like Canos but haven't a clue how that was worked out!
I reckon it was more a case of there's someone on the pitch about the right height, Canos wasn't at Liverpool training on Friday so it must be him. I'm extremely dubious to be fair but hope it's correct.
