He isn't, I read it as he's pushing for a move . If he really wants to go MLS then we haven't missed out

I agree we currently don't need him but if we dont sign Binks and Fadz retires/moves on then we do . He's injured at the moment so would be a signing very much for next season

Watched Bristol City about three times recently and have a lot of time for their young centre forward Tommy Conway only 21 but has pace, good in the air and a decent chance taker especially when one on one, not sure who MR is eyeing up but he could be worth a bid, one for the future perhaps.

Good player slowpoke admittedly
but it’s very rare we’ll be buying one of a championship teams best players, unless it’s one of the bottom 4 or 5.

At this point I'm questioning if someone made him up with Ai and are having us all on with fake reports!
Never heard of him yet people harp on like he'd walk into our team
I think Kitching and Thomas will be superb for years to come

They've made £35m in player sales in the last 12 months

A bit like Scott and Semenyo before him, when he moves it’ll be to the Prem

Yes they have but had to reduce a sky high wage bill not sure if much of that dosh went to the club to spend.

They are massively in the hole. Net losses of over £20 million despite player sales
Bristol City reduce losses but still £22.2m in the red for 2022/23
The fee gained for the transfer of Antoine Semenyo to Bournemouth helped ease the losses

Must consider it a manageable debt. We probably had similar debts on paper when we shelled out a million quid for Vik

Rehashing an old rumour but just read that Atalanta are interested in Morgan Whittaker. Tenuous but would fit with Nixon's "ambitious" target story. We know we have had an interest in him previously and he fits the brief for a left sided forward. Would certainly be ambitious to be able to persuade Plymouth to let him go

LW Nicolas Kuhn has just signed for Celtic, did someone say we were after a player but another club has now come in for him? no idea if this was the guy?

I doubt we'd get Conway. However that's the type i think we need to run the channels. He is quick, runs all day and is a decent finisher, im sure its what type Robins is looking for but it will be a cheaper option to develop.

They are the Brighton of Serie A with their transfer policy so I wouldnt rule it out entirely

Don't know much about the guy but my brother is a big Celtic fan and I asked him about them signing him and he just flipped me off.
Read into that what you will.

I’d love Whittaker and really wanted us to go for him in the summer but he’s a right winger and he’d cost a fortune now.
Robins went into a lot of detail last night about the scouting system we have in place and he said we never stop at looking at ways to improve the team. There’s so much that happens behind the scenes. Dean Austin and his team are basically all over Europe watching games. Then the analysts will look at the data. Robins will interview the player before deciding to sign them to make sure they fit in as a person and will add to the group.
The whole process of signing players is really fascinating to me. We all say we need to bring this and that in, it’s not as simple as that

Does Robins still go to watch the players or is he reliant on video clips only ?

That's as it should be. Having a contented squad and a good team spirit - which I believe we have at the moment - is very important.
I think MR has good man management skills.

The way he said it suggests Austin goes to watch and they report back to Robins
The modern way but for sizeable investments I still think Robins should have seen them 2 or 3 times … probably an old fashioned view I accept.
