He was the player exchange plus money for Keogh,, so maybe some truth in this one....

Yeah Ive heard this, but is he any good? Rather keep Keogh, than a swap for this guy

Sterling Archer · Jul 3, 2012

Bristol City supporting mate say he is really good/decent prospect and that he'll be pissed off they've renewed Louis Carey's contract if they are letting him go. Sounds promising.

I seem to remember talks from a couple of years ago, that Arsenal were looking at this kid. That's got to be positive.

He's good I'm told - Keogh's going anyway so good deal for us.. rather that than let SISU take all the money from Keogh and just get in another freebie - we wouldn't be able to get Wilson any other way

Waldorf · Jul 3, 2012

The clue is in the "signed a new contract last year". What makes anyone (including Sky Sports) think we can afford a transfer fee?

IF it was part of a swap deal I assume there wouldn't be a fee.

skyblueman · Jul 3, 2012

Player plus CASH that's the best kind of deal we are going to get from SISU

I also think that the general football public aren't fully aware of our financial constraints. They just assume that the club doesn't spend money out of choice, I remember previews for last season where some seemed perplexed that we hadn't attempted to strengthen our squad.

SkyBlueJohnso · Jul 3, 2012

Wilson plus some cash for Keogh i'd be happy with

castlevaleskyblue · Jul 3, 2012

Wasn't it earnshaw and cash yesterday? Rather have that

CovLis86 · Jul 3, 2012

I'd like earnshaw, but chances are it would be like for like.

Chipfat · Jul 3, 2012

Im not sure Cardiff can offer a Bristol player in a deal for Keogh!!!!!!!!.

Sterling Archer · Jul 3, 2012

I'd prefer Wilson+cash over Earnshaw+cash for the following reasons:

a) Earnshaw's legs are shot so I'm told and unless you present him an opportunity on a plate, he isn't very mobile these days;
b) Wilson is 23 years old, young and highly thought of at his current club;
c) Wilson is a defender so we would be replacing an outgoing defender with an incoming defender;
d) ROD, Cody, Elliot, Jeffers are all quie short strikers, I'd rather the next striker was a target man or had some presence about him;
e) Earnshaw would require more wages being used up than Wilson.

theprince · Jul 3, 2012

Bristol City are strapped for cash too, talk of possible admin. last season so they would have to wheel and deal like most. Talk of a million+ for Keogh would be beyond them so throw a player in to help.
I would much rather be in Cardiff City's shoes though and use that printing press they obviously have to generate money.

Glen · Jul 3, 2012

yeah £1m and him for Keogh is my idea

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 3, 2012

Wilson would be a good signing but he signed a 3 year contract last year. So he would cost money.

Only way he would come is with Keogh going to the other way, but I can't see Keogh signing for Bristol City anyway.

He sounds a promising lad but it looks like he don't fit with the new manager.

sw88 · Jul 3, 2012

Sounds promising player. Let's hope there's some truth. Surely we will spend something on a player and not just rely on frees?

COVENTRY CITY are keeping tabs on Bristol City defender James Wilson, according to reports.

The 6ft 3in centre-back signed a new three-year deal at Ashton Gate last season but has been linked with a move away from the club.

Sky Sports reports that the 23-year-old, who can also play at right-back, has failed to make a major impact since Derek McInnes took over as the Robins boss.

They claim that the Sky Blues are monitoring the situation, along with Sheffield United and Derby County.

City are looking for defensive reinforcements after the departure of Martin Cranie and James McPake this week.

The future of Richard Keogh - who is uncertain with Bristol City, Cardiff City and Leeds United all keen on signing City's star centre-back.

It makes sense as a part-ex for Keogh, but would much rather keep Keogh and risk losing him for free. Although relocating back to Bristol would suit him, as a playing move, it would be a step back to a place where he has mostly bad memories. If he moves again now or next Summer, he should be looking to a side who has serious promotion ambitions from The Championship. Bristol don't.

When he goes he'll follow Ransons money to Cardiff,seriously would love him to stay but just can't see it with the finances,if he stays it would mean putting money in or selling others ,who?

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 4, 2012

Cardiff is what I expect. Like you say, more than coincidence, isn't it?
