Indeed.
But I mean it’s not been reported anywhere there’s a link? It’s just fans
Get in nerd, where we’re going we don’t need reports.But I mean it’s not been reported anywhere there’s a link? It’s just fans
WHY ARE WE TALKING LIKE THIS IS A THINGLots of talk here about Bristol City binning off a player they paid £500k for, rising to £1m.
That’s not the case. They offered him a contract, but he declined. I can see their perspective that he hasn’t played in this division and has been paid for 12 months for no real reason, so may owe the club some loyalty and possibly lower wages.
I think they fail to see to see Sky Blues perspective that he was our POTS. We’ve got others who bridged the gap from league 1 to Championship who lacked the ability he had. We appear to have more faith in him than they do.
I just fear for the wages. Not sure we can match his aspirations. That being said, I’d give my left nut to a hungry cannibal if we haven’t made enquiries long before now.
Pretty clear sheaf signedThese are the contenders for the two central midfield slots (even if only in a our fevered imaginations) :-
So we have Hamer, Sheaf, James Walsh or another signing for three slots.
- Kelly, Sheaf, James, Hamer, Eccles, Walsh, AN Other.
- We would not have all seven, but we would have 5 - with Eccles as the 5th.
- Kelly is obviously in,
- Hamer is saleable so not as compulsory,
- Hamer, James and probably Walsh are not viable to be purely in the squad as bench warmers,
- Kelly, James and Walsh all have dodgy fitness records.
- I assume Sheaf's fitness issue is now resolved.
- Sheaf is not yet a done deal
My preferred first choice pairing would be Walsh and Hamer, but I suspect practicality will rule out Walsh.
NB Three in midfield usually means only one up front, so is unlikeley to a preferred formation for SBT members
I think it’s now out of James or Walsh I think we will go for Walsh with his age etc in favour of how the club works re sale etc unless Hamer goes then I see James & WalshPretty clear sheaf signed
I like walsh but if it's a choice then james wins every timeI think it’s now out of James or Walsh I think we will go for Walsh with his age etc in favour of how the club works re sale etc unless Hamer goes then I see James & Walsh
Why isn't it feasible to have James, Hamer, Walsh, Kelly, Eccles, Sheaf? Theres been times this year we have had to play with 3 CM's with either Shipley or Allen playing as one. I think if signing Walsh and James meant that Eccles had to go out on loan then Robins would do it.

You’d like to think that with a proper season not so condensed injuries aren’t going to be such a problem. Keeping Eccles around for a bit part here and there isn’t going to be the best for his development. Even if we sold Hamer I’d consider sending him out to L1 for a season. It would be best for us and him if he can start 40 games next season.Eccles won’t go out on loan too versatile ideal for the eighteen player squad and that’s a crucial point at times last season due to our chronic injury situation our bench was weak leaving Robins with little room to change things during the game that improved towards the latter end of the season and we were better for it.
Allen will most likely move on so this will be his improved replacementWhy isn't it feasible to have James, Hamer, Walsh, Kelly, Eccles, Sheaf?

Exactly, thats why I don't get why it has to be 1 of Walsh or James because Sheaf has signed. At Barnsley we played a 532, and most of the time we play 5221, thats at least 3 midfielders required each game.Allen will most likely move on so this will be his improved replacement
I don’t think having Walsh, Hamer, James, Kelly, Sheaf is too many CM’s considering we play with at least 3 CM’s. That’s 5 fantastic options for 3 positions

James and Hamer are much better than Walsh in my viewI like walsh but if it's a choice then james wins every time
Interesting;
Matt James prime target??
Don't know, is the honest answer to that.Isn’t this guy just reporting information already out there and then making up the rest?
Yeah, he's just an aggregator, better than most admittedly, but it's all stuff that's in the public domain elsewhere.
My new favourite is this guy:

Largely illiterate, clearly a kid, 'reports' things days after they are elsewhere whilst claiming to be an 'Insider' with contacts at the club.
Somehow people lap it up!
Ha. You beat me to it by seconds!
It’s so sad. ‘Insider’
