Reported Walsh has had his year extended but he wants to join cov. Who can blame him.

They have extended him probably to get a fee for him wouldn’t be surprised to see us go out and buy him how much do we think he would cost ?

So just to be clear. You want to buy a player we had on loan in league 1 who did not feature for bristol City in the championship? Are we not aiming for at least what Bristol City can achive? No disrepect to Walsh I think he deserves his chance but I would like to think we are looking around at players already proven in the championship (or above) that may be key to our fortunes.

What? Bristol City have been a good Championship team for many years now. If you think we’re in the market for the same players as them then you’re going to end up very disappointed

What you are talking about would cost fortunes and would abandon the model that has proved successful

I like the additional (or above) haha as if Premier League players are going to give up tens of thousands pounds a week to drop down a league to earn 5k

Tell me what do you think our budget might be, and Bristol City's budget?

You want proven Championship or Premier League players on one of the smallest budgets in the league?

I don't think we will have the smallest budget in the league. I'm also suggesting loans.

How many on here think our current squad and team ethic, system and manager actually only need a little tweaking to be a competitive side in the championship?

You have just posted we shouldn’t be interested Walsh because he hasn’t played much in the Championship but are now saying our squad also full of players who have played no games in the Championship will be competitive?

I'm more interested in what you think it will be. Pretty hefty if you think we are going to go out buying proven Championship quality (or higher)

Jesus you’re looking at £20m just to be hovering above the relegation zone.

Yes. We have some very good players easily capable of the step up. We are blessed at the back for example and we have a goalkeeper who is a lot better than many in the championship. Optimism and not forgetting the momentum we have in the currents squad will play a big part.

There's been a lot of deluded posts on this forum but us being in the market for better players than Bristol City is up there with the very best/worst (delete as applicable).

That says more about you than the excellent side Robins has cultivated, many of which are young and constantly growing better with each game.

Madison, Bayliss, Wilson they all have to mature at some point right? Why not with us? We are sitting as a squad with some very good players already who I expect will prove many of you wrong.
I guess time will tell as always, but it sounds already that some on here do not rate our chances of survival? Patently absurd imho

Have you ever considered 1) the club need the money and 2) the player may want to leave to progress their career?

There's a difference between thinking we might survive, and competing with a team who are established top half of the Championship, with much bigger attendances and a ground, for players. Could we finish above Bristol City? It's unlikely but certainly possible. Would we be able to match their wage demands or transfer fees? Not without a hugely different strategy or a mass influx of people deciding to go and watch us.

What are you on about?

Im talking about the league table of wages STP linked to. How does that say anything about me or CCFC?

What a bizarre post.

Bristol City are in with a shot of promotion to the Premier League. We've just been promoted after 8 years in divisions 3 and 4.

You think we're going to go out and buy proven Premier League & Championship players, and that Walsh is beneath us?

Let's hope we're currently preparing a bid for Mbappe eh.

Walsh was available because Bristol spent £7m on a central midfielder. That will probably be more than we spend on wages all next season.

If we’re spending less than £7m in wages next year we may as well save the costs and take bottom spot now.

So what’s the breakdown of competition in the midfield spots? What formation do you play? How many senior players are ahead in the pecking order? Also what are your hopes for making the playoffs?
