  • To be fair, Watt and Vetokele up front again feels like new signings.

    If Fatty and Fatter are our best bet, then we will sink faster than a lead weight / Igor.

    That's the kind of creative player we need! Scores plenty too.

    Apparently he's in Bristol tying up a loan move until the end of the season now.

    Would have preferred him on loan instead of Poyet
  • We need the Poyet that left us given a run will do well would like to see him and Cousins as our midfield pairing.

    Exactly right!
    The sort of player who can unlock defences and create chances for himself and others out of nothing. We don't have a player like him in the squad.

    Tomlin would have been absolutely perfect, which of course is why we'll never get near him. Which is surprising because he's massive. Let's hope this one falls through like every other Bristol City transfer
  • Tomlin to Bristol confirmed.

  • That was one I always wished we had gone fo,r along with others like Perkins and Judge.

    We screwed up signing Judge when he went off to Brentford. Even back then it was obvious we lacked a creative midfielder, but 2 years down the line we've done nothing to address the problem.

    Between Buyens, Bulot and JBG we had a pretty good attacking midfield last season.

    None were playmakers though. We havnt had a playmaking central midfielder for bloody years. It's so long I can't be certain who the last one was. Andy Reid ?

    Nathan Jones is the manager there, and he raved about Pigott's finishing when he was here.

    Well we managed to win L1 and do well the following season without a Claus Jensen style playmaker.

    Spot on, we've been starved of one and it shows even when we look good.

    And even in that remarkable season we often didn't look great in the middle of the pitch. I said it at the time that if we had Andy Reid that season we would have been champions by Christmas.

    But then Reid would have provided less defensive cover to the back 4. And less energy on the pitch, there's also compromises to be made.

    He's not going to Bristol City. I know his mum and she won't allow it!

    So what are we predicting Jose says at the press day?

    "We have assessed the squad, and given that we will have some injured players back by april we don't see the need to bring anyone else in.
    "Although we have made some derisory bids for a few players, to excite the fans, that we will never follow up with meaningful offers."

    I;m pretty certain we're not looking to bring any more players in - certainly none from England

    Bradley Dack will be a quality signing for anyone in our league, he's a kent boy currently playing for Gillingham and a creative midfielder we've craved for years but no that would be far too simple.
  • Part of our problem is that we don't have any scouts that are familiar with the English leagues and players like Dack and Tomlin.
