  1. Allows us to play Beck in a more attacking role. Ribiero is actually not a bad signing tbf.
  2. They've still had a better window than us then
  3. Has anyone in the Championship had a worse window than us? That's a genuine question as I've not followed the ins and outs at every club. From the bits I have seen, I struggle to see a club who has had a worse one than us.
  4. Woodrow fits the bill. Cheap, no other championship clubs after him, low wages. Oh and not very good. That one has a big chance of coming off. We are seriously building a midtable league one team here when we're FIFTH in the championship.
  5. Transfer dealings so far: Forshaw (free) Sanderson (loan) Kargbo (£1m) Ribero (free) I hate to continually be negative about our transfer window but I'm appalled by it. Will the LT be brave enough to ask the tough questions to the club after yet another transfer window shambles? Eustace will leave in the summer and I don't blame him for doing so. We're building a midtable league 1 team at present.
  6. We are on the verge of just signing a cover left back, two appalling reserve players from Plymouth and Birmingham, and an unknown from Serie B after brining in £40m in transfer fees. Even by Venkys standards, that us utterly appalling. A lot of excellent business being done by many other clubs in the Championship. It's totally embarrassing what this club has become. Even if we do bring in a striker at this stage, it won't be anyone of any calibre. Personally feel like our striker search is doomed now that Danns has chosen Sunderland.
  7. As many of us predicted last week, all the striker links were simply PR exercises so that the club can trot out the "we tried for some very good strikers" line tomorrow.
  8. Danns expected to go to Sunderland today. Mustafa is surely a no go after scoring yesterday. BTA is in good form at Coventry so that's a no go. They had all month to sign striker and now options are fading fast.
  9. Deleted! Got done by a paradody account on Twitter!
  10. Buckley is a talented player but has no idea how to apply his talent to influence or impact games. He probably never will at this point. Forshaw is absolutely dreadful. Look at what happened when he came on the pitch yesterday and the games he's started for us. We've had no midfield presence at all. He'll be playing in league 2 next season like Fleck. Sanderson is a passable signing given he'll be 4th choice once Carter is back. Kargbo is a strange signing and one that Eustace has made clear "the club" wanted to sign and not him. Overall I'd give our window a 1 out of 10 at the moment. Not good enough at all. Look at Plymouth, Boro, and Millwall. All sold their best player but have heavily re-invested that money back into the squad. Where is the Sammie and Wharton money? Even Wrexham and Huddersfield in league one are outspending us.
  11. The little caveat is that the fax machine does work and they do manage to press send rather than save when it's a player who doesn't cost much money...
  12. Can't help but feel these links to a couple of decent strikers are nothing but PR stunts. They can then trot out the usual "we tried for some very good strikers" line after the window. We then sign a free transfer striker from the Finnish third division in the summer.
  13. He would be a good signing. Certainly a step up from what we have. Not convinced about Kargbo but he has pace at least. I'm confident in saying he's better than Dolan and Hedges even though I've never seen him play.
  14. The players and coaches for training? 😆
  15. He's exactly the type of signing we should be making. Young, re-sale value, lowish wages, and bags of talent. Also based in the North West. Thank you Venkys for rendering us unable to compete financially in the second tier of English football.
  16. 3.5 days to save our season. Anyone have any faith in them bringing in 2-3 quality players? Me neither. Definitely bracing myself to be underwhelmed.
  17. I think Kargbo would have been a decent signing if he had signed a couple of proven attacking players to complement him. Taking gambles from abroad is something we do need to do, but we have to balance that up with proven quality too.
  18. If you bring in players like Sanderson and Forshaw to "help the group", then these are the kind of results you get. Constant downgrading of the squad, which we've seen again this window, eventually takes you to league one.
  19. Forget top 6, we need to make sure we get enough points to avoid a relegation scrap. We're sinking like a stone as we always do this time of year. Venkys really are scum.
  20. This should be a comfortable victory for Bristol City. We have a depleted squad, bang out of form, and no goals in five of the last 8 games. Still, this is the championship and it can defy logic at times.
  21. I fully expect Kargbo to join us before the end of the window. He's cheap, on low wages, and no other teams are in for him. They're all conditions required for a player to join us. It hurts to say it but we are a shambles of a club and one whose squad gets weaker every window. If Eustace leaves in the summer, which I expect, then we'll be big favourites for relegation next season. That's how bad I think we are and how good Eustace is. Wrexham and Brum will come up so that's two more clubs with more financial muscle than us. Being in 5th right now really does mask the massive problems at the club and downward trajectory we are on.
  22. So predictable. The wheels come off every season right about now when the lack of January transfer action bites year after year.
  23. It is a GK error. He's gonna come and try and punch that. It was weak goalkeeping.
  24. Lack of transfers really telling now. Some of our better players out and the form has plummeted. I really don't see us getting anything from this game now. Our record when we go one down must be one of the worst in the league. Zero goals in this squad.
