Josh Scowen, right.
The Robins are looking to bring in at least one central midfield player to boost the ranks this summer and head coach Lee Johnson knows plenty about Scowen from his time as manager at Oakwell.

Scowen's versatility will also be an attraction for potential employers as he is able to operate on the right side of midfield and at full-back.
City boss Johnson said recently that he hopes to have at least “one or two new faces on board” before the squad depart for a warm weather training camp in Tenerife next month.

Transfer rumour!

 

I think we were this excited about Derry and Clint too




(Im a glass 2/3 full sort of person)

 

Someone actually impressing in a team that finished in a lofty mid table position sounds like an improvement.

 

He's a good player which begs the question of why he'd want to play for us.

 

2 goals and 3 assists in 41 games, means he makes a telling contribution every 12 hours of football, whats not to like?
I'm on the vinegar stroke with this one.

 

With that record he'd slot in unnoticed, mustn't upset our equilibrium...

 

sounds like its true then

 

2 goals? That'll never do. He'll show Luongo up

 

I always dreamt that I would support a club which would be in a battle with Bristol City to sign an out of contract player I'd never heard of with an (on paper) truly mediocre record.

Happy days.

 

so much better to sign champions league winners like boswinga aye stan
