    Looks tall and strong, doesn't score loads of goals like Fonte but he's a defender because his job is to defend. IMO, would be a good signing and would be a good partner for Fonte at the back. It looks like Adkins defo wants a CB then... Gorkss or Fontaine?

    He's tall, got pace and left footed which is what we need. Bristol City certainly don't have the best defence in the world though.

    One man doesn't make the whole defence though. It says that he has a ankle injury.

    Agree, this would be a good signing and a believable transfer link for once (fedup with the Gorkss/Puncheon will they/wont they stories now)

    Oh, didn't realise that. Hopefully that's the only reason they had a poor start! He could be a good signing and I trust Adkins. Blackpool Gazette also reporting about Holloway possibly going back in for Puncheon.

    I'd take £1 as long as we got him out of this club and off the wage bill.

    Dream on guys, Fontaine & Maynard are staying put! your bid will get rejected and that will be the end of that, as we have proved with Maynard all summer, we are not in the market of selling our best players CERTAINLY not to another Championship club, and we never will be! cheers and good luck for the rest of the season.

    Your right, he doesnt score goals, but then hes not a Striker so he doesnt need to! hes a solid centre back.

    if you had to put a price on him, how much would he cost? do all of your fans rate him highly?

    If i was to put a price on him then it would have to be 1.5 - 2m, most of us rate him highly but with every player, even the best your going to have the odd few that dont! hes got 4 and a half years exp in this division now and has improved his game every year, as far as im aware Millen sees him as our first team captain when hes not injured.

    £1.5million-£2million? He's ours then!? We will match that for sure, and maybe a little bit more.

    If the price was right, i'm sure you would sell your 'best' players
