    That’s true, he can continue to improve our present squad though, and there may be a couple of youngster that’ll come through, fingers crossed Benerous may be one of them. In fairness to Liam he does seem to spend time trying to improve individuals, although his system doesn’t seem to help TC.

    That is very true; he has brought on Mehmeti and Tanner significantly since he joined us. They're both still a work in progress, but much better now. I think his work is cut out with improving Cornick though....

    I hope we are not relying on the hopeless scoring record of Wells, Mehmeti and Cornick to get the job done for the next campaign. We did not have a single player in the league's top 24 last season and if we are expecting some miracle to suddenly happen without bringing in a true number 9 the we are in for a struggle. Our ability, or lack thereof, is questionable when you look back at our assessment of Smodzics as a non-potential scorer it makes me wonder who is the idiot who makes these ludicrous decisions? Mehmeti will never meet the target in goal scoring and he should be sent onwards along with Cornick because waiting for either of them to find any form is like watching runny paint dry.

    Wells scored a few goals towards the very end of the season when it didn’t really matter
    Whilst he didn’t play all 46 games his goal scoring record is abysmal when it mattered more
    If he’s going to lead the line next season it will confirm our lack of ambition

    Over paid and under performing for me has creamed a living in BS3 in his time here.

    Like so many others before him RR. and when you take a serious look at our player selections over the years I sometimes wonder where our future lies? I think it only highlights our total lack of commitment to getting the job done as per SL's statements.

    It's all just words as usual and I expect to be underwhelmed as usual. We are making big things out of signing a player already on our books, who inked a new deal, and a loan player from last term who did not impress me with his performances and we seem to be looking for reasons why we won't get him based on Burnley's loss of a manager. Excuses and blatant over-hyping do not a solid team make.

    Is this the nonsense season or am I wrong in thinking that these 3 players are already on our books? This is actually the kind of hype that ticks me off about Bristol City in that they embellish stuff to make themselves look good thinking we don't have the brains to see through their guff. I suppose if you put one of our already players in the number 9 shirt they will claim they have a new centre forward for next season. <doh>

    Have you seen any of those three play? Why right them off before actually seeing them?
    I’m looking forward to see them all play.

    The 2024 English football summer transfer window runs from 14 June to 2 September 2024.

    He looked good in patches, and seemed full of potential. It seemed his lack of self belief was the problem, meaning he didn’t improve as we’d all hoped.

    The last real striker we had was Tammy.
    The trouble is a decent untapped striker is as rare as rocking horse poo and an established one is above our pay scale.

    ROD I was not aiming my comments at the players but rather how City go about announcing it like a big deal when it isn't. I wish all of the players to become legends but we have to see them play before judgement.
