Well the George Saville one looks like it's definitely going to happen. When Pete O'Rourke tweets it you know it's true. Would expect that one to be done before Scunny. The James Tavernier rumour has only really just surfaced. He doesn't get game time at Wigan and he was very successful in Rotherham's promotion winning side last season so looks like a decent signing. Hopefully both are done and dusted for the West Ham and Gillingham game. Will give a chance for some players to be rested.
It mentions Saville on the clubs website so that looks likely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Saville

I like the fact that SC is targeting youngsters with talent and drive and not journeymen looking for an easy pay check.
Ok these look like two good signings however stil concerned about the lack of forward action seeing that for the last 5 games with only had the two fit strikers (or 3 if you count Karleigh)
Agard and Wilbraham back soon, if you consider them, Smith and an in form JET our striking options seem fine
City complete capture of Wigan Athletic defender. City have completed the loan signing of Wigan Athletic defender James Tavernier. The 23-year-old has agreed a loan switch for the rest of the 2014/15 season, and links up with the squad for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One match at Scunthorpe United (3pm). Manager Steve Cotterill told bcfc.co.uk: “We were looking at James last year. We’re pleased to be able to bring him on board, especially after losing Todd Kane who was able to play that wing-back role as well. “He’ll give us extra legs and quality during our run in.” A right-sided defender, Tavernier came through the Leeds United Academy before switching to Newcastle United on 2008. In total he played just 11 times for Newcastle’s first team between 2009 and 2013. However, he did benefit from a raft of loan spells at Gateshead, Carlisle United, Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons, Shrewsbury Town and Rotherham United. He won promotion with the Millers via the League One play-offs last season and then made a permanent move to Wigan Athletic in the summer. He has made just four appearances for the Latics to date and now has the opportunity to challenge for a first team spot with Steve Cotterill’s City.
I was hopeful that the lack of movement on the foward line meant that these two were back soon and if that is the case and if we can keep Smith then yep I'm happy with those 4 as well
We're still hoping to get another 2 players in according to Cotterill. One is rumoured to be Daniel Bentley of Southend and I'm assuming the other will be a striker. Hopefully we can extend Matt Smiths loan as well as that runs out on the 25th!
I can see the threads appearing soon. Saville is ****e Tavernier is not worth a toss They've both had 10 minutes and I don't like what I've seen
I sincerely hope that these two new signings know the rules of Monopoly, Scrabble, Tiddly Winks and all the other board games, otherwise they may not integrate very well.
