    I think the LUFC jury is still out on Killa. Some say he's a good player and others don't rate him at all. Personally, I like him. He has a brain, is calm and we seem to play better, passing football with him in the team. His passing can sometimes be a bit hit and miss but so can everyone's at this level.

    Good luck. He can pass, but he's lazy & can't tackle

    Advantages: can get the ball forward to create attacks, makes a killer pass on occasion, directs the players around him to make sure no-one's slacking off, takes corners reasonably well and slows the game down when necessary with simple passes.

    Disadvantages: lightweight, gets pushed off the ball quite easily, slow, misplaces a few passes right in the vital areas in midfield (as expected like Emma says), doesn't get stuck in, rarely gets in a position to take a shot, bad temper and could upset others in the dressing room.

    A pretty limited player but he would probably work for Bristol City. No offense but I don't think you'll make the top half and that's probably a fair reflection of Kilkenny's ability.

    Yes. I assume from a brief stint with the Robins on Football Manager that Cole Skuse is your current defensive mid guy?

    Millens, I just made sure to put it because the Sky Sports article bizarrely said you had promotion ambitions!

    Yeah we are lacking in the creativity department, we have Cisse, Elliot and Skuse for the sitting/donkey work/graft, probably why we're looking at him then.

    I'd put us at about mid table myself Donald as it stands, but if we manage to keep Maynard and add just a couple more then I reckon we could surprise a few people this time around

    I spent 3 happy years as Brizzle manager after being brutally and unfairly sacked by Leeds.

    Of course we have ambition - why would anyone think otherwise? We were in the playoff final whilst you were floundering in L1.

    Have you not heard the words from our benefactor and ex-chairman: 'I intend to bring Premiership football to Bristol'
    Have you not seen our new 'World-cup-bid winning' stadium plans? Building begins this Autumn.

    Isn't having the England Goalkeeper (only dropped by ignorant Italian because of CC status - not ability), the best striker outside the Premiership, the best winger outside the premiership, plus being able to attract Kilkenny (ok not signed yet, but we are ahead of you, Florest and Hull in the race), a sign that certain players are starting to notice us and take us seriously?

    We haven't got the history - or the arrogance of Leeds or Forest, but we have LOADS of ambition, and if it weren't for the coppout debacle last season would have definitely been up around the playoff zone.

    Best Winger?

    When did Snodgrass sign for you?

    David James isn't he about to get his bus pass?

    Kilkenny is okay and wanted to go to a team willing to pay him over the odds step in Bristol City who spent 112% of their Gate sales on wages last year haha recipe for disaster.

    Kilkenny is a passenger. People have this bizarre idea that he's an amazing passer, but he's not. He's made a few great passes in his time at Leeds, but mostly just plays the easy sideways pass. He's small, weak, slow, doesn't provide anything in defence. He can't cope in a midfield 2, and in attack doesn't offer much either. He's scored like 5 goals in 4 years at Leeds. An average League One player.
