    Nah he was out of contract so we didn't technically sell him.

    Sounds exactly our type of signing, unlike the ex Swindon guy.....

    We have had a good window so far, however, I (and many, if not all others) are still surprised we cannot get a striker in, yet again........ There seems to be a curse for a manager named Johnson at Bristol City when it comes to signing strikers, as it was GJ's major failing in our play-off year as well. At least back then he could cite money and we couldn't afford it, whereas now we can, but that striker still remains elusive..

    Depends on how we play
    Diedhiou
    Elliasson Palmer Weinman
    Pack. Brownhill
    DaSilva Webster(ANO). Kalas. Hunt
    Bentley

    With Szmodics, Taylor Patterson COD in reserve

    Not too shabby
    Szmodics is someone I’m looking forward too, be nice to get him into championship games as impact rather than rushed in.

    I hear you ROD, but essentially that is exactly what we had last season, and it wasn't really enough was it? If you play one up top, you get isolated and marked out of the game fairly easily, as happened to Fammy many times, then you're relying on goals from those in behind, and again they didn't deliver enough last season, Sammy is untried, and is a lot to expect him to step a division and score 10+ goals.

    If we want to move from a top 8 team, which I believe we are comfortably this season, to top 6, or even top 2, we need more goals than the last 2 seasons. I don't see where they will come from this season. with the current squad.

    I don't wish to be negative after what has been a great summer, but as I say, if we are aiming higher than last season, we need another option upfront, otherwise, I honestly believe we will be in the 7th-10th place bracket again.

    I think it was a bum deal by us signed him for 1 year and didn't take up another 1 year option

    We are still waiting for this very expensive striker which is going too break our wage structure.

    I just hope he arrives could it be Gayle sky say we’re third favourite could it be Asombolanga,Hogan,or the lad from Sheff Wednesday the waiting needs to stop and a signing needs to be announced.

    I could see Gayle being worth that sort of financial gamble, but not the others for me, thanks!

    £22m plus add on's is a great piece of business. Good luck to Webby in the PL, I think he will need it at Brighton, but I wish him well. Time for MA & LJ to spend that money on a striker now. I think it will be an exciting day today at the gate.

    100%, but I haven't seen him linked with us anywhere. He would be the difference, and we could get top 2 with his goals.

    It certainly backs up the LJ comment on being 'expensive', as I doubt he was referring to the Connor Wickham link when he said that......

    I wonder who the 2 clubs ahead of us are?
