Summer Transfer Window

[Sleeping Giants]

Bristol City have apparantly recouped £2 Million of the reported £2.5 Million fee we robbed them of for Sinclair Armstrong.

That's ignoring his misuse by Cifuentes though. He is a RB but was played at LB NINE times, midfield SEVEN times and only got to play FIVE times in his natural position of RB. Like I said, I don't feel he got a fair crack of the whip and its unreasonable to judge him when he was played out of position for 75% of his league appearances. Notwithstanding all that, I thought he looked like he had something about him - I'd have him ahead of Mbengue at RB all day.

Incidentally, Mbengue is an accident waiting to happen, how rubbish would he have looked continually getting shunted into midfield or leftback like Ashby had to put up with?

We need 3, maybe 4 FBs, Adamson and Mbengue aren't good enough and Larkeche is 50/50, difficult to say with him. We are not a rich club so I feel Ashby would be a serviceable VFM acquisition provided some other FBs came in too. Ultimately, I feel the club will ignore the FB berths and continue to deploy suboptimal players there and/or shunt CBs or CMs over there to patch up their recruitment holes.

Asby played 272 minutes on loan at Bradford, mostly on bench. We can do better.

Good for them and good for him. Turkish football did Ferdinand the world of good.

Can't get me head round that, especially given that prior to JS arriving we had been playing just ONE striker up top for ages. Dunno how he fits in with Kone, Burrell and Kolli - maybe one of them is moving on?

Bamba Dieng's scoring record isnt that good, apart from a purple patch last season. I doubt it would break the bank to get him.

We will need another striker because Im sure either Burrell or Kolli will be off in the summer. My guess is Burrell to West Ham.
