At present he’s worth about a third of that!

I'm a winner..  

Antony Stokes has signed for a team in Iran - this can only end well!

Rovers players all doing their job well, Samuel and Nyambe strong running down the right.

What stands out though is we have a real lack of flair in the squad as it stands.

Last season at times we had Dack, Armstrong, Payne and Chapman - now we just have Dack 

Poor decision making from Raya to concede the penalty but great stop to make amends 

As always please don’t link to, hint at or request streaming links please  

Cheers all

I'd say that was a weaker team than the one we finished last season with.

I’d agree with that, serious lack of pace

Kent not on the bench tonight. On his way to us hopefully

Still not convinced but we need some bodies in, need to get them playing together before the season starts we can’t start the season with Conway and Bennett out wide!

Charlton Athletic have passed on Elliott Ward which could end any hopes we had of signing Patrick Bauer

City Watch seems to think the young Man City player we want is Lukas Nmecha

 

City watch are guessing!

The article in the Telegraph is concerning, mention that we want to add at least 2 attacking players. Truth is we need 4!

A lot of focus on loans when Tony was on record saying he didn’t want that.

Really concerning, we could start the season with Conway in line for a starting spot which would be disastrous really.

Chaddy did DM me a screenshot of the convo he had with someone, can’t vouch for the info given nor the source but I can at least say it’s not Chaddy making it up 

A million times better

Wow nothing to get excited about lol really said that? Wonder how the player linked would feel

I presume it’s in the face of people asking if it’s a big money move for Maddison, a loan wouldn’t be as exciting. Or a link to a deal rather than an actual signing.

Chapman more likely not to be coming back as well he says.

Feel we all need a bit of good news soon!

Rich says the link isn’t Maddison and isn’t anything to get too excited over - so not Chapman either.

Sounds like a loan

Rich Sharpe thinks Kent may not be the first target:

‘believe there's someone ahead of Kent atm, should be bit of info tomorrow’

Chaddy always knows fans of other clubs that watch reserve football to back up his arguments, you have to admire his connections.

If Kent does come in I’ll hope for the best he’s obviously got some talent it just sounds like it’s not always used.

Wonder if Ivan Toney or Devante Cole would be considered as the backup striker option, think both are available, id take Toney if the price was right.

Why Maddison? 23 assists and 11 goals last season ( or something like that) which is more goal contributions than dack.  He also spent a couple of months injured at the end I think. Are u really telling me u would prefer Kent or loan to signing Maddison? I think singing 2 out and out wingers is more important than signing two strikers. Fair enough Kent probably  has potential to do well, but young loan players always take a while to get going and his Bristol city reviews which are from his most recent performances are not so encouraging. I would be very dissapoionted if we only signed Armstrong permanently with two loan signings. 

But Nixon hasn’t linked us to Maddison!

Honestly - I think it looks fantastic. Striking, different, modern & stylish. You'll get used to it!

Oh I like it - just wish the numbers were same colour as sponsor, navy for both ideally

Have a feeling the away kit will tie in the sponsor nicely , it’s never easy on halved shirts but this one goes better than most 

Whilst I like the core design of the shirt the colours of the sponsor and the numbering is off for me, can’t marry them up and find it jarring

Looks nicer in the official shots.

Interesting to see it in the flesh.

Blue looks too light...

My main issue with this is that there are navy elements but the sponsor is black, would look much better in navy.

Odd thing is the logo for the company is navy on their twitter profile pick so black isn’t something they are known for 

Mowbray and Waggott May miss Coventry a bit!

Overall I like it for a change though 

People don’t seem keen on twitter - I think I kind of love it though

What has been said about his attitude? I didn't hear that from friends that support Liverpool. 

I don't think it's as much of a risk as you say. It's a loan at the end of the day. I agree that we need to sign a winger also though 

It’s a risk if we bring him instead of alternatives and he doesn’t perform 

Think I’d rather have Chapman on a permanent than Clark Kent on loan if it’s an either or thing. Bristol fans seemed unsure about him.

When I say unsure if you search twitter they are pretty unanimous in their opinion if him - and it isn’t good.

Lets hope he’s improved!

edit - more worryingly it sounds like Bristol were fined by Liverpool for not playing him enough, a nice read about him here on a Bristol forum
