Tetteys Jig

We were never going to… running a club at this level with an average championship wage bill costs £25m (see what Bristol city’s owner puts in each year) let alone the players we have left on premier big bucks. Until the likes of Hanley are off the books this is how we have to operate. We can then work on putting together a promotion winning side on a championship budget as we have done plenty of times before. The groundwork will be currently being laid to downgrade from Sargent should promotion not happen and his £20m+ move would fund us another year at this level just treading water

Sargent deal colllapsed because Matetas move to Monaco collapsed meaning we backed off Renier and Stansfield. Gordon the random winger. Onel and Fassnacht kept for depth.

My new favourite match day moan is gonna be calling for Billy G when We are inevitably outrun in the middle of the park

Why is Kamara so desperate to leave? Just really odd as all the stars align for him to take Rowes spot in the league above.

Makes him sound like Paolo frigging Maldini! Why’s he joining us bums to sit in our youth side?

I wonder what he’s got for his tea tonight

Quagliarella still knocking about?

He’s right, Onels off to Sheff UTD season long loan, Sargent off to Palace for £20m+ 20% sell on, Kamara is off to Hull for £3m and £2m promotion clause + 25% sell on, Hills on loan to Wycombe, Aboh off to Harrogate on loan, Gibbs off to MK Dons loan, Fassnacht off to Basel £1.5m, Welch off to Barrow on loan, Mair off to Falkirk on loan, Warner off to Wrexham on loan. Incoming is Renier loan with a £10m promotion obligation, Slimane loan with a £4m option a random winger on loan (the Brighton lad or Rabbi maybe or whatever crops up from the agents touting their lads out), Stansfield loan with an £8m promotion obligation. Busy, busy…

Seems moving to Sheff Utd was a bit of a strange move for him in the first place given they were in the prem scrapping for your lives? Seems like a jump too far at 22 years old coming from a smallish league. sort of like when Billy Gilmour joined us despite having barely any experience at a decent level. Any insight into why they bought him?

At this level Gibson is a solid player and ended last season fairly well really after some tough personal life things with his baby. The main problem was he was on £40k a week and probably not prepared to take a large enough cut and we had our eyes on a younger model given we are lumbered with Hanley and Duffy for another year anyway. I would imagine he has been offered a chance to play week in, week out and once it was clear he was being phased out here, took a bit of a cut to go there. This slimane deal doesn’t sound the most convincing but we need height and numbers in the middle and he’s still young and presumably coachable and cheap so I’ll take it. I have pretty low expectations of immediate promotion or anything like that this season anyway.

Can we please never see George Long in goal for Norwich again? Give a youth lad a run in the FA Cup 3rd round defeat to Stevenage in Jan. Long is a waste of a wage, especially when we have so many promising youth keepers

Sargent would go if we got £25m+ surely. We could probably kiss goodbye to any promotion hopes this season though. Similar to Farke, I think the JHT project is at least a 3 season rebuild anyway so we would probably then have the money for 4 or 5 punts until one of them came off.

Reniers mum just followed Norwich on Insta

Pretty underwhelming but he must have something about him to get caps for Turkey already

Roko Simic please to replace Idah. Forson can put in a good word. Hes a good age (20), similar profile to sargent, contract expires next summer, we have already done business with his club recently, he can fill in on the wing as cover, what’s not to like?
