    A bit unfair on McDonald as illness kept him out. I'm hoping he's one of those who's a better champ player than league 1.
    Add Price Jones Vassell to that list. Wood another, not sure on Thompson. Lamy only one out of them got a chance of making it in the championship but he needs a Manager whose got vision not just playing happy families!

    OK but I really meant since Scott has had an influence.
    So of that list:
    Lamy was always a work in progress and as we've gone up a level it's a no
    Clarke - not worked so far
    Koroma - I've already agreed it's a no
    Adelukan - rumours are they want him back. I'd have him back as he started really well but went off the boil. Worth another try.
    Morris was with us before so maybe PW made that decision in isolation
    Yes I agree it's harsh on MacDonald and I think he might do well for us this season

    Scott joined in April so I guess he had his say in most of last year's signings.
    Btw not knocking Scott/warne. They have signed far more better players than players that didn't work. They are looking a replacing 6-8 this season. We only need 3or4 to be good uns and we should do ok next season

    Adelakun if he was championship player he wouldn't have gone out on loan to us. He couldn't get near Bristol city's 1st team 18. When you are signing players for the championship that's you've got to take into account apart from the fact he wasn't a winger. He was all right foot playing wide left, no threat at all.

    Smith couldn't get in the bury side who were bottom of the league.

    We meaning fans hadn't seen Smudger. We've seen Adelakun, majority on here incl' me think he's not got it also he's had a potentially career ending injury.

    You’ve not seen tilt really ether but you’ve already condemned him.

    It’s ok playing virtual football manager in your head mate, but you need to take into account our transfer budget Which for us may be 1.5 - 2 million (if we sell Yates) wages and potential returns

    Know we have a budget to work to but you don't chuck money away giving contracts to the likes of Jones, bringing players in like Adelukun who didn't bring anything to the side in league 1. He's not going to do in the championship either else he's be playing there for Bristol city.

    Just because Bristol don't put him in their first team doesn't mean he isn't cship standard though.
    They have different aspirations to us and will be picking a better standard of cship player that can get them into the playoffs. Those types of players will cost a lot more than Adelukun .

    I completely agree mate but you can’t get rid of half your squad and expect to replace them with quality players with only 2 million, sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and try and get that last bit of mileage out of the player before chucking it to the scrap man.

    Unless we buy Adelakun I wouldn’t to much risk with little reward, let’s say it takes him 6 games to get good city could just pull him back in January 👎
