Bit harsh on Ralls and Adams.

I do wonder about the possibility of dressing room cliques developing, but I suppose that was more likely last season with so many newcomers. That apart, this looks like a good signing. He was a regular member of a title winning squad in Turkey, has won a decent number of caps for his country and I thought he looked good in his video :hehe:
I just don't see the club giving Wintle a new three year contract and the manager saying what he did about him and then relegate him to the reserves. I think he will play more often than not with Ramsey and Siopis. Alot of what Wintle does during a game goes unnoticed by many, as he is not a flash player but gets about the pitch, gets tackles and blocks in defensively and is very often involved in our goals and good moves.
I remember him coming on late on against Wales at the Euros and bullying our defenders. Very much summed up the day.
He's had a decent career to be fair to him, some league titles, almost 50 caps in a good Danish side, goals in Serie A and Ligue 1. Certainly done better than a lot of the crap we've signed over the years
For about a decade Joe Ralls has been an integral part of a squad constantly challenging for promotion to the Premier League, as well as playing in that supposed top league.
Joe Ralls never shirks from a challenge, never hides when he is having a bad game, always gives 100% commitment into every game and is certainly missed if he is out injured for a period of time.
I just don’t get these constant snide comments regarding Joe Ralls.
Some Turk on Facebook says he can’t pass.
My remarks in my previous reply were regarding Joe Ralls, and people demeaning his contribution and not our regression in recent seasons.
The club has been getting progressively worse since our last relegation from the Premier League… can that be due to Joe Ralls?
My tuppence, for what its worth… is once we were in the market to buy the “best players that Bristol City have”, it was downhill from there. Bristol City had regular mid-table Championship finishes, therefore we were recruiting worse players than we previously had.
