Yes, missed the best part of two seasons I believe.Quote:

Yes, I think he is - I'd say left back/wing back is a low priority position for us if Collins comes back anything like the player he was looking like before his injury. I'd prefer to try and rely on Bagan signing a new contract with O'Dowda there as well to help out.Quote:

It's not a proper transfer window unless we sign someone from Bristol City!Quote:

(He looks set to be replaced by Joe Bryan at Ashton Gate.)
Do you think he was much missed by Bristol? Three goals, three assists in 39 appearances, hardly pulled up any trees.Quote:

2019/20 - 1 goal
2020/21 - 1 goal
2021/22 - 1 goal
2022/23 - 3 goals
A player with his natural ability should do better, but he's inconsistent and a bit fragile.
O’Dowda felt like one of those players that started fairly well and got worse throughout the season. Wintle was another. Philogene was the opposite. Ojo was shit from beginning to end.
Pretty accurate summary :hehe:Quote:

We supposedly tried to sign him on loan at the last minute in the January window!

I'd hope that was a case of needs must and we won't be back in for him again. Although this is Cardiff City...Quote:

All hail the Transfer Committee! Getting those League One signings in, nice and early.
we can't pay a fee for anyone, if we manage to get someone like that in we will be doing pretty well IMO.Quote:

Here's the latest of those "all championship free agents available" articles. A few well known names on there. https://www.birminghamworld.uk/sport...t-brom-4157256
Of little interest until we appoint a managerQuote:

Not sure why we're looking at right back when we have the forever reliable Vontae Daley-Campbell.
Not that Tan would get his wallet out but I wonder if a loan with a future agreed mandatory fee would get around the embargo.Quote:
