That being the case, would it be a goer to play Vassell in the middle? He looked quite potent yesterday, capable of very fast bursts, and many have said that they think he'd be better used down the centre. We have other options too for the central position - Howard, Schlupp and Kermogant - which gives a variety of styles which can be deployed depending on the circumstances/opposition.

I doubt it, we know that Sven is actively looking for a striker and will more than likely get one in.

Kent "I doubt it, we know that Sven is actively looking for a striker and will more than likely get one in."

But if he doesn't get one who he can throw straight in next Saturday, then he has to come up with some formation from within the current squad. My question really is - does anyone think Vassell could be prolific enough if played down the middle. Is he worth a try?

I would sooner play Dyer than Vassell,Vassell to me looks all at sea in that right position....but if i was to play him anywhere, it would be as our striker , though i just don't think Sven will play him there.

We desperately need another winger, if were contemplating playing Vassell through the middle

As it looks like 4-3-3 is going to be the formation of choice, I'm really quite suprised we havent brought in a winger. Yes technically Nugent is a winger and was great for PNE in that position, but I really think in contrast with with the midfield right wing is an area of weakness. Maybe sven is happy with Vassell/Dyer being the 2 fighting it out for that position.

Personally I would like to see 4-4-2 especially with the quality we now have in midfield. Fernandes/Abe holding the midfield with danns and wellens/johnson and king playing behind the 2 strikers.

That isn't 4-4-2, it's 4-2-2-2 which is ridiculous.

Nicky Maynard will sign a new 3 year deal with Bristol City F.C BY Friday 5th of August 2011 and will be anounced on the official bcfc website on Sat 6th of August 2011 for 25k a week and a clause in the contract of personal terms stating that should a prem come in with a bid regardless of the 20% sell on clause to his previous club Crewe Alexandra then if he wants to leave for that prem club he will be aloud to do so. Nicky personaly said that one of the main reasons for staying in Bristol is that his partner Tee is expecting there first child & it wouldn't be fare to move anywhere at present plus his dream & focus is purely getting into the prem. Everton & Liverpool managers are both keeping a close eye on Maynard from now until the Han transfer opens to see if Maynard picks up any injurys on his knee & see how well he does for Bristol City before they will put any bids in. Thats the latest news on Nicky Maynard & from the horses mouth so to speak...Good luck to both our clubs for the coming season...

Well thats worded in a way that suggests that, any bid from a prem club, regardless of the amount, will be accepted, if Maynard wants to go, which surely can`t be right.

Surely there has to be a minimum sell on price, in which case, it would be interesting to know what that price is, because from Maynard and his agents point of view, they will be in a much better bargaining position for a better personal deal, if he runs his contract out, and goes on a free.

Certainly, if they have a 3 or 4 million sell to prem club clause inserted into the contract, i think he may well have a long wait for his prem move.

From our point of view, it looks like we may have moved on now anyway, (at last!).

I have no idea whetheror not what bcfc insider says is true but I do think it's a shame that so many on here have taken this personally. Bcfc want to keep hold of their best player, not rip you lot off.

We do need to strengthen our defence but we don't need to sell NM to do so.

Hopefully this will get resolved this week and we can all move on.

Johnson is a great signing btw...

Maybe, but all 3 of Vassell, Nugent and Gallagher have played central or wide in the past. I'm sure they will be playing together at times during the season, regardless of whether we sign another attacker or two. I'm sure it's worth a try swapping them around a bit. This might be very effective if done during a match if an opposition defender thinks he has one of them sussed, and is then suddenly up against a different player.

How'd you work that one out? Its the 2nd most popular 4-4-2 formation played...

That's 4-4-2 diamond which we couldn't play with the players you mentioned.

I'm pretty sure we could... fernandes/Abe are DM, Wellens/danns/johnson are central midfield players and king can play as the central/offensive midfielder.

To keep it slightly on topic was a 4th bid ever made for Maynard?

Posted

Probably bollocks. Would make my week if true. Exactly who we need and hopefully rules out some of the other names being mentioned.

Posted

hopefully true,, just wondering would it say on the OS if the cov away seats where all sold out?

Don't worry pal I am sure there will be tickets left for you tommorow.
