So we know your thoughts. We’ve had these conversations. Why make constant sniping remarks that dig at Walters and the recruiting team? It’s tiresome and pointless. I have an old friend who is involved in a professional capacity with the Club on a consultancy basis and he's met with JW a number of times and has been massively impressed with what he's had to say and how he's said it. I think we're lucky to have such a capable person at the helm, especially one who has such a bond with the Club. It can only be to our advantage. I’ll judge him on his success both on/off the pitch, certainly doing his role no harm at all especially as he put £500 behind the bar last night for Stoke fans to sup up.

No that is wrong. I never want my club to fail. I've had enough of watching failure. Your comments up till now suggest you’d be delighted to see Walters, Darnborough etc fail so you’re proved right. That’s the way it seems to me anyway. that’s because you can’t stand others having a different opinion than your sycophant thinking that the club can’t do no wrong

And is excellent front of house. I suppose it will be a year at least before we can really tell how good he is but I’m quietly optimistic.

You need to read my posts more carefully. If you’re going to stalk me then at least do it properly.

As someone who commits a whole load of family time and a financial fortune following this club home and away, purchasing merchandise etc not to mention the mental torture I put my family through each season, please explain why I'd want any single entity of our club, from the youth team right through to the first team - encapsulating every department from medical, sport science to recruitment - to ultimately fail? It defies all logic. Even if I did, what would I get out of it? A pathetic little 'look at me I'm right' kick on the faceless internet before the slow realisation of yet another depressing summer break came over us, or worse a relegation to a league I never want to see us in again in my lifetime? Now if you want a conversation on my thoughts on whether I think Jon Walters is the right man for The Technical Director position, the ultimate reasons why I think he was brought in and retained in that position and whether I think he's made the right choice to replace Dublin with Darnbrough then I'm very open and ready to have that conversation, be it publicly on here or via DM. Back to the Armstrong to Bristol City thread... So this time last year you didn't want Bae who was announced as a development squad player initially? We were told he would spend at least the first six months acclimatising and learning the language with the u21s

I’m quite relieved in a way, not many strikers become prolific later on with his stats. He might cause chaos and open it up to others but does that fit with the sort of team we are building which seems quite technical.
We’ll never know know but if he scores a plenty for BC I’ll happily put my hand up I was wrong.

Look at Szmodics record before last season, look at Morris and Adebayo at Luton, look at Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy etc. Then the likes of Grant Holt, Rickie Lambert etc. Strikers tend to not become prolific until mid 20s onwards. Look at the ages and previous records of Stein, Sheron and Thorne the 3 best goalscorers for Stoke in my lifetime.

What about Ric! Haha

Andreas Weimann is a good example example of a one-hit wonder. I’m sure that there are plenty of weighs to weight probabilities for future scoring success. I personally would have taken a chance on this lad. He looks to have the physical attributes needed to cause a problem.

In the meantime, I reckon he’d cause a hell of a lot of problems for defenders. Little can surely be more tiring than fighting against a battering ram for 90 mins.

Highlights from a voice message sent to me by my QPR pal in response:
He's a huge sack of meat that we throw on to menace the opposition. He's deluded in thinking he's better than he is.

Anyway I think we need someone for the now don’t we? I think we don’t have the money or time to go for a might be good in the future, it is more about the now. By the way it’s just an opinion and not written in tablets of stone, I’m not saying I’m right, like everyone on this board it’s just speculation and I may well be wrong as I have said in my original post.
