Why City haven't missed the boat on big money signings

My latest blog is now up on the Bristol Post website, the link is here: http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-CITY-BLOG-Robins-speculate-accumulate/story-27673657-detail/story.html In it I offer my views on the recent big money bids, and reflect upon many of the fans reactions to those huge offers and look at some of the reasons the bids were made when they were, and not earlier. Views, comments and shares as welcome as ever!

I broke my own rule of getting excited over a YouTube clip! It looks like the boy can get behind defences, but more importantly, finish.
