' The free agents at Aston Villa, Cardiff City and the rest of the Championship '


Bristol Live

Saturday 18th May 2019


Summer brings hope and expectation for so many clubs as a time to sweep out the old and usher in the new and although the Championship is not quite finished, in terms of the play-offs, preparating is under way for next term.

Lee Johnson has promised and "bold" and brave summer for Bristol City in the transfer market and although the concept of big money, showcase arrivals guarantees excitement, the Robins have often shown themselves to be astute operators in recruitment.

The free agent market may not seem as glamorous but there are bargains to be had and signing players who will improve your team without having to pay a transfer fee represents sound business sense.

Here is the complete list of all Championship teams, to include those promoted from the division and from League One and those relegated out of the league while also featuring Cardiff, Fulham and Huddersfield, who have players either already released or with their status uncertain ahead of June 30.

I would take Marshall back if we lose Etheridge

Much rather Adam Davies if Barnsley are really letting him go

Why don't we juts sign Craig Conway, Craig Noone( We need more wingers!), Craig Bryson (we need more Craigs). Tom Adeyemi, James Collins, Fraizer Campbell, David Marshall.


Two midfielders, goalkeeper to replace Etheridge, spare centre back, striker. All for nothing!

And they all know thee place (maybe not Adeyemi though?).


Sorted.

( I am not seroius by the way).

And Jamie Ward and Wayne Routledge for cover on the wings?

Didn’t ask for everyone to be knobs Marshall is a proven top shot stopper who could do the same job he did before he left

That ship has sailed.

He will never be as good as he was an nowhere near what some people thought he was

Vela from Bolton.
Hutton from Villa.
Powell from Wigan.

Cheers.

Agree. Perhaps Jedinak and Whealan could still do a job ? Although I haven’t watched much championship football this season so they could be done by now
