We're going in the right direction on the pitch let's just hope that Bristol city council sees sense and allow the application so we can build a premier and world-class stadium!

I'm not surprised at all but even more content with this deal when I read comments from West Ham, Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal fans alike all saying that they should have been offering a contract or the 2 year deal to get him and how many have commented on him getting better with age. Glorious day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdgifford64 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Fantastic signing, yet again fantastic work from all down the gate behind the scenes getting this done.

Guest surreyred Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Mr James must be costing us a pretty penny, but with increased tickets sales, increased sales in the club shop and if he is prepared to speak up for the club in respect of the stadium and the world cup bid, particulary that he comes across as pretty inteligent, he may prove to be one of the best investments the club has ever made, even wothout kicking a ball. Also given the medias obsession with celebrity that stupid Leauge programme on the BBC might acknowledge our existence with him and SC here.

samo Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Clearly another big factor that must have played its part today in Mr. James' decision to sign on with City has gone totally without mention; European football With two games away in Wales to look forward to this season that's one more than Celtic have left, with them first getting booted out of Champions League qualifying by Braga, then more than likely getting dumped out all together in the Europa League qualifying. I mean James has an England place to think of, he needs to be plying his trade at a high level! Apologies for the outburst (especially in my first post back for quite sometime) but having had a quick peek at the Celtic forums and hearing the talk up here (Glasgow) about this move ("Bristol City FFS; James must be going senile...", "He could have ended his career on a high, instead he chose semi-retirement..." some choice ones for you there...) you'd think James had 'done a Trundle' and moved to a non-league side! SPL teams really need to get some perspective; that league is garbage Delighted with James, and the other two boys who looked like just what we needed too. Defence looks a lot more like what we require for the rigours of the Championship season now. Once Hayes, Maynard and one or two of the defenders (Wilson, Carey, Ribs) are back fit I think we will certainly have a more balanced and deeper squad than this time last year. Bring on the (Mill)Wall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ashtonphil Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Going to say something a little abstract but to me shows the depth and character of David James. If you watch the player interview, Adam Baker welcomes him the Bristol City and then asks the question Why? His first words are, "Thank you." This is the first time I've ever heard that in an interview and then answers the question posed. Think you have got a great player and a great ambassador not just for Bristol City but for football in general. Welcome to Bristol City.

A Horse With No Name Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Terrific amazing signing obviously. Saw him home & away v Pompey in the cup and his command of the area was awesome. Agreed. Was an awesome keeper in the Premier League and for England, but just remember this. He is now in the Championship , playing against Championship strikers, so it stands to reason that he will look even more impressive. Hopefully,he has another 3 or 4 good years at this level so it will be a longer term deal than the contract shows.` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tins Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Even for just one second IF we had any chance of signing him the his wage demands would be too much. He is on at least £40,000 a week isnt he? And im sure he is getting offered the same as that elsewhere. Raoul is also without a club. Why do people post this crap?! David James will not be signing for us, of that you can be 100% sure. Another attention seeker I am afraid. I just do not understand some people, especially those who should know better. BCAGFC There is no way we will sign David James. Seriously do people actually think this is championship manager???? No chance, its supposed to be between Celtic and Sunderland. He would not struggle to find a Prem club. apparently if we dont get James we are going after Buffon... Yeah I have. I'm sure James has too, so he'll be looking for the biigest salary he can find now he's coming to the end of his career. Are you telling me you honestly believe David James is a realistic target, or that he'd consider coming here? Don't get me wrong I think he's one of the most honurable players around these days and a genuinely nice chap, but get real ffs. A few of my favourites there!
