Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Piemonte on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 15:25:18 Rumour has it in the WDP, Brissol Evening Post and OTIB that City will today announce the signing of Michael Bridges.
I'm all for it personally, I think hes a crippled waste of money and space whos close to completing his descent though the leagues. He was once a very good player, but now? Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Kinky Tom on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 15:28:41 Very similar to Stewart really, so can't see it improving them too much, regardless of his fitness/brittleness.
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 15:30:45 I agree, I hope it is Bridges. He's only scored once in the last 4 years I believe. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: He's also one of the most injured players ever only averaging about 15 games a season but he'll still be on high wages.
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 15:41:26 I'd still say he's worth a gamble, but he's not going to have much of a pre-season signing at this point - he's missed out on all the hard fitness work.
If we'd signed him I'd be happy, however I'm much happier with Cureton and Thorpe. Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Spud on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 15:45:49 It doesnt matter who City sign cos they've still got Tinnio in charge!. :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 18:03:54 If you could get someone like Bridges on a month by month , then it'd be worth doing, but I can't think of too many who've been been out for so long who've achieved anything if given a long contract.
As BWB says 1 goal in 4 seasons, is not exactly form. Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Johno on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 18:26:55 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bristol_city/4701373.stm
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, 20:45:39 I hope he doesn't sing. Even if he is incredibly injury prone there is always the risk that he will play against us and score some goals.

I hope he doesn't sing too, going by past footballers attempts - Hoddle & Waddle, Liverpool, England etc. Title: Bridges to city??

I'd be more than happy to see Bridges against us, he turned out for Leeds in the 2-2 draw at Elland Road.....Paul Robinson equalled his goals tally for the last 4 seasons. Title: Bridges to city??

Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Thursday, July 21, 2005, 00:28:34 It seems not only has he managed one goal in the last four seasons but also didn't score the year before meaning it's actually one goal in five seasons and he went four seasons without scoring at all! Hard to believe but seems to be true. An impressive feat.
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Kinky Tom on Thursday, July 21, 2005, 08:55:46 Matt Hoolett has a better record - I'm shaking in my boots. :D
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: reeves4england on Thursday, July 21, 2005, 09:06:49 Don't mock the Hewlett! Remember his screamer against Notts County?!
Premiership player in my opinion! (Hewlett that is) Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Batch on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 17:20:58 Bridges has now gone to the mighty Carlisle on loan. Probably looking for a better class of football.
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Northern Red on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 17:22:33 Excellent - the in-laws will be happy - funny when they realise they've hired a pudding :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: lebowski on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 19:34:13 i must say that i really thought bridges and stewart would fire city to promotion.
can't say i'm upset to be wrong though. Title: Bridges to city?? Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 20:22:30 Quote from: "Batch" Bridges has now gone to the mighty Carlisle on loan.
