By now you’ve probably realised there are an awful lot of moving parts to Bristol City’s summer transfer window. Unlike 2021, where Nigel Pearson simply released 10 players, re-signed two and brought four new faces in, this period has a seemingly endless number of permutations as to how it’ll play out.
Can City keep hold of Alex Scott and Antoine Semenyo? Can they afford to sell one if it permits strengthening elsewhere, and how much is that process tied to a high-profile departure in the first place? Would a fee for Han-Noah Massengo on an expiring contract constitute such a significant exit? What if Lloyd Kelly, Adam Webster or Josh Brownhill are sold elsewhere earning resale revenue? What if Timm Klose and/or Robbie Cundy don’t renew their contracts? Is there scope for selling Dan Bentley and/or Tomas Kalas as they enter the final years of their agreements? Is that even feasible, given desires to move other players out and the impact that then has on squad numbers? We can keep going, but this paragraph is becoming unmanageable and hopefully you get the picture.
