Bristol City’s fascinating summer transfer window including West Ham and Man Utd raids - according to Football Manager
It’s set to be a busy summer at Ashton Gate, according to Football Manager.
Bristol City’s Championship exploits haven’t quite hit the heights that they might have hoped this season.
Spending most of the season at the wrong end of the table, the Robins now sit 16 points clear of the drop zone, and are likely to see their campaign fizzle out into mid-table obscurity.
But how will Nigel Pearson look to continue his rebuild over the coming months?
We took to Football Manager 2022 to find out.
The popular video game franchise is renowned for its meticulous detail and authentic approach to the world of, well, football management, and we thought we’d take a look into the future by fast forwarding to the end of the summer 2022 transfer window.
After a savvy summer of spending, it’s all change at Ashton Gate, and we’ve rounded up every deal that the game predicts City will make below...
1. Jacob Murphy - Loan
Out of favour at newly-moneyed Newcastle United, the winger arrives at Ashton Gate on loan to become City’s first summer signing.
2. Crysencio Summerville - Loan
Another top flight winger on a temporary deal, the promising Dutchman joins from Leeds United.
3. Jack Stevens - £350,000
The promising 24-year-old stopper arrives for a bargain fee from League One outfit Oxford United.
4. John Ruddy - £71,000
Another new goalkeeper, but this time, a veteran who joins from Wolves to provide cover and experience between the sticks.
