Imagine if we didnt get Walsh or James
		
		
	 
There were talks about Matty James to Bristol about a week ago. It was more idle speculation due to his contract status and previous relationship with Pearson.
Bristol City have a sugar daddy in Steve Lansdown. They've cleared out a load of players, have a new manager that they'll have to pander to and a frustrated fanbase. Think they'll try harder than most to get new players in.
Also worth considering that Bristol tried to keep Walsh but couldn't agree terms, although it may not have been a very hard effort. Walsh apparently thought he could get more money elsewhere. I appreciate it won't all be about money though. With Swansea known to be keen and others likely as well, we may simply be unable to offer the wages to the likes of James & Walsh - even though they're free (Walsh would be a nominal fee).
As you can see, when it comes to CCFC - I try to not let my hopes get too high. It's just easier that way!
