93 day loan, so could be playing against us, later this month.

Good for him, and I hope he does well.
I'm also glad that it might quosh Bennett to Brighton rumours. For three months at least.

I like Elliott Bennett very much indeed, but I wish him an absolute stinker at the Amex later this month.
Though it's only a loan, he's the first decent player to actually take the plunge and sign for City. They've had an absolutely dismal transfer window this season.

I typed that before I spotted that they'd signed Simon Cox on loan too. They should slowly improve with those signings, though their defence is still going to struggle, I think.
Unrelated: they just loaned El Abd out to Swindon until January.

Yes, they're building up nicely to start their winning run at The Amex in the near future!
Shame things haven't gone so well for AEA since he left us.

Should do. Although having KLL, Murphy, March, Elvis and Rosenior all fighting for 2 wing positions should've been enough to do that!

Only just seen that as away on holiday very disapointed him and Cox could make it difficult for us.

Good luck to him (except against us, obviously) but there is no way he would have got in front of Kaz, Murphy, Rosenior and the newly re-vitalised Solly

Bristol City have signed Simon Cox and Elliot Bennett and loaned El-Abd to Swindon. It almost makes me wish I hadn't burnt a certain bridge so I can laugh about pretty much all of that. Simon Cox is a quality striker, I'm disappointed we didn't get him in - he'd be scoring the goals that Baldock isn't and his work rate is on a par at worst. Elliott Bennett is a much better player than LuaLua ever will be, and better than March is right now so I'm disappointed we wouldn't get him back in but Rosenior's form is the reason why not and that's fair enough by me.

Somebody talking sense that is not permitted. Both would have been good loan signings to complement what we already have.
Not sure Dale had a good season and a half - maybe a good half a game once, somewhere, ages ago

I enjoyed the period when he was playing because you genuinely felt most clubs had a fair chance of promotion, and Premiership money did not come into it. Also felt closer to the club, and you could see players arriving/leaving the ground at lunchtime. Ah well...
But yes, DJ did not set the world alight!
