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

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.
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.

A la Dale Jasper too! [emoji1] I'll get my coat then...I wonder whether his excellent season and a half with us will prove to be a highlight in an otherwise mediocre career. A la Steve Penney
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.

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...Not sure Dale had a good season and a half - maybe a good half a game once, somewhere, ages ago
