No quick-fix for Robins problems
Bristol City, 16:12, January 5, 2010 ,
Bristol City chairman Steve Lansdown says he will only invest in players in January who will stay at Ashton Gate for years to come.
Robins manager Gary Johnson has made it clear that he feels his squad need some investment during the transfer window, especially on the left side of midfield.
Lansdown helped to fund a number of new signings in the summer and while he hasn't ruled out doing the same again he has specified that anyone who joins City on a permanent basis must be considered a long-term investment.
"I think you have to look at the squad we've built up over the years. I think we have a squad which has value and anyone we bring in has to be part of a long-term strategy. don't like the January transfer window because too many short-term decisions are made," said Lansdown.
"We can use the loan system if we need to and we'll have a look to see what is available. But I don't want to bring anybody into this football club for a couple of minutes."
