    Now we've released the deadwood let's get this superstar back to add some end product on the wing.

    Adam Hammill's best days at Championship level are behind him. We all recognise that. You're not dramatically pulling the wool from our collective eyes.
    So why make a deliberately ridiculous and provocative statement like that?
    Simply saying you'd like to see Kent come back would have sufficed.
    Unless you have some deep rooted need to get attention.

    End product?

    That's the one think Ryan Kent lacked.

    Kent has been shocking for Bristol City since January. He has zero end product and a tendancy, which he seems incapable of losing, of running up blind alleys and taking on one too many. He is not developing at all and will be plying his trade in the lower leagues somewhere pretty soon.

    Really ? Ask Leeds fans what they think . Loved Ryan Kent when he was here , frustrating at times as most young wingers are but defiantly a game changer . UTR

    But that was one game. Over the course of the season he often did the hard work, but then insisted on beating his man for a third or forth time instead of getting a cross in. Admittedly he was good in the last 10 games or so, but lacking an end product in the first 35.

    He improved no end and with good coaching ( here’s hoping) he’s only going to get better . In a few years he’ll be a regular premier league player .

    He could very well be, and certainly improved as the season went on. He didn't have the most successful spell at Bristol but I think it's time for him now to look at securing a permanent move away. I think he'll end up at a lower Championship team. Maybe one of the promoted clubs. After his performance for us against them, I wouldn't back against him rocking up at Wigan.

    I thought he got worse and worse the lo her he was at Barnsley. When he first joined he was a young kid without fear rattling the post from 25 yards out. By Christmas he wouldn't shoot, would tout a challenge in and was just a passenger who played purely because we had to pay if he didn't.

    I think he began to trust his ability a bit more by the end. He scored a few in the last couple of months and was generally more involved with the goals we scored.

    That's how I saw it anyway. If you'd have asked me in January, should we sign Ryan Kent, I'd have said no, but I ended the season thinking he'd be worth brining back.

    The op says about end product with Kent but when yiadom left said he had been *****. Let' put it into perspective Andy yiadom has more assists from right back this season (and he was injured at the start) than ryan Kent has in one season and half with both us and Bristol. That's what makes me think it's a wind up.

    A lot on here pointed to kents lack of goals and assists last year as a marker of how poor he was yet this year wet their pants over Hammill who failed to score in a league game. Kents overall play is for superior too, direct fast paced attacking rather than the 'watch me do a step over rather than keep the attack moving' we've seen this year. The biggest thing too is the way he picks the ball up in our own half and pushes the team 60/70 yards up the pitch beating 3 or 4 men, we have no one capable of doing that.

    Most goalscoring opportunities created by a Barnsley player this season. Adam hammill

    Ryan Kent doesn't beat anyone because as soon as anyone goes near him he bottles it. He, like hundreds of other footballers is fine while ever the opposition stands aside but he's got no heart for an actual battle.

    Frightens me how blinkered some are. Point blank refusing to read certain things because it doesn't suit their agenda for example.

    Not quite sure how Ryan Kent doesn't beat anyone because he's scared. I remember him leaving two Wednesday players on their arse when they were right on top of him. I'm actually trying to remember the last time I saw Adam Hammill beat a man, thinking circa 2011
