Loan trio will not be retained

Last updated : 05 July 2002 By Rob Stanway
All three played a huge part in our promotion, all three from premiership sides, all three WILL NOT be kept on by Steve Cotterill for this Season.

Arnar Gunnlaugson has been on loan at Stoke City twice now, brought in under Gudjon Thordarson fired in 'that' corner kick which was flicked on by Chris Iwelumo and allowed space for Deon Burton to slam in goal number one at The Millenium Stadium.

Deon Burton - Slammed in that vital goal at The Millenium Stadium

Ian Brightwell - covered the Right Back position when there was nobody else to fill it. Did a tremendous job.

It will be sad to see these three go, particuarly as we all think they could do the business in Division One (Disagree? Tell us on the Message Boards)

At the end of the day - Cotterill knows best and we look forward to this coming season which hopefully will prove one of our best in years.
