Robbored Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Lots of threads recently about signing an attacking midfielder who can spray the ball sround and score goals. Well........I was talking to a gashead mate of mine this morning and whose opinion I value reckoned that Bodin in about the best player they've got and is far too classy for League 1 and that'll only be a matter of time before he moves on........obviously that got me thinking... Now I don't much about Bodin other than his dad was a decent enough player but I wonder if LJ i has considered him? I can imagine the furore if City did sign him........................

pride of the west Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 No he's not the answer. Put any of our midfielders or wingers in league one and they will stand out like a sore thumb even more so than bodin does in a shite side. Would be funny if we got him in though.

Ska Junkie Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Wasn't their some sort of agreement between SL and the crap camel salesman that we won't sign each others players? Like they could afford one of ours?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Id absolutely love it if we signed him. Pure anger. Even if he's shite for us, it would be like MTx10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 How much is his release clause? He's worth £10 million you know. Wouldn't even make our bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard any mention of him being valued at £10m or so by the blue-few, so I’d assume we should be able to get him for under £250,000? My question would be, do we need a League One experienced midfielder to sit in our U23 squad? My answer would be “No”. For comical value, it would be worth SL spending his unspent old £1 coins on, for truly football reasons, we don’t need him & probably already have better out on loan at the moment or coming through our youth system.

Funny that because about 12 months ago, you probably had the same conversation with your sag mates about another gas player.......................only for them to then tell us he wasn't actually their best player, coincidently not long after we stole signed him The guy is 25 and been swashing around the lower leagues all his career..........I would like to think we are fishing in much better ponds to get a quality midfield playmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also worth considering that players often often don't reach their peak untill their late 20s.............maybe Bodin is worth a punt...

Put any of our midfielders or wingers in league one and they will stand out like a sore thumb even more so than bodin does in a shite side. Would be funny if we got him in though. Agree with this. No comparison between league 1 and championship football these days. Bodin's a decent footballer, but no better than we have already got. I think people shouldn't forget Pack and his ability. I know last time out he tried things and they didn't come off. But atleast he was trying different things. He came on and realised straight away that we weren't just going to walk through this Burton side. I think on another day, a couple of his delicate reverse balls could have come off. Technically he's a very good footballer in my opionion, he's the one in our current squad that probably see's things that others don't. Start of the season when he was starting every game, and Brownhill was on the right, Pack was brilliant. He got quite harshly reviewed by some of our fans after the Burton gone in my opinion.

BCFC_Dan Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 When did we last have a central midfielder who was a significant goal threat? I've been watching City for over 20 years and I struggle to think of one. David Noble was the best I could come up with and his best scoring season for City saw him net 4 goals. Bobby Reid might qualify but his goals this season have been scored playing as a striker. I don't know if they're especially rare, or if City has some particular blind spot in that position, but it seems odd that in 20 years there hasn't been a single one. Or, more likely, there are some obvious ones that I've forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 If he weren't at Rovers he'd be an interesting potential signing so I don't see why anything changes just because of the club he's currently at.
