He was talking to a far bigger club than Bournemouth months ago! I suspect he’ll be gone in the summer. City will make money.Bobby will make money.Clap him when he comes back please he is a local lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's only paper talk saying Bournemouth's in for him, don't know why people are getting so worked up there's usually nothing in it. Someone will go in the summer but I reckon it's more likely to be Joe as we have a ready-made replacement in Kelly with Hörður as backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every other player on the planet they will go to the team that pays them the most! of course if we got promoted we could lose our best players, it wouldn't hurt so much if it was spurs or man city, but to be potentially losing one of our best players to a club like Bournemouth or a number of other clubs in the prem Watford Huddersfield to name two is annoying, because I think of us as a better club, though at the moment that is only potentially, that is what frustrates me the most I was only using Bournemouth as an example.

The only consolation is that if we went up, BS would slaver over newbies and price out long time fans and then have to grovel when we came back down as Tristram from Southville decided he wanted to follow Manchester City and Real Madrid instead. So you are saying that Derrick from Crews Hole would be more loyal then? How very dare you slate the fine people of Southville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I don't see what is different about this to any other season during my 50 years of watching City. The names of the clubs change but there have always been comparatively smaller teams that could use the draw of top flight football to get any of our players.

Admin phantom Posted March 22, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 He's had a deal on the table for a long time already, there is clearly a reason for why he is yet to sign it? Agent in his ear chirping about how he becomes even "more" sellable once he is in the final year of his contract - and the player really does then have the power to demand more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a bit of debate, maybe I didn't make my point very well, just find it frustrating that we might lose players to clubs that really we should not be due to the fact they are in the premiership. what I did not expect was to be called an ignoramus and then you're not very bright are you from one poster, hence my over the top response that was meant to be a joke.

Said to be very good young players, but even so they'll be hard pushed to make it at clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool with the plethora of multi million pound signings they can, and constantly do, make. If they don't make it there the chances must be very high that as City fans their choice for an alternative league career will see them return to AG as very well schooled and extremely accomplished players at our level.

You'd hope so. I read Gerrard's autobiography a few years ago and the two players he had special mention for were Trent Alexander-Arnold (now pushing for a first team place) and young Herbie. As JM and HK are both Bristolians it's not totally out of the realms of possibility that we will in fact see them back here. Seems to fit with the project. Probably end up on loan at Cheltenham anyway mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably end up on loan at Cheltenham anyway mind. Not only Bristolians but both genuine City fanatics as I understand it. Gerrard is probably a good judge and Kane (and Maddox at Chelsea) might be so outstanding they are the exceptions that force their way in. If they do, good for them, a fantastic achievement, but it will show exactly just how much we missed out on when they were tempted away - to do so they'd have to be 2 of the most exceptional youngsters ever to be associated with BCFC. Ashton Gate is where their hearts remain, I suspect, and no doubt City are monitoring their progress and would welcome them back into the fold should they falter and become available at any stage. It wouldn't surprise me to see one of them on loan here at some stage, in Kane's case perhaps depending on how Liverpool judge the benefits of the Kent loan.
