BobBobSuperBob Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Said last week we should have been in for Douglas , and targetting a lb as a priority IMHO Was clear Bryan was never signing a new contract Would have got a decent left back in , and taken a bid when it was acceptable to us , in the meantime tell JB , best fight for a place left midfield if you want to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Id be happy to let Joe go, but only if we are looking at bringing in a PROPER LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they’ll have thought about it but we’d better have the ducks in a row before JB is allowed to leave. I'm sure it's in hand my friend . I'm not sure that a duck would be an adequate replacement for Joe Bryan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Happy with this to be honest. He has been poor all year at LB. Wish him all the best though however as in general he has been excellent for the club especially at LM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is piss poor from the player. However, the consequence of our pathetic recruitment in January and drop-off in form is that our three best players Reid, Bryan and Flint have gone to Championship rivals and ******* Cardiff who were behind us in the league at the end of December. Pretty disappointing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that say more about us as a club that players no longer see us as a viable promotion bet or is it simply avout the money? Very very disapointed. Villa and Boro are far bigger clubs than us as are a number of teams in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably you also think that every footballer ever in the history of football (except maybe Ronaldo and Messi) is unprofessional then? You were the one praising his professionalism Not impressed with Flint or Reid’s departures either but there was a noticeable difference in their attitude on the pitch post January and that of JBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, as they've got two new wealthy joint owners, so the last 2 seasons have been erased from their memory banks and don't count anyway when you are a "big" club. Everything in the financial garden is rosy and they can return again to being the big spending club that can buy their way back to the prem - which is, of course, where they belong. Well that's the summary of the Villa forum thread about their financial "situation". I must confess that I don't think there are too many chartered accountants posting on their forum, so their understanding of ffp might be taken from "FFP for Du Brummies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan & Reid's loyalty to the club that brought them through the ranks is 0 pretty much. That's modern football sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying all summer he has faith in him to replace JB... let's find out if he really does! Yep it's a good point. Although he didn't seem quite so confident on that panel show for RB last week saying that he still had a lot of work to do. Maybe all the hyping him up over the summer was a bit of bluff. No doubt he rates him very highly though and reiterated he could play for England eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Can't say i'm surprised, don't really care either. Was obvious he wanted out for months. Scored some great goals for us - Rovers, Swindon, United - thanks for those. Hope we've got a replacement ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I reckon Bryan will be in a Villa shirt by the end of the day, or not tomorrow. £6m is a very good fee for a player with a year left, but I can't help but feel a bit cheated that we're selling another key player to a competitor in this division. Could we not have convinced Bryan to sign a year extension last year and try to push him towards signing for a team in the Premier League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that's the case I'll take it back and agree with yourself and @BobBobSuperBob. But given that it's purely conjecture at this point for the average fan (though others undoubtedly know more) I don't think my comments are untrue unless what you've said turns out to be the case.

Been saying all summer he has faith in him to replace JB... let's find out if he really does! Really hope you're right on this one of course, but even if Kelly is the next big thing and a top left back, surely we still need another signing as backup? Do we have anyone else really competent at left back if something went wrong (performances or injuries) with Kelly? It would be a case of shoehorning someone in surely.

Only 3 days of the window left so can only assume news will break of Bryan's replacement pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
