Don't think he was awful second half, especially when you think we were overrun in many games, plus he had Pato in front not helping out well enough. But he certainly was not the same player in our bad run. I always thought he would have been most dangerous left of a midfeld 3. Imagine how many goals he would get in that role. I think we did, when we won the double, culminating in that fantastic strike against Swindon that raised the roof. What a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can/are paying him what he wants where else could he go where he is hero-worshipped like he is here? I don`t think he ever really wanted to leave last summer either.

Cardiff will try but not meet our valuation. Flint and Pack will stay. Bids will be made but not up to our valuations. Bob is the one I'm most unsure and worried about. 1 year left and his stock has gone through the roof recently. Only way I can see him staying is if we offer him mega bucks now £25k a week has been freed up thanks to O'Neil going. We still need to pay those wages to a new signing, a leader. One that’s available for selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, but that’s very different from “anything City related” as per the OP. Certainly agree it looks a bit less City-orientated than it did though.

Agard Days Night Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Strikes me that Joe Bryan simply isn’t a lover of the game. Often his heart just isn’t in it. Can see him going the way of David Bentley and quietly dropping out of football early on his own terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he needs to be marketable, if he’s going, I bet the deal is all but signed, many of these summer moves are set up months in advance.

CotswoldRed Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Great player for us, but I think he'd be pulled to pieces over a season in the Prem. The way he was pulled to pieces against Sunderland tells me he might struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireSection Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 The worst thing about JB moving on, for me, will be that the lad will go to a club that will play him further forward, left side of midfield/WB/or where I think he will flourish in the middle of the park. Would have loved to seen Joe play more in midfield for us. He has the athleticism and technique to be a really good midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 To be fair, of the four mooted departures Bryan is the one i’m least worried by. Few reasons for that: - We should get a decent wedge - We seem determined to play him in a position (LB) where he’s 50% of the player he is at LM - We’ve got Kelly to come in at LB Ultimately this is how our strategy works. Based on JB form (and I stress, not in what is his best position but what appears to be the position we seem hell bent on playing him) it’d have been a close run thing between him, Mags and Kelly at LB at the back end of last year. On that basis, it’s the least severe loss and may even improve us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really see this window much like when we were relegated and we lost players who you thought would be here forever as they are homegrown. We lost Skuse then and a lot of his team mates, they wanted to stay in the Championship despite being part of the team which couldn’t keep us there. This time we have players wanting the Premiership who somehow ran out of steam and desire to do the job and get their club promoted. Like the relegation team the players will get what they want and will leave us richer only financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexukhc Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 So people were saying we weren’t playing Joe in his best position, but want to replace him with Lloyd Kelly, who’s position isn’t even left back and not his best one at that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes he looks like he doesn’t necessarily want to be a footballer. Almost like his heart’s not in it a lot of the time - with the obvious caveat that when he decides he fancies it (á la Man Utd to name an obvious example) he can actually be an absolutely fantastic player. Maybe a big money move would actually benefit him in terms of the financials and allow him to retire from the game in a few years and do something he’s actually interested in.
