Up The City! Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 10 million for a player out of contract next season? Yes please! I don’t care that it’s Cardiff, 10 million would be a great piece of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s a good fee for City then he can go anywhere, even Rovers, though they might have to pay in instalments over the next 150 years to afford it These things take time.

Dingbat Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 The last beneficial thing he can do for our club is pull in a decent transfer fee, which £10m certainly is. I couldn't give a tinkers cuss that it's Cardiff - In fact, I prefer that he's out of our division (if this all goes through). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 6 minutes ago, GrahamC said: Wondered if they might have been interested. Ideal move for him if true, no need presumably to leave BS5, a decent fee which along with the Magnússon, Flint (& presumably Bryan?) money we now need to re-invest. Think if he joins them though it answers the question as to how much of a fan he is.. I don't think he's a City fan at all. He's been 'schooled' at City since a very young age and he'll obviously have a very strong affiliation with the club due to that. That's from the inside looking out though rather than being any sort of fan in the sense all of us are. Iirc. he 'supports' Arsenal so it's quite possible he'd never have set foot inside AG but for being spotted as a schoolboy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 10 million for Bob who only has one year left on his contract and only one good season in the Championship? I'd take that every day of the week. Regardless of what club the offer was from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Course he’s not a fan. He’s an employee. But still, what a horrible twist that it has to be them. The fee is great if true but I won’t be able to find it in myself to wish him well there and what a sad end to an amazing season for him from the fans perspective. He won’t care of course, and neither really should he. But damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Add to the fact that if he hadn't come good this season just gone, he'd have likely been released on a free to someone like Plymouth.

AberRed Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 A Cardiff supporting friend of mine said there's no way they'll be paying £10 million for him. He says either the figure is wrong or the whole story isn't true. Guess we'll find out, but it seems to have a lot behind it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree mate. Don't think 10mil is bad business at all, especially as his contract is up end of next season. Just a shame that a.) it's Cardiff & b.) so close after selling Flint for peanuts.

Flagon Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 As I felt on the Flint situation, these transfers are far better out the way with now rather than dragged on through the summer and then they happen last few days before season starts. Had a fantastic season for us last time out, didn't really get going in any season before that. It's a shame to not be able to build around Flint and Reid being here but it happens and sooner rather than later on in the window is better. The real test will be how this all gets reinvested.

We were only just going to stay up this season apparently.... If these rumours are to be believed we’re talking about £15m+ into the kitty, assuming it’s made available. Of course the question of whether we spend that wisely is up for debate but we’re not a Burton or a Rotherham with a shoestring budget. We are a mid table club, budget wise, and I’d expect our squad to reflect that come the window shutting. To finish near the bottom 3 would be grossly underachieving.

Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I am not convinced by this story, but I would say Reid is definitely a Warnock type player, great engine and gives 100%. I see the knobhead post reporter has claimed this as a story now but it is as vague as the original tweet, journalism my arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's a shit move, but £10m is a cracking bit of business for a player in his last year. If possible, I'd put a sell-on clause or a goals clause as a part of the deal too, just in case we're letting a real gem go. Let's be fair, though. Cardiff are a Premier League team, and they've been a Premier League team in the past too. They're a much better prospect than we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red84 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Just goes to show you about loyalty in football. Anyone from Bristol who was a true fan of City would not sign for Cardiff. Bobby does not go with my best wishes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
