I'm as far from an athlete as you could get! I got (?), glandular fever 30 years ago which led to several relapses and was finally diagnosed with M.E., an energy sapping illness which to this day leaves me doubting my ability to carry out many physical tasks as I can't predict what my energy levels will be from day to day. So my sympathies obviously lie with Pato if this is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I interpreted the post differently to you, I understood the point to be about selling off all the quality in a squad when you still need it to compete. Which is what I agreed with.

The Bard Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 7 hours ago, CitySSeven said: Here's my thoughts. Pack bought for 200k Flint bought for 300k Bryan and Reid were free Mags, not too sure. The fact that we've gotten all these players for around 2 million and we're now selling them for what would be total of 20 Mill + Is great business. Maybe some forget the fact that before last Season, Bobby was no asset for us, Kelly is almost certainly capable of filling Bryans place. Flint has served well but was always at the heart of a defence that shipped a lot of goals. Pack is good but doesn't have any stand out traits and Mags albeit his love by the fans, just never got going. 4/5 of these players are promotion players, we need to move on. I think the only real loss would be Flint and Bobby (no replacement yet). There will be more incomings. Stop panicking people The award for wishful thinking goes to...

Rich Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 49 minutes ago, JonDolman said: He was unbelievably good before that illness and when playing centrally. Nail on head there, (centrally). After his return from injury, he was returned to the team but seemed to be suffering physically after losing weight. Christmas came and he seemed to be getting it back together, or that's how I saw it. Transfer window happens and we sign Kent to play wide right, changing the shape of the team. Famara comes back in and, Paterson ends up in a restricted role on the left wing, charged with more defensive duties and BR taking up the central role. That's when his performance and subsequent appearance levels dropped. He aint a left winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff don’t play whooshball. So many sucked into believing that. They are physical, they play one / two touch stuff, not tiki-taka I accept, but they play forward every time they can, as quickly as possible and into their wide-men as much as possible.

Centre halves literally pump it long at every opportunity. Horrible to watch. Perhaps effective but i dont see that style suiting Bobby! £10m suits me though as im sure it does the club.

Bloody frustrating when it goes into the midfield, goes nowhere, back to Flint, who whacks it forward. I quite liked the attritional way we played up til Xmas, with our 4 CBs. It wasn’t very attractive at times, but I liked that we gradually ground down the opposition, scored and then defended well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedFencing Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 10 mil for a player who has had one good season and no reassurance he will do the same next year, seems like really good business for the club. Even more so when he is an academy product. I assume he would most likely be the most expensive city academy graduate? Happy to be wrong. You would also hope it will give the current academy lads a boost and drive to emulate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way just because someone earns a huge wedge already isn’t going to stop them taking a bigger one if it’s on offer. Human nature. 45% income tax on income over £150K PA. And I would move for a substantial pay rise, loyalty doesn’t pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact it’s that welsh lot adds debate to the subject . Get a decent sell on fee as he’ll want to go when they get relegated anyway .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
