The hand of RO'D Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Anyone think Mcoulsky or Hinds might get a chance to impress during pre season and see where it takes them? Both have potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Smithies has been announced. Suspect they'll give that story a few hours before unveiling the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately its the price we pay for a bad January transfer window, we had a chance to push for promotion but didn't buy enough quality. I am sure Bob would of preferred to play for his home town club in the Premiership... Ditto @yardy Must be the heat sending me nuts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Musicworks Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 So it seems that although some thought we would have to sell cheap because he was in his last year and held ‘all the cards’ we in fact held our nerve sent WBA away with their lower offer and got great value. This was no fire sale, this was a club confident in their dealings who had a big say in the end result. Despite it being Cardiff I have to say we played a blinder. There has been much criticism lately of our transfer dealings with some justification but credit where credit is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City seem inconsistent about disclosing fees. I've read somewhere else it's £9m upfront with a mil add on, which I suspect could be if Cardiff stay up. Smithies is £3m upfront and 500k if they stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 From the Post... Bobby has passed his medical at Cardiff City and all the terms have been ironed out. As discussed yesterday, £9m upfront which could rise to £10m due to add-ons. Understand Bobby will nearly quadruple his Bristol City wages and will take home a large signing on fee as well. Cardiff will announce the signing imminently. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/bristol-city-transfer-live-webster-1723300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So LJ got it wrong again. Long live lickle Lee getting it wrong! And hindsight is great - who was disappointed when we signed Leko, Kent and Diony?

chipdawg Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Good luck to him I say. Best case scenario is that he plays well, scores 10 goals for them but they still get relegated then he gets a bigger money move to a more established prem team. With us having a 20% sell on clause, of course. At the end of the day, as brilliant as it's been having an academy product be arguably the best striker in the division, £10million for a 25 year old who's had one good Championship season and has 1 year left on his contract is very good business. I suspect he'll not be a '1season wonder's because his work ethic and all round game are so good, but it's not a sure thing. All the best Bobby, thanks for the cash and the memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That we've got more than reasonable money for two of our assets is beyond despute. How the club reinvest that money is what many are anxious about given the hit and miss extremes of recent windows!!

Hopefully he'll be the only highlight of Cardiff's relegation season and then get a move to an established Premier League team. I can only wish the lad well. It's rare to have a player who can chase the game tirelessly for 90 minutes. His stamina and determination are a credit to how hard he has worked to become a more complete player. Absolutely faultless attitude after all the years when we doubted that he could even cut it in the Championship. Good luck Bobby, we'll be watching you!
