Major Isewater Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Let's be honest here , the ideal season for us would be Bobby playing well enough to secure a move to a proper Prem club when Cardiff are relegated next June . We must have negotiated a sell on clause and our reputation would be enhanced by an academy player doing well at the top level. I've no issues with Bobby , any one of us would have done the same ( perhaps with a little sadness) but what a great opportunity for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of his talent and work ethic, like I've said I can see Bobby scoring over 10 and having a relatively decent season. If I could get my wish though, it would be for him to flop and have a terrible year, return to Championship with a different club and a healthy bank balance, and City better placed all thanks to the 10milion quid being invested wisely.

It's not small minded and petty at all, it's raw footballing emotion. Small minded and petty would be somebody wishing ill on Bobby or making threats and nobody has done that.

Nothing against the lad personally but I have no desire to follow his progress or hope he does well. I hope Cardiff crash and burn and if that means a fruitless season for Bobby then so be it. Some might see this as petty but since when were footballing emotions supposed to be rational and balanced? 59 minutes ago, Rich_s said: Jeez.

Just imagine (almost impossible I know) that the fake sheik really was worth £6 billion and the blue few made it to the promised land. Bobby signs for them, dons the 'famous' blue and white quarters, and starts singing that awful dirge about the dead prostitute. What then? Oh good luck in the Premier league Bobby, 'cos you're one of our own? No, **** him. Anyway, Colin will probably get sacked by Christmas and Bobby will get loaned out to Derby or Stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Didn't bother me that he went to Cardiff. We only really have one rival team and it's not them, just don't think he will be a success there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 OK so Bobby has gone to arch enemies Cardiff. After one sensational season, and with a year left on his contract, put yourselves in his shoes. When might you ever get the chance again to play in the prem, quadruple your wages and probably secure your financial future? Is Bobby really going to think, "I can't do this because the City fans will feel really let down to see one of their academy players go across the bridge after City stayed loyal to me all those years"? Similarly, are City going to worry about fans' reaction to the move, and letting an academy player go to Cardiff, when they are offered the best part of £10m for a player who has had just one decent season in his time here and who would leave for nothing at the end of next season? I'm not saying that some players will have a sense of loyalty to a club, and particularly the club where they grew up, but for clubs and players these days they are working in a big business, and sometimes/most times they have to make business decisions where the head has to rule the heart. Players aren't fans, so won't see things they way we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Guess it shows that we all have different views / tolerances on these things. Each to their own. Personally I hope he does well there, but Cardiff struggle, but I can see why others want him to fail. I think he might have had a better opportunity to succeed at other lower Prem clubs, but they obviously didn’t offer £9m + £1m. I still like to see how the majority of our ex-players do.

I wish Bobby good luck as his good luck will be ours in terms of a sell on and prestige for our academy ( which adds further value to our academy players ) .

RedM Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 It was just a general comment, to no one in particular. I personally usually let the more reasoned fans post, I quite like hearing from opposition fans but there has been a few recently clearly out to provoke. If it’s just going to turn into abuse (from both sides) within a few posts it’s probably not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we all said, okay fair enough a young Bristolian gets a shot at the Prem, a big pay rise, doesn't have to travel far and earned the club a nice fee so he goes with our best wishes (which is the correct mentality) then there wouldn't be many Cardiff fans trying to generate such a reaction.

Sydneybcfc Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 You have to only go back to last summer when people were losing their minds that he was our replacement for Kodja "sack the manager and board, were getting relegated" to see why he doesn't owe us anything. I'm not saying he ever did anything before last season to earn our admiration but he also didn't do anything to receive half the abuse he got either. Regardless i hope he does well, I've got Cardiff supporting mates who I've had to endure all last season and while i'm hopeful they come straight back down and start wearing red again i do hope Bobby goes on to be a success.

Charlie BCFC Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Rumour has it Colin’s looking at going 442 with Reid partnering Zohore which would probably work better than Reid playing as the striker in a 433 with Colin’s long ball tactics. Do I think he’ll do well? I don’t expect Cardiff to stay up but I expect Reid will get atleast 5 for his side and a decent amount of assists aswell.

BigTone Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Whilst I thought Bobby was good for us last season I am not convinced he will make it in the PL and will be very much a bit part player.
