TBW Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Both of them showed complete loyalty to the contracts they signed. They were seeing them out as the contracts say they should. Nobody should be forced into signing a new contract if it might lower their chances of progressing their career and reducing their opportunities to get where they believe is a new and intriguing option that they want to take up. I'd say more but the incredible volume of 'rubbish' reactions to your original post says quite a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 Two or 3 different ways to measure profit on transfers. Hell even on Magnússon we made a profit in one sense, if not in terms of raw fee! That is a positive spin though. It can be reinvested in transfers and used to move the club further towards good finances. Definitely good for us financially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 10 hours ago, BRISTOL86 said: Nowt wrong with that. If a few dinosaurs want to swap teeth with each other in a local park they still have that option, whereas grown adults who can act like civilised humans, even - god forbid - at a football match, can enjoy the atmosphere in the fan park. As for the blue, considering a team that plays in blue plays at the stadium I guess that's not exactly front page material. If you choose to somehow associate that with Bristol Rovers it's a bit odd. I wore a blue polo shirt to the match on Saturday, I guess it's lucky I didn't get bounced down a flight of stairs! The poster was expecting a player in a game that has become increasingly gentrified and homogenised to display the same partisan values he does. Players display the same conservative values of the game. Club offers money to Club wanting money accept offer. More money there player goes there. Loyalty? Mr Lansdown regularly now puts a players price tag in public. We want £££ he goes. That's the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TinMan's left peg Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just over a year ago there were plenty of people on this forum saying how we should get rid of both players. How Bobby wasnt championship standard and Joe had been found out at this level. Now all of a sudden they’re “disloyal” for moving onto bigger clubs and netting us £15 million in the process.

Things like that leave me torn whether we should be proud our academy produced such a player, vs leaving us in the lurch 3 days before the window (I know, loan options that can be made perm in Jan etc) shuts.

Spike Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I have no issue with Bobby even though he went to a rival because he went up a league, it was a good move for him and we got a fair price, however, £6m for Bryan feels like a kick in the balls, especially if he moves to a team in the same league who failed to make it despite practically financially crippling themselves. I understand he wants to progress but he's been linked with numerous Premier League clubs over the last few years, seeing him go to another Championship club feels like a proper kick in the nuts.

Grey Fox Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 The fact that other clubs want to buy players who are a product of our academy is surely a sign of how well we are progressing? Personally I will applaud both Joe Bryan and Bobby Reid when/if they play against us (same for non academy Aden Flint) as they have been great players for us. This idea that academy players should stay forever is simply naieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works both ways. Bryan had a year left on his contract, so if it's a surprise to LJ and Ashton that Bryan wants out then any panic buys should be on them. Hell, this place has been panicked over Bryan for months. If the club are behind what a bunch of fans with too much time on their hands then we've got a bigger problem than losing a first-team left-back. We've got a coach that is too naive to be trusted with player contracts, and a CEO that can't make deals to a deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
