Leveller Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 As long as the loanee club pays the wages, these signings can be seen as a free punt. Could easily do OK and be sold to a League One club, or alternatively get a place in our squad. Are we following the Chelsea model? Does it really matter if we never see them play for us if there’s a negligible cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Welcome to the club, Rob. Here's hoping you're good enough to push for the first team in the not-so-distant future. I feel his comments are interesting (taken from the city site): “I’ll come in at Under-23s level first and maybe go on loan somewhere, get some games at a high level and get more experience from that. “Hopefully if I do well it will lead on to better things here but we will have to wait and see.” It sounds like he has doubts about whether he will play for City, with his 'wait and see' comment. With all the players we send out on loan, we'll soon have the Chelsea of the Championship reputation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s so much doubting his ability but recognising that it is a huge step up in his career and he’s, wisely, not taking anything for granted.

However he’s hardly going to say “give it a month and I’ll take Webster’s place for good” in his first interview!! What is clear from reading the Bath website is that he saw joining them last season as a stepping stone to getting into professional football and judging by Jerry Gill’s comments he listened, worked hard and made a huge improvement over the course of the season. Obviously four tiers is a huge step up for the lad so a season long League 2 loan makes huge sense for his development but nobody seems to have a bad word to say about him and even at that level if you are getting Players, Managers and Supporters Player of the Year awards you really have to be a stand out player.

With all the players we send out on loan, we'll soon have the Chelsea of the Championship reputation! Let's be fair, he's probably being honest (which is refreshing). He will realise the chance he now has, will probably play/train and give 150% because he knows what it's like to be outside of the "professional footballer bubble". He might not make it, may end up at a L1/2 club, or he may do a Flint/Vardy/Wright and flourish once given the chance. Signings like this are a gamble that are worth taking from the clubs prospective, minimal outlay, giving someone a chance to prove their worth, and if/when he moves on it could well be for a big fee. Might be for nothing, but it's worth a shot. Good signing, and will be worth keeping an eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 If I were Taylor Moore, I'd be pissed off with my time at Bristol City. I know he's still young, but he turned down first-team football in the French second division to not playing in England's second division. Since Moore had a good season at Southend, I would expect Championship or bust. IMO, both Vyner and Moore should be given an opportunity to impress at the back, and while it'd be nice to see waht Cundy can do, I can only assume he'll be given his chance to impress on loan, like Vyner and Moore have successfully done.

I think Pre-Season is make or break for both players with regards to their futures here. Moore has had plenty of loan spells, and his initial contract can't have much more than another season or so to run? It's thought that he was going to get a decent run for this season, but then picked up an injury, so went out on loan. I would be surprised if he started as a first choice (RB/CB), but would hope he would be pressing for a regular place in the matchday squad. Otherwise he may as well be sold off now, because his value is just going to run down. Could be one that is sold with a future sell on fee, or first refusal should he pick up a few years down the line. Vyner has had his season on loan in the Championship with Rotherham, and that move could prove to be a masterstroke by the management - experience of the league we're playing in, without mistakes affecting our league position/results. He has overcome a bit of criticism there, and has since had very good reviews from Rotherham fans. I wouldn't be surprised to see him lining up as a starter next season, providing he comes through the friendlies relatively well. 2 players that have potential for us, but eventually that potential has to shine through. Personally I think the Vyner is the one that is more likely to come through, but would love for both to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the Vyner is the one that is more likely to come through, but would love for both to make it. Moore signed a 1 year extension last summer, so his initial deal that expired this summer, will now expire next summer. I think City sensed 18/19 season would be a guide to whether he stayed beyond this summer, so didn’t want him out on loan with an expiring contract, hence the one year extension to provide us with a bit of protection. I think Vyner has jumped ahead of Moore, and it wouldn’t surprise me if he is sold in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
