BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If we do sell Webster then I'd like to see us go for Van der Hoorn of Swansea, could probably get him cheap although Hector wouldn't be a miss in our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the two I’d go for Hector. I think he’s the better defender and would add steel, he’s a hard bastard! VDH is a nice passer, but not as strong defensively. Happy with either though.

'Orns Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If Webster goes I hope we sign a DM same day and give him the #4 shirt Yep it's that time of the year where I have a moan about a centre half wearing that number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad blit Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 IF Webster was to be sold (which I’m resigned to) then I’d hope that we look at a younger ball playing centre back, as we have plenty of experience in Kalas, Baker & Wright already in this position. The likes of Hector (aged around 27) won’t have huge potential for sell on and it’s seems Vyner/Moore aren’t deemed as good enough to push for starting lineups so we need to look at youth.

RedM Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 2 hours ago, EmissionImpossible said: Allow Webster to go? We have tried everything to get him to stay but if we force him, it won’t go well. Can you imagine your employer forcing you to stay in your job when you were offered more money and better prospects elsewhere? It has nothing to do with Bristol City’s ambition if he goes, it’s to do with his ambition. I understand what you are saying but you really can not compare a footballer’s work arrangements with the majority of careers in most other sectors. A footballer is bought and sold, ‘normal’ people on the whole aren’t. A footballer signs a contract for a period of time, most of us don’t. I don’t know what I will be doing in fours years time for example, no guarantee of work for me from now until then, I have no job security as such. Talking of the contract, players are happy enough to sign and get 3 or 4 years wages guaranteed. But on the flip side if it suits they can ignore the contract they have and go looking for something more lucrative. Usually the parent club is happy for the player to walk away as there is £££ in it for them, but it must be as frustrating as hell too when the contract isn’t honoured and you have to start over again and source another player to replace your asset. Sounds much like the situation we had with Flinty last season, head gone and cannot play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if Hector helped to get us promoted that would be worth more than any future transfer fee. Also, 27 hardly old for CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it might be that a more experienced player is bought in with a view to Vyner and/or Moore being able to make the step up with another year under their belts.

It'll also give him a minimum of one whole season for bigger teams to see him as a player to buy which is why I hope and prey we at least put in a very good sell on clause.
