RedM Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 8 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: What makes people think Webster has gone all wobbly? If it was the performance against Palace, then it would be fair to say that 75% of the team have had their heads turned! They were shocking. Maybe the rest of them became aware of what was going on in the background and it dawned on them that without Webster this season might not go the way they had hoped and worked on too?

Major Isewater Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Two thoughts,; maybe we will be less predictable in our play without Webster . I wouldn’t be happy as a buying club with such a high fee . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, he's a good player but... was he really that good? No. He was good but not sure he'll make it in the Prem. Not physical enough and lacking goals at set pieces. The money is ridiculous imo.

If you do you’ll have an unhappy and resentful player on your hands who won’t perform at his best This is an opportunity for Webster to increase his wedge x4 and play in the PL All City can do is get the best deal they can and we can all trust MA to do just that, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see why he won't be prem quality. He has everything and was very comfortable playing against Wolves last season. Much more so than Kalas was imo.

NOTBLUE Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Was told last night,by someone who works at Ashton Gate,that Webster and Palmer are both done deals and will be announced either today or tomorrow.He’s not known as a wind up merchant,so make of it what you will.

I hope the club have expected this development and have planned according. This is a real opportunity to strengthen the team - could be a very interesting 8 days. According to LJ, we have up to 30....Yes 30!! people working on recruitment ( I replayed it to make sure he said that number) So if we cannot sign 2 or 3 decent new players, with that many working on incoming recruits, we never will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a real shame that we couldn't have held on to him for another season. Simply because it is great to watch a class player playing in your own side.

Luxo Jr. Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think it's worth remembering that Webster was 'injury prone' when we signed him. That we're looking like making over £20 million profit on a defender that apparently wouldn't have an injury free season is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be lucky to get any decent results early doors imo. I get the impression the way LJ preferred to set up was based around the strengths of Webster. He's recently said that his biggest worry now is to decide on the best way to set up for the Leeds game. With potential incoming, it's going to be very hard for LJ to decide on who to play and where. Imo... he'll go for tried and tested with Baker or Wright in place of Webster, and and new players on the bench. Regardless...it's still very unsettling and not great preparation for the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I daresay that LJ has been aware that Webster will be moving on and will, along with his assistants been looking to cover the vacancy. We as fans don’t know how highly Vyner and Moore are rated by LJ and whether he feels either of them could fill the void. My guess is that he’ll go with the experience of Wright and or Baker to pair up with Kalas. Whatever he does the loss of Webster will have a significant impact - not what anyone would want with the opening fixture just days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or were they expected to be fit? i wouldn’t be adverse to Moore if needed. He’s has two years of loans in the three years he’s been here, so broadly seems pointless keeping him here if we don’t trust him to start still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
