Bristol Rob Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I think I am in a minority of one, but I am pretty relaxed about selling him, and the need to get a replacement lined up asap. Baker is a great (if injury prone) Championship centre back. Wright can play centre back. Moore looks to be developing in to fine young centre back. Have to wonder as well, just what the influence of Kalas alongside ANY centre back is worth. Could it be that his ability allows other players to perform without fear. And with an upgraded keeper behind them, maybe it's time for one of those 3 to shine. Obviously, I wouldn't turn down a centre back better than those 3, but it's a position we do have depth of cover in. Chill peeps, it'll be fine.

Redrascal2 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Well we seem to be struggling to get the striker and defensive midfield player in now we have to get a centre half as well. Ashton will have to earn his money in the next 5 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 I'm hoping to see a few 5m+ signings at least. I'll be surprised if we splash anything around 10m immediatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him, quality on the ball, hope he does well at Brighton. Bobby Reid - one good season in a City shirt 10M. Adam Webster - one good season in a City shirt - 20M. Who's next?

miketh2nd Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Its pretty sickening considering we have lost one of our main cbs one day before the start of the season . Its a little easier seeing him go than say flint as he was only here a season and we've made a great profit! He is however even harder then Flint to replace , if we can get a cb anything near him and a proven goal scorer then it'll all be worth it . I do have less expectations for top 6 now (based on current signings) , just thats just being realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfOfWestStreet Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Again excellent money for a talented player. I hope this sends a message to the footballing community that Bristol City is a great platform to take your career forward. I don't want to be a complete downer on the whole thing but that must be 70 old million in the last year in transfers. I'd like to see us now more aggressive in the transfer market and get those peices we desperately need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Just want to understand if we got a good deal here or not. Sounded like City put a value of £30mil on the player to stop the chancers from making stupid bids (yes, Villa, I mean you), but probably with the understanding that £20mil+ would see the deal over the line. Meanwhile, Rovers valued Taylor at £10mil and got 300k for him. We won, didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes from near Brighton so moving back ‘home’ would have been a huge incentive. That’s not say a huge salary increase along with a very decent signing on fee plus joining a PL team were enough on an incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Pretty gutted but can't turn that money down. That said, it needs to be 're invested. All of it. Unfortunately I think I maybe dissapointed come Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 We're a selling club and until such time as we conceivably might compete to reach the top flight (not anytime soon IMHO) that's what we'll remain. Webster and Kelly deals too good to turn down for a club shipping £20m and upwards a year. My gripe is yet again under WeeLee this happens the day the season starts. Where's the longer term succession planning? Another close season where fans know we need a minimum two strikers, plus holding and creative midfielder yet the management focus on keepers and development opportunities that rarely materialize. Spent big money on decent players for our level, but only to retain what we had last year where we didn't exactly set the league alight. I really hope we start like a house on fire such we might attract some decent loanees as should the wheels come off first two games i dread to think how this season might go? I know little of Sammy S but who else is going to 'step-up'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So whilst the timing isn't great, you can hardly ask the other clubs to get their bids in early, just so we have a chance of signing a replacement.

Deals are months in the planning and most successful management teams have variant ducks in a row, hence often transfers happen immediately once the key deal goes through. This rarely seems to happen at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
