TBW Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, class not gas said: To be honest dont think I would be happy,but transfer prices have gone crazy and if a club were asking 20 mill for a player and Lansdown was prepared to pay it I'd say sign him up. And then you'd get a repeat of 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redandwhitescarf Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 2 hours ago, class not gas said: Think we will find it hard to get someone in with Websters quality, but yes suppose so. His head had been turned as shown in the game against Palace. If you had the chance of playing in the top tier of English football, you’d take it. It’s not as though we are his boyhood club. For many footballers and indeed workers in other occupations it’s a case of work hard, do well and get the just rewards. For a club like City it’s a case of enjoy them while you can. It’s a two way thing, they can be good for the club and the club can be good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with @class not gas, always cheers me up up to hear Rovers are losing and surprised any City fan would feel any different. Absolutely shitty club who hate City getting off to a losing start - what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 3 hours ago, class not gas said: If your not feeling a bit down about Webster leaving you dont share the same passion I do for Bristol City, we all knew it was going to happen but still feel gutted. You must be a young un - I used to get distraught when my fave players left way back in the day when I was young, naive and assumed the players would stay forever. I was gutted when Glyn Riley left but nowadays I’m totally comfortable with players coming and going - especially when we get £22m for one who’s only been here for five minutes. Oh, and I can assure you my passion for City is at the very least the equal of yours ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 You can probably count on one hand the number of clubs in world football that don't have to sell their best players. The important thing is to get a good deal when you do. We did and we have consistently for a few seasons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlborough Red Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 At present we have a vastly inferior squad to last season having lost Kelly, Webster , Pisano and Mo Elsa with no notable replacements. We had Webster /Da Silva / Kalas and Palmer last season and we didn't go up! Unless we use the money from the sale of Webster to get a quality striker , I fail to see how wee can expect to finish higher than last year. Now aged 68 and a fan for over 60 years , I am rapidly running out of patience (and time) to see us back in the top flight. Always selling our best players is not a recipe for a successful side...Kelly / Webster /Flint / Reid /Bryan etc. Hopefully LJ will prove me wrong and we will gain promotion this year. ...but I'm not holding my breath.

Meh Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Sat on a balcony in Tenerife. Boiling hot and sporting the biggest t-wat tan known to man. Not really bothered about a new signing to be honest - worse things in life like people pointing at the ink blotch red and white man. Whole family representing tomorrow in various City related clothing. I will just leave my top off to show my true colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, totally get where you are coming from. Just have to keep the faith that the next one is just around the corner. We've improved a lot on the recruitment front and if the funds are invested wisely there's no reason we can't replicate that sort of signing.
