Cardiff have signed Vassell today so pushes him further down the pecking order They play Reid as a midfielder so i dont know if vassell signing is going to effect Reid so much ?

Bit hard to judge, as most of his career was further back. Cardiff fans I know (got a office in Cardiff so a few to go on) rated him and could not understand why Warnock didn’t use him as much.

wiggybcfc Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Makes complete sense, This would be the best move for all concerned, although wages as is now could be an issue, unless he took a drop on relegation? Reid knows the ‘city way’ knows the coaching staff and expectations...if as expected Nketiah move is not happening this would be perfect solution.

Or was Diedhiou also playing then? Diedhiou came back around February which coincided with our slump in form.

AshtonRobin21 Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 This would be the best possible scenario from this window surely? For a while now the discussion on here has been ‘find a replacement for Reid’. Now we may be able to re-sign the man himself. Suits our system perfectly, and would be coming into a team with more attacking talent than we had in his final season with us. Which you would hope would give him plenty of goal scoring opportunities. I miss us pressing from the front. Making defenders uncomfortable and forcing a pass. Bobby does that role perfectly. He would also fill the homegrown criteria required for each match day. The impact he could have on Semenyo would be a huge boost as well. Teaching him the role of pressing defenders and positioning in the box. I can only think of positives from this potential move. What would some fans have against this signing? The fact that he did the head tap when signing for Cardiff. Move on and accept that having Bobby back is the best player we could get for the role. I’m sure those few unhappy fans would have no problem cheering his name when he’s consistently putting the ball in the back of the net for us.

According to Wiki Reid scored 5 goals in premiership games where as Gayle scored 13 in 66. Where would I find goals per minute for each? It's how you play your front man, we all or should have expected Reid to crash and burn under Warnock, and so it was, he would be the ideal signing, but can't see it happening. Don't get too distracted by goals per minute to rate your strikers, it is apparent we need goals all through the team, and with the team structure now it does seem we have goals in depth. Thinking back to how we played when Fammy was banned for six matches was very effective, and we were a top side, that's how I want my City to play, and so I believe does LJ.

Beezey Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Would anyone actually class Reid as a 9 though ? Maybe given that we were reported to be in for him in January that this was a target all along with another striker ? I’d be delighted to see him back for the record.

formerly known as ivan Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 No no no! We have had Bobby’s best season out of him. He will never score that many in a season again. Has to be better options still available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhhshauntaylor Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Has it really come to this? 1 good season, made £10m profit. It’s a no from me. His stinks of desperation, there is no way this has been “planned” all summer- it’s a knee jerk reaction, I appreciate we were “close” in January, but IF we were still keen since then why didn’t we make this move 7 weeks ago when the window opened?
