Up The City! Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 38 minutes ago, AJgEEZa said: Is he though? We need goals. Other than the one season he hasn’t got a record of scoring goals. He also took last year off as they didn’t play him, what did he get.... 1 or 2 goals? Someone dismissed Vydra earlier on twitter as he has only got 20 goals in 2/8 seasons and scored 15ish in the others. It’s not even close is it! But a better record than Eddie! You do realise that one season was the only season he played as a striker right? He was never going to fit into the way that Cardiff play. Our system suits a player like him perfectly. Again, forget that it's Bobby Reid, if it was any other player that was a similar type of player with a similar record, we would be creaming ourselves. Let's not fool ourselves here. 35 minutes ago, James54De said: 5 goals in 16 starts, with 11 sub appearances in the premier league. Not a bad record tbf in a team that he wasn't suited to playing in, in a new league, in a team that got relegated. Had he played a full season, starting games and played in the correct position then it's highly likely he would have got 10+ goals and that wouldn't have been a bad return imo.

TheCulturalBomb Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 We would be mad not too take him back. Ticks every box in how we want our players to play, fantastic on the ball, creative and a clinical finisher. Bring him home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the crucial figure in a team that played the best football - by a mile - of any Bristol City team I have watched. Despite our efforts last season, we never looked as fluid. Bobby Reid up front with Diedhiou and Palmer? Yes. Please. I was right behind you until the middle bit of the 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love nothing more than to see BR come back and fire us into the top six, but I’m still not convinced it’s the right move. Will sleep on it.

He is world class. Ok then answer this, WHEN LJ has played Weimann upfront (his preferred position btw) he scored 5 in 6 games before being shunted out wide, then a hat trick away at Promoted Sheff Utd plus another couple here and there. So why is he so shit according to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get that and do not disagree with it to be fair. It’s factual and I like facts. Question though, if you could have one of Reid, Abraham, Vydra, Kodjia, Assombolonga, Nketiah, Wells or someone else who would you pick and why?

Reid or Vydra, totally proven at this level and we have the players to play to their strengths. Especially if they're permanent signings. I would add Marriott to that list as well. Tammy? Moved on to a different level and will get games at Chelsea this season hopefully and I wish him well. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superjack Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Not enamoured tbh, but one thing that I will say is that if he does return he better be doing the Murray "cupped ear" in his announcement video or otherwise he can just **** right off over the bridge again.

He scored 20 before why not now in arguably a better, more creative team? The kid suits our pressing style and loves the faminator. Also, I think he still gives a shit, which is a + in my book.

brad blit Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 If people are happy with Reid as this ‘proven no 9’ you need your head examined. He had 1 good season for us and we made a great deal selling him for 10mil when he was barely worth 500k season before. Plus we’ve already signed his direct replacement Weimann who still can’t get a shot as striker because he keeps being forced wide. THE most important thing today is to sign a ball playing defender to replace Webster (as Wright, Baker cannot do this role and it’s too soon for TM) and get competition/replacement for Fammy if LJ wants to persist with this formation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstart Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 We all suspected Cardiff would be back in the Championship after one season in the Premier, I never saw Bobby as a Premiership striker so I believed Warnock took him with a view to having him ready for when they did rejoin the Championship. If Warnock is prepared to let him go now, especially if it was back to us, I have to wonder why he doesn't rate him at Championship level all of a sudden. Personally I'd like him back if he was cheapish but only if we are in for another striker too, it'll be disappointing to me if Bobby was the only striker we bring in.

I don’t know what Cardiff’s budget is like but Im not so sure they’d spunk £10 mill on a player they don’t view as good enough for the Prem on the basis that he’d be handy if they end up back in the Championship. Why not put the money towards a player who would be more likely to help them stay in the Premiership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
