I don't agree - they have had months to sort this out. Whilst Fam is happy in Bristol it would seem very likely his agents are looking for the next pay day and are not so keen for him to stay put. The longer it goes on the less time and choice there will be in finding a replacement to integrate before the season gets under way. It's far from a done deal for me -hope I am proved wrong though.

If his agent is being problematic I'd assume the club would go straight to Famara and tell him so, if Famara wants to stay he'd then set his agent straight on that.

Middlesbrough Robin Posted August 25, 2020 Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 Didn't Flint agree an extended contract a year before he left, with clauses to make it easier for him to move on if the right club came knocking? I suspect Fam wants to take his time to negotiate something similar, as he likes being here, but still has dreams of playing at a higher level before his chance is gone.

Holden said, on Saturday, that it’s close. You’re then panicking, on Tuesday, that it’s not confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Fam signs, it's a step in the right direction if he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 1 hour ago, JonDolman said: I think with Fam there could be a fairly low release clause in his new contract perhaps for a prem club. He says he wants to play prem football. Maybe he is looking at how we look now under Holden and feels a new attacking approach can get him scoring more like the 1 in 2 he did in his debut season. Score more goals and maybe quicker move to prem football than it would if he went abroad maybe. Would love to see Fam get 20. I think he is capable. We haven't exactly played like a creative team in recent seasons. Creative!! What does that mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow&Blue&Red Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I wonder whether there's any incentive for Famara's team to make a quick decision. City are unlikely to take their deal off the table, which means Famara's agent can spend the rest of the window trying to drum up a better deal. Fingers crossed I'm wrong!

robin_unreliant Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I assume there have been no acceptable bids for him. If there had, surely we would have cashed in if he is refusing to sign. While I can see he has merits, a club with genuine promotion ambition would te looking to trade up. MA seems to sell quite happily if we get a good offer. Therefore I can only guess that nobody is interested at a price that would suit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell but personally I’d be amazed if Famara played in the prem unless it was with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell but personally I’d be amazed if Famara played in the prem unless it was with us. If we look at the top scorers in 19/20 Champ, you can see those strikers that outperform their xG (little green plus icon) and those that don’t. Wells and Diedhiou highlighted. Wells scored 18 (xG of 12.33) - pretty stellar return and most strikers in this list outperform their xG. Diedhiou scored 12 (xG of 14.21) - Ayew and Bamford similarly don’t convert at similar rates. He isn’t a natural finisher, but if Holden can help him form a partnership with Wells, then his conversion of chances may be less important. That’s more important to me. I don’t think Prem teams would be buying him as an out and out scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westonred Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 DH has just said that talks are still ongoing with Fam about a new contract.. This is leaving things a bit late isn't it we could go into the new season with our top goal scorer wanting to leave and no time to get in a decent replacement Why do we leave things until the last minute >>?

Who would you see buying him? I think there's a few teams that might be interested in a normal window for £6/10m. I could see the likes of West Brom, Brighton, Burnley, Sheffield United, Villa and Fulham perhaps being interested in him as a squad player. This isn't a normal window though and spending on squad players may be affected so possibly not as it stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
