Nogbad the Bad Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Cundy showed he was reasonably comfortable playing Championship football and now his injury worries seem behind him is only likely to improve. Should City decide to replace him (there seems an assumption that Naismith has been signed to play CB but surely it's just one of numerous positions he might play) it is likely to be a veteran, e.g. Davies, or a player completely unproven at this level, e.g. Horsfall. Good signing for Barnsley and good move the player himself, but from a BCFC point of view a bit disappointing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Think it’s the best decision for his career, disappointed from a city perspective though. Proved himself to be competent at this level last season, I wouldn’t want him as a first choice but he’d have been a dependable backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Wikipedia page says he has already signed for Barnsley btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Title changed a little prematurely. I expect it'll be announced tonight (assuming he didn't fail his medical!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 After putting pen to paper at Oakwell today, Robbie told us: “I’m delighted to be here. “It’s been in the pipeline for a few weeks now. I’m happy to get it over the line and I can’t wait to get started. “First and foremost, I’m a defender. I’m going to win my headers. I like to play out when I can and hopefully, we can do that this season.” Barnsley FC CEO, Khaled El-Ahmad added: “We are happy that we have secured Robbie’s services, despite interest from other clubs. “Robbie brings Championship experience with him and provides us with another option in the defensive positions. He has proven in the past that he can overcome adversity and will add leadership qualities to the group. “We wish him the best of luck in his time here at Oakwell.” Best of luck to him. Worked hard to get where he is and a 2 year deal at a club where he'll probably play each week is fair reward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Apparently a 3 year contract which I imagine is longer than we offered, and should get more game time than being 5th choice CB here. At 25 he needs to be playing and L1 should be a better fit. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendip City Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Perfect for him really. 1 year of L1 experience then back to the Championship as Barnsley, inevitably, get promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 They have given him 2 years (not 3) which suggests our offer was only one. Been told by people I trust that he was told earlier this season we were letting him go, though we changed our mind. Not surprised he jumped at the security of a couple of years with a club that should be in the promotion shake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
