Not too excited by that as we’ve played them recently. it’s probably not winnable, it’s not an away trip to a new ground, full house I guess so some money in maybe TV too.

Not sure we can draw a side that’s already been knocked out, or is this a whoosh?

It’ll make general sale still I’d imagine

Is it ok that I’m a massive fan boy for this lad? I feel like I’m too old to have a “favourite player” now but he’s incredible.

15k ish I believe? Pretty poor considering West Brom had over 3k - but understand why.

I love him, in fact I love this squad tbh But Kal especially, I’ve defended him at CB. He offers more than he costs IMO as frustrating as it can be. In midfield his bravery in passing isn’t as high risk, and he’s done a good job of mopping up in midfield

Im in Bristol working that week so home game suits me, or id like a big PL team away - United, Liverpool, Spurs as I’ve never been to their grounds

He’s already won the euros with the u19s, I know it’s no guarantee of senior call up but he’s in the right circles already. I missed the game today but absolutely buzzing for him and Sam Bell, just catching up on all the threads and comments. Sounds like a great win

Seasons only half way mind?

Could happen for the Carabao Cup

He's cup tied anyway, if that matters, but I guess it'll be about potential injury. I'd play him if nothings been agreed yet.

I didn't really read the thread as I dont look in the transfer section much, anyone have an idea of the fee?

In theory we can. A player's worth is their value to the club. That's why comparisons between different transfers is often pointless. We haven't it was 8+2 and now it's 9+? Sounds lke we might have, hopefully

Agreed, always liked Bents. Think he got too much praise at times (future England keeper apparently!) and too much criticism as well. In all he's up there with one of the better keepers we've had in my time watching City and seems a decent bloke too.

I agree we're probably not good enough to confidently play out like the top teams do. We don't necessarily need to start playing perfect passing football to benefit from a keeper who is good with his feet though, having someone comfortable receiving the ball under pressure and decent distribution will still be good for us

You still boycotting then?

From what I’ve seen this season, he’s getting better and better

Did you drag an old post up, despite there being a Vyner thread?

Went mad when that Belly goal went in, looked a bit silly in slug and lettuce when it was ruled offside but looking now it was probably the right decision. Decent performance from what I saw, I’d take a point given league positions

It’s obviously about what they are asked to do, every professional footballer - in fact even every amateur level corner taker I know can hit the box. It must be about what target/ area they are asked to hit that means a few go awry. I refuse to believe that Naismith or James are worse from a dead ball than myself

Too many times this season I’ve been in the place city are playing but not able to attend ? I was in Lancashire at a wedding when we played away, and annoyingly I’m in Bristol today with mates but not at the game. Hoping we can keep the spells of good football going and string it into a full 90 today. Failing that, I’ll take an underserved win which is more than possible with their iffy form

Click bait is bad enough on social media and everything else these days, does it really need to creep in here too?

People tend to say a keeper is a "great shot stopper, but not much else" I guess Lloris is an example of a keeper that isn't even that?

Why is this titled mick at Cardiff?
