Betelgeuse Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Maybe its a case of the offer to good to turn down? If the deal is over £1.5m then its a major profit in a few months but still gutted, not exactly building for the future is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest churchill gaffer Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Been on rad Bristol this morning, GJ says we have a replacement. be on in a mo 7-25 rad Bris How has he gone for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Sorry but GJ said we didnt need to sell any of our players, so that can only mean Carle wanted to leave, in which case we're better off (ok I know it doesnt feel like that now) without him. I only want players at this club, that want to play for the shirt, not someone who gives us a few months and then decides he'd rather be elsewhere. Don't jump to conclusions Marie. Carle WAS settled in the west country. Theres more to it than that young lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I can only think the offer must be a stupidly high one. I still cant see how Gary can say we don't need to sell our first team, and then a few weeks later one of our first team is off out the door, thats all I'm saying Arn.

Andy082005 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 How can people care when the guys been here half a season...we've CHOSEN to sell..and have a replacement lined up. Whinge later if it doesn't work out. Not now. What happened to positive support^^ I just think a lot of people are in shock pal! Lets be fair, he came in, started slowly, but finished the season as one of our best players, if not the best. Apart from his lack of goals, he was starting to look like just what we needed! As I said previously, since when have we become a selling club? surely any new midfielder sould be used to strengthen the squad? I just hope that the replacement is something thats pretty special....otherwise there could be a lot of unhappy fans I suppose its not as easy as that though, as Dolly said, if he wanted to leave....then so be it, but why would he want to leave?

internetjef Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 early thoughts are that it could be some kind of straight swap for ben watson? seems unlikely IMO as prem clubs want him. anyone any ideas who it might be. with our dearth of centre mids I'm surprised weve been scouting players intenetionally in that position. Its going to have to be someone bloming awesome or there will be uproar! Deco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every player has his price as we know. Maybe Carle's wife didn't like Bristol and we all know what influence woman have on thier men - especially if she has family or friends in the capital.

punnett Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 The fact is we are a selling club, this shows a total lack of ambition, we are selling, in my eyes, someone who is going to be a major influence in this division next season, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 hopefully Johnson lined up a great AMC then decided he had to sell Nick Carle to finance it rather than selling Nick Carle then going to look for a replacement theres definitely a deal done so we will have to wait for the name.

t_b Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Apparently the WDP has this story running in it - that article suggests an issue over NC's fitness levels being partially behind it; not being as good as they could/should be. Watson's rumoured to be off to QPR so isn't anything to do with this transfer and that it's a 'substantial cash bid'.

Rudolf Hucker Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 CITY TO SELL CARLE TO PALACE 08:00 - 23 June 2008 By Andy Stockhausen BRISTOL CITY are to sell midfield star Nick Carle to a rival Coca-Cola Championship club less than seven months after he signed for the Robins. A deal has been agreed between City boss Gary Johnson and Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock and the 26-year-old Australia international will complete a shock move to Selhurst Park later this week. Although neither club is willing to disclose details of the fee involved, I understand City will receive significantly more than the £500,000 they paid Turkish club Genclerbirligi for Carle?s services back in January. Released by the Australian national squad at the weekend, Carle is expected to become an Eagles player when he returns to the UK in the next few days. And Johnson already has a replacement lined up for the Sydney-born schemer, who made 20 appearances in City colours last season. Johnson, who is back at work following a short break in Spain, refused to discuss the club's transfer dealings and the identity of Carle's replacement remains a mystery. But there is no doubting the imminence of his departure and sources in South London suggest the Socceroos international will travel to South London for talks soon after his flight from Australia puts down at Heathrow. Palace want to recruit Carle as a direct replacement for playmaker Ben Watson, who last week turned down the offer of a new Palace contract. England Under-21 midfielder Watson has attracted interest from rival Championship clubs and big-spending Queens Park Rangers are heading a long list of suitors. Eager to remain in his native London, Watson has already been spotted at Loftus Road and is expected to complete a £1.5 million move to Rangers any day now . Eagles boss Warnock saw plenty of Carle last season. The Aussie star made his Football League debut in South London in January and then starred for City in the two-legged Championship play-off semi-final between the two sides. City's decision to sell a player who showed signs of adapting successfully to the English game will surprise supporters. But question marks remained over the Australian's fitness and ability to last a 46-game league campaign. Although he spent his first month in England working closely with City fitness coach Glenn Schmidt, Carle never really reached full fitness and was troubled by a number of niggling injuries. He missed the crunch game away to Stoke City in April. While Johnson has no intention of breaking up a team which went so close to earning promotion to the Premier League, he is also a pragmatist and recently informed the Daily Press that every player has his price. It seems Palace have made a cash offer City feel they cannot turn down, and the money will be invested in a like-for-like replacement . City officials last night declined to divulge the identity of the new arrival, but an Ashton Gate source confirmed: "A deal has been done and a midfielder will be coming in as Nick Carle leaves."

Betelgeuse Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Paper talk is 'City will receive significantly more than the £500,000 they paid Genclerbirligi' but it doesnt say who the replacement is but Ben Watson name is mentioned although only saying QPR offered around £1.5m for him.

Guest churchill gaffer Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 What the f@@@!!!! I hope we have a suitable replacement? In so many years before we have sold our best players to pay for another player! Does this mean the money will go to a Striker, but now we have no midfield to supply the new Striker. One year we have a good defence or mid field and need a Stricker. Then we weaken the defence or midfield to get a good strikeforce! When will we learn, you need to build not keep changing!

formerly known as ivan Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 whoever this replacement is best be someone special. however, i can see it being a reject from a club like derby, pearson or jones or someone along those lines. hopefully time will prove johnson's decision to sell will be the right one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
