freezer Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I don't usually speculate but, I think Mr Tyson may well be wearing the Red of the mighty Bristol City shortly. Source.........Fat bloke down the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sodburyred Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 That's him on his way then - maybe to us ? They'll be a bit more receptive now when City go back to them with a similar offer to the first one we made. Expect we'll get him for a million!!

Forest_for_life Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 What I expect has happened is that we haven't offered him much of a wage increase or more than a 2 year deal due concerns about his injury problems and he has rejected it. I cant see how we can keep him on for a season and lose him to free agency like we did Commons, a bid around the £1m-1.2m mark should get him.

I wouldn't spend £50 on a plate that has a load of cracks in it, if you get my drift. To pay that would be sheer lunacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnerKebab Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 With this news I can't see us tabling more than £850k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhyde Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 It'll probably take that amount judging from other transfers of strikers in this division, but then again he only has 12 months left on his contract and could go for nowt after that so a face saving undisclosed may do it. I think 600-800k now..or..we'll get him in jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pay that would be sheer lunacy. We've already rejected a £750k bid though and by all accounts the club want to keep hold of him because if he went we'd have Earnshaw and nobody else up front. I agree with you that he isnt worth that amount of money but I suspect that is what you will have to come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 79 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Now he is rejected his contract maybe a cheeky bid is required around what we bid before maybe they might accept now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 This is promising news on a deal that i thought was looking more and more unlikely. wouldnt want to see us spending over 1 million on him though would like to see another striker as well, preferably an egyptian one with a 3 in his name do you know any suitable ones?

bcfc_4_life Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Who, Who? Where i woudn't be to dissapointd with tyson, if we do go over a million for him i agree with tin that theres better players out there for around the 1 million asking range.... Maynard would be one i would seriously look at no offers and there willing to sell, good propsect and a good scorer which we're lacking also younger then tyson. I'd also look at porter from moterwell and would of looked at mccormack but he's gone cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b2x1y Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I personally wouldn't want to spend over £500k for this guy. Not really that good at league 1. Not the sort of guy i would expect GJ to go all out for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolian76 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 If he does go "all out for him" then surely GJ must see something in him, havent we learned to trust him by now? Obviously not judging by this thread and others with negative comments about a player we havent even signed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I don' t know about signing a striker being a priority. What with "sicknote" Brooker, Williams already having joined and Tyson possibly in the wings, with their respective injury backgrounds I think we might well need another physio.

Redbarn Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Cant see it being 1.2 maybe a mill but no more! Maybe even for £750k, considering fitness/injury problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Why - We paid a Million for Trundle? And what did he do exactly? Trundle came with proven pedigree but no experience at this level and advancing years. As much I love Trunds the bottom line is he cost us £200k per goal last season which ultimately isn't good enough. As I've said on previous posts on other threads, I fail to understand why we would be in for a player given his injury record (26 appearances last season), the fact he has no experience at this level and also the fact he only found the net 9 times last season doesn't exactly fill me with confidence either. Sorry but that's just my opinion and for the £1m-£1.2m price quoted by 'FFL' on this thread, I think that would be another huge waste of money. The next striker we get in needs to be right given GJ's tried 30+ players up front in his time here, spending over £2m in the process and yet we're still here having a striker debate. It's the only blemish on an otherwise impecible record in his time here IMHO which is why I'm anxious to see we're getting the right man in this time. That's the last thing I'll say on Tyson as it's been done to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about return on investment and quite frankly goals are the 'return'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Lad Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 I don't see why we would want to spend anywhere near 1.2 mill on him. Good player but no more, espically with his injury record, whilst with his contract being out in 12 months Notts wont want to lose him for nout in 12 months. A bid of 800k should be what we should offer, and if that aint enough then I think we should move on and look for someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 is it just me or is anyone else concerned that our strike force next season could all be left footed (taking brooker out the equasion)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
