havanatopia Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well done Louis and City. Good to have him for another year and preferable to Fonts or Tangs in my humble opinion even if a full 90 minutes would probably knacker him for good.

bemmyredjeff Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 This. Don't worry though we will have the same old people on here constantly moaning until they are blue in the face trying to convince others of their opinions. One Louis Carey. Too bloody right and on the day that I've just renewed my bloody season ticket ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Carey's been a great servant, but to me (like last season) this is a waste of money. Be interesting to find out in the fullness of time whether this is what SOD wanted or evidence that the board are still sticking their oar in.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Carey's been a great servant, but to me (like last season) this is a waste of money. Be interesting to find out in the fullness of time whether this is what SOD wanted or evidence that the board are still sticking their oar in. What kind of money do you suspect he is on? I'd suspect he's at the stage now where he is all but playing for free just to stay at the club. If you were set for life, and 3 games off the app record for the club you've spent all of your career bar 6 months at, would you play for £1 a week because you love the game. I would. I know it wont be £1, obviously not, but he wont be on any kind of money really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynriley Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Pay as you play deal, so possibly around 3-4 k per match I guess? About 25% of that I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tins Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 About 25% of that I reckon. You reckon only 1k per match? 1k per week would be more believable, but seeing as it's pay as you play I bet it would be higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Good for you Louis, your experience is badly needed, this div70% are bread and butter players and dont like flair players. Worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tins Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Is that definite? I've heard quite a lot say that is what he was on last year, so wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Is that definite? The possibility of pay as you play was mentioned on here once as a possibility before the beginning of last season by a forum member and seemingly regurgitated so often since that it's gradually been accepted by many as fact. It's not fact at all as far as I'm aware, and it's certainly not what I've heard. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I guess I'm going against the grain here, but I would like to see how Bristol City does without him. I like this clean sweep the defence has got. I know he won't feature much, granted he did well when he was called on last season, at least as good as most of the others anyway. His fitness is a concern, but if he is happy to be back up then I suppose at least it's the devil you know. I trust SoD's judgement, but I do wonder what Carey will do when he eventually leaves us. I reckon he needs the club more than we need him and so he must be delighted he has another years security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoPal Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Ex Reds, Murray, Carey & Tinnion have now become the beating heart and soul of this club within and out of the dressing room. It is clearly the best way forward, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still our best centre half by a country mile ( not saying much i know....) if we could have had a couple like him at the back instead of pinky and perky all bloody season i don't think we would be looking at Bradford first up.

collier Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Considering all the uproar over ffp I dont see how people are overly happy with this. Fair enough he is nearing the record but his injury record has slowly been getting worse season by season. He didnt overly contribute last season and I see no evidence that he will be available to make much of a difference this one either. We have been banging on about changing the mentality of the club and seem to have been going in the right direction. If Carey had received a better offer elsewhere he would have taken it and gone just like every other footballer generally does. Consider how long he has played for the club and then work out if he really is going to be on a pittance this season?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
