Fordy62 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 @seantaylorpress: I'm told Rotherham have rejected a bid from #BristolCity for Kieran Agard. I understand the offer not far from #rufc valuation though From a press officer in midlands/Yorkshire This excites me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 We must be offering a fair bit! Rotherham fans believe Agard is worth 3 million... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I thought this may have been just agent talk but that reporter looks fairly reliable. I cannot see us signing him without Baldock leaving, in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see us signing him without Baldock leaving, in all honesty. I hope it's JET. I know the guy has class but we looked so much better without him in the second half at Cheltenham! I sincerely hope it's not Baldock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobby Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 If we sign him it will be to add a new element to our attacking options rather than a player leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobby Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Surely somebody would be off though?! My guess he'd probably cost around 500k to 1 million, and the reality is that we currently on have 2 out and out strikers as JET is more of an attacking option, another out and out striker is needed, and Agard fits the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargent Pepper Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 West Midlands papers are reporting Wolves are interested apparently. I think we need 4 1st team strikers as I think we will see a 433 at times which from what I know would suit Agard down to the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 The transfer fee won't be an issue. I think it's clear if Cotts wants him Lansdown will back him with the funds. Wages wise I imagine we can blow Rotherham out the water but if a Leeds or Wolves come in then its game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 16 mins ago - @seantaylorpress: Some Wolves fans ask about Agard. I believe he's on #wwfc list of options [see previous Tweets] but understand #BristolCity only club to bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 If Wolves wanted to fork out 600k they could easily. When they start bidding we will see ourselves out of the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 It won't be a case of money if Wolves come in as they are a much bigger club going in the right direction, unlike Leeds who seem to be imploding. How many strikers have Wolves got though ? He'd get more football here i'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Do Wolves want/need him? They've already signed two wingers, and haven't lost any of their pretty potent strike force from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Manns Left Foot NG7 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I am also very intrigued/excited by this speculation. Especially so since Cott's failed to dismiss the rumours. Suggests to me we are indeed in the hunt... ..but like many on here I fear would signal the departure of Baldock or Jet (no!) ..BUT IF Kieran does become an addition to our current squad then can someone please remind me the principles of Financial Fair Play - how on earth can we assemble such a squad and still be within the rules? Were Fonts, Marv et all really on the sum of the salaries similar to our recent and potential acquisitions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were Fonts, Marv et all really on the sum of the salaries similar to our recent and potential acquisitions? Bear in mind the huge turnover we've had in the last couple of seasons. Bobby Reid is the longest serving member of the club(!). Think of the sheer number of players that have left since we were relegated and the kind of wages they would have been on. Heaton, Pearson, Elliott, Kelly, Stead, Carey, Fontaine, Nyatanga, Skuse, Kilkenny, Anderson, Adomah, Davies...to name a few. When you look at the kind of players we've signed....Ayling, Freeman, Pack, Smith, (potentially) Agard, Flint, Osborne....most signed from relatively small clubs, all probably on a good wedge lower than our average wage from a while ago. I'd be surprised if you couldn't cover the wages of the 7 players above just out of Davies, Fontaine and Elliott's wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
