Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 left wing back is the one position I'm confident in the understudy, Cunningham. That said Joe has been great for us this season and would need several million to tempt us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 According to the Daily Mirror this morning Everton are considering a bid. Should we resist at all costs? No team in our league can say 'at all costs'. If we got a very tidy sum for him, then it's a case of seeing that wisely reinvested in the squad.

simon uk Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 No, if the price is right we should sell, we have a good replacement, and the money can be reinvested, also, you couldnt refuse to allow a lower league player that opportunity. There is the caveat though that this is tabloid bs, and is 1 of 50 transfer predictions made this week to fill up space in their crap paper.

P'head Red Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm very confident Greg could step up if required, but it would be such a shame to lose Joe Bryan, a brilliant future ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 As others have stated, luckily we have Cunningham for back up who on his day is every bit as good as Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK0wnag3 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 As disappointed as I'd be in selling him, isn't that part of the point of the academy... To develop players and eventually move them for a profit... With the quality of Cunningham, I think the multiple millions (we should accept no less, IMO) would be of more use (marginally) than the production he provides in the team.

Red Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 A few million and a loan period to the end of season, need him as cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Take a few mil (January + potential) and get a loan back till end of season, maybe even if we get promoted a clause for him coming back on loan again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Like the lad, and he's been a big part of our good form, but we have a full international behind him in the pecking order, and at our level, several million could go a long way to strengthening the team, either now or in the summer. And as good as it might be to have him back on loan, am I the only one thinking we'd be better off replacing him and learning to live without him? Don't want to become reliant on a player you know you'll not have long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting him back on loan would allow us to scout for the 2nd half of the season and give us the summer window to buy rather than having to do it in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Don't get me wrong; hope we don't lose him at all, and hope he's well advised, and realises that completing the season here and actually achieving something may very well improve his options and career more than jumping two divisions at the first opportunity. And he's a great player that we'd miss, for sure, so understand if the option to get him back came up, we might take it. Just confident Cunningham could do a job in Bryan's place.

Dolmanator Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Am I the only one who doesn't understand why everton want him? Unless they see him as a left winger I can't see them signing him. Baines will be number one for a few more years, they have Oviedo, and Garbutt, who is the same age as Bryan has just made an appearance for the first team.

BCFC Jordan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 If it's a silly amount offered, we'd be best off accepting and getting him back on loan until the end of the season. Joe is integral to our current style of play. Any chance of a swap with Luke Garbutt? He has looked a neat player when I've seen him play recently.

BRISTOL86 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Are Baines and Joe Bryan seriously being mentioned in the same conversation?! Don't get me wrong I like the lad and he will have a decent future but think some are getting ahead of themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 If baines is around for a couple of years and true they do want Bryan then either Bryan will be loaned to the point he's either good enough or sold. Or other option being back up and understudy to baines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 IF this is true then SC will already know all about it and you can bet that our management team/SL will be making provisions. It would be very satisfying for SL to see an Academy player come through the ranks and be sold for big money so soon after joining the first team. Unlike so many of our rivals- we don't need the money so it would go straight back into the transfer budget. Luke Freeman isn't the only truly quality player in L1& 2 who we can get.

Don't get me wrong I like the lad and he will have a decent future but think some are getting ahead of themselves! They were mentioned in the same convo because Bryan has been linked with Everton and Baines is there current Lb. Don't think anyone said Bryan was the near the same level as Baines... My post was more about the fact they have 21 yo Lb who has just made a first team appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerox6060 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 I think Cunningham is decent but he's not in the same class as Joe, to me he's a massive part of our team and I dont want him to leave. I do accept that if a big club comes a calling than a player would want to discuss it. I'd like to see him stay take us up and just see where we go next year as once a teams on a roll things can happen as we know, especially with a multi billion pound owner ....

screech Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 How long has Joe got left on his contract? He's just established himself in the first team this season and maybe his agent is thinking, Joe you need a pay rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
