reddogkev Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Just wondered if any other Championship (or higher) clubs are sniffing around after our players. I damn well hope not, but you see I'm having the occasional hour of disturbed sleep worrying about someone going after Freeman, Bryan, Flinty, Fielding etc. Is anyone in the market for our talent, or am I fretting over nothing?

I'll be absolutely amazed if we don't have to fend off a bid or 3 by the end of August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'll be absolutely amazed if we don't have to fend off a bid or 3 by the end of August. This is what I fear. For me, Freeman is the player I'm worried about the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 They are all for sale if he price is right just part of the game, It's who we replace them with that's important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ten minutes of rough Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Part and parcel of football, as much as I would like to see our better players stay, if they don't, well we can just go out and buy even better. This club at last seems to be able to achieve that, no good thinking we have the best, we seldom don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 It all seems quiet at the moment but I'm sure if any of them hit the ground running next season the bids will start flying in. We'll just have to make sure we have a replacement lined up before we sell, like the Agard/Boldock situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm surprised that there haven't been any press stories yet. And pleased. A lot of these stories are agents' talk to try to engineer a move. So either they're all perfectly happy here or they all have very responsible and above-board agents. Or both. Which is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hopefully. Ideally we want our best players to stay but it's always a good sign if other teams want them too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 There's more than one reason why we've extended Flint's contract And same applies to others, as mentioned, we're looking to extend other players' contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 This all sounds good so far, no one's heard of any transfer rumours, I can sleep easy for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 There's more than one reason why we've extended Flint's contract And same applies to others, as mentioned, we're looking to extend other players' contracts. Exactly. Extending good players contracts adds value. With our current squad you would want most on at least a two year deal. Freeman et al are bound to attract interest but City sit in a position where the leverage on Price for those players is high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 100% our players are for sale, isn't that one of our aims moving forward? That we sign players we can develop and sell for a profit rather than signing dogsh## has verbs who bleed is dry? I'm just chuffed to bits we have a team worth something... How much value is in James, Cunningham, Wilson, Fontaine, McManus, Foster, Pearson, Skuse, Kelly, Davies, Anderson?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJH Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Apart from Barcelona's interest in Freeman - it's all been rather quiet regarding outgoings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the players are actually showing appreciation to the club by inflating their asking price if they were to leave. Yes, they'll be on more money, but that's part and parcel with the fact they're also now worth more. Like Flint, if the likes of Freeman signs a 2/3 extension and leaves in the next couple of transfer windows, he's pretty much helped us out financially! All makes sense to keep your best players (attitude pending) on longer contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 I don't see why we should attract any bids for any of our players, after all it was our owners wealth that got us promoted. Having said that, I do believe that it was a collective effort from the team and there were no real stand out stars taking the headlines match after match, everyone did their bit and everyone hit the headlines.

LondonBristolian Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm sure we, like any club doing well, get bids and enquiries. I think it speaks volumes about both the club and the morale of the dressing room that rumours rarely really seem to emerge about it. It shows integrity that the club doesn't use the press to unsettle players or spark bidding wars, players and their agents don't use the press to pressure the club into selling them and nobody at the club seems to feel the need to break ranks and start anonymously mouthing off about internal business matters. I think it's a sign of what a well-run professional club we've become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Just hope the likes of Bryan, Alying, Smith & Freeman look at Flint signing a new deal & perhaps consider that a show of faith in how we are looking to progress, & join in. Tie those key core players down, add a few (not too many, but a handful) of decent looking additions & you'd hope that momentum, positivity & togetherness that served us so we'll is maintained.
