Bar BS3 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I agree with you that Newcastle would have to be the strong favourites if they were interested BUT it's not all clear-cut. Part of it will come to how much he will play, how much he feels he's wanted, how good a feeling he gets about the club during talks, whether his agent think it's better for him in the long-run to excel in a small pond for a season or to compete in a bigger one. I agree that it's hard for us to compete against Newcastle but not absolutely impossible... If, as I believe to be the case, we have had an offer accepted by Man Utd and discussed terms with the player, he would be a bit daft not to look at his other options to compare before deciding his next career move. We can only hope that being a big fish in a small pond and playing every week, whilst becoming a millionaire is preferable to him to being a bit part squad player in a big pond at an unstable club, under a manager who didn't play him as much as he could have done at a lower level last season.

Even by mentioning Newcastle the against then alerts other clubs, I'd bet by the end of the day there will be at least two other clubs financially better positioned than us to compete for his signature. The deal is dead in the water, unless the player has his heart set on coming to us, it's sad but a fact of modern life, especially in football that money talks.

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm pretty sure we've made it very public that we won't be held at ransom, spending willy billy, so Billionaire status is irrelevant. Not if you're selling and want the best price for a player. I suspect anyone selling anything which a billionaire really wants is not going to discount that fact just because said billionaire says " I'm not paying over the odds" - particularly if there are more buyers than sellers. SL will most likely stick with his strategy but that won't stop a selling club asking a premium. In any case, your point was about showing our hand- we have- we want to buy real quality. Good. Let's hope we eventually do so at this level like we did in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southvillekiddy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Been reading this thread with interest obviously due to calibre of player and being just as excited by the prospect of an England U21 international joining from Man Utd for a club record fee! From what I can tell there has definitely been talk between the clubs/players and whilst many may say there are other bigger clubs, perhaps he has come to a stage in his career that he wants to join a club who play in a manner that suits him and a team where he can play weekly and improve. We do look an attractive club to join currently and iv no doubt that Cotterill/Burt/Lansdwon will speak very well on behalf of the club - so maybe its not over yet.... Keep on dreaming Lads! Its happened with other signings like James and more recently Freeman so why not again?! I agree mate. Maybe this player has the imagination to see what is happening at Bristol City and go for us rather than agree with the tired old myth that if you go to Newcastle you are joining a Club that has significance in the Premiership. They have done nothing for 30 old years, scraping avoiding relegation each year in recent times. Newcastle are truly unfashionable. They have to sign expensive foreign players who seem to never gel as a team. Maybe, just maybe, a trip to Ashton Gate to see the set-up and meet our excellent Management team and owner and of course meet a group of footballers who play for one another, might just persuade him.

The casual follower will have us down as relegation fodder in the same way most people would have had Bournemouth and Brentford down as relegation fodder and for Wigan to do quite well. However, I would hope someone who works within football and is considering the next career move for themselves or their client would do some due diligence on whoever has bid for them.

bs16bcfc Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm not saying City are/were not interested nor that they haven't even made/had accepted a bid. I am simply questioning/doubting that it is a 'done deal'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murraysrightplum Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I have read it. a) Most people outside Bristol with any interest in football will know us, in the same way that you and I know Dundee, Luton Town, Carlisle Utd and Brentford. b) No they won't care about us in the same way you & I don't care about Dundee, Luton Town, Carlisle Utd and Brentford. The casual follower will have us down as relegation fodder in the same way most people would have had Bournemouth and Brentford down as relegation fodder and for Wigan to do quite well. However, I would hope someone who works within football and is considering the next career move for themselves or their client would do some due diligence on whoever has bid for them. How the average Joe sees City is a bit irrelevant really. Maybe he has the confidence in his own ability that he would start for Newcastle? Young Footballer in self confidence, ignorance shocker? The agent, well he will go to the highest bidder and not give two shits about the best interests of the player. Premier league = $$$$ Yes there are exceptions but in general I'm right sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingLear Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Probably not the correct thread for this discussion; however, I thought I would offer up my thoughts regarding the opinion of Bristol City throughout the rest of the country. Having served in the forces for coming up to 6 years now I have had the experience of being based at various locations throughout the UK. Whenever the subject of football came up and I would be asked who I supported, I of course said City's name with pride, this was and has been generally met with scoffs of laughter and the question of 'what league are they in then?' bearing in mind these comments were even made during 07/08 when we were challenging for the prem. Another example when recently discussing potential signings for us and more specifically Joey Barton, the question was asked of me 'why would he want to go to Bristol? Surely there are better teams in the Championship that he can go to?' I of course defend our club's name with honour in any football related conversation (argument) but being an exiled fan you do start to understand the thinking behind fans of these so called 'bigger' clubs fans and their apparent right to sign anyone and everyone they so wish. I guess the point that I am trying to make is that if this is the opinion of (some) of the other teams fans towards us, it doesn't bode well when trying to sign a player when he have competition from some 'bigger' names.

Murraysrightplum Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Play for Newcastle or Bristol City does that include sitting on the bench?? My point is exactly that, he might also be linked to Newcastle but surely playing football is the lads priority!! He probably thinks he's quite good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs16bcfc Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 so your "source" is still saying it's a done deal?! Mate. I have the text which I have showed to some members on here saying he's signed. I said I've been told it's a done deal. If that appears not to be the case then I've been told duff info however nobody has died as a result of this I have given info to the forum which I rarely do that I am informed is correct. If no body did this then you would have nothing to talk about. Even my mates who have seen the texts have talked about Newcastle What I don't appreciate is people that only contribute abuse and negativity and question my integrity Remember you do not make yourself look good by trying to make someone else look bad.
