simon uk Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 If dack signs, he had better hit the groubd running, we need him to be running our midfield against teams like derby and burnley, and there arent any guarantees he can do that.

Lrrr Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 There's also the factor of how small our squad is and that it can work in his favour, he'd near enough be guaranteed games for the rest of the season to prove himself at the level, he could try and get a relegation release clause so if we went down he could easily return to the championship, you'd expect someone would take the punt.

He'll double them in June/July regardless, he's done enough to guarantee a Championship move. If he signs for us, he could well find himself back in League 1. If I remove my City rose tinted glasses, I wouldn't move if I was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just regurgitates stories from other areas in the media in the hope that they come off. Anyway, I'm still trying to think of a reason as to why Dack would leave a team in the middle of a Promotion battle with a highly rated young manager for a team in a relegation battle without a manager. He'd have to be mental. Even if Gillingham don't go up he's virtually guaranteed to get a Championship move in the summer. Understand the point, but for me the reason is the same as why players sign for Burnley over us. Right now, they are a bigger club than us. We are a bigger club than the Gills. There. I have said it.

If we get the bid accepted, he'll come here - if theres no tangible competition of course. Still a risk as its a step up.. It didn't, I think thats a given - doubling his wages. I just don't see us as that attractive a proposition in our current position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he got crocked in April? We put an offer in front of him to double his wages, that is time-expired, I can assure you that kind of offer will focus his mind. Any lingering doubts he may have will soon evaporate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he performs well for us and we are still relegated he can stay in the championship and we can make a nice little profit. If he doesn't perform well and no one else wants him on the summer we know we have a good league 1 player of that is the league we are in. Cant see why this one wouldn't work?

Chivs Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Is he any good? I must have seen Gillingham 6 times (OK, I exaggerate) last season and I can't recall any of their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big spenders in this league will go for players with proven Championship, if not premier league experience. We need to take a risk, and Bristol City is exactly the sort of team he will end up with next. Our position does however make it just that little bit more difficult, I agree.

Cracking free kick on him and loads of creativity with the ball. Definitely worth taking the chance on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find it difficult to understand how a player can make a decision to move to a new club, not knowing who the boss is, whether he'd likely be played, played to his strengths, whether he got on with the boss. Too many questions unless it's the money that counts in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think people over estimate what players look for. He won't particularly care what league he's in. He won't care who his manager is, his only concern will be £££ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
