Charliesboots Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Good luck to both, enjoyed the double winning season that they contributed to beyond any other. Another new signing due?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Good luck to both of them, a big part of one of my most enjoyable seasons in forty years of watching City. Both of you will always get a round of applause from me when and if you return to AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it @Kid in the Riot who had heard whispers of 'big' money being spent on another striker? 2+2 and all that Also - undisclosed fees. Presume there is a business reason for not releasing, but is it as simple as not wanting anyone to know what you've spent / received in terms of silly prices being quoted when you come to spend it?? Correct on undisclosed fees. Could be either the buying or selling club or both insisting it's undisclosed. Yes, put it like this....if what I heard was in any way accurate then I wouldn't be surprised if we break our transfer record again this summer - on a forward.

JM91 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Losing Luke Ayling feels a bit like selling Greg Cunningham did last season. Think it's a bit short sighted to let him go, and that it doesn't make sense to let go some of our youngest and most versatile squad players.

robin_unreliant Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Seems slightly odd Ayling has gone while LJ is making comments about Matthews not being fit yet. I guess the club may have felt that delaying a couple of weeks wasn't worth the risk of losing the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference last year was that we had a thread bare squad, made worse by Cunningham going. There is a strong chance that Ayling and Agard both leaving is tied in with players that we will be bringing in ( hopefully!!) LJ certainly seems too have his transfer ducks more in a row than did SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I agree with the general sentiment on here amongst others; both were very valuable contributors to our successful double season. Agard with his goals and Ayling with his defending and thrusting runs. I believe we will think we will miss Ayling more than Agard and if we were in League 1 I think we would be right. However, we are building and not all players will fit the mould of where LJ wants to take us. I thought Ayling impacted the game on Saturday and when I watch the highlights he was very much involved. We must have better players either in the squad or coming in so thinks our boss. I have to say that if these rumours of 750k-1m is correct for Agard then that is simply fabulous business. All said and done, thanks for your service guys and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thatwasclose Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Wilbraham turns 37 in Oct yet it's Agard whose 10+ years younger is out first before him? Really building for the future there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsRed Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 The fact our championship 'rivals' are buying our second choice right back (in my opinion) to strengthen their starting XI's is only a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSN Red Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I would be expecting us to be bringing a right sided centre back as back up to Flint who could also provide additional cover at right back if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Moore is perfect for that, can play CB/RB and is fairly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really building for the future there! Wilbraham used clauses in his contract to trigger extensions, and we wouldn't be selling him at his age as no clubs would be looking to buy a 36-37 year old striker. Agard has been seen as not championship standard by 3 managers now, and we were able to get a reasonable fee for him. Honestly no idea why you're trying to make this an issue.

BarmyArmy Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Mariappa would be an improvement on Ayling. The replacement for Agard is more tricky. Not many strikers would sign for a Championship side knowing they will have very limited game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Have to thank both of them, especially Ayling during the promotion season a rock and a key reason why we went up, fantastic going forward and still think he should have been moved to a central defensive midfield role.

Citychuds Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm not surprised by Agard leaving, he just wasn't good enough. I think most of us realise this (other than a chap I sat in front of in the south stand one Saturday who spent 60 minutes saying 'that French tw*t shouldn't be playing bring on Agard, brilliant player that Agard') I'm surprised by Ayling though I thought he would be good back up for the team. That said we do have to take into account we have to balance the books. Financial fair play rules mean if we get an offer for a backup player higher than we can replace an equivalent for, then we sell I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason is MA gets 20% of the value of every deal both in and out out of the club. That more interesting? Shame about Ayling but Agard's future was always away from the club. Good pros, good servants. Good luck lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
