Langford Red Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Anybody heard of any reason why Bobby is not signing a new contract? I think City have been very loyal to him, and I hear Middlesborough and other Championship teams are already talking behind Citys back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Not heard that, but if true, might be you have answered your own question. Have half a memory we have a one year option anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 This is a worrying development, but his agent must feel that his value has gone up and will be looking for the best deal he can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always assumed if you had an option, you could just exercise it. Will not keep him here I suppose, but useful in screwing more out of any offer.

Major Isewater Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 There is a whisper that the local lads don't get the same rate as the exotic signings . This shouldn't be the case but could be a reason why . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Aren`t we all missing the obvious? See who the OP is and look at his posting history.

mozo Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 He is verging on Premiership quality and regardless of one year option needs to be signed on a long term deal. Which his agent knows.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 As I understand it, the player and the club agree the terms of the additional year option at the start of the contract, and it is the club’s decision to offer those terms or not, when the time comes around. In Reid’s case, you’d think the club wouldn’t be showing much goodwill if they just went and offered the terms of the additional year. Reid might rightly think he is worth more and might just see out that additional year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you notice as well it`s usually after a decent result - he ******* hates any positivity about the club. Check out the bollocks Matty Taylor, how he REALLY got his injury bullshit he was spouting a month or two back along with making up stories about players on the piss the day before games and all the other crap he`s posted over the years.

Bar BS3 Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 If Bobby won’t sign a contract then there is little that we can do about it. He’s still got a year and a half here anyway, so it hardly urgent. If he’d have left 6 months ago, we’d probably have done well to get £500k. Now we’d probably get at least £5million!

Offered very little in comparison as they are grateful for the opportunity... once other teams start sniffing around though you have to start paying the going rate...

The Coach Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Although I thought Bobby had a quiet game yesterday. In the second half he showed glimpses of PL movement and skill. He's definitely on the right path, and looking more and more like a natural striker each game. Big congratulations to him on his work so far this season.
