Pezo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 As some who said something along the lines of "he will never cut it at this level" im very happy to be proved sooooooo wrong. What a footballer the amount of running a space creation he does for himself and the team is incredible. Constantly looking to either challenge a defender with the ball at his feet, give and go or hunt a defender down when not in possession. He must be such a difficult player to defend against because he has a variety of skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Bobby Reid is the most skilful player I have seen in a City shirt in my lifetime and I include Jacki in that assessment. The close control, the instinct, the comfort on the ball, the ability to create possession and a brilliant pass out of a 50-50 ball or lost cause, and the awareness of players around him, I honestly haven't seen anything like it at this level, and certainly not for City. A lot of it doesn't deliver anything which is why no one else in this league really takes him seriously as one of the top players of the division, but for personal ability alone, in my opinion he is up there with anyone, and I'll be fascinated to see how other professional footballers vote in the PFA team.

Cidre Monita Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 He always had ability, but suffered with bad decision making, it held him back. He has found his role (well one LJ) and with playing consistently has just got better and better and is now far ahead of the crowd, he looks like he should be a league above. I would think it will be hard to tie him down to a new contract unless it is a substantial one. Summer 2019 he is a free agent (though I guess that development fee thingy still is around) and so will save someone the millions it would cost to buy him now. He has to maximise his situation, and no one should begrudge him that. Pay him what we did Tomlin, and he is worth it, and he might sign on again.

That's deluded.

I agree with all your comments around him, I just don't think any Prem team will take a punt on him yet (not established enough, 1 good breakthrough season as a striker), and I don't think any Championship team will be willing to pay near 15m for him.

I don’t see any of our players being ‘stand outs’, enough so that they could perform consistently in The Premier League but was it 2 years ago that Villa seemingly overpaid for Kodjia & Hogan? They wanted to take players that had done it at this level & while the transfer fees were big for us & Brentford, the wages in comparison to getting someone for the same fee from The Premier League were probably considerably less. And Villa aren’t the only club to of thrown big money at individual deals, Sheffield Wednesday paid £10m for Rhodes, Middlesbrough spent £15m or so on Assombalonga & Wolves have numerous large fees. Now fair enough Wolves will probably be up & Villa could join them but that still leaves plenty of money in The Championship & with the clubs to come down who are likely to have years of Premier League money, the likes of Southampton, Stoke & West Brom could all in affect be looking for new players with a healthy transfer budget available to them. And while I know that we won’t sell to Championship rivals, that’s exactly where Villa were when they purchased Kodjia & if the money is right, we’ll sell.

Believe we have a year option this summer to tie him until summer 2019. The terms of that extension were set during the contract negotiation and subsequent deal in summer 2016. You would imagine that the terms are not hugely in Bobby’s favour, he wasn’t holding the aces back then. The non-businessman in me would like to think that City won’t exercise that option... ....because they appreciate Bobby’s 1) loyalty 2) his outstanding performances this season and 3) his value to the team going forward. He deserves a very decent deal. Often ‘young’ players produced locally suffer on contracts deals. Re compensation - that is only up to 24, so I think "young" Bobby is too old.

Fair play, after 6 months of playing brilliantly (and 7 years of struggling to break into the team), we've established that Reid is definitely a better player than Jordan Rhodes. Reid has been a revelation this season and for me he's the first name on the team sheet at the moment for sure. He's been brilliant for 6 months.

I guess it all comes down to how highly rated a player is & Reid is clearly highly rated within the game, every time we’re on Sky, Reid & Flint are the ones that special praise is saved for & let’s not forget, for such a diminutive player, he has led the line for us on his own for a large majority of the season, normally a role reserved for a bigger striker like Diedhiou or Djuric. Reid can also play various roles, up front as a one, as a two or behind the striker as a #10 & you never hear of any petulance from him or a lack of will to work for the team yet he’s still bagged 16 goals in his first season as a striker. And on top of that, he’s still learning & willing to learn so there is huge potential for him to improve even further. EDIT: Rhodes Sheffield Wednesday stats are 7 goals in 40+ league appearances since he first joined Wednesday, that’s including his loan spell where you would of thought he impressed having convinced Wednesday to part with £10m or so a couple of years ago.

I guess what I'm trying to say - A players worth/value is determined by how much the paying club are willing to pay. I do not think that any club at this stage will be prepared to spend 15 million on Reid (or 10 for that matter.) I may be wrong, I may be right - that remains to be seen, but that's my view. Like everybody else, I have no idea what offers we may receive/accept/decline but I refuse to accept statements such as "Reid will definitely go in excess of 15m" as fact.

I do not think that any club at this stage will be prepared to spend 15 million on Reid (or 10 for that matter.) I may be wrong, I may be right - that remains to be seen, but that's my view. Like everybody else, I have no idea what offers we may receive/accept/decline but I refuse to accept statements such as "Reid will definitely go in excess of 15m" as fact. Fully understand that & you’re right about it depends on what a team is willing to pay. The thing being is that a striker is the money player, if a club are unhappy with their current strikers, they will look for better but as I’ve said, financially we don’t have to do any competitors any favours. As with Kodjia 18 months ago & Flint last summer, if someone wants our players, put up or shut up, we’re no longer a struggling team (performance wise or financial wise), we’re not having to cover debts (to an extent) & given the choice, I’m sure the club would say that the club are much better off keeping hold of Reid rather than banking £10m or so. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think any of our players will go on to play for England or a top nation but for a player to do that they are now valued at £50m+ because the market & the money in the game is so ridiculous & we’re in a position to take advantage of that, mainly because of SL’s wealth & our need to not have to worry so much about the finances but on the same level, we’re unlikely to be looking at spending £10m+ on any single player until we reach The Premier League. It’s the philosophy of the club now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's unbelievable to think that when Bobby Reid was on loan at Plymouth, many of us thought he wouldn't cut it in League 1 let alone the Championship. If we had let him go cheaply, what a shame that would have been. I'm starting to sound like a stuck record but when we lose a game or two, it's worth remembering that the first team coach and his assistants who will be blamed for the defeat(s) are also the same people who have identified and developed the incredible talent that Bobby Reid has. They have given him the platform to dazzle us with his skill. Credit to LJ, DH and JMcA for their coaching and player development. There were moments during the Fulham game when Bobby showed skill that you don't see in the Premier League. His vision and speed of thought were on a whole different level. And the guy never stopped running. Bobby, I applaud you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compared any of the previous 7 seasons, Rhodes may actually surpass Reid in passing & assists, considering he actually played consistently. Fair play, after 6 months of playing brilliantly (and 7 years of struggling to break into the team), we've established that Reid is definitely a better player than Jordan Rhodes. Reid has been a revelation this season and for me he's the first name on the team sheet at the moment for sure. He's been brilliant for 6 months. Earlier in the season it was Bryan/Flint/Baker & Smith and now it's Reid who's suddenly worth 15m. Not strange at all. The point is Bobby Reid is a much better footballer than Jordan Rhodes. Really simple if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is only true when a club wants to sell. If a club does not want to sell then the player's value is determined by how much the selling club are willing to accept. For what it's worth, I think other clubs would consider it a gamble to spend £10 million + on Reid after one good season but I think we would be fools to accept less than £15 million at this stage. For this reason, I do not believe he is likely to go in the summer. But as it stands Bristol City, rather than buying clubs, will determine what his value is...

What a footballer the amount of running a space creation he does for himself and the team is incredible. Constantly looking to either challenge a defender with the ball at his feet, give and go or hunt a defender down when not in possession. He must be such a difficult player to defend against because he has a variety of skills. Massive credit must go to LJ and the coaches.............who would have thought a year or so ago.....what he has achieved. Well done to the best Bobby, since a certain Super Bobby Taylor.

Fiale Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 How much would it cost to replace him, could we even find a player able to do his current role ? That alone puts his price tag for us probably well over what others would be willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
