Crimson Crayola Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 As the title suggests. If you had a bet on our striker being the top goal scorer would you settle now or wait? Do you think Johnson will be sympathetic to Reid’s challenge for the golden boot or will he tinker, with the intention of blooding others now that we have less to play for?

richwwtk Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Forest will see a full strength side (whatever that is, but it certainly includes Bobby Reid). Whilst there is still a mathematical possibility of the play-offs then there is no choice but to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing Bobby is fit, LJ really has no choice but to play him at Forest - for the reason stated by @richwwtk above. Regardless of what happens at Forest and in the other games in the division, it's odds-on that he will play in our last game of the season, too, having being our stand-out player all year. Plus, it could be his last game for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 'everything to play for-in honesty I can't see it,but win both and it could just,just be enough...Forest are beatable so we go for it.. 5-5 anyone!!

Mr Popodopolous Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Would say Brentford most likely with form, run-ins etc to capitalise on any slips- thought it for a few weeks too. Don't see us being there, not after Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolman Block B Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Out of interest, how much does everyone on here think Bobby Reid is worth and what the club would let him go for?

Seeing hes out of contract in the near future i reckon the club would except 3 million I genuinely think the 1 year extension makes people think we’ll sell on the cheap. I don’t. £10m+ to allow a club to speak to Bobby. Is he worth that? Probably not, but he’s not out of contract, so the ball in other team’s court to make a good offer. £10m for a Prem club is nothing (rediculous but probably true). Should Bobby hand in a transfer request, well, that’s a different matter....then you probably are talking £2-5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Pack and Bryan. Sadly can see them all going. The problem we then have is if the club are reliant on Ashton bringing in Players we are in deep shite!

I thought he was the money man, not involved in actually picking the players? Yes he may say 'we can't afford him' but I was under the impression we used a team of analysts and scouts to pick them, with LJ having the final say. If so I really am not sure why MA gets any blame. SL probably sets the wage budget so in reality his scope to affect it could be limited. We seem to have got better money when selling - which I suspect IS part of his job.

No. Ashton is responsible for all football matters. He’s the man in charge of the whole recruitment system / philosophy. He’s in charge of the scouts, the analysts, player identification, the contract negotiations etc etc. If we’re not picking up good players, it’s on his watch. LJ is the head coach. He is responsible for what happens ON the pitch. His job is to coach and improve the players brought in under Ashton’s system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 To the original post it depends on an offer and the size of the offer. Young Bobby is our player for another year but if the contract extension is not signed then we have a Maynard situation again if a club puts a bid upward of 7 mil or we get a bidding war BR is likely gone. The issue is was this a one season wonder. I think not, but that will play into a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHIPLEY RED Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I am optimistic about keeping Reid, Pack, Flint, Bryan, Paterson etc. Yes we may lose 1 or 2 of our first team but the dooms day scenario that some talk about (all leaving) I don't think will happen.The club showed last year with Flint they were not prepared to sell our best players. I also look back to January when all the above were playing out of their skins with lots of TV coverage but I'm not aware that we had any bids for our players. Realistically it would need to be a Prem club as we are a top 10 championship club and I'm not sure they are that interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Bobby gets a nice pay rise, plus then we get good money for him if a team bid the minimum fee. If a prem club think he can improve their attack, then they would surely be willing to pay well over 10 million for him. I like the sound of that, but I wonder if Bobby and his agent don’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Be such a shame to lose him , personally I don’t get the need to move if a decent offer to him is made by city ,, been here since he was kid owes his career to city snd the faith shown in him ,and is Bristol born and bred .. hate the fact that nearly all players chase even more money and prioritise that over so many other factors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
