If you’re reading this JL and Co, and it’s not already abundantly clear - our bitter rivals have had our pants down because of OUR failings. That is not something to be proud of. The subliminal message they want us to get is pathway, pathway, pathway. We aren’t ******* stupid, we know this, now show us the plan for spending £20m+ after losing 3/4 first teamers and a couple of squad players so we don’t crash & burn like last season.

AberRed Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 It's really gutting to see him move to Cardiff, and I won't pretend that picture of him is easy to look at. But... 1 year left on his contract Won't be playing against us next season (at least not in the league) £10 million is a lot for a player people were suggesting we get rid of last summer. The big question for me is whether we have the recruitment to find a replacement. Oh, and the Ayatollah... his face genuinely looks like someone off-camera is aiming a gun at him.

RUSSEL85 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I want Bob to do well but I dont too, maybe he can score 38 goals in the Prem next season but each goal a consolation in a 6-1 battering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me they have wasted 10m on a player who won't cut it in the prem and will be loaned out at some stage in the future (prob next season). Putting aside the financial - They’ve taken our ‘one of our own’ top scorer from us a few weeks before the season starts. They’ve had our pants down.

I expect so Red. But being a City boy you’d have thought he would say no to that. Hardly would’ve been a deal breaker. Ah well, just gutted to see it, seems an extra little kick in the knackers!

BS4 on Tour... Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 12 hours ago, Cowshed said: So they play vertically? Which essentially is getting the ball forward into the opposition half as quickly as possible using the least amount of passes and hitting Zohore frequently with long balls. Cardiff out balls was hitting the centre forward not feet. Cardiff played the least amount of accurate passes in the championship, they had the worst passing accuracy and passed the ball less than anybody. Only Barnsley had a higher % of long balls played, but Barnsley did pass the ball more. It might not be whoosh, but it was certainly whooshy. Where are you getting these stats from? The site I kept an eye on showed that only Ipswich and Burton played more long balls per game than Bristol City throughout the whole of last season in the championship - it said on average we played 11 more long balls per game than Cardiff....not saying that source is 100% correct, but it’s a site that covers stats for the whole of Europe and international tournaments etc...

Jacki Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 I’m struggling to remember an outgoing transfer that’s pissed me off more than this one. Thet grovelling video makes out he’s moving to a Premier League giant.... how depressing it is that we’ve fallen so far behind Cardiff in just a matter of months. And all that nonsense about loving the club, on the same day that he’s doing the Ayatollah! You couldn’t make it up. As I said yesterday, I totally get the commercial side of all this and £10m for a lad who was worth peanuts this time last year does make financial sense. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it. MA and LJ had better deliver top class replacements after this mass exodus of our best players because it could get poisonous pretty quickly if they don’t. I don’t normally get too excited either way about the comings and goings at BCFC but this one has really pissed me off. Sad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 For all the people attacking him for doing the Ayatollah he's no longer our player, he has to appeal to the fans of the club he plays for and being as many of them are loving this picture it's obviously working. If you quit one job to go to a rival company you wouldn;t walk in and be like "screw you guys, I'm not doing that, it'll upset my previous employer" and risk being hated by everyone at your new job. The club got £10m for him, he could have gone for £500k and we would have been happy this time last year so let's not play the victim or abuse the guy. He worked hard this season and now he's been given a platform to perform at the highest level of English football. If next year a club offers £30m for him after a great first season and he moves again would you still hate him knowing we got a nice sell on clause in place? Honestly, Bobby got his fair share of abuse here when he wasn't performing, now he takes his opportunity to move up in his career and suddenly everyone is acting like he was our hero, he only got that status this season. Yes it's a bloody bitter pill to swallow where he's gone but I honestly don't see many, if any, other Premier League clubs offering what Cardiff did so the way I see it is he's no longer our player, he can have a bluebird tattoo for all I care but he's earned that chance and he's got the club a nice wedge of cash to reinvest, now my only concern is can I trust Ashton and Johnson to reinvest it well...

samo II Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Jesus. Mags, Flint, Reid - that’s a hell of a lot of first team appearances and goals from our best season for ages to be cashing in on. While I can (sort of) see the logic of Mags and Flint if Baker and Wright are fit, and Vyner and Moore might step up, really hoping someone very, very good is lined up to replace Bobby. Absolute revelation last season, and real shame he’s gone to ****ing Cardiff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 What a transformation. I'd have let him go for nowt last summer as I could never see him making it in the midfield and now he's a striker we're getting £10m for. LJ has to get some credit for that. Business wise it's a much, much better outcome for the club than similar situations with a player who has a year left e.g. Albert, Maynard. I don't really care about Cardiff too much, they will be back down in a year with ColinW in charge, so no need to get worked up about that. The main need now is that we spend the cash well and that is definitely a concern - more Kodjias and fewer Engvalls please. Best of luck Bobby.

I agree with you and just feel like I've been squarely kicked in the nads yet again. However, the blame for this has to be squarely on the club and those who run it. Cardiff were bloody awful but they were consistently awful but nobody worked them out for the most part. City had a real chance to go for it in January and basically decided not to. Of course it would have been a gamble to do so in January but Christ look at us now. £ gone already and surely at least one more to follow them out of the door. Maybe there are excellent replacements lined up but hard to feel positive at this point. The only positive so far that I've seen is our mint away kit. I certainly am not going to knock one out over the Watkins signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard. Especially when it’s all caused by our own failing. Massive misread of the mood to be posting farewell montages and lengthy articles talking about how we'll all miss him. Can anyone point me to the articles where Rovers did the same when we signed Taylor? No because even those six fingered clowns knew how to read the mood of the fan base.

Stats bomb and squawka. Bristol City can play more long balls in games than Cardiff because the team has more possession, makes many more passes, plays shorter (generally), backwards, sideways and passes with a higher degree of accuracy. The fifth, six, seventh .. Pass may go long and with more possession with the football staying in the first and second thirds sometimes for long periods. Cardiff go long quicker first or second pass in the first and second third than anybody with less of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
