briswheniwasalad Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Is anyone really surprised he had one good season for us , surely to be ready or even worth a punt with a premiership team you need to back it up with a second positive season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Great for us last season. Made us a lot of money too plus secured his future.

What Reid brings is not just his attacking threat, it's the defending from the front. It was a bad move from the perspective of his chance to shine given he was never going to fit in to that team, but a good move for him financially, for us and for stability in his personal life. I'd have him back in a heartbeat, and say we traded places with Cardiff in June, I'd buy him back if a deal could be done. Sometimes a move just isn't right for a good player as a manager doesn't play to his strengths. Christ, we played a left back striker (Styver), a target man left wing (Chris Wood), and a centre back a super sub number 9 (Vasko). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that he had some praise on SKY tonight for his performance despite missing 2 very decent chances. Any true Bristol City fan in his shoes (those who’d choose to join them) would turn down their requests, new employers or not its nearly as bad as signing for the fewers and singing about that slag Irene because Wally wants you to.

Never thought he was actually a City fan. I understand your sentiments of course but anyone turning down a move to a premier league side whoever that may be would regret it to their dying day.

Red Skin Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 The flop was Warnock's. Reid was never gonna be successful in a Warnock side. The singing was unfathomable in my eyes. With any luck Reid will have his wages adjusted if they get relegated and we can get him back at a cut price deal. Love the lad. Always will.

Leveller Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 He’s in with several other big names from the Championship mind, eg Mawson and Vydra. Theyre not necessarily out of their depth - you could also argue they are in teams that aren’t coping well. It’s hard to shine in a weak team.

'Orns Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Said it at the time, £10m for someone who had one good season - we absolutely pulled their pants down on this one Love him, wish him well, but Warnock is not the manager for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Put Reid in a Man U side at the moment he’d score loads the problem is the style of football being played doesn’t suit his game, serves him right imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When the river runs Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 One of the pundits on sky sports news said he was running arsenal's defence ragged at half time .Needs to score though I suppose.

BRISTOL86 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Was always a terrible move, football wise. Can’t hold his reasons for it against him though, but always smacked of jumping at the first whiff of the dosh. Not sure he’ll get another premier league side in for him if Cardiff go down as they’ll want to keep him, and will be highly unlikely to recover the fee.

BTRFTG Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Typical **** from The Gruaniad. Reid's a 'flop' only to those stupid enough to believe price equates to quality and from a rag whose front covers report that that millions of British kids are brought up in poverty (sic) but on page 17 read about the 10 'must have' mens shorts this season (cheapest of which will set one back small change from a Monkey - Arsechaps of Hoxton if interested,) thick as a brick readership is assured. As we all know Reid had one glorious Championship summer but striker he is not. I'd have thought Uncle Fester blowing a fortune on someone decent but not exceptional would be seen as a success by Gruaniad readers. Now where's my Waitrose Avocado...?

Bit of a pointless statement tbf. Reid isn't good enough to be a striker in the Prem. It'll be interesting to see if he gets anywhere near the 20 odd he scored for us in the championship again.

But then I’ve just got back from Waitrose with my Guardian and Chicken & Avocado sandwich, so I can see already the view you have of my intelligence levels! Surely a flop is exactly what you describe. A vast amount of money being spent on something/someone that doesn’t deliver what you (as purchaser) expected and/or buying someone as a striker and then finding out that’s not what they really are. I don’t think ‘flop’ is aimed at Bobby personally, just at the success (or otherwise) of Cardiff’s investment in him. How’s the Mail by the way? Still pontificating about the sexualisation of children in print while publishing pictures of teenage girls in their underwear on line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I have faith in Bobby’s ability to step up . He has so much more to his game than goals and , as others have said , in a team set up differently he would surely get back on the goal trail. Cardiff were always going to struggle and chances are at premium. Add in the fact that the lad hasn’t had a run of starts all contributes to a disappointing debut to his career in the top flight . It’s in our interest that he succeeds , for the reputation of our club and if there are any add ons concerning Cardiff staying up , his number of appearances , goals etc. We should be commending one of our academy products who has made it to the Prem.
