Every time it’s talk of another leaving or someone we were chasing signing for someone else. Come on City. We know you’re keeping the Kalas signing back and will use it as a sop to the supporters when Webster departs but ... something else must be going on! Lummydaze.... We’ve lost our keeper, centre back, left back, reserve centre back/left back, and have the the third most wasteful striker in the division. We’ve currently got a massive hole in our first team squad. Getting to a time when you need to give us one decent signing to get some momentum going. I reckon the club will be issuing an appeal to able bodied fans to bring their boots along to the opening games, given our lack of transfer activity and player departures.

Red Army 75 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Back on topic. If Everton are seriously after Webster. Be very hard to stand in his way. Would be a fantastic move for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We alll have to remember that these guys are professional football players and, in the main, but there are exceptions, they don’t play for the club they support, they play to earn a living and to get to the highest level they can. I have no doubt that Adam Webster did not grow up dreaming of playing for us....... If a club come in and match our valuation and offer the player a contract that he finds acceptable, he will be gone. You can be certain about that.

BCFC11 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Just my opinion but I don’t think the club will allow Webster to leave for anything less than £20m he’s an integral part of this team and if we weren’t to sign Kalas this summer losing them both, plus Kelly and DaSilva I’d have serious doubts about whether we’d stay up this season coming unless major reinforcements came in. Apart from maybe Everton the clubs he has been linked with I can’t see any of them paying anywhere near £20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 And no one leaves when on a long contract unless it suits all parties, and that would include a suitable replacement lined up and ready. Be mellow with it, What will be will be but no way will we suffer if he does go. When Flint went we thought it was the end of time, when in effect we got better.

Would be a fantastic move for him Could also be good for us if they are, Everton in recent history have paid big money if they seriously want the player, could legitimately be the club to pay £20m for Webster if he goes. Also at the standard where its really only going to be one of the big 6 who take him if he moves upwards and those fees have been £50m so a decent sell on and we could be in again.

"I'm sure Adam Webster is a good player, and would be happy for us to sign him. But he is still a Championship CB, 24 years old and has no England U20 or U21 caps. Surly he would jump on the chance to play in the Premier League and for us. Bristol C come on, could probably buy almost the rest of their staring eleven for £10M.

It’s what they are worth to the team/club not so much ability. Bristol City are well within their rights to ask for an excessive fee just as we were for Grealish".

It's almost worth it them flouting or seemingly flouting FFP, if we never have to play them or hear from them again. Almost though, not quite- still hope it catches up with them and the sooner the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
