maxjak Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Really not bothered.........he seems a nice guy, and he is an excellent footballer, but if he prefers to top up his bank account and stay abroad, good luck to him. I always believe that if a player does not to play for one of the finest teams in the league...........then we don't want him anyway? Ha!. He was always gonna be a bit of a conundrum, as to where he would fit in to our formation anyhow? It's definitely his loss, and NOT ours.......money always wins over loyalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agard Days Night Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 If this deal is indeed dead, I can only assume (from experience) that all involved with OTIB will mention it incessantly to Shagger for the rest of time, much to the hilarity of all other posters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kid in the Riot Posted June 6, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Very comfortable with this. No-one was able to explain where he fitted into the first team, unless at the expense of Pring, which seemed wholly pointless given Cam's excellent form over the past few months. There may have been some masterplan to turn him into a central midfielder or whatever but I'm glad we aren't taking the risk. Those last few months in a City shirt; he did down tools for me. And that would have been a worry with him coming back, just to sit in the comfort zone. If his priority is chasing a pay packet/next European city of culture then fine; but that's certainly not the priorities of a player wanted at City. 26 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinTuga Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Bit of a shame that it's not happening but it is what it is. That lad from Brighton seems quite interesting and probably more in line with what our transfer strategy should be so am all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving abroad and topping up his bank account don’t necessarily go hand in hand. It is very likely wherever he goes next it will be on significantly lower amount than his current wage at Fulham.

It is their job. If someone offers you more wages then you will likely take a job with them. Just as you would in any profession. Good luck to him. He is one of ours.

Would have liked him here...but a bit sentiment over sensible? Besides not 100% sure of his commitment which doesn't suit Pearson's wants. You have to question why he has had so little games, perhaps South of France is great for someone who doesn't like football? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSIT Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I do get the impression that this would’ve been a signing of heart rather than head. I also feel we had him when he was at his best, we know people tend to reach peak performance in mid to late 20s, however with Joe he has had limited game time combined with injuries, maybe he is past his best? There are ex BCFC players who I would take back in a heartbeat, the likes of Webster and Reid. Not JB, his career has stalled, perhaps a combination of injuries and mental fragility. Happy to explore other options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Northski Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I know JB has managed to get himself a bit of a reputation for making an agreement and then going back on it. That aside his ability to bang in a defence splitting cross is exactly what we’ve needed all season and we hardly ever turn game dominance into goals. Have always thought it’s wiser to never go back. All that aside, I’m probably not alone in feeling a bit gutted that he’s not coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but where ever he goes, it will be lower than his Fulham contract.......but if he is smart he will pay less tax by being abroad. On this rare occassion i disagree with you, I believe topping up his bank account is paramount in Joe's thinking, along with enjoying a better lifestyle?

His inability to understand a defensive line and consistently play opponents onside too. I did laugh, and kept my powder dry at the time, but that first season he had with Fulham in the Prem was terrible. I watched Match of the Day every week knowing I’d see him involved somehow in Fulham’s demise. Sure as hec, pretty much every week he’d be lost upfield somewhere when he should’ve been back or would be 2 yards deeper than the rest of his defence playing everyone on. Decent player going forward but my god, I’m breathing a huge sigh of relief from a defensive perspective. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
