Major Isewater Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 7 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Am I one of the few who is really rather relieved by this? Apart from the fact that he’s 29 and has done very little since that playoff final, I’m very happy with Cam Pring who I think has the potential to be a better player than Joe Bryan. No, I found it rather odd to be signing an evidently expensive player in Pring’s position when clearly he’s the one who has the shirt and we needed recruitment elsewhere on the pitch. On hindsight I believe that it was an opportunistic move from both parties that, at first, seemed like a good idea but after reading the posts on OTIB turned out to be rubbish.

No, I think there are quite a lot of “you” who feel the same way. I’m in the other camp, I think he would’ve improved us…but hey-ho, opinions n all that.

Bristol Oil Services Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I don’t see Millwall taking to Joe. 1, there's his relaxed attitude to rolling his sleeves up and getting back goal-side (source: @Harry), and 2. He has publicly admitted he reads books. Plus he has openly talked about his mental health. And his dad is educated and clever. A few ropey performances early doors and that'll be it, he'll be a "I love you." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody said here that he had signed rather that an agreement had been reached. Nigel said yesterday that it would have been a expensive deal for us, which confirms the position. Nigel also confirmed that Joe then had second thoughts so the signing didn't happen. So nobody 'lied on the internet' as you claim. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Millwall and wages, had a quick look Not quite so low now. £13,396,000 in 2017-18, £22,316,000 in 2021-22. That is a rise in about 4-5 years of 70%. Albeit from a fairly low base. Edited June 27, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
