Dolman_Stand Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Wouldn't surprise me if he wanted to move back to the area, only 30 years old and looks after himself so providing a deal could be done financially I would be all for this. Could play LB, LM and even cover Central Midfield if needed. Cracking player and a good person to have around. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 After much reflection over the last 9 minutes, I don't think we should resign him. Joe was very much an enthusiast of that Kinesiology tape that was popular with players for a couple of week a few years ago. This sort of mumbo-jumbo has no place in the modern game. If we let these clowns get away with this sort of carry-on and don't stamp down hard on it, before too long, players will start to go vegan and stop eating processed food. How on earth is a junior reporter supposed to get a foot on the ladder of the journalistic world if they can't ask players questions such as 'What is your Nandos/McDonalds order?' and 'How many pints of ale do you normally drink the night before a game?'. #ModernLifeIsRubbish 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 i think he would make a good brain surgeon, not a bad word to say about the bloke. once told me he didnt want to play for bristol city all his life but waited for the right opportunity to come along before going for the big time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliOTIB Posted March 30, 2023 Report Share Posted March 30, 2023 My favourite city player of the modern era, would want him back ASAP. Maybe we would see him deployed in a more LW role such as parts of 17-18 season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(off topic) its good having only the one large supermarket in nailsea,see a few interesting people in there. even judder me boy trumpy goes in for a sit down costa coffee.

Bodiesaffer Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 This would be a good move for both, if he’s willing to take a pay cut. Him and Pring would make us rock solid and very dangerous on that left side. Power, pace and intelligence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 What's he on at Fulham? 30 grand a week? He is still 29 and got at least one decent contract left in him - i think he is out of reach financially. Footballers careers are short, and he will want to maximise his last decent contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will do well to keep hold of Pring this summer, he's been excellent and that won't have gone unnoticed. I agree with the sentiment though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexukhc Posted March 31, 2023 Report Share Posted March 31, 2023 Tbh I don’t think he would ask for much, great ambassador for Mental Health, be back home closer to his loved ones, I think he would snap our hands off at coming back, great role model for our youngsters.

Im not sure he will get a premier league move, though a newly promoted club could do worse, but surely he would have his pick of championship clubs? Im not sure that money would be the sole motivation though, which is why we might have a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proven Championship player like James, Naismith, Weimann etc I don’t see us offering 15k a week to a player with less than 5 league appearances this season. We have trodden that route too many times before. Although I would love to see Joey back if his wage demands were less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_bristol Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) Interesting post this. I would have him back. Wonder if we can offer potential coaching opportunities as an incentive, to nudge up his wages a bit and make his signature more viable to the accountants. Cam and Anis could learn a lot from our Joe. More likely if/when JD goes in summer. “….against the gas he scores a goal, Joey, Joey Bryan!” Edited April 3, 2023 by real_bristol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this. He may like City and want to return to the West Country at some point but he's not stupid. And similarly we're no longer stupid; paying top dollar for players on the way down. Too much sentimentality involved here. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
