I like deals like this. Has shown potential, and still has time to improve further.

Surely if he is that good he would be in their 1st team plans Their fans are saying if we think he’s good enough for us then why don’t WBA think he’s good enough for them.

This guy, has more pedigree, than Alex Scott did. This is the sort of Bristol City transfer that works out for us. Big signings rarely work out well for bristol city.

exAtyeoMax Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 4 hours ago, RedRoss said: So a player can't be considered a talent if another player is playing more often instead currently? I know its popular right now on this forum to express complete negativity for any club action however if this is true we do have to give them the benefit of watching the player ourselves before casting judgement. Not an unreasonable question to ask, me thinks… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Looks at a glance like a perfectly logical signing, however it does feel like City are gearing up for a big promotion push in 2026 when all our young talent comes of age. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of young player contracts have trigger points for wage increases anyway, e.g. after they’ve played x games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you'll quote NP that were at the ceiling of our wage structure currently. I wouldn't always take his word as gospel plus he could mean its at the ceiling for new signings and wages for existing players and their respective new contracts have been set aside already.

Jacki Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 A guy I work with is a Baggies ST holder and said he’s not bothered to be losing Gardner-Hickman. He said he could make it but that he would be surprised if he did, and that he’s nowhere near Scott level which is no surprise. I wouldn’t prejudge this one though, he looks like a logical signing of the type I’d expect us to make. Let’s hope we get him in and we can see the best of the lad.

Yes of course we will but if we extend in one year then we save 12 months worth of extra wages paid out, is my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
