albany P reds Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 It says that City were offered £300k for Brooker by a championship club, but rejected it, and also once Leroy gets shot of a 'dodgy' agent he is expected to sign a new contract.

Gazred Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 300k for Brooker is an insult!! Hes performed very well since joining us. As for Leroy, ive always been sure he would sign up and give us at least another 6 months before being snaffled up by someone at Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 If Leroy thinks his agent is stalling on negotiations (eg. Leroy wants to sign, his agent doesn't want him to) then why not sack him (the agent), as surely the player has the last say on where he wants to play and would have a good case should it go any further.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy g Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Well done to the board.Why on earth would we want to sell Brooker for 300k ?It took us ages to get a player like him at the club and we would struggle to replace him if he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albany P reds Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Here's the story... CITY REFUSE TO CASH IN Next Story | Previous Story | Back to list 09:30 - 01 July 2005 Brian Tinnion last night revealed Bristol City have turned down a double-your-money offer for striker Steve Brooker.Brooker moved to Ashton Gate from Port Vale for £150,000 last September - and his impressive form led to a Championship club attempting to prise him away from City this summer. But Tinnion is determined to hold on to his best players as he plots a promotion assault for the coming season. As well as rejecting the £300,000 bid for Brooker, Tinnion is confident that last season's top scorer, Leroy Lita, will sign a new contract in the near future."We had enquiries about Brooks and we could have doubled our money on him," said Tinnion. "But we didn't consider letting him go. He's a big part of our plans here." Lita has a year left on his current deal and has attracted interest from Reading and Burnley.But Tinnion added: "I spoke to Leroy yesterday and I expect him to be here at the start of the season."Once he gets his problems sorted out with his agents I'm sure he will come in and sign a contract."Leroy is having trouble getting rid of an agent he doesn't want to use. That's the only sticking point but he'll sign once that's resolved. It's what Leroy wants and what everyone at the club wants. Leroy is looking forward to playing with Marcus Stewart next season."Clubs have phoned about Leroy but I don't think a move interests him. All he wants to do is stay here and get another 30 goals next season."City are also hoping to tie defender Danny Coles to a new contract in the near future. The future sounds promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudgeRed Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I'm sure one of us on here could 'lose' the agent for Lita. We fans do come in handy now and again when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuno Gomes Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Not sure though it's a smart move on Tinnion's part to be quoted this way. If true, LL would want to sort this out quickly and quietly. Blabbing this to the Press is bound to queer the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I'm confident that leroy will sign, the way he is talking sounds like he wants to be here for a long time. I reckon he should definetly be offered a 5-6 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simonty Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I have full confidence that Lita will sign, but maybe not for a deal much longer than 2-3 years, he seems to love the club, but after a few years, if we haven't reached championship football, he may well consider moving on.

mcbcfc Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 The last line of the evil post, tinman says brooker was tapped up during the summer. Is this not illegal? will there be an ashley cole type enquiry, not bloody likely us small clubs are forgotten by the FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectator Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 They didn't say Brooker was tapped up, but a championship side approached the Club, which I believe is the correct way of doing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
