RLACML Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That's a fair point actually.I was assuming that the club want him to stay based on Clement's comments on him...I think we probably do but it becomes a bit of an awkward situation for Johnny if the club think they can do better for the money but he would rather stay. Can't see that happening though as I don't think Cardiff will go anywhere near the valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That's a different story though when we've accepted an offer. I wouldn't want to stay if the club were happy for me to go. Mind you, I certainly wouldn't be going to Cardiff either.We're probably not going to just accept an offer without Russell knowing though. If we get an offer that's anywhere near our valuation, we'll almost certainly let Russell (and/or his agent) know that an offer has been made and would he actually be interested in going there. If he does want to go, we'll try and thrash out a fee both clubs are happy with. And if he's not interested we'll tell Cardiff to get lost.

JAT Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I can't see him going whilst we're still in the Championship. He brings so much to the time offensively and defensively and it'd cost more than 2.5 to replace.Yes we have a few options but as last season shows you can never have too many options and I think the board realise that. Maybe they'll just string Cardiff on to slow up their recruitment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying Ibe, but somebody 'Ibe like'. As JW said earlier, for £2.5m he can piggy back him down there and I will chip in to pay the bridge toll at Chepstow.

WharfedaleRam Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Johnny Russell is a Ram and should stay a Ram until it suits us and him to part company. Why would he want to go to Cardiff (or any other Championship team which won't be challenging for promotion this season)? He is good enough and honest enough to stay here and play for his place. Tell Cardiff to sod off. I want to see him turn out for us against Bolton in 3 weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the scenario really. Sometimes I'd want to go, other times not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleyram Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Which is just awful tactics if that is the case. You don't take someone who had the season he did and then say now play deeper for this season. Especially when we play a damn DM. I told yous all that last season and was ridiculed , when I post something listen to me ! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North East Ram Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Apparently, according to the news down in South Wales, we'll let Johnny go for £2.5m.Good deal? http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cardiff-city-told-only-25m-9646063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'd take that to be fair good sum. I think we have cover will miss him thoe his passion work rate etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColchesterRam Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 With the current valuation of players rising I'd like to see us add maybe another 500k or so to the 2.5million he's apparently valued at.I just want to add that I think the whole thing is hyped up journalism. I can't see us wanting to get rid of one of our better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgford Ram Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 He's a strange one is Johnny, loved by the fans (including me) because of his workrate, passion and effort but when you break it down he had an injury hit first season with the highlight of the goal versus Forest. Then second season he had a long spell where he was as good a player as anyone in the division followed by a spell after his injury where he wouldn't have got in Forest's side.I like him but unless he is going to be first choice for Clement we may as well take the money and reinvest.
