Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Did someone mention we were in for Rhodes on loan if this fell through? I'm assuming this would be with a view to a permanent deal if true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 All so easy in hindsight isn't it. Go back 14 months and if most of us were offered Johnson & Butterfield in exchange for Hendrick I imagine most of us would gladly have accepted. In context £6m & £4m no longer look ridiculous fees. Similarly Ince too looks "cheap" with a track record in this country that's far better than Kodjia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it will be virtually impossible based on what the relegated big hitters are spending this summer. It only confirms to any Championship team who just missed out on promotion to the Prem in recent seasons that they will truly suffer the consequences. The big Prem money is now a killer for the rest But we fight on of course. COYR!!!!! Meh. They're splashing the cash but are they building a team?

As you say, Butterfield looks a good buy at £4m too, Johnson still probably worth a little less than £6m even just looking at his Norwich form before us but generally I agree with you. We've by no means been ripped off on any signing. Even Weimann would be £4-5m in this climate. Sub £3m is a League 1 and below fee now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Don't see a single Bristol City fan who seems to be unhappy about this, which personally I find pretty telling. Even when the money's great fans are rarely happy/nonplussed when a really great player (of that team) moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we keep hearing about "wasting" £25m like it's a massive figure even in the crazy world of football. The reality is £25m gets you Hendrick & Kodjia!!!!!!!!!

I've seen and heard quite a few comments about Kodjia, that he has a poor footballing brain, is always getting caught offside, is very greedy and despite his height he struggled in the air.

Missed out on targets? Did you get that from the same "source" that Keogh wasn't signing a new contract and leaving us and was being a **** in negotiations?

StaffsRam Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Really not bothered about this at all....unless it leads to us panic buying someone tomorrow for even crazier £££s. I'd rather wait until January if needs be. Or get a loanee in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Glad we didn't get him for that price. It's less of a gamble for Villa, they have their relegation money. He's going to have to be very good indeed to retain that sort of value. If we bought him and failed to go up we could have been right in the ****. I reckon we'll still buy a player for a fee similar to Vydra, maybe a couple million more, but not £15mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
