For everyone crying fowl, can I just tell you that you’re getting upset about an off the cuff comment made on a social media post of a club you don’t support. 6 months ago. Nobody crying 'fowl' here mr, honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 That isn't to say I won't support him. I want him to do well and will support him. Just a weird start for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Not sure why people think he is only here for the money, how does that even make sense on a loan move where he earns the same as if he stayed at Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Phillips Cocu down they are all here for the money and to further their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldstar Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 He's an average player that may well improve us. My big worry is will he upset the dressing room? The team seems to really get along with each other and morale is high but he seems arrogant and not someone who will fit in nicely or get along with various personalities. Obviously a huge generalisation as I don't know him but he wouldn't have been my first choice. Lets hope he proves me wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Surprised you've taken him on loan. Great player on his day but unfortunately that's a 1/4 occurrence. Can't believe you've signed Hamer, we had him on loan a few years ago and he's absolute dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 1 minute ago, Gaspode said: In that case he'll fit in perfectly with a large number of our fans - the reaction from far too many had been utterly embarrassing. The fact is that he's a decent player at this level and we should judge him based on his on-field performances rather than a foolish comment meant to endear him to their fans....threatening to boo him before he's even kicked a ball is pathetic.... Not seen a single person 'threatening to boo him before he's even kicked a ball'? Are you referring to this site or do you mean or Twatter? In any case, it seems a bit incongruous that if you voice the opinion that he's not terribly likeable you then get labelled an 'immature tool' for your trouble! ?

RamLad1884 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 We've had plenty of players have a change of heart to play for us over the years, I'm pretty sure we've had a few that were forest fans too? (Will Hughes came from that side?). If he's got some arrogance? Good, as long as he can back that up with skill. Some of the best wingers we've had over the last few years were arrogant Bamfords. Wear the Ram with pride and play for the team, he'll soon have everyone won over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a signing I'm never gonna be behind, just not particularly impressed with the blokes demeanour and seeming like he doesn't want to be here. It's not the wage cost I'm against-cost is cost, it's the potential to sour a potentially buoyant dressing room by clearly not wanting to be here that I think hasn't been thought through But that's why cocu earns the money And I hope I get proved wrong and will be the first to eat my words, but I'm counting down till January when Rooney arrives anyway, and now hopefully counting down for this Bamford to duck off as well Let's hope he scores a worldy on the weekend and gets me out of my seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I know it’s a bit radical but how about we give him a chance ? We groomed Thomas for years and then got rid of him as soon as possible for a pittance We’ve given zoon multiple chances to stake a claim which he has failed to take time after time without fail Perhaps the management know better than we give them credit for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluedogmaz Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Pleased with this signing - always looked dangerous when played against us and certainly better than Joz All this up in arms snowflake business is frankly laughable! A Derby player for now and I have no doubts he will give his best while here - hope he plays Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the audacity and complacency to be playing football as your job, to be earning top money and still have a dejected attitude screams idiot to me. No one is saying they'll boo him and not get behind him, I for one would just be a lot more positive about it if he was likable!

He did not say he hates us. He said he didn’t like us ,and a few years ago at that. If he is to be crucified before he even plays for us then at least get the facts right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The video 6 months ago when put with his demeanour today also doesn't help). The other hand we have had the complete opposite with our other signing today May not be the best player in the world, but seems to have a better attitude and wants to at least try and succeed. I'd rather 11 players like that and finish mid table than a team of pratts and finish top. I think that's why I liked our Johnny so much, likeable fella and whilst he may not be the best player in the world, seemed/came across like he cared a bit But then I am excited about us getting a granny shagger so suppose take that with a pinch of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
