SKRam Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just watched the interview. Absolutely fine. Welcome him with both arms. Folk have to realise some players, despite playing in front of thousands and a dozen cameras, are less comfortable when sat in a studio, with the spotlight and a single lens focusing straight at them about to be interviewed. He’s pulling on a white shirt, deserves every chance, best of luck to the lad. Ps. I expect to see a number of supporters searching the ‘lost and found’ for ‘a sense of humour’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambalin Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This transfer and Ben Hamer I think have had a input from Liam Rosenoir not sure Cocu knew much about the players but this was one of the reasons Rosenoir was bought in for his championship knowledge.

Boycie Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 9 hours ago, Bristol City said: 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. Bet you were surprised and couldn’t believe we signed Rooney too. Kasey Palmer has finally found a home I see. Can’t believe you paid 3.5 mill for a player that plays a good game 1/4. But, your manager must have seen something.

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Don't know why some get so worked up. This lad can play and is much better than Mason and Flo. I suggest some need to get past their prejudice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 8 hours ago, Tombo said: Whatever we all think, can we at least agree that the word "snowflake" needs binning ASAP? Must be the most abused turn of phrase to describe someone feeling passionately about something you don't agree with. I think for those who seem so offended by his 'anti' Derby comments and forest past, then Snowflake is the perfect term for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 9 hours ago, Charlie George said: Says he knew he was coming some time ago. When that was he doesn't say,but wonder what the delay was ? I imagine clubs / agents / 3rd parties are constantly sniffing around checking who is open to a move, who is unhappy, how much it may cost, what the contract would be etc. You are always relying on other clubs getting deals done, needing the money, being open to offers, fighting off other clubs.. Would be naive to think otherwise. No way you approach one player and just work towards that... only for their replacement to fail through and the deal get taken off the table. You also have your own budget to think of and who else may still come in. Must be a constantly changing landscape with agents offering their player, but often just to drum up interest to get an auction going or even so they just get a better contract at their current club. If this wasn't the case 'deadline day' wouldnt be a thing. Clubs would line up and buy players in an orderly fashion. Instead up to the last-minute deals are being taken to the wire as clubs hang on for a better price, adequate replacements, forcing players out etc. Must be a nightmare for clubs. Saying he wasn't plan A is a bit daft anyway. Sterling, Bale ...Mane...even Saha probably would be ahead of any of our plan A's ! You get what you can afford and who is available....that is what any 'plan' is based on. What you actually get is then what the plan was...if we asked and found Ayew was for sale at £20m or Ibe refused to leave or Sinclair wants Premier League then they were never the plan as much as Sane wasn't!

Ambitious Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm not bothered by the comments he's made in the past, I just don't think he's better than what we've got. He's an okay Championship winger, on his day he's a bit more and off his day he's a bit less. I highly doubt this is a signing that we'll be raving about in a couple months time and certainly strikes of us getting down our list pretty quick.

Day Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Just to put this out there, not everyone is comfortable being on camera, don’t judge a player on his interviews, judge him on the pitch in a Derby shirt. Sounds obvious, but apparently not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G STAR RAM Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I think this thread shows we have come a long way as a forum. We no longer even have to wait to see how a player does in his first game before we dislike him, we can now go off their interviews and harmless posts made on Twitter. I really do despair.

Edtheram Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 The comments about Derby make me laugh actually, he handled the question well. I dont want Derby players liking Forest regardless, so i dont mind him an ex red dog saying that he doesn't like us while at Bristol. Im sure Jamie Ward said a load about Forest while at Derby. Lets not start judging him on his body language of all the things before hes played a second of football for us. I think hes a good player and has always been one of Bristol's better performers whenever ive seen them play. Cocu signed him for a reason so if he thinks hes good enough, hes probably good enough. People having a little moan about him and already slating his quality will probably be signing about him or bouncing after he scores for us, Judge a player on the pitch not off it in one interview.....

Just amazes me that if he was to come on tomorrow there would be people in the ground with a pre meditated opinion of him mostly based on twitter and an interview. Boos will be heard after one backwards pass or poor touch. Im confident that he will do well for us and score some important goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 If he REALLY didn't like us, he wouldn't of joined, he would of just stayed at Bristol and collected his wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was on his game every game he'd be playing in the prem and involve a massive fee and high wages. As it is PC and co have faith that they can increase his consistency and turn him into a dangerous player for Derby. Look at the change in confidence in Evans and Lawrence in one game. Albeit it is only one game but I'd back them to have done their research and feel they can improve home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raich Carter Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 It's all about environment isn't it. He was at Forest, they hate Derby, so he's on the bandwagon - 'nowt wrong with that. We'd expect nothing less of him if he had of been here. Fair play to the lad saying he respects Forest, etc - he didn't duck it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a lot of folk on here having the exact same 'meh' opinion about Ince. Not saying he'll have the same impact (who knows), but he's got good technique, so in the right environment he could do well. I for one rate the lad, and I trust Cocu to get the best out of him.
