Fordy62 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 So I think must of us now believe that relegation is a certainty. So the big boy vultures of the championship are circling... Who are the assets most likely to be bought from us? Adomah, despite his current lack of form, I would suggest is likely to be a favourite, along with Cunningham who, you would think would demand quite a high fee. Maybe Moloney? I'm not sure anyone would particularly want many others. So who is looking favourite to get poached as we're now relegation fodder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Albert for sure , Cunningham almost a certainty , Heaton & Kelly possibly. Can't see many of the others attracting Championship interest. Maloney is decent enough but has only just arrived and would have signed in the knowledge he would probably be a League 1 player next season.

Hopefully we hold onto him considering he only signed a contract at the start of the season. Solves the RM situation and could mean Burns upfront then, think the pace of Burns and Baldock would make most teams worried. Can't see Heaton staying tbh unless he doesn't want to move from the area then I reckon he will go seeing as he is definitely championship standard. I think it may be too much for the club to try and sign 2 keepers we can rely on in one summer hence why I think Gerken may be offered an extension.

Lrrr Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 On the subject of poachable assets however looking at other clubs, if we need a striker in the summer and Bradford don't get promoted then Nahki Wells? 22 year old striker with a scoring rate just better than 1 in 3, would back him to get better as well. May cost a bit but would be a sign of intent in our signings and would likely have a resale value if and when he were to leave the club too.

LondonBristolian Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 The thing with Baldock is we paid a fairly substantial fee for him and I suspect he's on a relatively hefty wage for Championship level. Whilst I'm sure there's clubs who'd be interested, I'm not sure if he's done enough this season for any clubs to want to pay us enough for us to want to accept a bid or him enough to want to accept their offer. I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed. I also reckon we might manage to keep Moloney too - clubs could easily have got him from Forest in January and either they didn't go for him or he chose us so I reckon we're okay. Heaton's a tricky one - good keeper but his record this season isn't great and I'm not sure he'd move somewhere without a promise of regular football. I think we'll lose Adomah (which makes sense as he's only a year left on his contract after this), quite possibly Cunningham and maybe Anderson. Other than that most of our 'better' players haven't, for one reason or another, been able to show what they can do this season so I don't think there's going to be that many chasing them...

chipdawg Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think there'll be a desire to keep as many of the 'good' players as possible, but there's more at play than just whether it would be a good idea on the pitch for them to stay. Wages will be a significant factor and I doubt both Davies and Baldock will be retained. I don't think either will particularly want to stay, but if I had to net on one or the other staying I'd say Baldock is more likely to be here come next season. Cunningham and Adomah will have plenty of offers and may be sacrificed to fund further signings. Hopefully Burns and Bryan (who'd be fine in League 1 IMO) will be viewed as replacements. Kelly and Moloney will stay unless we get silly offers; they signed with full knowledge of the situation we were in so I think they'll be prepared to stay. Can't see many out of contract players staying though. The main thing we need to sort- be it in League 1 or following some miraculous survival- is centre half. We need AT LEAST 2 more from somewhere, possibly 3. I'd be happy to retain Bates as I think with a full pre-season we'd see his class. Other than that, get McFadzean in and find someone else. Not sure whether there are any good defensive prospects in the u21s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he'd had an extension. If he's thought to be thoroughly fit at last, and will take L1 wages we know he'd be effective next year. We're certainly going to need battlers. Stead - 30 this week, poor appearance record. He'd have to take a huge wage cut for the club to consider keeping him. He's said to love BCFC, well we're about to see just how much. If the club offer him a new contract at all, that is. Bates, Wilson M., Wilson J., Carey, Howard, Skuse - time to go, no messing about, no sentiment for the locals. Gerken - If Heaton goes, keep Gerken, he's easily good enough for L1. In fact we won't find better. He may well have had his fill of bench sitting though so we may end up losing both. Most of us accept Gerken is very capable, you just never know with a new keeper. Nyatanga, depending who we're getting in, consider keeping as back up on reduced wages. Again, he's more than good enough for L1 alongside the likes of McFadzean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle Rick Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Only Adomah and those out of contract. We don't need to sell anyone, so why would we? Well said. If you look at our side only a small amount would get into another Championship teams first 11. Any club that wants to sign a player intends on IMPROVING their squad, not just adding bodies to it. Adomah, perhaps Cunningham and maybe Skuse, Baldock & Davies would be an asset to another Championship club. The last two however only signed this season so don't think they'll end up off.

ciderbeans Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think the longer term players will stay. Cunningham and Moloney are on longer contracts and having played under SOD before will probably want to continue with him for at least onerous season. Anderson the same. Kelly will stay as he is long term and would have just got settled, baldock I hope will stay as well as Davies but time will tell. Fontaine, nyatanga, foster, adomah, Pearson, Kilkenny and stead will all be off. Ryan Taylor will take dreads place next season. I hope Heaton will stay but if not, we have gerken to be no1 again.

BlokeCDP Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Question is, how much percentage is the wage decrease in the contracts? And then, even then, we may not be able to afford it. FFP is such a big thing to this club. Will others abide by it, and if not, will they get hit by more than a slap on the wrist and get away with it? And of course the dodgy "how to get around it" comments... I am not convinced. Will be a youthful City next season, but would be surprised if we got anywhere near bouncing back up at the first attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 GC will be highly sought after I'm sure. If someone offers us our money back , he'll be gone. aye but I'm talking major bucks, look at what we've turned down in the past for players with 12 months and 18 months left on their contracts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 aye but I'm talking major bucks, look at what we've turned down in the past for players with 12 months and 18 months left on their contracts You make a point, Monkeh. We turned down bids of £6 million for Maynard, ended up selling him for £1.75 million - suggests we're willing to hold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herman Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Only Adomah and those out of contract. We don't need to sell anyone, so why would we? i'm struggling to understand this statement. 14m losses, 35m debt, relegation, lower tv income, lower gate receipts, lower attendances, lower sponsorship money...

A) I don't think we'll be trying to hold teams to ransom on the back of a relegation B) Maynard didn't want to go to Leicester , I imagine Greg will be able to choose from 2 or 3 clubs at the higher level.
