Silvio Dante Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Even Nagys biggest fans couldn’t put him as first on the team sheet Tbf - he’s just not shown it since being here. When you think today Williams, Bakinson and Massengo weren’t in the side it’s an easy one to say we get rid of - he’s not so much better (or even better) than the other options we have. From a personal point of view, it is also clear that for some players Covid will have focussed minds - Adam is Hungarian, I believe his wife is Italian, so to be away from both families becomes all the harder - notwithstanding the financial rewards. Is he saleable? Yes Is he in our best team? Debatable Is he replaceable? Undoubtedly Its a sell from me and no real concerns over doing so.

pl00peh91 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I was watching the game today thinking that NP has a propensity to prefer bigger “harder” characters who are going to be physical and aggressive. This view was affirmed further by his decision to pick Martin over Wells. Nagy is unfortunately a more cultured, diminutive type of player. Perhaps he saw the writing on the wall and decided to bolt back to Europe where he wouldn’t feel as homesick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the point of triggering a bidding war but surely there are other ways to do that. I just think that where it’s known that a player wants away that removes a card from his current club’s hand. But I’m sure NP has more experience of this than me!

samo II Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Shame we probably never saw the best of him, but I think personally; I’m done with buying for pure potential, and hoping that will work out. If he generates some space on the wage bill (not even concerned with the fee) to potentially bring in some one to assist up top, it would work in our favour. This season was always going to be an extension of the end of last, where NP works out who is with him, who isn’t, and moves things around to get us on track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them are trying to catch up with the pre season and I don't think they will be properly really ready for a few weeks yet. Naggy has had a long standing issue settling in the UK, it's just simply not for him and the championship doesn't really suit him either. He could keep trying to settle but after 2 years and less time on his contract than has already passed he must be thinking that he isn't ever going to settle so for his own mental state and the best for Bristol City I think he has called it correctly (if not a little late). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but we don't know what's happened to those other players last season whereas we know our previous pre season was awful. The other players conditioning was likely better going into the euros. I'm not sure everyone understands the impact of the situation Ashton and his cronies left us in - it's going to take a perfect pre season to get most of our players back to a championship level of conditioning and Kalas, Wells and Naggy aren't going to get that this season or next if we want them to play 90 mins right now. We're better off focusing on getting them right so they can make the difference in a few games time and for the rest of the season rather than them limping through the whole season. Kalas didn't play against villa because NP wanted the players that were going to be ready to play against Villa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
