REDOXO Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I liked him. We were infinitely better at crosses with him Atkinson and Klose playing. But the boy has a three year deal and less competition to start. Pearson said his fitness was an issue, which it was. I suspect it won’t be the last we here of him!

Northern Red Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Can only echo what's been said, have to give him credit for wanting to go and play regularly and being willing to drop down a level to do so, and whilst the club obviously wanted to keep him, I think they will fully understand and respect his decision. He's got himself the security of a 3 year deal and a real chance to kick on and establish himself at a good club at that level, with the aim of getting back up the pyramid one way or another. Good luck to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on about Ron Atkinson! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Bit of a relief really, imo. The times I've seen him play, he always looks like the weak link in our team and distracts others players into having to try & cover him. I was sure he'd sign another contract and fail to get enough game time to improve - so I think this is best all round. More game time for him, at what's probably his level & we have other options now that are better than him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Good luck to the lad, the security of a longer deal, at a lower level, more game time at a decent club. I wish him well. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It should also be noted that he came into the league late, so he needs to be looking to make as much money as he can at this point in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Cundy showed he was reasonably comfortable playing Championship football and now his injury worries seem behind him is only likely to improve. Should City decide to replace him (there seems an assumption that Naismith has been signed to play CB but surely it's just one of numerous positions he might play) it is likely to be a veteran, e.g. Davies, or a player completely unproven at this level, e.g. Horsfall. Good signing for Barnsley and good move the player himself, but from a BCFC point of view a bit disappointing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KegCity Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Think it’s the best decision for his career, disappointed from a city perspective though. Proved himself to be competent at this level last season, I wouldn’t want him as a first choice but he’d have been a dependable backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 After putting pen to paper at Oakwell today, Robbie told us: “I’m delighted to be here. “It’s been in the pipeline for a few weeks now. I’m happy to get it over the line and I can’t wait to get started. “First and foremost, I’m a defender. I’m going to win my headers. I like to play out when I can and hopefully, we can do that this season.” Barnsley FC CEO, Khaled El-Ahmad added: “We are happy that we have secured Robbie’s services, despite interest from other clubs. “Robbie brings Championship experience with him and provides us with another option in the defensive positions. He has proven in the past that he can overcome adversity and will add leadership qualities to the group. “We wish him the best of luck in his time here at Oakwell.” Best of luck to him. Worked hard to get where he is and a 2 year deal at a club where he'll probably play each week is fair reward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Apparently a 3 year contract which I imagine is longer than we offered, and should get more game time than being 5th choice CB here. At 25 he needs to be playing and L1 should be a better fit. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 They have given him 2 years (not 3) which suggests our offer was only one. Been told by people I trust that he was told earlier this season we were letting him go, though we changed our mind. Not surprised he jumped at the security of a couple of years with a club that should be in the promotion shake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
