FNQ Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 11 minutes ago, Robbored said: It’s true Ska - I don’t know what going on with the TC saga anymore than any other fan. There are those that claim or hint that they do know what’s happening but in reality it’s no more than conjecture. My very simplistic take is based on what generally happens with most transfers - the money debate. Every club is looking to get the best deal for their club and that often leads to negotiations stalling or lingering on and that seems to be where the Twine situation is right now and has been for quite awhile. As for Conway - the sooner he leaves City the better. Too simplistic for me… At the end of the day there’s only one decision maker here. Tommy won’t give a rats arse what the best financial deal for Bristol City is, he’ll only leave for a club that he wants to join. From his perspective if he can’t go now then he can go in January… He’s ambitious as we all know and I’d be surprised if he feels that Hull City are his best route to the premier.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City is bigger than any player and many see TC’s refusal to sign a new deal as disrespectful to the club who nurtured him from a boy and developed him into the player he is now/was. I don’t see that as bitter. It’s a normal human reaction Had he signed and stayed in Mannings plans and scored 20+ this season then other clubs, probably PL clubs would take a far greater interest in him. A similar sum as City got for Semenyo could have been coming the clubs way. Currently he’s twiddling his thumbs with the u21s and completely out of the Championship window. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not how football works mate is it though. Players have to take the rough with the smooth. Whilst your logic is sound it doesn’t play out like that in reality as football is an extremely emotional sport and fans of clubs are passionate as f about their clubs. If there was no emotion/passion fans wouldn’t spend fortunes watching these players kick a bag of wind about on some grass would they. And people like Tommy Conway wouldn’t be earning anything like the money they do. It all comes with the territory doesn’t it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think it's about which club HE wants to join. It's about the best deal for him. Let's face it Boro, Burnley or Hull doesn't have the same attraction as Glasgow and European football, does it. He's made his bed, the club has invested in a different calibre of striker and there's no turning back. He will effectively be where he was when he turned down the same improved contract we offered him a while ago but without the adulation of 40,000 Glasgow fans behind him and European football both internationally and domestically in front of him. He can thank his brilliant agent for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 21 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: It doesn’t really, but the other week I ordered a latte macchiato and asked for it skinny as I’m trying to lose weight. Although I trusted the discretion of the coffee shop manager, I was stunned to find that most of the other patrons knew my order even before I’d recieved it, when I still may have changed to an Americano. Furthermore, I paid a little extra for the skinny status and the information of the price seemed to hit the public domain with no explanation. It wouldn’t have been so bad, but they literally had a Scottish barista over from Belgium sitting down doing nothing while I was trying to get my drink due to “work permit” issues. (Her working at the shop is totally irrelevant) If the Scottish barista you mention is the same one that served me, she is absolutely useless. I asked her for a Latte made with oat milk, and she just looked at me blankly and said ‘I canna make a Latte withoot milk’. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right as I guess the story effectively goes back to things that TC might have said but I'm inclined to believe it because the story goes Celtic showed interest last January, TC was told that he would get a nice shiny new contract at £x so Celtic wasn't persued. Then, when the contract arrived it was at £y or not at quite the same favourable terms so it was clear the verbal offer was just made to deter Celtic. Personally, everything that follows then makes sense. Now the club could have decided between the verbal and formal offer that belts had to be tightened, or TC wasn't worth as much as they thought, or TC didn't feature in the new manager's plans etc etc. I'm sure they could justify it somehow and there could be a myriad of reasons. But, sitting as TC I would be pretty hacked off and can see why he wouldn't then negotiate. Allegedly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately rumours can sometimes be spot on, have a one sided element of truth to them or spread to cause mischief (not by the person who posted on here), in my opinion, it makes no sense, even if TC was not in LM plans he is worth a lot more to the club on a contract than be left in a situation where we are now desperate to off load so he does not walk for next to nothing in a year, which he still could.

Yet, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, TC actually withdrew from a Scotland squad meeting in order to return to City and acquaint himself with LM's plans for the future.
