Especially as you end up only playing around half a dozen serious/challenging games a season with Celtic?. (Plus..... Maybe a couple of European games, possibly?) At least he is ambitious and confident enough in his own ability to set himself a proper test of 46 Championship games to prove himself?

Don’t wish him ill, but certainly don’t wish him well. If he’d gone to prem club fair enough, but this is a sideways move to another mid table club.

Davefevs Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 37 minutes ago, marksy said: I was told he was offered a decent contract but his head was turned, whatever that means. My opinion of Conway is, I don’t think he’s as good as he thinks he is. He wasn’t actually prolific last season and if we would have had a decent striker at the club he wouldn’t have started half the games he did. Watched the highlights of the Leeds v Boro game the other night and Conway had better be on his game if he thinks he’s going to be a regular starter for Boro. if we got £5 Million for him, we haven’t done bad! Out of interest, how good do you think he thinks he is? You’ve heard on here from a couple of people like Ron Walker than Tommy wasn’t expecting a move to the Prem League this summer. He was also entertaining the idea of going to Celtic. So I’m not sure Tommy thinks he’s as Godoy as you think he thinks he is! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Billy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The way I look at these things is how much did he cost us? You’ve got the coaches wages as he came through the academy and then when he signed pro his wages. But we’ve got a deal for five million and two seasons where we got a return on that investment in terms of goals. Are all the people who are commenting about loyalty still working for the same firm they joined after leaving school. I’ve got around eighty staff and I train them and I coach them and I invest in their development. And you know what some times they leave. Some times for more money, some times for better opportunities and some times just for a fresh start. Football is a job - granted a very well paid one - but it’s still a job and the same applies.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulton Red Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Good luck to Tommy, he’s a professional footballer and whenever he played, he played to the best of his ability (and we’ve seen plenty of City players who’ve not.) He would’ve played every game he was asked I’m sure, and with the same energy and passion as he did (including the friendly at Paulton 2 years ago), but he spent too long on the bench, and his agent obviously convinced him he’d get a better deal elsewhere (which he probably did) I wish him well, will follow his progress, he is one of our own, but, he’s moved on, it was best for and him and he didn’t really have much choice. just hope he doesn’t score against us but would love him to get to the prem one day, he works hard and if he keeps working hard he deserves to reach the heights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) 6 hours ago, Lrrr said: Reaction on social media has been embarrassing, level of bitterness is unreal. Good luck to Conway, just not too much against City. 6 hours ago, Northern Red said: The online reaction is further evidence of my long-held belief that at least 90% of people who tweet about football should not be allowed unsupervised access to the internet. I came on here to write exactly the same thing. Football fans aren't known for being the brightest bunch, but even by those low standards, the reaction on X has been spectacularly stupid. This ongoing narrative of "Conway was expecting a Prem move, Conway thought he was too good to play for Bristol City, Conway was s**t anyway, etc" is absolutely insufferable. Really disappointed with how this one has ended. Congratulations to our fanbase for making themselves look bitter and idiotic.

If he's left us then I hope he breaks his legs in his first training session and never scores again. He is not a City player and doesn't have the track record to be a City legend. I hope he goes to his next club and is deeply unsuccesful, I hope he scores no goals and I hope he struggles to feel part of the team. Why would I feel anything else? We have a problem at this club with being overly enthusiastic about players who have moved on. Scott, Kelly, Reid, whoever - I hope Conway is shit for Middlesborough and has an awful career now he's left us. If he never scores a goal again I'lll be pleased. Let me be clear,m I hope he never scores again. **** him. Cry more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
