should we go all out to get nicky mayard in january ?


killer fan

Recommended Posts

Can see him staying there until next summer and even maybe signing a new deal. He seems incredibly loyal to them for some reason.

 

Despite not signing a new contract with them, therefore running the risk of BC getting little or no money for him in January or the summer?

From what i can gather in interviews, i think hes happy being the big fish in a small pond there but knows if they dont have a pop at the playoffs he will have to leave to further his career.

 

I think we all know we have been tracking him and sharp one of them 2 should be brought in jan.

Of the strikers we have been linked with he does stand out as the best to me. But Adoma looks a better prospect (assuming we could not go for both). Wasn't Fontaine linked with us as well? Those three plus Kilkenny and James, its no surprise to me they are on a run. One of the understated sides in this league.

Bristol City don't actually need the money, or need to sell, and financially a summer move would be better for Maynard anyway so it would be easy to see him staying put. The only thing that could change that is if the player comes out and says he wants a move in Jan and the fact he didn't say that in the summer probably means he'll stay. I'd love to sign him up but I hope we don't chase a deal that isn't going to come off, and have other targets in mind.

IMO a Premiership club will swoop for him in January to boost their relegation hopes. Someone in no immediate danger of getting relegated will get him, Fulham perhaps, or Stoke. I'd love to sign Maynard (it'd show our intent) but I'd also be happy with Jay Rodriguez or to a lesser extent Billy Sharp or Lukas Jutkewicz.

I really don't rate Rodriguez as a player worth £5-6mill as suggested. Apparently he wants to stay up north was rumoured in the summer along with Sharp. I expect Adkins to pull one out of the bag that we haven't mentioned, although Maynard would be brillant.

Good players, but would probably need to pay silly money for either of them.

 

TBH I think we've already got to the stage where any striker to improve us will need to be silly money. So it comes down to judgement on an individual talent and potential - Sordel certainly has both but whether he could fulfill it who knows? It's nice being linked with these players though and, only my personal opinion, I think we'll spend the money if it's worth it. Maynard & Rodriguez at 5M+ probably isn't but drop that down a couple of mill and it is.

We should go for him but we won't. We saw that over the summer. We are definitely going to stay up which \i am sure was the main objective when the season started and a play off place will be more than our modest ambition deserves.

Oh how I wish Hoddle was manager instead of Adkins. His astuteness in signing players was uncanny. :rolleyes:

Hes what we need a striker with pace him and lambert up front would be amazing

 

We largely score goals following astute build up, beguiling and patient (but slowish) inter-passing that frequently confuses the opposition because they do not know who to mark most and where the threat is coming from. But it seems (away from home) teams are wising up and are having more success in disrupting our play and blunting our forwards. Maynard would be a positive. He would add something different. He is fast and direct. Whatever he costs, provided he fits into the team ethic, get him. We will be promoted with him on board. The next half of the season might be tricky if we are not reinforced by a speedy, accurate striker of his calibre.

IMO Barnard is not good enough (that should have him scoring tonight) so there is room for improvement up front. I just cant see us forking out over £3m for him when he has five months left of his contract.

 

Well looking at their current financial situation I'd think Bristol City might well accept less unless they're in either promotion( yeah right) or relegation situations come January. They've lost 11.5 million again last season and their player salary costs (assuming that they make up all but about 3 million of the salary mass) come to about 12 million £.

Harsh on Barnard, can see him doing a Chaplow and becoming a key player in the coming weeks. I agree with you about NM though, not going to happen imho and would rather have JayRod anyway.

Sky news today, saying Bristol City made operating losses of £11.5 million ...

 

Add the fact the year before they made a £11.8M loss and £6.5M loss the year before that. I don't think they can afford to lose Maynard for nothing in the summer and surely would have to cash in on him in Jan?
