Realistically if a PL Club offers £20m he’ll be gone. I think he’d be better off staying in the championship for another season, but he’s not going to turn down an opportunity to go to a PL club.

 

I think £20m is the absolute minimum we should be looking to get. Even then I'd expect us to ask for a hefty sell-on clause as well. Pacey, powerful players are in high demand, and he has age on his side.

 

Appreciate that, and of course a hefty sell on clause would need to be included , but we aren’t going to turn down £20m if it’s offered imo

edit
What could push it higher is if several clubs want him.

of course thedownside is because we are skint there may be an attitude of "we could save a few million" as BCFC is skint?

 

CITY HAVE made the first swap Callums wages for Mark AND HAS A LITTLE LEFT IN THE KITTY

 

If Klose goes this is a good option, if he stays, I can’t see us needing this guy as well.

 

if he is free ... bear in mind we have been stretched this season..injuries etc ....

 

Hard to get excited by this!

 

The title of that article is misleading - there is a disclaimer a couple of pages in:

'It should be noted that these are only the very raw “title-winning” odds and the other market that is open is “promotion” which has City at a more agreeable 12/1, albeit again well down the list and again alongside Reading and Preston...'

It's basically saying that Bristol City and Rotherham are the 2 teams least likely to get promoted as champions. Not the same as being most likely to get relegated.

Having been a City fan as long as I have, they're probably right

 

spot on .. bookies will take money on them not being relegated by the satchel full! might even give free bets to pundits who state BCFC WILL BE RELEGATED

 

Wow, what shock news. What was to be expected after a poor season?

 

Get as much as possible and let nige invest in players.

 

I agree - I think we could afford to let HNM go - for a decent fee of course.

I'd be more worried if this was Semenyo tbh. We'd struggle to find a replacement with his quality.

 

I have never been a fan of HNM and he should be on his bicyclette maintenant. To me he wanders around midfield going nowhere like a fart in a thunderstorm and although he has some good skills I haven't seen enough from him to give him any more time at Ashton Gate. The time has long since passed when he should be allowed more time to find his beneficial attributes and I feel if we can re-invest his transfer fee for a couple of more dominating players then we will have done the right business. It is very noticeable that the list of good players being released by various teams is growing by the hour and I'm sure NP has been reading between the lines to possibly find some gems in the mix of out of contract players. Good luck Nigel in your endeavours.
