KFS Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 I know it's our forum and all, but that lad who BCFC just signed has scored 25 goals in 150 games? I hope for the Bristol City fans that he was benched in half of those!
Liamlcfc1 Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 BCFC just announced they have signed a new forward: http://www.bcfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10327~2378835,00.html Maybe this would lead to us signing Maynard from them if the prices is right? hope so
HEGGSY Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 apparently 3.5 million for maynard!! Is that a bid or have they accepted and if so
lestajigs Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 apparently 3.5 million for maynard!! Doubt the first bid would be that much surely, I'd take him for that though maybe 3mil
HEGGSY Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Doubt the first bid would be that much surely, I'd take him for that though maybe 3mil the first bid was rumoured to have been £2.5m by that fourthofficial guy on twitter and apparently he is very reliable.
lestajigs Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 the first bid was rumoured to have been £2.5m by that fourthofficial guy on twitter and apparently he is very reliable. Yea sounds about right
HEGGSY Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Yea sounds about right I belive we will go in with a higher bid and that was just to test the water as previously stated by other posters

Guest ttfn Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Got to laugh at the logic of the Bristol fans. It matters not that they paid £2.25m for Maynard three years ago and he's a better player now. The fee paid 3 years ago has nothing to do with it. If Maynard has improved so much under Bristol City and is still just a top-end Championship striker rather than a Premier League striker, that suggests that Bristol paid too much for him in the first place. Just because Bristol overpaid, why should we? Given that Danny Graham, who has had 2-3 solid seasons at Championship level followed by an excellent season, can go for £3 million (with what I believe was more than a year of his contract to run), why on earth should Maynard be worth any more than that? Maynard's record over three years at BCFC is: Season 1- Decidedly mediocre Season 2 - Excellent, one of the players of the season Season 3 - Injured The market value for a consistent, young, injury-free centre forward with time to run on his contract is £3 million. Maynard cannot possibly be worth more than that to an objective observer given his recent cruciate injury and one good season. As it is, (Leicester) City's financial power and status as divisional rivals may add an extra 10% onto the price-tag. For the sake of all parties, that would surely have to be considered a good deal.
Alexikokopops Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 I think the real sticking point is whether Maynard can tear himself away from Thekla.

Interesting arguement and you are probably right in your valuation. What throws it out of the water is that they do not have to sell. As an example Andy King's market value is probably £4 million ish. If someone bid 4 mill we would prob reject it because we don't want to sell - the only way someone could buy him is if they paid over and above his value. Same with Maynard - worth 3ish but we have to pay a premium because they don't want to sell. What would muddy the water more is if NM came out and said that he wanted to leave.
Unabomber Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Literally one of the best players in the league. Would be a top class signing.

Good post, the only bit to add is he has a year left on his contract which he doesn't appear to be in a rush to sign a new one. If he doesn't in 6 months time he will be worth £500k, in a years time he is worth nothing to Bristol City!!
Alexikokopops Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 its not thekla he'll be missing but motion Bwaaaaahahahahaha that's even better than "Colin Sexstone" The market value for a consistent, young, injury-free centre forward with time to run on his contract is £3 million.

But then the difference in, say, King and Maynard is that we've got King tied up in a contract, where as Maynard only has a year left on his and is currently looking like he might not sign another, despite what Colin Sexstone (bwaaaaaahaahahahhahjdakghdjklahfwhipsfdsu) keeps insisting
Dylan Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Also, seen that one of the Bristol City Fans have noticed a change in wording of their Chairman's statement on their OS. From: We are not in the business of selling our best players and we would certainly not sell to another Championship club. To: We are not in the business of selling our best players and we would certainly not wish to sell to another Championship club Suggests something may have changed in them few hours? Another change in their statement too, went from being 'confident' he would sign a new contract, to only 'hopeful'.

But they do have to sell if they want to get any money for him, otherwise he'll walk away for nothing next summer. I don't think Bristol City are a poor club, but I don't think they are a club that could turn down £3.5m for someone they know well go for nothing if they don't sell With Andy King, he has a long contract, so that ups his price, and we really have no need to sell whatsoever. We're not poor and we're not gonna lose him for nothing. So it would take a substantial offer for us to sell, because we're not in position where we lose anything by keeping him, whereas Bristol are in position where they lose out by keeping Maynard.

Another change in their statement too, went from being 'confident' he would sign a new contract, to only 'hopeful'. Very, very interesting wording. What could have changed in those few hours? Maynard's head being turned by his prospective suitors beginning their expected spending spree perhaps? Don't be surprised to hear he has either refused to sign a new contract or actually put in a transfer request in the next few days.
Adster Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 Just out of interest, has anyone got that picture of Nicky Maynard edited in a Leicester shirt? I want it for..future reference
Dylan Posted 20 June 2011 Posted 20 June 2011 They were probably hoping no-one would notice the change. If something happened in them few hours which made a move more likely (to us or another Champ club), they wouldn't want to look like twats contradicting themselves after a statement saying they defo wouldn't sell to a Championship club. Now it just looks like a standard statement saying they don't wish to, suggesting it's a lot more likely as it could be out of their hands? Also from 'confident' he will sign, to 'hopeful'- mean completely different things in this use, suggesting he is a lot less likely to stay?
