City1884 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 How do you know if he'll sign a contract with us or not? The only way he would sign a contract with us is if it has a release clause in it to say he could leave for a premier league club if we don't get promoted. The same as He wants but isn't getting at Bristol. Why would we pay £6m+ and agree to that?? No prem club is going to pay Bristol £6m+ So his best opportunity for prem football is by being out of contract!!
Nick Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I think it would be naive to think that this player has not indicated that he would come to the football club. Sven wouldn't pursue Maynard if he was not interested in coming.
Finnegan Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I have to say, given Maynard is pretty much guaranteed to not resign for Bristol, I would be LIVID as one of their fans if my club turned down 6m+ for a Champ striker.

Sven wouldn't pursue Maynard if he was not interested in coming. Well, I hope I am proved wrong, I really do. I'd be the very first to have his name on my shirt, I'm just trying to be realistic, and I think i will be proved correct.
turkish14 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Take a minute to look at Joey Barton. Newcastle want rid, but he hasn't officially done enough wrong to have his contract cancelled, so they have agreed a fee (£0) with every club in the world, but until Joey gets an offer from the right type of club, he is gonna carry on at Newcastle and pick up his wages. There is NOTHING Newcastle can do. Bristol city are in a WORSE position. They want rid, but only for £6m+. Even if they agree a fee with us, until Nicky gets an offer from the right type of club (Prem), he is gonna carry on at Bristol and pick up his wages until the summer, then leave to a prem club on a free. At that point a prem club will take a risk and pay him more wages than maybe even us, because they won't have a transfer fee to pay!! Bristol will hate him for it, but can do NOTHING about it. I've said it before, and i'll say it again, I would LOVE Maynard here, but even if Bristol accept our offer, there will be lots of disappointed LCFC fans when HE declines to move here. Really good post and bang on with your point.......However i dont believe for one minute that sven would have continued his pursuit of maynard if he had not had clear signals from maynards camp that maynard would be keen on a move. Remember if maynard had handed in a transfer request, he may have lost out on bonus/fees etc....As the saying goes " there's no smoke without fire" EDIT... just seen nicks post above saying the same point
Nick Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Where's that Swedish pre-season vid gone when Sven is asked on camera if maynard wants to join and he replies, "Yes"?
Simmo86 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 People keep stating 'Maynard hasn't handed in a transfer request' as a reason he doesn't want to come here........but why would he? Maynard and his agent hold all the cards in this, why would they throw away loyalty bonuses from Brizzle knowing full well that if they sat tight Brizzle would sell if he didn't sign a new contract, whether that is to join us or a Prem team. Maynard's agent has played a blinder in all this and deserves every penny he gets out of this deal.
Babylon Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Maynard is in a win win situation really. If they accept the offer he gets himself at an ambitious club on big wonga. If he keeps scoring goals and we don't get promoted prem teams will come in for him, and we'll have to sell because we couldn't keep pumping that kind of money in. If they continue to turn it down then he can walk as a free agent to a middle of the road premier league club. The only thing to throw a spanner in those works is the fact he could get injured and be without a club... for someone with previous serious injuries i'd imagine that's on his and his agents mind. Finally Bristol offer him more money and cast iron guarantees that he can go for a couple of million in the summer so anyone he wants.
Bagworthblue Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Another day of waiting to see if this happens I'd relax - all the odds suggest it will more likely happen next week if it goes through - Doubt it will happen today
Darkon84 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Sorry for being lazy guys, but has ANYTHING occurred in the last 17 pages that have appeared since I last looked yesterday? Or is it the usual perpetual cycle of garbage that usually fills these kind of threads up? Cheers in advance
Sniffer-Clarke Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Bristol Evening Post is saying the latest offer as been turned down.
The Don Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Sorry for being lazy guys, but has ANYTHING occurred in the last 17 pages that have appeared since I last looked yesterday? Or is it the usual perpetual cycle of garbage that usually fills these kind of threads up? Cheers in advance yes something has happened. Now go back and read the past 17 pages
thybluefox Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Bristol Evening Post is saying the latest offer as been turned down. We all know the reputation that paper has, wouldn't believe what they say too quickly.
LestaFox92 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Bastard this was on like 20 summat post's last time i checked bet nothings actually bin made offical tho!
Bagworthblue Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Sorry for being lazy guys, but has ANYTHING occurred in the last 17 pages that have appeared since I last looked yesterday? Or is it the usual perpetual cycle of garbage that usually fills these kind of threads up? Cheers in advance | must admit that due to an unforeseen attack of serious ennui last night, I posted a whole load of irrelevant uninteresting dross that I would be happy to have classed as garbage
One Arm Babba Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 It would make sense that a fee is agreed before the weekends fixtures. We wouldn't want to risk him turning out for Bristol City and getting injured. The fee touted is a massive outlay at this level, it'll be interesting to see if he plays this weekend.
thybluefox Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 I think if he doesn't play this weekend, then its basically deal done.
sdb Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 hmmmmm so many conflicting reports!! Would so love him here, especially for tomorrow. Would rather we look at a winger next though, rather than another striker.
Kitchandro Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 What are the odds that some people on Twitter see that Bristol rag and change their story....?
Kitchandro Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 FourFourTom FourFourTom Rumour has it that Leicester have agreed a fee in the region of £5.5million for Nicky Maynard. I'll try and find out how true it is... #LCFC dont know how reliable this guy is???? He's just saying 'rumour has it'. and the bid was £6m+ with add ons. So I'm saying ignore it.
Fox 4 Life Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 Surely its in our interests to get this wrapped up either way, if brizzle turn the bid down again then we wont have much time to do anything else. Nugent has been awesome but he needs help if we want any shot at promotion
acooling08 Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 If we do actually sign him, after the relief and excitement we'll all think 'bugger, we overpaid a bit there'. Knowing our luck he'd either be shit for us or get injured on his debut.
whitlock Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 6 mill on an unproven prem striker is risky business I think, Forlan moved to Inter in the region of 6million the other day, both players arent on the same level...
FRASER Posted 26 August 2011 Posted 26 August 2011 fourth official says we are this close to agreeing a fee | |
