Rusko187 Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 @bean_head Adam Baker Keith Millen confirms Nicky Maynard will not leave #BristolCity on transfer deadline day. 4 minutes ago via Echofon Not happening.
Wymsey Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 Oi! Who said he had a medical? My Father rang up someone high up at the club around 14:00, (business/sponsorship side) and the bloke, I'm not naming on here, said nobody has had a medical today at the ground so far, only a few 'conversations over the phone.' Most of you are highly like to believe I'm wumming here, (here's the evidence of not) but with my having Father part of the consortium which saved the club from going bust whilst in administration, putting over £150k into the club (yes really) during that time and has been a box holder ever since there were boxes at the old ground, he has met and known the directors, sales people there and does not. End of lecture, but there's some shit-spreaders around here..... He hasn't had a medical as of before or at 14:00.
He's not bald Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 @bean_head Adam Baker Keith Millen confirms Nicky Maynard will not leave #BristolCity on transfer deadline day. 4 minutes ago via Echofon Not happening. At least I've learnt one important lesson in all these weeks of bullshine ANYBODY and I do mean ANYBODY on here who posts information about likely tranfers really knows feck all...fact! Oh and yes I will be changing my avator shortly!
Ilkeston_Fox Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 I wonder how many "I never wanted him anyway" posts will crop up in here...
Legend_in_blue Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 He's as ambitious as CMS. Big fish, small pond syndrome. He isn't worth more than £3.5m. That's the price for a decent championship but unproven premiership striker. Bristol tinpot City will regret the day they turned down silly money for him. Shame on them. Anyway, he's done us a good turn - Beckford at £4m is a far better use of the money.
marko Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 MaynardWillBeAFox, where art thou? It's the invasion of the Bristol yokels i'm looking forward to.

Maynard didn't get a chance to talk to us + his agent would have been doing all the 'convincing Maynard what to do and what not to do" probably expecting Bristol to cave in and accept the bid. If he handed a transfer request in he says goodbye to a hefty signing on fee. Maynard is a better player than Beckford IMO but thats just my opinion. I think he has more flair, quicker, younger and a better attitude. Still not going to moan with Beckford. Good player!
1964FOX Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 5.5 million plus Waghorn was turned down which is why we went for Beckford.
Finnegan Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 It's the invasion of the Bristol yokels i'm looking forward to. Bring the idiots on, I genuinely feel sorry for them. And I'm sure 90% of their fans would agree with me - turning down 6 - 7 million for a striker that's now inevitably going to leave for either a pittance or for nothing at all is painful. Anyone that believes their board are willing to pump in millions and can afford to ignore that sort of fee is a complete clown, where's their impressive squad if that were the case? I'll be accused of delusional bias by their moron fans but I can't say I care; given we appear to have landed a better striker for cheaper, out of the blue, on deadline day this looks far more like we've played them than the visa versa.
Joe. Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 Can't say we didn't try. Interested to see the future of Maynard, but it looks highly unlikely it's with us- whether that be now, January or next summer. Good luck to him, he's destined for better things.
MGLCFC Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 Could mean we'll offer £2mil in Jan and get him at a third of the price.

Well done on your Dad's generosity, just don't ride that one into the sun chief.
Spudulike Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 I'm happy for Bristol City. They have Ryan McGivern
MC Prussian Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 "Did I already tell you my favourite joke about how we played Bristol City during the 2011 transfer period?"
Libertine Dream Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 I disagree to all of this. Maynard didn't get a chance to talk to us + his agent would have been doing all the 'convincing Maynard what to do and what not to do" probably expecting Bristol to cave in and accept the bid.

I think he has more flair, quicker, younger and a better attitude. Still not going to moan with Beckford. Good player! I'd love us to sign Maynard but do have to question his ambition. He is obviously content with playing another season in a poor team which could, if he fails to score goals, ruin his possible premier league move next summer. Rather than wanting a big percentage of the fee he could have handed in a transfer request like Gradel did and got a decent move and probably made that fee up with his potential wage and bonuses here. Poor showing from Mr Maynard imo, gone down in my estimations!
Guest Bilo Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 I'm going to say Beckford > Maynard. Now don't get me wrong, I was well in favour of Maynard joining, but Beckford is a better player with a better scoring record and I never for a second expected Beckford to be even faintly interested in signing for us. We've anywhere between £2m-£3m better off than if we had signed Maynard and have a striker with a longer record of striking consistency who has impressed at Premiership level. This isn't a 'oh i neva wanted im neway' type post, more a 'can't believe our luck' type post because Maynard turning us down could have been disastrous. With the £2-3m we've saved by getting in a better striker as well as the rumoured sell-on fee incurred by Gradel's departure to St. Etienne, we could be half way to signing Jelavic as well who with all due respect is undeniably superior to pretty much anyone in the Championship. Meanwhile Bristol City have signed Ryan McGivern. Good luck boys.

But Beckford must open been pushed out the door quite hard bet the lad wonders what he's done wrong with a great first season in the prem. Good business for Everton though.
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 McGivern still a pro footballer? Good grief
wellyfox Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 I bet the Brizzle fans are happy now. They kept the prize asset turned down a shit load. Got nothing to spend and the best bit. Some fookers gonna get him in a 50p lucky dip bag at Xmas. :crylaugh: :crylaugh:

ARM1968 Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 Maynard is a good striker and will probably go on to do well in the PREM next year. Might even be with us. However I do think we were told he did not wish to leave Bristol currently and that, as someone posted a while ago, was more thank likely down to his own impending new arrival.
elbucko Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 Big mistake by the wurzells the golden egg is cracking !! Every players has his price and Maynard wasn't worth £6 mil plus no way. Hope he goes for free now )
ithuriel Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 Well the ball was always in his court and he can sit back n wait to see if a prem team comes calling in january when the fee will be relatively small or tough it out until the end of the season and go where he likes. He could even be a very rare bird and stay at brizzle.
Salieri Posted 31 August 2011 Posted 31 August 2011 We get promoted then pick him up on a free in the summer, everyone's a winner. Apart from the wurzels.
