Bony and mcburnie 09:23 - May 20 with 5174 views | Generousredswan | Personally I think we should keep bony,I think he had a lot of bad luck with injuries and would be great in championship and also play Mcburnie up front with him .old head and young head i think it could work ,that's if we could keep both p!ayers. | | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:28 - May 20 with 3471 views | thornabyswan | Yes I agree not sure if Bony has a relegation clause built into his wage. Rumours he is on 120 grand a week. | |
| |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:28 - May 20 with 3470 views | omarjack | Bony's injury record and wages are a huge liability that could sink us further..imagine paying him 5 m/year so he can pick up an injury after another..too risky. I'd keep the Ayew brothers and Mcburnie,and maybe get another striker on loan. (although I doubt Andre would stay with us now that we're relegated) | |

Bony and mcburnie on 09:31 - May 20 with 3444 views | dobjack2 | What people may want and what cutting our costs is going to mean are probably entirely different things. | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:35 - May 20 with 3415 views | TheFranchise | Given his likely wages, the injury and his games record in the last few seasons, I don't see a scenario where Bony leaves. At this time, we need him to score goals because only a stupid idiot signs him from us. | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:37 - May 20 with 3401 views | moonie | We have no option . He could well be crocked . | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:37 - May 20 with 3398 views | dobjack2 | Well we signed him ..... | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:46 - May 20 with 3351 views | Al_Bundy | It could be said Bony owes us for the time he was fit this season and the wages he's on. He won't take a pay cut so he'll be offloaded to somewhere like Turkey or China. McBurnie it appears has one eye on the exit door so unless HJ hasn't pissed him off further over contracts talks its likely we'll be without both. | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 09:48 - May 20 with 3337 views | omarjack | I can see him leaving for a couple of millions (just like Gomis) to ease the sale to either Turkey or China,imo it's very probable so we can get rid of the wages and cut our losses. Edit:Well,the fellow before me beat me to it. [Post edited 20 May 2018 9:49]

Bony and mcburnie on 09:48 - May 20 with 3332 views | swancity | Bony will be gone and mcburnie is currently considering all options. | |

Bony and mcburnie on 09:55 - May 20 with 3286 views | thornabyswan | Mcburnie can consider what he wants if he is under contract we hold the cards. | |
| |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:01 - May 20 with 3249 views | Private_Partz | I agree but I doubt Bony has a relegation clause. We can't risk him continuing to be crocked and those wages are a non starter. Another example of a player signed by a desperate man out of his depth. Ollie on the other hand is likely to look elswhere, like most of our squad, as we are such a clusterfeck. The signing of a manager with authority, contacts and the ability to play attractive football might encourage those to stay and attract interest from players outside. Leon and Cameron with Huw continuing to pull the transfer strings most certainly will not. The clock ticks on......... | |

Bony and mcburnie on 10:02 - May 20 with 3244 views | omarjack | If a player wants to leave,he'll leave. If not now,then in January. He can always play sh!t. And make us regret keeping him..As it'd already be mid-season and we could have already blown our chances for promotion. We'd obviously rather sell him now if he really pushes for a move. As we're gonna lose him on the field anyway. And next season he'll leave us for free as well. We need to convince him to stay. Not to hold a gun to his head. | |

Bony and mcburnie on 10:03 - May 20 with 3227 views | swancity | I think you might find that if a player wants to leave that's what happens contract or not | |

Bony and mcburnie on 10:12 - May 20 with 3191 views | thornabyswan | Maybe but there have been a few clubs who have dug in and kept players who have still continued to play. Mahrez for instance this season. We have our hands tied with the big earners we can't afford to keep most of them. The likes of Ollie will not be on a huge wage. So unless the fee is right for the club we play hardball. | |
| |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:15 - May 20 with 3176 views | swancity | In reality it doesn't happen. Players who want to go have to go if the right offer comes in. Pointless pretending otherwise | |

Bony and mcburnie on 10:15 - May 20 with 3174 views | omarjack | Mahrez coudn't afford to play badly for long..First because he has a huge ego,Second..because if he wants to impress the top teams he'll have to prove he can deliver constantly..Third..because he didn't want a relegation on his CV. Ollie's standards are different..he'll force a move if he really intends to..But the thing here is..why should he leave? | |
| |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:20 - May 20 with 3147 views | Dewi1jack | Trouble is it seems any fee whatsoever is right for the club. Or they try and hold out for what they want, the player leaves anyway then we're panic buying. See our last 3 seasons or so for the opening chapters in "Football club running for Dummies and mistakes to avoid." | |

Bony and mcburnie on 10:30 - May 20 with 3090 views | lidojack | Surely convincing Oli to stay would be an easy thing to do? Despite the pessimism on here, we will be one of the favourites to go up next season, and that potentially could be with the u23 manager that Oli has had so much success with. Moving to Rangers (which is the only club I've seen him vaguely linked to) would offer him the chance to finish second in Scotland. Not exactly a great achievement. If Oli can be the one that scores the goals that send us up his value would sky-rocket. And if he doesnt he could still get his move to Scotland next summer or even January. Give him assurances that he will get game time (which he must surely get next season) and its a no brainer. | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:31 - May 20 with 3079 views | PawelAbbott | He has 12,months left on his contract. We could play hardball and lose him for nothing in 12 months or we could take the suggested £4 million that he is rated at now. He has had a decent half a season in the championship with Barnsley. If someone is willing to pay a few million for him then take it. | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:41 - May 20 with 3033 views | jack247 | Agree with this. I don’t see him leaving until the January window. Just can’t see teams taking the risk | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:42 - May 20 with 3023 views | EU5Makaveli | 120 grand a week? Where do people get this absolute rubbish from | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:43 - May 20 with 3018 views | Jacket | Ship Bony out to Turkey or China I'd say. Even with a relegation clause he'd be on 60 grand a week. Can't afford to keep him here - nowhere near worth that | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:49 - May 20 with 2984 views | jasper_T | His original Man City contract would have run until the end of next season, so to bring him here we would have had to offer him a meaningful financial incentive. | | | |
Bony and mcburnie on 10:52 - May 20 with 2973 views | thornabyswan | 12 million transfer fee as well Huw knows how to waste a few quid fair play. | |

Bony and mcburnie on 11:10 - May 20 with 2903 views | Dr_Winston | Seems to have been one specific tweet rather than anything reliable. It makes the club and player look terrible so naturally people treat it as gospel. | |
