Been reading through the various Bobby Reid threads and genuinely surprised to see most people are unhappy his move was not a permanent one. I think the club and (to be fair) NW recognise how good Bobby is and kept him because he may flourish under a different manager. Am I the only one who is happy it was a loan?
From what I read yesterday, he won’t be back, Fulham will sign him permanently in the summer. Not sure why but supposedly to get the deal done it had to be a loan initially.Quote:

If he cements a spot does well at Fulham, we hold all the cards. If he doesn't, we have him back under a new manager.Quote:

I'm happy with the loan.
I am a bit confused about the De Cordova-Reid move. I understand it is a loan, but several news sites have called it a loan with an option to buy (and it would be Fulham's decision). Those same sites (including Wales Online) saying the final deal if there is a permanent transfer at the end of it would be for a higher figure than what Cardiff paid Bristol last year.
If that's right we will see Bobby back if he flops but might see a big cheque and no Bobby if he succeeds.
I'd imagine its something to do with Financial Fair Play.Quote:

Think your right , I presume that written into the contract so we count overturn that decision or up the selling price if he scores a 100 goals this season >Quote:

Callum Patterson, as a comparison, whose not a natural striker, but can play 10 , has played 196 games and scored 47 goals in all positions ,doesn't moan ,just get on with it , plays any tactics set him up front, at the back, on the wing or in midfield .
Funny old game
Do you think it’s a loan to spite the agent? Neil said that he was disappointed with how the agent went about it.
He was a midfielder converted into a forward for the 2017/18 season you clown.Quote:

Doubt it. Presumably both clubs have options to complete the transaction at a given price at the end of the season.Quote:

Unfortunately they'll be able to dump him back on us if it all turns sour. I suppose it'll depend whether he approves of what the manager asks him to do, or whether the manager there is prepared to change his system when he tells him to.
I agree. Maybe he only goes if they get promoted.Quote:

Don’t think fans will want him back after engineering a move away to a rivalQuote:

If Cardiff are promoted and Fulham aren't this year, he'll want to come back so he can play in the premiership judging by his loyalty and commitment deficiency. Would we want him ? I wouldn't personally.
