My genuine interest is how well Bobby does, I mean Tammy Abraham is twice the striker that Bobby is and when he went to Swansea he wasn't able to make an impact at all. Either way I think both clubs have done pretty well in this deal and whilst there may be a few of your fans laughing and mocking ours there is just as much likelihood that the same fans may see things a completely different way if in 12 months you're back in the Championship or Bobby is a flop.
I've seen Cardiff fans in meltdown, I've seen our fans in meltdown, the bottom line is it doesn't last and fans get over their initial panic and move on. People can argue that Bobby was our best player all they like but the only thing I would have deemed him as is the most improved. We've had some great strikers at the club in the last few years, Kodjia, Abraham, Bobby but the great thing about strikers is they're the easiest position to replace as almost every kid grows up wanting to be the next best striker.
