Bobby reid gone to Fulham

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
It’s a fair price but it’s weakens Cardiff and strengthens Fulham. Marlon Pack is nowhere near of the same quality.

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Pack is a different type of player. You could argue we need to strengthen in that position as opposed to another skillful winger

****ing joke - we;re replacing him with an inferior and non goal scoring Pack (If we're lucky) and we've bought a permanently injured striker(?) who's best days were with Truro in the 7th tier 5 years ago. Absolute dogshit window.

Only Warnock could sign Bobby , not play him and sell him to a rival like Fulham, FECKING MADNESS. Good luck to you Bobby but in all honesty I think you are too tidy a player for Warnockball, all the best.

Very fair price IMO. Has had one good season end of the day.
Pack is not a replacement - he’s a player brought in in a position we needed.
Take a breath.

What are we basing this on

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Paul Abbandonato
Bobby Reid has gone. Told it's a £10m-plus deal to Fulham. Bad news for @CardiffCityFC in my view, but told he wanted to go as didn't suit Warnock's style of play? Marlon Pack, from @BristolCity , coming in apparently...

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
and this:
Chris Wathan
BBC Sport Wales
Cardiff City are still hopeful of a few additions and have shown late interest in Bristol City midfielder Marlon Pack.
Striker Isaac Vassell completed his move from Birmingham before the window closed, while Fulham look to have won the race to sign forward Bobby Reid.
Reid's deal expected to be around £10m.

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Why the **** didn't we loan him out? Warnock has been a right sCUNThorpe IF it's true they've had a spat. Reid could have come back in with a new manager next year.

Fack him he didn't want to be here and fell over at a gust of wind, he didn't suit us anyway and the new manager would want his own players anyway!

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Gutted by this.
Bobby Decordova-Reid came to my son’s academy in Bristol last week (ironically, my son was at Cardiff City Soccer School that day) and we’d left a programme for him to sign, which he kindly did.
I picked it up last night and then this story came out.
My son is already upset at the loss of Zohore, now Bobby’s gone and we’re left with a rather workmanlike team, perhaps with the exception of Murphy.
Crazy times indeed. 🤬
-
Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
I don't blame Reid for going. Let's face it, Warnock was never going to try and play to his strengths and ability. What we're witnessing is an old man who isn't willing to change. He loses faith in players very quickly, has one style of play which is absolutely useless at a higher level. He gets teams up but brings them straight back down again, but not in a better footballing position. Is that progress?

I don't think that's fair. I'm not sure that Reid is the player some think he is but he does have ability, good movement etc. Why did Warnock bring him in if he didn'r suit us-What was his logic? He doesn't like creative players, he doesn't trust them and looks on them as a luxury while doing nothing in order to compliment them. He loves wingers who can deliver a cross, if that fails then there's little else on offer.

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
The "doesn't fit our usual style" line winds me up, that is absolutely shit management in spending £10million on him then

Absolutely. And the same with Tomlin
-
Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
It is an odd one on many levels (going to a rival, was he given a proper chance at this level) and yet he never really convinced me, probably because I only ever saw him play for us in the Prem.
I have to say that I was quite excited when we signed him, but my enthusiasm for him has diminished as he seemed very light weight, and all too often lost possession.
Maybe a good championship player? Except when he plays against us if course :-)

We have bought others strikers Pack is not a Reid replacement, I'd put Tomlin in there ,we now have a solid brizzies middle vain from centre half through midfield. Yah

He was unlucky if Sala had not got on that plane, we would have probably been glad we were selling Bobby Reid, because we would have been buying much better in the premier League!

Nothing in Sky or Fulham forums/twitter yet - really hope this falls through then today won't be such a shitter.

Clutching at straws but if he does stay and Pack signs then today would’ve been a success I’d say.

Are you left with the feeling that transfer day hasn't worked out , but you're not sure why ?
Try not to identify too much with these things, which are beyond your control, and concentrate upon what a total success your own life has been.

People have short memories, and all of a suddon they don't rate Warnock, probably the best Manager we've ever had, and the most succesful League manager ever, still they no best :shrug:

Did you manage to see into an alternate universe where this happened or what? Absurd comment really.

Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
looks like it's a loan now not a sale
-
Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Reports it may be a loan now and not a permanent deal.

Really? You reckon a manager who has never managed to keep a team in the top flight is the most successful ever?

:thumbup:
Not sure of the terms but was told a loan earlier which is why I was wondering if people would take that. Obviously if no obligatory buy on clause and Warnock due to go in 10 months, theres a chance it may not be his last game for us.
Makes sense as we werent going to use him clearly. Just agreeing to Fulham is odd.
Could just be for financial reasons mind.
-
Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Still no announcements of anything which I can find. It would be even more nuts to loan him to Fulham than sell him.
Curiouser and curiouser
-
Re: Bobby reid gone to Fulham
Loan to get away from Warnock for the season.

They aren’t supposed to be.
Pack is a holding midfielder who sits in front of the defence and tries to play balls out wide and Bobby is an attacker who runs at defenses.
However you can’t have a Reid without a Pack in a team for my mind.
Pack does a lot of the shit the flair players don’t.

Which I find frustrating because I understand him going to FFC permanently with their parachutes able to offer more than we can or Bobby wanting to play PL....
In saying that Benik Afobe may work out.
