I love bamba , would be a great coach but he's 35 now isn't he ?Originally Posted by LeningradCowboy
He won't play for us again
I think this is a no-brainer if we can get Middlesbrough to pay a transfer fee.
Absolutely but its likely to be a free
bye sol
i thought he was being " groomed " to be a coach here, doing his badges
Sell him 2 million everything in football has a price sadly .
I'd take 200k for him

Thought i read a while back he wants to stay here as city offering him a coaching opportunity
Not going to get a fee for him. May take the opportunity to get him off the wage bill.
One of the best and most influential players this club has ever had. Helped lift the club up by the bootstraps and get it moving forward again. A very important and motivating figure in the dressing room. Let him go at our peril. Still has a part to play as back up this coming season. Deserves more respect for what he has done here than some people are giving him.
He's hardly Paolo Maldini mate. He's barely kicked a ball for the past 18 months
I can't agree with that, Comparing him to the like of John Toshack or Brian Clark or Peter Whittingham. He did well in his first season and the year we went up but was poor in the PL and started just one League game last season. If we can get him off the wage bill the sooner he goes the better. And the bad injury he had at the tail end of 2019 hasn't helped either. We could get someone in to replace him who is 10 years younger.
It's OK shouting and cajoling other players on the pitch, and trying to emphasise your motivational capabilities, but when you are playing crap yourself it loses credibility. And his only League game was the 6-1 hammering at QPR. I just hope the reports are true.
He's a great guy, popular with the fans and was important for us at the time - but one of the best players in our history? One of the most influential players in our history?
Come on. I'm not trying to put him down, but even he wouldn't say that behind closed doors.
The bold section is probably right. But you have no way of knowing that. Everything else is utter rubbish.
“Let him go at our peril”. He has hardly been in the first team squad for many months therefore, his dressing room influence is virtually zero.
The club has moved on. Get him off the wage bill
Bore off
Ask Colin if he fancies taking Flint with him
The club won't ask for a fee. By letting Bamba leave on a free it makes the transfer go through smoother and may allow the player a better signing on package, which I'm sure in this instance the City would be more than willing to do in appreciation of Bamba's efforts while being at our club.
There's no reason why he can't return in a coaching capacity after his stint at Middlesbrough is over.
I'd be quite happy facing Boro with Bamba in defence, if his cameos last January are anything to go by.
I'd rather see Flint offloaded. Bamba deserves his place far more.
Warnock needs the Bamba the man rather than Bamba the player, which is the same reason he should stay at City.
Trade Flint back to them, we've probably only paid a proportion of his fee.
Isn’t Bamba settled here though? Always on about settling in the city....Young family etc.....Middlesbrough might be a bit of a shock
No noe in their right mind would voluntarily take their family to live in Middlesbrough if they weren't born in the area
