Reckon he’d just commute for a year and keep his family here
Is it really that bad though? I've never been up that way. Must be some decent areas around it at least.
People often say similar about cardiff without ever being here probably, some areas of the city aren't great, same as any city but overall having lived in a few places around the UK I think its a great place to live with plenty to do relative to its size.
Should imagine it was a shock having his house broken into down here mind!!
you think that won't happen in Middlesbrough? lmao
Let him go for free
Get him off the wage bill mun
He’s most probably on a decent wage seeing as he cost nothing, was told to hang on when clubless by Warnock, who was also touting himself around desperate clubs at the time, so you’d imagine he was well looked after financially when he eventually joined under Warnock. Could be a good few bob for Harris to play with should he go, it’s a no brainier in my opinion.
I can't see Bamba playing again for us anytime soon
He may well develop into a very good coach and if the club have ambitions for him to do that here then he should be involved with the under 18s or under23s this season in that capacity
If however he feels he has another season in him for first team football, then time to move on and take on that challenge?
He always comes across well when interviewed or as a guest on Sky and I would like to see him develop as a coach, but at 35 in reality his playing career is over in my view, time to take the next step
Would be the obvious one to get off the wage bill if we can.
Well if we aren't playing payroll manager, keep him.
I've always felt some players could have stayed on to go into coaching with us, Sol would be perfect. Great leader, great character, sky have had him in a number of times and he sounds very knowledgeable.
Must be into his last year? With a pre season behind him provides experience and adequate cover while also having some sort of role on the training ground.
There are a fair few others we should be looking to move on before worrying about Sol's wage, some we could even command a fee for.
He may want to link up with Warnock, perhaps he feels he could get another year of more football elsewhere in which case of course he will go. But he seems quite settled here from what I've seen.
Also quite possibly a rumour with no substance, Warnock linked to old favourites again.
Morrison and Nelson are the nailed on starting pair this season and given the length of his contract still to run I guess Flint will be back up with maybe that Utd kid(should he sign) as 4th choice. Bamba looked a little slower and his timing was off though its not a criticism as even if he was 10yrs younger would have been the same coming back from that type of injury but the question remains can he get back to what he was prior to his injury at his age.I think he has more chance of being first choice at Boro,at least initially any way unless age has caught up with him and it would leave Harris with funds to get someone in to compliment Tomlin as I don't think he's got 50 odd games in him this season either.
One of my favourite City players is 'our Sol but if Boro can get a full season out of him then good luck to them both.
My concern is that we haven't got anyone to cover at CB.
Flint, Cunningham, Pack, Patterson, Ciaron Brown can all play there. Much as I love Sol it makes sense to free up some funds.
Can he take Flint and Pack with him?
There are some fantastic places to live in Teeside. I don’t know much about the town itself, but the area has coast, moors, great little villages.... we often stay with friends up there and it is fine!
Let him go and get lockyear in on a free. Should be cheaper wages. May count to our homegrown player (?) but even if not would still swapping a 35 year old for a 25 year old which is what we need to start doing.
Sounds like good business to me.
If the opportunity arises to get him off the payroll then take it. No doubt he is on more than a fair whack. Colin would have seen him OK. If we need cover get Ciaron Brown back from Livingston.
I would love to see Sol stay at the club as a coach or an ambassador - but bar an emergency cameo I can’t see him playing again. He may be on a decent wage in his last year - and the club may not be getting full value for it - but Sol has become a Cardiff icon in recent years. He is a very big personality, seems to be important in squad morale and cohesion, and he is an articulate and personable representative in the media and with fans. Wanting him to stay may be sentimental - but what is wrong with that? Supporting a football club with all the cost and grief that comes with it is not rational. Sentiment has its place.
A good outcome could be if Sol goes there on loan for the season, then comes back to Cardiff to take up a coaching role.
