Wiki states he's a Bluebird
Common usage of the word " nice" is to mean good or pleasant , but in fact it really means exact. Nothing wrong with the former and I'm not the word police , but you can't pull an engineer or mathematician up for specifying a "nice angle".
I hesitate to get involved but you're just being silly because I disagreed with you on the politics board, and I wish you wouldn't.
We're chatting about football here , not having personal digs, so please let's not do that childish stuff.
You may not be the word police but still thin skinned and self-righteous enough when accurately corrected by BlueTit to post a dictionary definition of the US use of the word. Perhaps you can postulate on the different meanings of the word snowflake on your way back to chatting football.
Bournemouth boss Jason Tindall has confirmed that offer has indeed been accepted.
“I found out that Cardiff put an offer in for Jack on Friday,"
“I think it was late Friday afternoon they made contact with the guys above and put an offer into the football club, that I think was initially rejected - then at some point after that was accepted.
“I don’t know the ins and outs – I don’t really get involved in that sort of thing.
“But I think that’s just credit to Jack and the performances he’s been delivering since he’s been in the team.
“All his hard work while he wasn’t in the team I think has paid off because when he came into the team he delivered some really good performances – hence why such a good and big club like Cardiff have come in for him and want to sign him.
“What happens beyond that is out of my control really. All I can say is I’ve been really happy with Simmo while he has been here.
“What happens moving forward is obviously not down to me. “
They're being offered money for someone they won't offer a contract to in 5 months time, and that fee will allow them to sign Carter-Vickers. Simpson is probably weighing up his options, as he might get more money/a better club in 6 months than he will here.
He’s clearly a local boy who is suddenly in the starting XI so I can imagine him wanting to stick the season out and see what happens.
Can do RJ, but as I said to Cyril ( who I'm not getting into it with) , it can also mean what I said. There are loads of words with alternative meanings and that's just one.
It's really not important and I wouldn't dream of pulling anyone up about using the wrong word here, which obviously happens all the time. It's just that I wasn't even wrong so...
Seriously though, it's no big deal.
More importantly and interestingly , what's the score with this player ?
More confusing information today from Bournemouth management, so what's the delay?
As I said before, he's a satisfactory " sticking plaster" in that position, but he's not Beckenbauer or anything and what concerns me is the danger that we'll bugger about negotiating with him and run out of time to get that vital cover .
It'd be nice of course, but we don't need world class replacements at right back and centre back, just competent players who won't leak goals and undo the constructive work of the rest of the team. That's vital because then we can perhaps get the results which in many cases we've deserved in terms of attacking play and see a positive outcome from the presence of such players as Moore, Wilson and Ojo
I'm really excited about this signing if we can pull it off.
I think he can be a lot more than just a sticking plaster or journeyman.
He's only just turned 24, is already a capable player at this level.
Ball playing left footed centre backs are a valuable commodity for teams who want to play out from the back.
If we can give him plenty of game time he could be worth a lot more than 750k in a couple of years time when he's heading into his peak years. Far better than signing more 30 year olds that are going to have zero resell value in a season or two.
Do we need another Centre Back in this window with Morrison, Flint and Brown all available to join Nelson in the next two weeks? Much better to wait until the Summer when we can try to get a fee for at least one of our centre backs and bring in Simpson in on a free or many other available players! I’d prefer to get a central midfielder and get rid of Bacuna or Pack?
