    I have a strange feeling he could soon be a Baggie

    Hope not.

    You get nowhere selling your best players.

    The more that are sniffing, the better imo.

    But if he's not going to re-sign we need to cash in asap. His value will be dropping like a stone every month.

    The clip in The Sun said if they could raise the funds, so will have to sell first

    Ridiculous.

    Sad day when City fans wish away the clubs best players.

    Would you rather we keep him and let him leave for free?

    So let him go for feck all next summer? If he's not going to sign flog him now and strengthen the squad with the proceeds.

    Nobody wishes him away. In an ideal world, he would sign an extension. Ridiculous would be to watch him run his contract down and leave for FA.

    If we sell him, I'll understand.

    I'm not going to get excited about it and start enjoying the game of where he's going and for how much, because it's still a negative experience.

    We should be trying to get him to sign to increase his value, which is already lower than it was in January when we said he was not for sale.

    It's terrible business to sell him now.

    If we get half a mill, we've covered his and McCartan's transfer fee (minus wages).

    Big deal.

    That's a failure, and a pretty epic one at that.

    I've a better idea, why not keep him.he might even get to be leading scorer,.and even get us on the playoffs then offer him a decent contact that would keep him at VP...sorry I'm hallucinating again !

    Suspect if true Bruno alerted by Wayne Jacobs who was helping at WBA at the end of the season.

    No way if he was leading scorer in League One that would be bad, because we wouldn't have sold him.

    We have to make sure he doesn't score ANY goals, because a transfer fee makes more sense than winning promotion...

    I'm not sure how people don't quite grasp this concept. Players who think they can better there current position do not sign contract extensions. Why would they? It lessens their hand when negotiating with other clubs. In that position Bradford have to look at cashing in, they cannot afford to lose out on their most valuable asset. Thats what clubs like Peterborough do. The kicker in this is what part of the transfer fee is used to strengthen the team. It should leave you potentially stronger if the fee is fully invested in the first team.
