'Brighton were unable to agree terms with the Londoner'

This is why there's far better value to be had abroad. Stupid money.

True story.

Fair play, looks like someone else you're over paying

...or he just likes it out West

Did not know we were in for him,but perhaps as is a reason for many players turning down one club over another is not always financial, he/family are settled in an area..

I just linked a piece in the Bristol Post to one of your fellow fans, have a read of that.

It was also on Sky.

I just read through some old threads, see some of your lot rate him, so glad to pick him up.

200k for a good Championship player? Are you off your nut?

We have a strict wage budget in order to comply with Financial Fair Play, if he was asking for silly money were right not to agree terms.

Looks like BC couldn't care less about FFP ,

Be interesting to keep an eye on that.,.,

Fire sale in 6 months maybe

Hmmm, is this indicative of our frugality or Bristol's wasteful desperation to escape league one?

Also, family being settled here may be a part with it.

Another factor is that he would rather be a starter in a big League One club, than backup in a playoff chasing Championship squad.

We aren't overpaying anyone anymore, nothing like what we were a few seasons ago. We had the second highest wage bill in the Championship the season we got relegated, but the clown en charge was over paying massively.

The money we are paying now is very reasonable for the quality of player we are getting. Makes a change to see some organisation in and around the club.

It may not have even be wages. I am sure he would rather be a first team member of a League One with the same wages you would of offered him, than a back up member of a Championship side.

Would seem odd we keep scouting these players then offer them tuppence ha'penny.

Going for BC ******* their money away

Like I said above, he is clearly happy and settled in the West Country, and also would rather be getting the same wages, to be a first team member in League One, rather than a back up in the Championship.

Fair point, but I doubt we would have Told him he'd just be a back up.

Funny how nobody picked up on this Ayaling (sp) thing.

Possibly you may not be able to offer the wages we currently can? I am not sure of your financial state, but the fact you get 30k a week, surely you can't be that badly off?

Fair point. If I'm honest I would have expected him to be a starter, considering the amount of CB's we currently have.

Or the story story was bollocks.
