Nicky Maynard

maynard would be a brilliant signing.

But no chance of it happening.

To be fair, there were dozens of people on here saying the same thing about CMS and look what happened there...

I think it's different tbh. CMS was the top goalscorer in league one last season and yes he had alot of club's after him including the 'big clubs' in this league but Maynard is an established championship player and I can see him joining another team in this league or even a prem side, not us though.

Not really... CMS had interest fromNorwich, Everton, QPR and Wigan. Who else is trying to sign Maynard? Leicester City...

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Maynard is reported to have turned down Leicester. Rumours that Fulham are interested.

 

[LamieRobertson]

bllx..oops i mean no way

 

[Mr Burns]

Well, if Gus wanted Maynard, Gus would have Maynard, but I don't think he's willing to spend a huge slice of his war chest on him.

If Gus wanted Glenn Murray to stay, Murray would still be here. But Gus also knows he needs to get value for money, and if Maynards going to cost £6million plus, I dont see it happening.

 

[Don Quixote]

You're crazy!

 

[Discodoktor]

Maynard for 6mill plus lol. I think Owen is more likely. Billy Paynter seems the most likely.

 

[kevtherev]

But how often do players make their debut for their new club in a game against their old club?....That would suggest it could be Maynard!!!!!!

 

[Giraffe]

Bristol City will sell Maynard. The reported £6m is bollocks to make their fans see why they are selling, try £4m as being mire realistic.
Maynard does not want to join Leicester.
Brighton are top if the Championship, Bristol City are 17th.
Bristol City tried to sign Barnes in June.
Gus said he would break the transfer record one more time this summer.

 

[El Presidente]

Leicester had a £6.5m bid for a Rangers striker rejected today, so they might come back in for Maynard.

If he does sign for us, his first match will be at Ashton Gate!

 

[BensGrandad]

I see no logical reason why it cant be Maynard as the price is within TB's pocket I would have thought. Also as I have said if he was the piece that got us into The Premiership and £90m I would think it is highly possible.

 

[OSRGull]

I don't see why people are saying we've not got a chance, he hasn't been linked with prem clubs like CMS and we 'didn't have a chance then'. Maynards wages won't be high at all and I think our impressive start to the season could really help start attracting the better players, a £4mill bid rising to £5mill isn't exactly out of a range if Poyet wants to break the record one more time.

 

[Mr Burns]

We've got every chance, if thats who Gus wants.

I can see a lot of players turning down Leicester. Its a disaster waiting to happen there. Anyone who signs for Leicester over us, isn't worth having IMO. Players like CMS who sign for footballing reasons and not purely for money are the type we want (not that CMS isn't earning a nice slice out of playing for us!!)

But will Gus blow a huge amount on one player from the championship, I don't think so. £4m maybe at a push and even then I'd be surprised, at £6million, I'd be very shocked

There's someone talking sense.

 

[peterward]

It won't be Maynard ffs, because he is the same size and type of player as CMS, Barnes and Hoskins.

It will be taller more physical forward in the mould of Bednar, Rhodes, Paynter, Hulse........ someone more like Bergkamp, Murray or Chris Wood, the bigger target man.

That is NOT Maynard

 

[Rich Suvner]

Sorry. I'll be Billy Paynter.

No need to apologise, or put on a disguise.

Just make sure we don't sign you by accident.

Exactly.

Although let's hope they're less like Chris Wood (not very good) or Bergkamp (not wanted)

Maynard is 6ft. Paynter is 6ft 1 inch.
