Christie departure all but confirmed (2 Viewers)

mrtrench · Dec 26, 2013

We now have the ubiquitous 'committed to the cause' statements from Christie:

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sp...ews/cyrus-christie-says-hes-committed-6445125

There's plenty of space between the lines to suggest a move in the January window. A Spurs move? Possibly - and also a well worn trail.

It was ever so, good luck to him. I don't think it will impact the team too badly, given Phillips's emergence.

stupot07 · Dec 26, 2013

Don't think he's good enough or has enough potential for a move to spurs.

He's nowhere near good enough for a spurs move. Think huddesfield is prob his best bet.

Southampton

Unfortunately had his 'head turned' most probably by his agent. He'd be better off waiting until his contract runs out in the Summer, more and possibly better options! PUSB

Gint11 · Dec 26, 2013

Agreed with all of the above. Nowhere near good enough for the Premiership, Championship more likely. The fact he hasn't signed a new contract tells me his head is turned. I don't see a problem with him wanting to earn more and play higher so good luck to him. Another notch on the Academy belt.

thaiskyblue · Dec 26, 2013

good luck to him , if your a pro you want to better yourself, don't think that will happen here.

Boooooo!! #noccm

savosdad · Dec 26, 2013

If he was that good why are we shipping in goals for fun. See you, might be better off with tony Christie show me the way

Spagbol · Dec 26, 2013

Thing with Christie is, he is not as good as he thinks he is. Has potential, no doubt, and an excellent player at THIS level. If he could get a lucrative move good for him, but these are the type of players we need to keep and build on, like WIlson, Fleck, Thomas etc.

Still living in cloud cuckoo land old bean.. simply the way the world works...

Speng · Dec 26, 2013

I think he has been poor so not really bothered if he wants out ,

skybluebal · Dec 26, 2013

Good luck to him. When he is playing well he is a real threat down the wing. Convinced he is good enough for championship and with further development potentially for the premier.

Only disappointing thing from the clubs perspective is he will be out of contract at the end of the season. I expect he will be sold in jan on the proviso he finishes off the season with us. I just hope he does give his best for the rest of the season.

Let's hope he is the only one leaving!

Speng · Dec 26, 2013

Fleck will def be going , by far our best player ,

SkyblueBazza · Dec 26, 2013

Merchants of doom are busy today

CJ_covblaze · Dec 26, 2013

With regular coaching at the very top level (not a slur against Pressley and MacFarlane) he could make it. I've seen far worse potential and lower level of talent at St Georges, albeit a year or two younger, in the last year or so. Can't be the only one that's struggling to work out where his best position is though. Good luck to the lad and as someone else has said another success story from our academy.

More likely cheesed Off playing on the cabbage patch at the cobblers,It's probably his way of supporting NOPM and
letting sisu know if they don't go he will.

RoboCCFC90 · Dec 26, 2013

I hope he stays for the rest of the season.

Beyond that is a list of endless scenarios, you'd think that if we got promoted we would have a good chance of keeping Cyrus.

If we sign Seabourne we should cash in. I thought the defence looked so much better today with Seabourne &!Webster. Push Clarke to RB in jus natural position. We have Phillips and Willis to cover Clarke for RB

Let's utilise Christie until the end of season he will be useful.

Can't see many Clubs agreeing to let him stay with us until the end of the season - I just hope that if he goes, he gets first team football and doesn't end up like Bigi (although the extra time he has to ponder what he's spending his massively increased income on is handy.......)

stupot07 · Dec 26, 2013

If he doesn't want to sign a new deal, then I would let him go in January providing we can get more for him that we'd get in compensation through a tribunal. We've done amazingly well but I just can't see us getting promoted this season, we're still 10 points of play offs.

If the difference in fee between selling in jan or compensation in the summer is negligible then I would keep him here.

Northampton could do with him not far to move could be a big fish in a little pond would be in first team and get more money.

They seem to be modeling themselves on us....................

Greggs · Dec 27, 2013

For all his ability going forward, he is not actually the best defender. He will be demanding a good wage on his new contract, money that could be invested in a better 'defender' possibly?

We already have a better defensive right back in Aaron Phillips

Dimi_Konstantflapalot · Dec 27, 2013

I've always said Christie is an athlete, not a footballer. He will make a decent living out of the game by virtue of his pace. But a Premier League player? Don't think so, Cyrus.

Ala Glen Johnson, Kyle Walker both have even played for England cannot defend for toffee Christie is the same, we had some class fullbacks in the past, Graham Oakey, Danny Thomas, Stuart Pearce, Kenny Sansome, Brian Borrows, Roland Niilson all top draw.

Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker may not be able to defend, but technically they are good footballers. Cyrus is neither - which is why he won't ever be good enough for the Premier League.

thaiskyblue · Dec 28, 2013

technique good or not , their first job is to defend.

thaiskyblue · Dec 28, 2013

Don't have problem with Cyrus leaving , good luck to him hope he goes on to have a great future, the problem is i don't think any of the money will be invested in the team. We have Jordan Clarke and Arron Phillips to slot in ,so right back is a position we can can fill , no drama there.

Hobo · Dec 28, 2013

If Christie goes to Spurs (and he won't) it's the last you'll hear of him.
