We aren't all the same. And there is no one size fits all. I have my own opinion that at the time of speculation he wanted a big money move and didn't get it. Whose fault that was is also unknown. Just a shame that we get a local lad with talent, someone to really be proud of and it didn't last long enough. Absolutely agree, I suspect had we let him go at the same time as Buendia left there would have mutiny amongst the fans, but since that moment Todd has not performed for us, although I caveat that with he has shown flashes. irrespective it is a shame it has ended this way, but probably better for everyone to end it soon. Rangers is a great opportunity for Todd, and I really hope he is a success. I will be watching him play and cheering him on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tricky974 61 Posted January 10, 2023 They are only saying he is valued at that price, we will not get that, if we did would be amazed £10 million for a player who can sign pre contract agreement and go for nothing in the summer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,540 Posted January 10, 2023 £10m ?? For a player who's hardly played in two seasons and in the last six months of his contract? That's pretty good, all things considered, if that is the case. Good luck to him, but it's is a very useful £10m that is an unexpected bonus for Wagner to spend on players.

Capt. Pants 4,265 Posted January 10, 2023 That's not how I read it. It says his market value is £10m with potential to be a £30m player. If Rangers sign him they essentially have a £10m player but his contractual value with us is very low. We might get a couple of million if we are lucky. He could join Rangers for free next season.

Fine, just wait until the summer and get him for free! Would City take as low as £750k rather than getting zero for him in a few months? I think I'd take whatever I could get and get him off the wage bill now. Real shame, decent player in there somewhere but far too distracted for whatever reason, time to go.

rock bus 854 Posted January 10, 2023 I really rate Cantwell (or at least when he is ‘fit’ to play) but surely Rangers won’t be paying anywhere near £10m for a player out of contract at end of year and currently not even playing for us!? if they are we should grab it and see how genuine their interest for McLean is if they’re throwing silly money about!

GodlyOtsemobor 2,334 Posted January 10, 2023 £10m??? If that's true take the money NOW bite their hands off and run! Wish the lad well, but he's way past his sell by date for us unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 122 Posted January 10, 2023 I guess i am resigned to the fact that he wants to go but I can't say I am overly impressed with all the statements coming out of Carrow Road about his non appearance in the team since the World Cup.My take on it is that talks have been ongoing for some time and an injury to him would have scuppered the deal.

Indy 3,307 Posted January 10, 2023 Not a chance in hell they’d pay 10 million for a player free in July! We’re lucky if we get a token sum and Cantwell off the wages. It’s such a shame he has fallen so badly out with this club, there’s obviously an underlying issue, whatever that may be I wish the lad well in his future, he’s been a huge part of our two promotions and maybe the sale of Buendia had a big effect on Todd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BroadstairsR 2,188 Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) This is a player who has been brought through the City ranks since he was very young, given the best at every opportunity. All at great expense. Made him the footballer he is today. Paid him enough to buy expensive cars, property and clothes. Yet he is now able to walk for nothing. This sort of thing has happened lots before. It sickens me that a person can be so devoid of conscience. Edited January 10, 2023 by BroadstairsR 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
