Pecking L1

Out of interest - what was your first ever #bcafc game? This was mine 👇🏻

@NathanA_TandA @Bradford_TandA Club have an option. Reckon we were offered peanuts for him so we’ve done it in hopes he rips up trees for higher value

This could well be the end of Tommy's time at #bcafc, as this loan takes him to the end of his deal 😔 Whatever happens, he'll always have Cardiff (A)! @Bradford_TandA thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportlat…

@William16301660 @Official_BRFC @OakfieldGroup We’ve got an option for an extra year

@Official_BRFC @OakfieldGroup out of contract this time next year as well i think 👀

We are delighted to confirm the loan signing of Tommy Leigh! 🤩 ✍️ brought to you by @OakfieldGroup

He’s got a year left + option. Clearly been offered peanuts for him, so loan him out and gamble on him having a half decent season to get more #bcafc

@baylee_bcafc Potentially, not sure the system that Martin will play for if he fits in or not - we could get lucky. On the other hand they might just try sell everyone and buy the league

@LukeBCAFC I’d imagine Braybrooke would be starting for Leicester

I’d look at these two to replace Metcalfe & Power Both fit the age/resale perspective. Webster as box to box - looked a real player against us.. ooc next summer Braybrooke in powers role Would like to see one or two more older head cms come in for experience to help #bcafc

@avalleybantam Does it help to keep a core? Yes But it’s not necessary. Prime example being us last season completely new team. Wrexham have done year after year. Takes a good manager but we’ve already got that

@LukeBCAFC You dont build towards promotion by rebuilding every season. Ask Lincoln and Bolton.

Individual quality of the squad was below par. Bolton had that, and ultimately won them the tie. Shame to lose a young lad like Metcalfe but for our level we simple can’t turn down a fee that big Rip it up for profit and rebuilt stronger. We have to evolve to improve #bcafc

These are scoring 200 goals 100+ points

@SassySpliff Say that to a 26 year old Jamie vardy playing in the national league. Nothings impossible

@LukeBCAFC Future England caps 😂😂😂 we weren’t watching the same player last season

7 figure fee, but.. 100% we’ve got a sell on, appearance fees & promotion clauses Wouldn’t be surprised if we added future England caps too like posh did with Toney. We aren’t stupid. Great deal for what we need right now #bcafc

@BrianAustin75 All about opinions but tell that to a non league 26 year old Jamie vardy.

@LukeBCAFC There is no way he will ever play for England, no where near that level.

@Jaydennnnn05 Also no denying Metcalfe will have wanted the move when he heard of interest No point putting our heals in the ground to keep him when he mentally wouldn’t be here

@LukeBCAFC Exactly this, the premium for young English footballers is incredible these days, he’ll either go and flop at Millwall, or be sold for 20+mil in 1-2 years time, either way we win from this deal!

@BantamBradford Tommy Tommy Leigh!

So when Metcalfe leaves we technically have no natural CM ? 😳 #bcafc

@GooseMcflurry7 Can’t force someone to stay. Take the cash and reinvest into the next Metcalfe.. simple as

Surely Metcalfe should've had another year, if we got promoted his value would only go up and it's not like his value would've gone down for being 1 year older. Here I was thinking Rupp was splashing the cash but it's just money from selling our best asset 🤣 #bcafc

@LowerLeagueLook Reyt player aswell ffs

@LukeBCAFC Tyrell Robinson in there

Interesting throwbacks here 🤣 #bcafc

@Taffymfc @luketalkssport Class but raw. No doubt he’ll rise to the top but needs time. Had great mentoring from power this year

@luketalkssport Good player?

Bradford losing both Power and Metcalfe, it appears. Adam Phillips will add undeniable quality, but further midfield reinforcements will be needed to ensure that the club are prepared for next season. A big, big summer ahead for Bradford. #bcafc

@AGroundsss @_callumfowler Stendal wouldn’t have come back without promises. Also is a 442 merchant. Phillips doesn’t fit into that so makes sense for them to move him on

Cracking bit of business if Bradford can get this one over the line. Barnsley fans surely have to be worried about next season. I’ve seen @_callumfowler say they are going to win it.

@iammattbrookes Long term? He starts over him now. He’s 28. Sarce will be an impact player this year

Although the line ups on the Sky app have positions all over the shop looks like Barnsleh played Phillips off the right and he seems to be a regular scorer. So he’s the long term Sarce upgrade?#bcafc

@seandonegan Agree need more of a box to box like Patto was. Phillips doesn’t have that running power to do that. Can imagine we’ll get someone and leave Metcalf playing deeper

@LukeBCAFC Yeah think he’ll definitely be playing off the right if we do get him but thought maybe he could play like a Pattison where he’s deeper but still very attacking

We reckon he’d be competition for sarce off the right or next to metcalfe being the more attacking of the two playing deeper? #bcafc
