kfc_superteam Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Cardiff City are weighing up a £1million bid for Kilmarnock striker Eamonn Brophy. The 23-year old Scotland international has been identified by Neil Warnock as a player who can make an impact on the Championship this season. Kilmarnock will listen to offers for the attacker, who joined the club from Hamilton Academical in 2013. The club are still reeling from last week's humiliating Europa League defeat to Welsh part-timers Connah's Quay Nomads. Brophy scored 12 goals in 33 games last season before being called up to play for Scotland in their 2-1 win over Cyprus last month. To date, he has played 67 games and scored 21 goals for Kilmarnock during five years at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1869 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 £1 million up front and a decent sell on clause is decent business. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngonge88 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Certainly not a bad player Brophy but for me not a million pound player yet. Would accept it tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piffer Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Better than Coulibaly for me. Coulibaly did a lot of headline grabbing stuff but Brophy does the work for the team. With the service IMO he’d score more goals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PillieKie Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 In normal circumstances I'd take 1 mil for Brophy but given the lack of transfer activity at the moment I'd be very worried about who we brought in to replace him this close to the season starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG5 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 If we don't get somebody to play alongside him. Or be able to give him the right service. he wont be worth 1 million very soon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter's Heeder Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Brilliant. Let's try and replace him, as well as finding the other striker or two we're already in the market for. That'll be easy peasy. We might be worse off but at least we'll have a million pounds in the bank. Come on, unless we're up s**t creek financially then there's absolutely no need for us to sell at that price. Cardiff and just about every club in the English game chuck about money as if its going out of fashion but we're prepared to let Cardiff take our only striker for peanuts. No thanks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch14 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Decent offer and he'll be away. I know that he wanted to go to Leeds when they were in discussions. We always knew this was coming. The bids are going to come late. Just hope there are replacements identified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we’d have someone in place but we will still have time to replace him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTIDanny85 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 We are not in a position to be letting him go. Imagine starting the season without a striker, haha, that's just idiotic. Tbf we arent scoring with him so maybe we should take the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident we can get good signings in, just gearing up for some timing frustration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Would not accept £1m from Cardiff. If that’s their opening bid then we can hold out for double. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie lad Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Heard nothing for months and now they think they can come and get players on the cheap off the back off a few bad games, £2m + 15% -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Over the past month or so been regular stories in the press saying bids had been made for a number of our players , even in some cases making out deals were "close" to getting agreed ..........wonder in this case if journalist asked our club to know we would "listen to offers" or made that up too .one of these "stories" may come true at some point ....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Sell him. His penalties scare the bejesus out of me. He’s been very lucky with them so far. It’s a good profit for a player that cost nothing. -9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimrv Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Take the next offer on the table if one arrives, removing spot kicks from his tally and the return rate is not impressive. Got to give the guy credit he is tryer and I do hope he does well in the upcoming season wherever he may be. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigguy68 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I think he is a better player than coulibally but I think that type of deal was a one off. In pure business terms we should negotiate and take a reasonable value, £1.2 to £1.5 m. He has plateaued for me. I was very surprised he got a Scotland start but this helps his brand value. Whatever we think of brophy, AA style of play is unlikely to suit him. He’s not great at holding the ball up and link8ng others. He’s a lone wolf. Good to bring on if chasing a game or when when adopting a defend from the front approach away at Celtic park. But lacks the subtlety needed in the new way of playing. Strikes me as ambitious guy from little bits I hear. All in all, summer a good time to cash in. But only if we have a 2 or 3 strong replacements in in the next fortnight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean07 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I think we may see players with any value leaving soon. If they don’t want to play for the manager he will want to use the funds t bring in his own players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
