Royals ready to pay for Bikey?

[Royal Lady]

According to EP. Good move or not?

Personally, I think it's a good move, providing we dont' spend silly money on getting him.

[SpaceCruiser]

Yes, good move. £1.5m is a decent price.

[Royalee]

Good move.

[biscuitsrus]

£1.5m is well worth it just for the goal celebration as seen at COM. Would like to see it at the MS tomorrow.

[Winchester Royal]

If we can nurture him into a more rounded player, I think it'll be a good investment.

[Ian Royal]

Worth the money IMO

[Wycombe Royal]

Young, obviously talented, seems like he reallly wants to be here, showing rapid improvement - seems like a no-brainer to me even at £1.5m.

The only downside is his discipline, but that is also improving.

[Huntley & Palmer]

I think we can find better for the money. A walking red card currently

[SpaceCruiser]

How many times has he been sent off?

[Royalee]

Please tell me you aren't being serious.

[rollsy]

IMO a good buy.

but then he does need to stop doing risky challenges and getting sent off. mind you worth while just for the way he took the piss out of roony in the first leg.

[Huntley & Palmer]

1 red 6 yellow in 17 games. I just don't think his temperament will be controllable enough for the English game, there have been countless occasions where he has cost us goals. I just think that we could do better at this level

[zac naloen]

Good buy, theres a young player with plenty of potential. Yes his decision makings a bit off, but that comes with experience. But from how he was when he joined to now.

I'd definately take him at 1.5mill. He can make strikers look quite silly sometimes.

Which goals has he cost us for? I think you're forgetting he's very young, looks comfortable on the ball, is strong and can defend superbly. You then look at us having to pay £800k for the likes of Duberry and then tell me we can get a better player for £1.5 million.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

1 red 6 yellow in 17 games.

TBF, the 1 red was against Chelsea when old mother Riley was blatantly trying to even the sides up

[SpaceCruiser]

How does his discipline compare to other players in the Premiership? I tried to find a table on the net, but can't find such a table. Anyone?

Off the top of my head

Heskey opener

[Royal Rother]

It is plain daft to point the finger at Bikey for goals conceded. Presumably the other 30 or 40 goals we have conceded can also be allocated at someone's door.

When has his temperament been a problem (apart from the pre-season friendly)? Haven't all his bookings, including the two against Chelsea been for clumsy challlenges?

Our total cards up until the 3rd/4th of March was 19 yellow and 2 red.

Ben Haim has 1 red and 7 yellow in 29 games as a comparison
