Owl1974 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Heard and interview on Radio Sheffield this dinner time with Stuart Gray talking about how Kirkland is unhappy at being the back up 'keeper and then went on about him being an excellent professional and goal keeper etc and that he had told Kirkland to keep pushing for a place in the team and doing what he's doing... Am i just being cynical or does anyone else think this is the start of the lube being squeezed out the tube for us being shafted when we sell Westwood in January?

@owlstalk Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 It's either keeper who could be leaving from that I'd say Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Westwood is off to Forest 2M plus loaned back to us for rest of season You heard it ere first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Course he's unhappy playing backup , who wouldn't be ?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I hope we do sell Westwood for mega bucks. He's better than championship, and having a goalkeeper as our prized asset is stupid - it should always be your outfield attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 One of Westwood or Kirkland will inevitably be sold. Both signed on free contracts so an appropriate fee for either would be good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 You can read into it what you will but it is really a nothing story. How many No. 2 keepers are going to say that they are happy just being a back up keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukestheman82 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Westwood is off to Forest 2M plus loaned back to us for rest of season You heard it ere first 2 million isn't enough...So you're probably right... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 2 million isn't enough...So you're probably right... In general I'd agree with you but signing him for nothing and selling for £2m profit after a few months and after doing a good job for us is hard to condemn.

Well yeah, if you look at it like that it ain't so bad I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Makes sense one of them will have to go in January. If we have a small budget then can not justify paying good wages to two keepers. Have to cut your cloth accordingly, have one first team keeper backed up by a good young keeper. Bring in a loan if first team keeper is injured and you feel back up is not ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Westwood is off to Forest 2M plus loaned back to us for rest of season You heard it ere first Forest can rounduns. Westwood will get premier interest. Liverpool have been mentioned. If Forest want him they can deal fryatt and money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdogg20 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 More likely Kirkland to go as he's only on a 12 month contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 the prem teams have been spunking money around for years on average players so they can definitely afford to pay a lot for Westwood. But knowing us we'll get peanuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm sure Gray says something similar every couple of months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Kirkland will be off in January , said before i think Westwood will be reluctant to move anywhere he isn't guaranteed first choice he's spent long enough as back up and wants ROI number 1 spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stompingowl Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Hope Westwood is not sold as most of the transfer money will not be reinvested in players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheff Owl Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) You do know if we sell Westwood if will be for an undisclosed fee. Yes we might think he is worth say over 2 million at least but what the club think/do is another matter. We will sell him for peanuts, any decent offers from the clubs point of view and he will be off. Edited November 28, 2014 by Sheff Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincs Owl Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I hope we do sell Westwood for mega bucks. He's better than championship, and having a goalkeeper as our prized asset is stupid - it should always be your outfield attackers. Please explain your chain of thought. Without Westwood, we'd probably have at least 6 less points and be in our usual bottom 3 position for Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
