Philb125 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just now, NorthernOwl said: You must really be missing the league 1 days Not at all, we never to my memory bought exciting young talent when in league one. I do miss the ability to give a youth team player or prospect 3-5 game run though. Without the need to drag them off as result is more important. My post was more to demonstrate that id not mind the majority leaving, likelihood is that even if they were all listed we'd not be able to move on though as we have evidently seen with some we have. We couod easily get rid of 15+ players tomorrow and still have a squad capable of surviving this league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyche said at the start of the season how he wants two players for each position, with rest of the squad made from "hungry" youngsters putting pressure on those 22. Sounds ideal to me. Having likes of Penney, Thorniley, Murphy, Clare, Preston, Hirst in and around first team squad would have saved us fortune in transfer fees and wages, and we wouldn't lost much in quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit upsetting that thr best group of youth players find them selves with the worst opportunities. Price we pay for progression but as you say many could offer competition or back up for a far lesser cost and aid their development at same time, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't care if this would make much sense as a transfer or not, this would be bloody great if it happened even though I suspect it won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildsmith instead of Westwood? Really? Westwood in his prime? Sell Tom Lees, replace him with thorniley and ogrady - two young lads with zero first team experience - and van Halen and velancio, neither of who we've even seen play? Not sign Boyd is a bizarre one. Free signing, loads of experience, still capable of winning us games. Wallace is also an odd one. On what basis are you suggesting Kent would be a better option? Pick winnall and joao over Hooper? Release Rhodes, but keep Dave? I like Nuhiu, but he doesn't get ahead of any of our strikers for me. Selling bannan and Hutchinson is pure bonkers. Your team would have us in league 1 in one season. I'm all for bringing youth through - and there's a solid argument for penny, hirst and ogrady to be in the squad - but squad players only. Not starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Sounds like we've forgotten that two weeks ago we said we were after another midfielder. No doubt the resurrection of Kieran Lee has quenched the desire to bring one in... Until he breaks down once again, after rushing him back too soon, and we'll be down to just Jones & Bannan as central midfielders who can reliably get through 90 minutes of football.

Not starting 11. As I said, part of me is envious of how Brentfords of the league get to play young exciting players, play attacking football without the expectation of having to get promoted. So, with that in mind I'd not be upset if we sold the lot of them. Now obviously that cant or won't happen. Even if you listed the lot of them. My ramble as it was, was an extreme example. Ypu seem to have taken the current reality and expectation and overlaid it with my extreme example of slashing 20 or so players from the squad. It's highly unlikely but was more to press point that anyone could go than the fact that everyone would go. If we were to adopt the methodology of blooding youth, playing without expectation then we'd not be able to spend spend spend so, you'd keep low cost players such as Nuhiu and Winall, not be competing for Boyd's but instead Ollie Watkins and co. For us to play my team we'd have sold (I'm sure i'll miss some) Westwood, Keen, Pudil, Fox, Reach, Lees, Hutch, Loovens, Abdi, Bannan, Jones, Matias, Wallace, Boyd, Fessi, McGugan, Rhodes, Fletcher, as pointed out in my fantasy scenario, that's hugely unlikely in one window and if it did magically happen you'd have the best part of £55 million to play with to bolster your squad with young exciting players.

bigash_swfc Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 What a frantic day tomorrow will be. Expect to see some BIG moves. Alexis Sanchez to Man City - 75m (there's a 2314 page thread on him on Man City's forum) Ryhad Mahrez to Arsenal - 45m Renato Sanchez to Swansea - Loan Oxlade Chamberlain to Liverpool - 35m Fernando Llorente - Chelsea Danny Drinkwater - Chelsea Diego Costa - Some how, Some way - Everton. Leicester will be swimming in cash, they could randomly sign some unwanted English players Barkley & Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
