Sefton owl Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Unfortunately I think FF is premiership bound but I don't think we can command a particularly high fee for him - 10 mil at most (would have been upwards of that in January or last summer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagmeister Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Was a £3m player when he came. One stonking season and his value soared on the back of it. This past season has seen him more at his Watford level. Good player but if someone offers us triple our money I suspect he'll be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't at that standard. He was great last season but the only solid offer we had was from Derby, no premier league team will take him following this season.

Guest Coyt Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 For those saying FF is premiership bound, really? Based on what. To be honest he's been well below par this season. I said to my mate the other night that this season he's shown alot why he was used as a sub at Watford and not been a first team regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a piece in the paper the other day about Newcastle being interested Maybe a swap for Hanley now we're still in the championship? We wanted Hanley before, but we'd have to sell before we could afford him I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 think we could do with losing bannan or lee, I'd rather sell bannan. Its like carlos is scared to drop one of them and with a four man midfield containing three centre mids at the same time is horrible to watch, so maybe losing one of them could do us a favour.

pazowl55 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 In the past every time we have lost players I have always been devastated ( Brunt ,Whelan, Antonio ) but for some reason it's different this time. think it is because we are in a position to bring better ones in or just go down a different route, play a different way. Forestieri, Westwood, Lees, Bannan. Wouldn't want to lose any of them. But this time we would be getting good money and be in a position to get like for like as a minimum, if not better. So not quite the devastating news losing players has always been in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stick by that too, only 1 change from last years playoff final. £20m+ spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Toni Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Definitely need to keep hold of Westwood, Lees, Hutchinson, Lee and Hooper. As for Bannan and Forestieri, I'm not fussed either way. The likes of Abdi and Fletcher we'd probably need to keep due to length of contract. The remainder I'm open to improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B_SWFC Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thing is, we're a top six championship club now. Serious promotion contenders and will be one of the favourites for automatic next season. It's not like when we had to sell Grant to pay the tax man. If player's heads are turned and they want to leave, we can afford to replace them with players of equal or superior ability. I'd really hate to see Lee go. It's been great watching him grow with us, and his improvement has been nicely in line with ours as a whole. Westwood again I'd hate to see go, but we could attract another great keeper. Even a reserve keeper from the Premiership would be fine, look at Huddersfield. Bannan I'm not overly fussed about. He's had more bad games than good this season. When he's good he's still really good, but he's just not been at the level he was at least season unfortunately. FF... I'd give you a different answer after every game this season. I love him, but he's soft going to the ground every two minutes and he's a mardy arse who would usually rather flap his arms at the ref than chase a defender down. Hutch, again, love him but you've got to play him knowing you're going to miss him for 10-12 games a season through injury and suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the third man Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 who we lose will depend on who is the manager, there must be some upset at where they are being asked to play, some that signed expecting to play a big part in our season who are bit players at best or who have hardly had a game. when we get a new manager it will mean everyone starts equal again and there could be some surprises, so lets get the new manager in and get them to work as soon as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
