If I was manager and was being told that we couldn't bring in any additions because we're so close to FFP I'd be handing the club a list of players that are surplus to requirements. He's got a chairman saying "no ones for sale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMortimer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We struggle to be much of a threat when Forestieri is playing regularly. If we got rid of him (assuming someone was interested in paying the hefty fee required) where would the creativity come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he's got a chairman saying that if we don't want to sell we don't necessarily need to. I don't care what anyone says we do not need Hooper, Rhodes, Winnall, Fletcher, Forestieri, Nuhiu AND Joao. 5 strikers is more than enough. Why have we got 7?! People can argue about Forestieri's position until the cows come home but if he's demanding to play up front then we can classify him as a striker. I'd get rid of Nuhiu and Joao immediately, and FF if a decent offer comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I'd sell Forestieri, if you take away his first season, which incidentally finished 15 months ago, he has been more trouble than good. We can't afford to have him unsettling the side whenever he feels like it in the hope it's a 1 in 5 performance where he plays well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll work hard to come back #swfcLIVE surely one game should of been enough... he could of been the difference tonight between a win and a draw. I thought a red card was more than a one match suspension... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 It's either as mad as it sounds and CC is starting to lose it. Or FF has failed to apologise for whatever it was to the manager and is learning the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWEDFM Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I cannot for the life of me understand what good leaving him out does? Hand him a 2 week fine and draw a line under it Leaving him out does more harm than good What is the point? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rather more complicated than that isn't it? I dare say there are a number of players we would have sold had decent offers come in, and those two are among them. Any club interested in either would know they are not likely to feature in the first team squad much and therefore it should be a straightforward business of agreeing a fee and seeing if the player is up for it.

Utah Owl Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 When Fernando is on fire he is unplayable and exactly what we need, however the past 12 months he has been a major talking point for all the wrong reasons and who knows exactly what impact that is having on team spirit and performance? At the time we signed him we wondered how on Earth we had picked him up for such a cheap price and why were Watford letting him go. Sadly I think we now have the answer. Has to go, and in doing so may yet do this club a vital service by freeing up needed resources for team strengthening, plus given his recent shenanigans may have a positive impact on team spirit, not least by demonstrating no one is bigger than the club.

CC needs to take into account the other player's reactions. Long term it could have caused a lot of damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
