Who's the player you could canpare him too? Similar style. Not as consistent but on their day equally as good. Premier League club now could spunk 7m on a bench player in my eyes.

I thought he played on the right but wherever he plays you always want competition and squad depth and a firing FF would add to that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at BHA transfer activity, it does seem a little light weight for a club wanting to stay in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar players I'd say , there is no way they could both play in same team .so knowing that would fessi be happy sitting on bench most weeks, something what he hates.what we need is a manager to stop talking bull we deserve that.

Rather he's been dropped as a result of his behaviour. But none of us know the FACTS. It is not right to criticise or condemn anyone, when all we have is guesswork, rumours, and assumption.

Not all red cards are 3 game ban. Either he is in squad 2moro or he is up for sale .carlos needs to give a straight answer to all this nonsense.

sheriwozgod Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We can argue til the cows come home about his attitude or if he is "poison" around the club, the simple fact is none of us know for sure how much is true and how much as Grandad says "we,ve been played". But the bottom line is, if he goes then we are losing the best game changer we have from a squad that is already looking dull and one dimensional. The only upside would be that it might free up some money to reinvest in our lopsided squad, but judging on our dealings over the last 12 months i,m not sure thats a good thing. The overriding feeling for me is one of deja vu with our fans.............................whenever we have a talisman it seems there is a section of our fans that CAN`T WAIT to attack them, criticize them and slag them off. I have seen it so many times down the years Di Canio, Whelan, Brunt , Antonio etc, the same thing every time "we,re better off without them F*** em" and its the same fans who will praise "solid" journeymen to the rafters...........................you now the ones i mean..............the players who if they were made available would barely raise half a million. If he leaves, despite his childish strops i for one will be sorry to see him go, and the squad will be appreciably weaker unless our recruitment staff finally get their finger out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David1867 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 If he goes we should have enough cover in attack to soften the blow. With a few quid available to spend a player like Diame would be an excellent signing. I can't see him getting much game time in the PL. He has got everything we lack pace, power scored from midfield. He is the ultimate midfield beast in this league and has proved he can do it under pressure too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulva Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 We've had issues before with FF, and the warning signs are there. We just need to get out of the situation with as much money as possible, and as quickly as possible so we can use the funds. Although a different situation, Costa at Chelsea is an example of how not to do it. In the current market he's easily worth £50m, but while ever he continues getting fat in Brazil, and as the transfer window nearly ends, his value is falling. Suspending FF may be the right thing to do, but principles are very expensive. Either play him, or sell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez His refusal to play at Norwich was just in our imagination eh? He should have gone then. No matter how good he was the season before. Weak management by the club IMO and will cost us as his fee now will be a lot lower. No player bigger than the team. Every player is replaceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Leeds currently valuing Wood at 20 million. Not happy selling one of our most talented players, but if we do, let's make sure we rob somebody blind for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremly weak management and once again totally naive PR. They pandered to his tantrum last year, when he was arguably in the 12-15m mark and clubs were supposedly coveting his signature Keep the tantrum quiet, fob it off as a slight injury and let him go. They made a rod for their own back and are paying for it now. No club in their right mind will pay over £5m for him knowing that he's got issues in the club and we are sailing close to FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
