archieswfc Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We can't possibly turn down that kind of money. It is the s*n though it could be b011ocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we're also planning to move Winnall and Rhodes, no need for Jota. We already have one overpriced, formerly prolific scorer that can't seem to get enough game time to get rolling, we don't need a second! If we can find someone to offload Rhodes to, even at a loss, then maybe. Jota can play on the wings and behind the front 2, just what we need at the tip of a diamond.

Either way it seems we need to cut a profit on a player, then try to refresh the squad. If that means bannan as well then so be it. Young hungry and talented. Is our remit.

WalthamOwl Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I reckon DC will want to much and therefore FF won't be sold. 12 million imo seems a very good offer for him, as long as that is reinvested next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't claim to be an expert on him, but my impression was that he mainly plays nominally on the right wing but kind of cut in the Ronaldo cloth, which is to say as more of a right forward than anything else. Tip of a midfield diamond sounds interesting, but that means shifting Bannan wide which I don't prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 This would make sense if Fulham are selling Sessegnon but not not otherwise. TBH they need a Rhodes/ Fletcher more than another tricky dicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Can you hear the bungs Fernando?! Off you pop, you 2 faced, mardy, disloyal little sh!t. Get the cash & buy players who want to play for our club. Not themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young hungry and talented. Is our remit. Yikes. Can't agree with that sentiment. The team runs through Bannan, these opening weeks more than ever, and we don't have another player that can move the ball around like him. I wouldn't shed tears if Abdi found a new club though.

mozzy85 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'd flipping piggy back him down for that much. If we can get 14/15 million then that would be cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it could be the ffp thing is a smoke screen. Either way his goose is cooked, thanks for the memories and best of luck from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I'd said in an earlier thread that we shouldn't sell FF to a promotion rival but if they are offering £12m then that puts a different perspective on it. If there is any truth in this then it needs to be done quickly. Deadline day on Thursday & DC is notoriously slow at getting incoming deals over the line. I just hope CC hasn't given him a list of one paced midfielders who can't tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sack CC Hire big Nige the horrible fanny who can go and purchase a centre back, a couple of pacey wingers and a better left back. Play the way we should have been playing. Attack. Winning. Except it's well documented that he has said he will never manage a Sheffield team as he likes living here and doesn't want the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 with the "praying for the window to shut" comment from carlos it would seem that he doesn't want him to go .......IF chansiri forces the issue it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't to long before carlos is out the door behind him ...........some might say that's killing 2 birds with one stone .

SallyCinnamon Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Snap their hands of at 12 million. But wouldn't trust the club to reinvest the money back into the squad. We'd probably use it to sign another striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I'll pick him up from Chapletown and drop him at the gates of craven cottage myself today for that money Edited August 27, 2017 by Stoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We would be pi55ing ourselves if the scrubbers were talking like this, happy to sell their best player to a rival. try and get his head right for starters, he's in the match day squad so we haven't got a McGugan situation here. Hanley on loan and another centre mid possibly and lets go. I'd sooner see Carlos leave than Forestieri because another manager might just make all the difference and I'd rather play Utd with him in the team than not. I think you've forgotten how good he can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
