Herefordowl79 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 how would everyone feel if in the next 30 hours we did actually sell Jordan Rhodes and signed (albeit not sure on his injury) Conor Wickham on a season long loan? Palace look set to sign another striker today so potentially Wickham has moved down the pecking order, so would surely be worth a punt on a season long loan?? would be an ideal way round FFP for this season and could even free up money to strengthen other parts of the team?? ok this might be pie in the sky BUT it stacks up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom22709 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Although he's never been prolific except a brief loan spell with us, wickham is a much more rounded player than Rhodes, probably why he's played much more PL football, I don't want to lose Rhodes but given the choice between the two I'd take wickham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Think Wickham is still out til the New Year with a knee injury. I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herefordowl79 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm not ITk or claim to know anything about FFP but it seems aparant we are close to it so surely we have to start thinking outside of the box?? If we can't spend big this season then let's sell big(ish) and loan wickham for the season and strengthen other areas of the pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 i'm not casting my opinion until @RocketOwl has given his verdict He's Rhodes biggest fan, he would be gutted if he left 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are really that close to FFP would we spend a reported 4 million (according to the star) on Joost when we could have signed Dean for almost half of that?

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 FFP is a load of old nonsense, and our signing of the Dutch defender for the rumoured £4m suggests our FFP stance has been a smokescreen/cover-up for something else (probably to get us the best deal possible for two centre halfs!).

I believe it all centres around the terms of the deals pal. Brentford wanted paying in full this season therefore impacting entirely on this seasons FFP? heerenveen are a cash rich club I'm lead to believe so potentially the terms of payment may suit us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that, but the value of the signing and whether it was worth doing as opposed to a lower value deal surely depends on how good the players we're getting is doesn't it?

I was saying if we are that close to FFP would we really be able to spend a reported 4 million on a player. Perhaps we arent as close as is being made out.
