Adam Reachs left peg Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Nobody is gonna take fletcher 40000 a week and injury prone, Abdi never plays and needs to be paid off or loaned to some foreign side, Jones is past it, palmer can go on loan I’d keep fox as cover best we can have for is releasing them at end of next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was lined up in January but they wanted us to pay a % of his wage that we thought too steep. I saw the writing on the wall on Saturday. We're 4-0 up after 60 minutes and have our record signing sat on the bench. If he was part of the plans for next year and supposedly suffering a crisis of confidence then what better circumstance to come on for 30 minutes and score a couple. The fact that we brought Palmer and Matias on rather than Rhodes speaks volumes. He's off, no doubt about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Maybe there’s a slim chance that we might be able to sell Rhodes to Stoke now They’re managed by Lambert, and of course they have those parachute payments They might be thinking his goals might fire them straight back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Whilst his injuries and age are a concern I do think that Fletcher has been a useful player for us since he's arrived. Obviously if a decent off came in it'd be foolish not to take it, but he's hasn't been the flop that's being hinted at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxonOwl Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 IMHO being an unused sub isn't necessarily an indication that a player is on his way out, especially an unused forward when we are a few goals up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movement of the front three on Saturday was excellent, and that’s what we should be looking for Not sure that Fletcher can provide that Hooper and Matias are also pretty mobile, so maybe I’d be looking to add one more to the group Another with pace, would be my preference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Maybe with a different approach, training methods and an improvement in overall fitness the said players could be important for next seasons campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Davies Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Maybe they will play really well and give a sh-it in the last 6 months of their contracts after 4 years of doing sod all, then we will be singing their names and begging them to stay!

Bluesteel Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 2 hours ago, A12owl said: Fletcher Nuhiu Rhodes Jôao Hooper Forestieri Winnal (still belongs to us) That's 7 strikers. We cannot afford them all. A maximum of 4 is probably all we need and can afford assuming Jos plays 3 up front. There is probably an U23 who could play in injury emergencies . It's unlikely that Jos can keep 7 strikers happy with playing time. For me it would be Nuhiu Jôao Hooper Forestieri I would hope that Jos could get Rhodes back to his old form but if it came to having to reduce wages then I would regrettably get rid of Rhodes . Possibly on a loan so that in a years time he could come back or be sold dependant on how he has performed . It all depends on what formation Jos has in mind and how many we can realistically afford to keep without jeapordising strengthening elsewhere. Interesting times ahead . I think Winnall will move but in the revised formation we play we can have 3/4 strikers on the pitch. Nuhiu, Rhodes or Fletcher up front with FF, Hooper and Joao able to play in the space behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple answer is we won't unless we subsidise a move elsewhere and expect them to run their contracts down. Fox is the more likely to be able to move on given his age and presumably his contract would not be unattainable for most other teams in the league. That said, Jos gave him a run of games, so maybe he views him differently to the majority of the fan base? Also think we might be open to offers for other players, Palmer, Rhodes for example who seem to be bit part players under Jos, even when fit. I'd be interested to see Fletcher given a go though if he can get fit. Jos has done well with Nuhiu as the central focal point and think this might suit Fletcher's game too, so could be a good fit in Jos' preferred formation.

gurujuan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Fletcher, Rhodes and Winnall are not good enough footballers to have anything but bit part roles We saw the way forward on Saturday Put any of those three in that front line, and the whole thing would have broken down Edited May 9, 2018 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Fletcher is a crock and ageing , a symbol of exactly where the mistakes were made . He has a few good games granted but he’s on mega money and nuihu has been far better this season. We are stuck with him though so hopefully he will at least contribute this time round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Joao in the mix and with it being quite clear that Jos sees Matias as a striker. I don't think goals are going to be the probem they have previously. Genuinly think that centre half will remain priority. I know that money is going to be tight but I expect we'll be making sure Venancio is the main target before we start looking at the top end of the pitch.
