beloved_aunt Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Trimming the squad seems to be the priority of the summer - but who makes the cut? Put the squad into these categories. 1. Sell at any price Fox, Boyd, Jones, Abdi, Matias 2. Sell only at the right price Westwood, Wildsmith, Palmer, JVA, Pudil, Thorniley, Lee, Hutchinson, Fletcher, Hooper, Winnall 3. Resist any offers for Dawson, Lees, Reach, Bannan, Forestieri, Nuhiu, Joao, Pelupessy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) You've got to laugh, Nuhiu bless him, didn't score for 18 months, had a decent end of the season and now he is indispensable. Whilst Westwood the best keeper in the league can go for the right price, only on owlstalk. Edited July 17, 2018 by Blue and white 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Given that we have already sold Hunt we don't want to sell any more right backs. That categorisation can be reviewed if we brought someone else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we could shift Fletcher in a way that clears all his wages (either on loan or permanent) that is the right price. But if someone wants to take him on loan but will only pay half his wages for example then I wouldn't take the deal. I think in general he has played well for us whenever available, its just that he's cost us too much and his position shouldn't have been the priority at the time we signed him.

He was brought in as an uprating of Nuhiu's position. At the time Atdhe was not scoring goals and was reviled by large sections of the fanbase. If we wanted promotion it was a logical signing even if we disagree on the wages (whatever they were) and the length of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, I think Nuhiu is a decent enough player and had a cracking end to the season but I don't think he is indispensable to the club, I don't think anyone is indispensable and firmly believe everyone has their price. For what it's worth I do honestly believe the Rhodes deal will bite us on the arse big style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjr2401 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Am I the only one who would resist any others for Lee and Hooper? They may have been prone to injuries recently, but Hooper has been our best forward for the last 3 years and our team looks twice as good with Lee in it.

If we wanted promotion it was a logical signing even if we disagree on the wages (whatever they were) and the length of contract. He was bought as an upgrade on Nuhiu, but Nuhiu's position in the squad was 4th choice striker behind Hooper, FF and Joao - and we'd been scoring goals for fun that season. Loovens was already ageing at the point, Pudil and Hunt had done well but weren't the very best and we had no natural pacey winger CC trusted. So if we'd invested some of that money at the back and on a top winger (you could aruge Reach got their eventually) instead of on Abdi and Loovens I think we'd have been better off. Having said that, I think Fletcher has done well for us when he's played - its just we should've never ended up with 6 strikers in the squad and a paucity of options at the back.

Mr. Chow Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Every player has a price. If a team with a lot of money are willing to spend what it takes they will get their man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
