steelcityowlsfan Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Ok today’s result is still raw but if we really are as poor as some suggest with the defence taking the lions share of criticism then with 45 games still to go and given the financial situation is it time to sacrifice a star player? We all know Westwood is going but I’m talking trying to recoup 10-20 million with a couple of player sales. I know it will hurt like f**k but if we sold Reach and Forestieri say for 15 million plus, might we be able to bring in 4 or 5 good players loans or or permanent transfers and re-build this team? The only problem we have is now it’s known we are effectively under an embargo, clubs will try and have our pants down for our players. It’s a real mess right now isn’t it?

SiJ Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 15 million plus? Not a chance. Not saying Nando isn't worth that, but o doubt anyone would stump up that sort of money. Clubs will also be fully aware of our financial woes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and white Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Can we start with the Chairman, owner, clown or what ever you want to call him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjr2401 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Sacrifice a star or two and we become a weakened side. We might as well give it a go this season. Selling your best players just shows a lack of ambition and we don't want to risk being even worse than we have been for the last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF we can, then we need to hang onto Nando, Bannan and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are over the FFP limit with serious holes in the squad. Who wants to see Palmer at RB all season?

matthefish2002 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 If SWFC were going to sell a couple of star players they should have done it a start of close season not now. Would be seen as a fire sale and very little time to bring in renforcements before transfer windows closes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an argument for it, but it would stick in my craw if we ended up selling Forestieri, while subsidising the catalyst for all of this down at Norwich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Reach ain't a star in this team ,just average footballer who looks good with soon of crapp he plays with- £6 million max Fernando -sell him and might as well give up this season Bannan-not a fan but we don't have owt better in midfield ,keep Lees-we're are shocking enough at back ,keep Cash in on reach ,easy replaceable for what he offers ,cheaper players on less wages miles better than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeverleyOwl74 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Sell the fecking lot and play the under 23's. Not fit to wear the shirt, no passion, no will to win, no effort. Might sound dramatic to some but to some it isn't just a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Depends how much it frees up. If losing those two allowed us to bring in two or three young lads on loan then we’d probably go down or close to it. If it allowed for restructuring then we’ve left it a bit late as everyone has moved. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two you mention are two we should keep under any circumstances they were ok today. I think we can make do with loan players so do not think loads of dosh required. If Westwood goes we may be ok who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xxxxxxxxcxcc Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Assuming Hooper is not a million miles away then in FF, Nuhiu, Fletcher, Hooper and Joao we are possibly over endowed in attack, certainly balanced against the defence where we're dangerously lacking. I honestly can see no way out other than wheeling and dealing. Good player Hooper but I suspect we'd have sacrificed him this window if other clubs thought he was fit.

It’s a real mess right now isn’t it? selling stars only works with the right recruitment team bringing in replacements,we aint very good at it are we?if we looked at 200 centre halves and ended up with Van Aken,well no more words required imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
