Players like Jones, Stobbs, Kirby, Jack Lee, Rce and others need game time. For too long now we have had unrealistic expectations of what our players are worth or how much we expect from any loan deal (it nearly scuppered the Rhodes to Norwich deal). DC needs a reality check. The key to getting out of this FFP nonsense lies with player sales not fan loans. Yep, shame there are no DC's and Doyen's at other clubs willing to pay over the odds for hasbeens like Jones, Abdi, Rhodes - we seem to be on the wrong side of both e.g. pay ridiculous money for gash, undersell our best players if and when we do sell (e.g Antonio, Brunt). We even lost money on Hunt who was a Champ first team right back who cost us north of 2m GBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we certainly have to be more realistic about covering wages, and it’s important that those players are playing games. Too early for Rice though, but he definitely needs to step up to the U23s, and would be able to, if we sent some of the others out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenitoCarbone Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Most probably mentioned elsewhere, but think it would be hard for Guiseppe Rossi to find a Premier League club willing to take a bet on him. Would he be tempted by a pay as you play contract in the Championship? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he be tempted by a pay as you play contract in the Championship? Too big a risk. He's made of biscuits and probably want's at least 80k a week. I think the fact he's still without a club says a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we made a profit (only small) on Hunt though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
