You won’t replace a hard working left footed player who can play in 2/3 positions and score goals for any kind of money Wednesday have got. plus he’s not really playing in midfield at the moment- he’s in a 3 behind a striker.

Holmowl Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Who would Jos want to keep? Reach 1078 minutes this season. 4595 minutes last season. FF 616 minutes this season. 627 minutes last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'd want to keep reach but i'd back FF to score more goals than reach and goals win matches . ...it's tricky one thats why whoever fetches the most money would swing it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S36 OWL Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Reach is nailed on to start every game , Fessi isnt ,as has been seen this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I’d say from a neutral standpoint that Bannan is probably our most prized asset and likely to command the biggest attention and fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clear discipline and application are massive to Jos. Even today’s comment about Lucas must work hard in training after scoring a brace!

Blue and white Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If we get offers of crazy money for both then I would seriously hope the club take it. That money along with the out of contract players will put us on a seriously good footing and may even help us avoid and further problems with FFP. Hopefully the club will learn from this and move forward with it's new transfer policy and we avoid wasting money like we have. Or we gamble on keeping them and pushing for promotion, should that fail we are fizzed financially and teams will know that so will come in with derisory bids for key players knowing we need money and we will lose key players for pennies. I know what is the best one for the club and it means us taking a step back to move forward with a big big lesson learnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GY-owl.4 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Penney, Thorniley, Dawson, Lees, Bannan, Nuhiu, Westwood, Reach, FF, Baker, Wildsmith, Winnall, Joao, Matias, Palmer, Joey could all have one or two interested party and to a man, based on what they cost, would make the club a tidy profit if sold. Rhodes wouldnt fetch what we paid for him, neither Abdi, but cant think of many more... Jones i suppose, pudil but he has done well for us for what weve paid. oh and someone on last page said accept £7m for FF.... no chance based on what Madine cost Cardiff.

sMacLean Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Wouldn't be fussed at all to see Forestieri go. Winnall and hopefully Hooper to come back. He can be trouble and January sales are usually reserved for players that can push top of the league teams over the promotion line. It means you can charge a premium. Reach is a good player but can't see anyone like a West Brom thinking he's the final piece of the puzzle over half a season. Build the team around Reach.

Sure and we won’t replace FF either. Given a choice Reach would be easier to replace, obv not like for like but maybe with someone who brings something we are missing. We have quite a few players that can play behind the striker and at left back now so in theory we would just need to replace his availability in midfield. Bannan is more than capable of playing as a hard working midfielder in the left of a three and did so very well for a few season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are missing size, strength and aggression. At the moment we are doing well so I don’t see the need to change anything or anyone, however the op gave a choice between two.

Guest wilyfox Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Pretty obvious who Jos would choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 In my opinion Reach might fetch more if he's in the same form as he has been for the last few games. Decent age, English, can still improve. Seems to be a level headed lad, could see him captaining a side at some point. Could see a Burnley or a club in a similar position taking a chance on him.

pazowl55 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It's rumoured we have already turned down 9 million for Reach last season. So I would dread to think what someone would have to pay now. My guess a lot more than they would for Forestieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I would even go as far as saying if you offered all premier league mangers there choice of Reach or Forestieri tomorrow for free. I ain't so sure many would say Forestieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get offers of 15m+ for both then you would seriously hope the club will snatch whoever's hands off. That would be 30m+ to appease FFP and start the rebuild.

Think we would take 10 million for Forestieri all day long. but just say Reach is not for sale at any any price. they maybe be swayed if anyone offered around the 25 million mark.
