Shop Window

[TodwickOwl]

Great result - but that shop window opens up in less than a week, are we going to hang onto our best players if some offers come in? 

[alanharper]

We simply can't. We've known all season that we need to raise some money in this upcoming window. However better recent form may up the price a little.

 

 

[Swiss Toni]

I'd like to think yes but who knows?!

[Morepork]

I'm not going to threat about that. We are long overdue a squad overall and selling our best players with a brief of constantly improving the squad overall is really how you'd expect us to operate. 

[Guest LittleG]

I used to watch the football results on a Saturday in a shop window 

[gurujuan]

Can’t see us getting rid of our better players, we are only 9 points off the play offs Can see a couple going out, maybe Jones and Fletcher If we can offload Van Aken, who is well thought of in Holland, then that might also be a possibility

[Blue and white]

That will be up to Chansiri and Bruce.

[BARMYARMY2010]

Not sold anyone of note,for anything like a decent fee,while Chansiri has been here,can't see that changing to be honest.

But we HAVE to make up the shortfall on our finances this year....

[agentwalker]

Not too sure myself. You get the impression at times that we need to. However can you honestly see Bruce coming in knowing he's potentially got to sell some of his top players and not be able to replace then with similar quality?

Think if it was that desperate, we wouldn’t be offering that sort of money for Bruce

Wouldn't lose any sleep if we sold FF. Reach seems to be our main man these days. I suspect if Bruce is to be the next manager, he will want keep Bannan, Westwood and Joao.

I can't see any sensible bids coming in for any of the others.

[DuttyTeabags]

We save a lot of money at end of season when big earners go. 

 

Glad we've put this little run together now as going to be critical to keeping / attracting new players. 

 

Gives Bruce the opp to say to likes of Westwood, Bannan, Reach, FF, "we're on the up lads come on give it a shot" and same to potential Prem loanees. 

 

Honestly I don't think we need to sell this window although be good if someone paid 1m each for Boyd and Jones :)

According to the WW podcast we need to raise at least 8 to 10 mil to get straight i think. Things might have changed a bit and it's not an exact science. Ignoring this isn't an option.

If Bruce needs some cash fir wages too we prob need between 12 and 15m coming.

Unless someone's desperate for Nando, only Reach could command anything like that. Selling Reach is the only credible business thing to do. We will of course miss his goals and assists but we have to sell to start again with a changed squad and smaller wage bill next season. 

[Bigblueowl]

Bruce will have made some demands on who he wants to keep I would have thought.

Every ray of sunshine holds a dark cloud for some people.

£15m Reach would plug the gap.

 

But.....if we win the next 3 games in a row and close that gap to the play offs.

 

It will cause DC some headache in January as to if we should sell him. 

[Orlando_Trustful]

Reach and wee Barry are the ones to go I fear. £15M+ would sort us out financially. Then it’s up to Big Brucie to use his contacts.
