Bouncing Owl Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I understand we paid £5m fee plus £2m in add ons. If someone comes in with a £12m fee plus add ons we should take it given our current position. However, you just don’t know what Chansiri has up his sleeve re; FFP. The Bruce managerial appointment suggests to me that it maybe not all doom and gloom. I really like Adam Reach. He is a very good all round footballer. He is always available to play and hes just one of those footballers who is a total professional and is very well grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Sooner keep Reach than FF. Overall offers so much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Surely we will be looking to release players who aren't considered first team material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said you have to have someone who wants to buy them or take them before you can get rid of surplus to requirement players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Just now, squonk said: As has been said you have to have someone who wants to buy them or take them before you can get rid of surplus to requirement players I used the word released, we would be better served to keep hold of our better players and hope that the new manager can mold them into a promotion side. I can't see DC spending two million on a manager just to tread water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Sell Reach, and while we're at it, sell FF, BB, KW, and Joao.. That will let us buy some more crap and probably let us win a few League 1 Matches.. This is typical Wednesdayite thinking AT ALL TIMES. Buy a player relatively cheaply by today's prices, get him fully fit, up and running, scoring freely, making himself almost a match winner on his own, and almost indispensible. THEN SELL HIM irrespective of FFP or such. Its the Wednesday way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't cash in when stocks are high, and instead wait until players are out of form and no longer in demand, and receive only a fraction of what we could have received, and then struggle both with financial rules and obligations, as well as bringing in a replacement to fill the gap? We are not a profitable club and NEED either promotion to the Premier League, or to sell players, to generate funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksmore Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Only a week or so ago there was a thread on here about how bang average he is, now some people think he's worth £20m! He would really struggle in the premier league. No big team is coming in for him, which means it's the likes of cardiff, palace, newcastle etc where he will have to dig in and show some fight, something he's not very good at. Reach is a good player in a team doing well, playing freely and with positive players around him. Edited December 27, 2018 by hawksmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our only asset of significant value. No, we can sell Jordan Rhodes for 4m am sure some mugs'll have him. Ps Reach worth 20m at least esp if we were holding out for 6m for Westwood Edited December 27, 2018 by DuttyTeabags Reachround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is to sell and buy at the right time like the stock market i guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Sure it was 5 as well from boro. Wouldn't take anything less than 12m. If other teams can do it why can't we. Edited December 27, 2018 by Mardy Bum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s £5m then it’s best bit of business we’ve done in a long long time, and hopefully DC sees that it’s that kind of recruitment i.e not aged crocks, that makes for a sustainable club. It’s that bloody Wilder again isn’t it! Did he tell you that Reach cost us £8m and is on £40k p/w? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
