hawksmore Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 17 minutes ago, A12owl said: Norwich sold James Maddison to Leicester for £25m. Reach has to be worth at least £15 - 20m on that basis. Still wouldn't want him to go. It's taken him a couple of years to establish himself in our team and would probably take a new player the same. I think like Bannan he is happy here. Contracted to us till June 2021. Maddison is an exceptional player and young too, he will certainly play regularly for England Reach will never play for England and he’s not worth £15m.

East Yorks Owl Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 34 minutes ago, Beholder said: Selling Yr best players to fund a promotion drive is like cutting off yr arms to make you run faster. I suppose it depends on what fee you get for your player. Our recruitment has been poorly managed in recent years with over recruitment in certain positions (forwards especially) and under recruitment in others such as full backs. If one or two big sales allows the new manager to rebalance the squad and hopefully improve the financial situation then so be it. Personally I’d prefer to see others go before Reach as I really like the lad, but I guess it all boils down to money at the end of the day.

How much did Cardiff pay for Madine ? 6m was it ? Based on that and that alone Reach must be worth at least 10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeadonowl Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 January is always the window for inflated premium prices. Teams trying to stay in the premiership and teams wanting to go up tends to push prices up A team like Fulham night takes punt between 12m-15m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 37 minutes ago, alanharper said: I wouldn't be surprised if he was sold in January, but if a deal was already lined up there's no way he'd have even been in the squad yesterday. Yep, there would have been no chance of him playing if a move was already in the pipeline. I can see it happening though if a decent bid is made. We have been in a situation before when we have refused bids for players and have subsequently seen their value plummet fairly quickly due to injuries or inconsistent performances. If selling 1 or 2 of our best players for premium prices means we don't have to suffer a similar situation to last summer next year then it is surely something the club will now consider.

This is exactly what I mean. It's about cashing in at the right time. Then using that profit wisely to reinvest in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 If a player has a tight hamstring, its simply wise to take him off before it goes...otherwise you are looking at him missing matches...simply common sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
