tarn owl Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Newspapers hey, keep churning out content, even if you just have to guess,make stuff up or copy and paste other papers stories. Easiest story to write in the world. Click bait. I don't agree with Trump on anything, but the phrase Fake news feels relevant. Here's my next story about how many clubs are keeping tabs on Bannan and Matias is gaining interest from Portugal (because he's portugese you see? ask me to name 5 portugese football teams and i can't but you don't know that). Reach might be sold, but this doesn't feel like a story based on facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 An English goal scoring midfield player who runs all day is worth far more than £10 million. He makes loads of runs and is not found as often with ball as he should be. He also closes down and puts real shift in. He was looking jaded in last match and you could see why from efforts in 4 previous games. The article I suspect is rubbish as Villa are trying to reduce wage bill and get players out in order to fund new centre back, full back and defensive midfield player who are all said to be required. In addition Abraham is leaving to join Wolves so will be looking for centre forward. They like us have a lot of aging players on high wages and need to move them on, Grealish had good year last year not playing as well this and star has waned somewhat so chances of cashing him on him have reduced considerably. I can not see us parting with Reach as he just about been our most regular goal scorer and in a team short of goals would be daft selling main source of them. I could see us selling many of others if bids came in if we need to generate cash.for new signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any lower than £15m would be very disappointing For evidence look at the fees of Josh Murphy and James Maddison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldino2004 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just now, maldino2004 said: Yeah all of that is fine and obviously all pluses, but what about is weakness in the tackle is unwillingness to engage in 50/5’s, is ability to give the ball away quite often whilst in advanced positions. I also happen to think that is distribution is poor. I personally thought that last season he was beginning to look like the player that no doubt we all hoped he would be but for me this season and especially of late he has showed too many frailties to be classed as a top class Championship player.

Would be great business....and if Wolves do want him stick another 5 million on. It doesn't make the slightest difference if it's cash up front or not. I know it does to the man in the street but to football clubs FFP relates to the accounts and cash is shown as a credit but so is money receivable in the future. If a club decides to buy another player it will be done on 'easy terms' anyway. Other than that £10m plus Hourihane would be a cracking deal.

pazowl55 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Reach is a player who alot of managers will be after. Can play in several positions. doesn't get injured. runs all day. and most importantly has the talent in his left foot to score wonder goals. No one will be getting Reach on the cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 22 minutes ago, SwissOwl8200 said: I'm all for strengthening the squad but the key word is 'strengthening'. If we sell Reach for 10 million we need someone better to replace him, say a 15 million player. And we're going to buy that player for what 6 million? How does that work? If on the other hand we're still buggered due to the P&S rules, then we have to accept that we need to sell him and buy whoever we can for considerably less money. Or buy nobody at all with the money. Isn't that more realistic? If we want to strengthen the squad it doesn't necessarily follow that we have to replace Reach with another player of his quality. We could for example look at our weakest positions say both full backs and a defensive midfielder* and buy up grades on all 3 positions. We are weaker by losing Reach but much stronger because we have improved 3 weak points in the team. *(pick your own weakest players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Does anyone know if there is a sell on clause for Reach as part of the deal when we signed him from Boro? Could be a factor in our valuation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The argument isn't about how much Reach is worth. It's whether or not our P & S situation means we need to sell him. If it does, then don't expect Bruce to see any of the money for immediate rebuilding because we won't be able to spend again until we are off the P & S radar. If our situation is such that we are okay with P & S then why sell at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? 10 million now in jan will fall into this years figures which would go along way to solving P&S for this year. If we got paid over 3 years we would only be able to account for a 3rd of it this year and show a 3 million projection for next year and the year after. We would then have to find another 7 million this year to bridge the gap with P&S for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 It just baffles me how there's people on here who would rather cling onto Forestieri and sell Reach, I'd rather get 5M for FF than take 10M for Reach. Derisory in todays market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom22709 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Footballers don’t have a value, they’re worth however much the buying club are willing to pay, if it’s a prem club coming in for Reach, we should rinse them for every dime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
