Box_Man Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) The chairman said we are failing FFP / P&S by ‘8 figures’ so north of 10 million. That’s the hole that needs plugging THIS season never mind future projections. I’d sell FF for 3-5 million if we could get him off the wage bill Reach for 12 million and we would have had a good January, let Bruce plan for the exodus in the summer and go again next season.

sheffield_dave Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Villa are hysterical. £20m to them. If they want to bury themselves in an FFP hole without any care or regard for anything at all then we might as well let them bail us out of ours.

Buddy Repperton Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Bad idea selling to a "rival" club, plus 10 million not enough Imo. Don't believe the stir anyhow - blunt loving Wednesday haters!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 For those mentioning Fessi- there is no way any bids are going to be coming our way for him now, what with is injury record. That boat has sailed and we should have cashed in when we had the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai_Owl Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Not seen it mentioned we paid up to a reported 7m, plus there may be a sell on clause from Middlesborough........ 10 million no chance for a player coming here unproven and now a regular performer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Reach, is younger, and fitter, means he is a more saleable commodity Said all along, if we really do need to raise that sort of money, then Reach is the obvious candidate to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other player who will get us the kind of money we need to stave off FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 We should be looking in the region of £15m to £18m. If enough clubs are interested in him as rumoured, then a bidding war could see the fee reach that amount. Anything less, he should stay. That said, given Bruce’s ambitions for the club, I can’t believe he’d come here only to have his best player sold before he’s even started. More likely if Reach is going anywhere, it’ll be in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs always pay over the odds in January when they are desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps us stay within the limits of the FFP and allows us to bring in some extra reinforcements, then I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyCraig Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfers-news-steve-15643929.amp £10m. Go and do one Villa, nowhere near enough. Double it then we might be talking. Also nice to see the Brum local is as bad the Star. Read their article, second half of it is Paul Walker discussing Reach but he's actually talking about Jordan Rhodes. Lazy barsteward journos.
