MysticOwl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) As our prized asset right now......I doubt he will be going anywhere unless someone makes us an offer we cannot refuse. With no soft embargo until April, there is no reason to sell in January.....we can plod on in the hope of scraping 6th spot (we need a miracle). However, I suppose he could depart in the summer to get us out of the embargo if we needed cash. If we do get a soft embargo in April, this may impact us offering new deals to players. Westwood's contract is up in the summer I believe. Hooper's also. Edited January 22, 2019 by MysticOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frastheowl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think we'd sell him if we could. But I just don't see a side who'd pay what he's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I like reach. He's a good player. But the fact he is our 'prized asset' speaks volumes about the squad doesn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily a £15m player, given his age, his versatility and his technical ability. Now, if a club offered £10-12m, I'm not sure we could reject it...but even at that price, I don't see too many clubs who'd be interested in him and pay it. 1 minute ago, S36 OWL said: No one will offer us what he is worth because everyone knows we are desperate for money. I don't subscribe to that at all. There's a price for Reach, which would see the buying club getting a good deal AND Wednesday been able to satisfy the P&S predicament. Villa were REALLY desperate for cash in the summer...more so than we are now...but nobody came in for Grealish. The fact clubs are "desperate" for cash makes little difference in reality. Clubs still need to get value for money. And, there'll be a fair few clubs very similar to Wednesday...and the rest of the football league will know it. Chansiri's statement wouldn't have told the other teams anything they didn't already know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chansiri's statement wouldn't have told the other teams anything they didn't already know. If we are asking for 15m and he's in fact worth 15m there would be no issue selling him. Problem is that we probably want 15m for him and no club thinks he's worth in excess of 10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 if he is going he would go now when transfer values are inflated , you can easily get 25% more in this window than summer . only loans are value at this time of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonshire owl Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Dont worry,hooper will score six goals in march,giving him another two year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob1601 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Sell him if we can because if we get an embargo, soft or not it limits contract renewals too if we did want to renew anyone even on vastly reduced terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
