So we have to stop this pathetic sentimental attachment to players, particularly those who have not consistently featured for the last 2 years. I think some fans are so desperate for a hero that common sense goes out the window 29, injury prone and I still have reservations again his attitude id sell for as little as £8M Edited January 27, 2019 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Reach is a good left back? Is that his best position? Course reach isn't as good at left back my point is he is a player we must have on the pitch so we will put him where ever we can rather than drop him. On his day Forestieri is better than anyone. But just like Ozil, you get them days less and less all the time. Unless we get 10m for Forestieri them I wouldn't let him go. As to buy a player with similar qualities would cost you the same. We just need to see more of the Forestieri from 2 years ago. Hopefully Bruce can get him back to that. As I am convinced he won't want to sell him which maybe why we see the 14m price tag.

I really hope it hasn't given him ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Don’t get this Reach v FF debate FF is clearly the better player but hasn’t been on the pitch anywhere near enough recently. When he has been on the pitch he’s pretty much always our biggest threat. Him being in the pitch as a big difference in the style of the opposites. Only Joao can rival him in that IMO. No coincidence that in the 2 seasons we’ve hardly seen him we’ve been pretty abysmal. You can’t sell FF for less than top dollar because he’s going to cost an absolute fortune to replace. Which we haven’t done in the time he’s been injured, and that’s why we’re crap when he’s missing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I can just see that we sell him and the Bruce rocks up on 1st Feb and in his first presser says. ’FF is a top player, a real talent. We’ll have to work on getting him in the right areas’ Old habits die hard 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticowl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 DC to SB on 1st Feb, “Hi Steve, just to let you know that I’ve sold Fessi, Reach and Bannan, I was sure that you wouldn’t mind, what’s wrong Steve, where are you going?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Forestieri wasn’t happy under the last manager. How good was he the first few games when he was doing his thing. Jos wanted a team role which shackled him, plus there was no communication. FF allowed to do what he does best is a beast in this league and I think Bruce understands that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendaryswan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Id hate to see FF leave,as has been said already hel be the hardest to replace,guess this is the price you pay for mismanagement of the coffers. 14M wouldnt ease the pain either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningaround Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The leaked valuation is the opening price of negotiation imo. I think an offer of 10m would be more than good enough for a player who’s never fit or available these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last 2 years he has been a disaster for us. He owes the club big time. The thread is about Forrestieri being available for 14m allegedly. Not whether we are happy with him or if he's been a disaster or if he owes the club. But thanks for confirming what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also some people might need to remember that solving FFP would just put us back to square one as opposed to having £10/15m available. I think back to square 1 is all people are hoping for.

To me it says, we are asking for 14m, not that we've been offered it, two different things. I agree with you. We may want 14million but realistic price 6 million with the lack of football over last 2 years plus a questionable attitude. Do rate him but I would take 6 million rather than nothing in 18 months.

sonofbert2 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Not sure what's dafter....that we're supposedly asking so much or the fans saying take it if it's offered..... We'd be lucky to get 4m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 2 hours ago, agentwalker said: Realistically I can't see any of the big players going. Put yourself in Bruce's shoes, would you accept a managers job knowing that your best players are going to be sold off? I don't buy all the "I bought the players to avoid relegation" talk from DC, Bruce is a promotion manager, not a "Keep us up manager". We might well be in the sheet financially and have to sell but I'm still not 100% convinced yet that we're in serious trouble like DC is making out. The big thing for me is what the football league are going to do with Birmingham, why are they stalling? are they waiting for the possibility that Birmingham might get promoted and they don't have to do a thing? why not a fine and big points reduction now so they then know where they stand in the league? It would be a huge kick in the teeth if we go out of our way, selling players to get within the FFP rules, then the football league do sweet FA to Birmingham. Birmingham are expecting a decision in February & are bracing themselves for a possible points deduction plus further transfer embargos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
