If we do let Joao go I hope it is too a club like Benfica and not to someone in England Rhodes to Norwich is good, Forestieri will probably have a blinder for someone else next season which will be annoying I trust Bruce to sort us out completely If ff goes anywhere itll be Fulham so yea hell probably be best player in the league for them lol.

TrickyTrev Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) With regards to FFP I can see the sense in letting Rhodes and Forestieri leave the club (although personally I’d be gutted to see Fessi go) but is Hugill any better than Joao? I know Joao has had issues with his consistency but when he got a run of games under his belt under Luhukay he looked a very good striker at this level. I would however treat Nixon’s story with caution, it was clear last season the Bruce wasn’t a fan of Winnall so why he’s not been added to the list of strikers Bruce wants rid of is a little strange to me.

Joao can't be arsed 50% of the time and wants to go Benfica, Forestieri's hamstrings are knackered, he will play a max of 20 games next season I'm sure and Rhodes dosent want to be here and his wages are hideous. Get them gone. Agree, Joao has ability but just isn't consistent and too often anonymous in games. FF hasn't really been the same player for a couple of years, shown glimpses but hampered by niggling injuries and daft suspensions. I'd also guess that his wage isn't too far behind Rhodes as one of the top earners. Think we (mostly) all agree Rhodes needs to go.

I’m not sure where Forrestieri will end up, if anywhere else this season? I still think Rhodes will end up at Norwich. They want him and it would seem he wants to go there?

S36 OWL Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Fessi is entering last year of his contract , and if isnt in Bruces plans he need to go now so we can get a fee for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point could see that happening and Rhodes to Norwich. Not so sure we'll find a new home for FF and can see him running down his contract.

SallyCinnamon Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 To be fair I thought Hugill was a handful for Preston. But since his move to West Ham he’s not done much. Very similar to a fletcher, holds the ball up, bullies defenders but not an out and out goal scorer. If we’re going to trade the 3 players we are for him, I’d hope there’s another forward on Bruce’s list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we would! however I'd like to think we will sign one maybe two who can change games and have abit of showmanship and hopefully be consistent with it. Time will tell I suppose!

Night King Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Some good points made about Forestieri been in the last year of his contract. Think his value has dropped significantly after another poor season by his standards. Somebody would take a gamble at 5 or 6 million and the sooner we can get rid of Rhodes wages the better, I’d even take a minimal fee or another loan and João is is definitely ready for a move. Again someone would gamble for 3 or 4 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I don’t share the hilarity about Joao playing for Benfica myself. There’s no money in Portugal these days and their expectations of doing well in the champions league is the same as in Scotland. Their clubs main priority now is develop young players and sell them and build cheap squads that can win their domestic competitions. Joao on their bench wouldn’t look out of place in their domestic games. I wouldn’t be surprised if we sold Joao to a club like Benfica for about £3m. But clearly Chansiri is pushing for up to £8m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, when creating this thread, which is definitely not a mega-thread, I already knew about the increased player budget. As Snodgrass said 2-3 months ago, speaking to Uncle Biggsy, “I have a bit of banter with the Wednesday fans, and Wednesday are a great club. I would never say no to playing for a great club like Wednesday, and playing for Steve Bruce is a no-brainer, he’s a great manager and anyone would jump through hoops to play for that manager and club combo. Who knows, me and my agent were talking about a possible move this summer, let’s see what happens.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I think we have to bite the bullet and start letting players go. This should free up at least 90k per week in wages and realistically we should get circa 10m for these 3 Hugill is an upgrade on Nuhui so strengthens that bit of the forward line. Providing Bruce is given the rest of the money to bring in another pacey forward then I’m all for it These 3 scored approx 20 league between them last season whereas players like Pukki, Sharp etc were getting more than 20 by themselves. We can’t be carrying passengers any longer The money could also allow us to bid for Hector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
