The Night-Owl Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If selling the likes of Rhodes and Winnall, allowed us to keep Joao, plus bring in the likes of Hector and Marcus Maddison, along with some loan players? That would strengthen us and would give us a decent chance of doing well this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If all rumoured deals come off, could be a decent window financially. Notwithstanding the FFP nuances of any Rhodes deal, £4m for Bruce, 4m for Rhodes and £8m for Joao could see us looking rather healthier FFP wise and we've not lost any first team regulars (biggest loss was the manager, but that's done now) £16m or thereabouts in fees, plus c£4-5m in wages back into the budget could fund 2 or 3 loans, plus hopefully Hector.

Owls-Fan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I’d sooner sell Rhodes to Norwich for £4m and Winnall to Barnsley for £2m and keep Joao. Then buy Hector and get some decent PL youngsters on loan (LB, DM + winger). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 If Rhodes does leave for around 4 million (surprised if we get that much) I hope we can use the majority of the money to bring in some exciting loan players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Loaning Joao would be fookin' nuts. Not in favour of that one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 For me 4mil is the magic number for Rhodes. Clears what we still owe and gets him out. So I'm hoping that Nixon snippet is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Losing Joao and Rhodes without a replacement coming in would be bad business in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, if both left I'd like to think we bring in another forward, with pace. Most likely on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 £4m and getting those wages off the wage bill would be an immense deal. Considering he cost us nothinglast season, we might have got out of this overall deal in not too bad a shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I’m convinced we wont get anywhere near £4m for Rhodes. I think we would be lucky to get £3m - its a big financial package for Norwich including Jordan’s wages for a player that is likely to play only a small role off the bench.

Morepork Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Struggling for words to express how excited I would be if we achieved a player sale. Breaking new ground Not excited about seeing Joao go anywhere, sooner we kept him so he could continue to frustrate us....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Apolon Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 The only point in selling Joao, in my opinion, would be because there has been genuine interest in his services as opposed to any other of our saleable assets. On the balance of it all, selling what is on the face of it a squad player for 8m is good business However, I'm not sure we have any other players with similar attributes in the squad and unless a replacement is lined up who we can bring on I can't see benefit of it. I've always liked Joao and his record here is not dissimilar to fletchers really. Yes it is in flashes and bursts but that's why he is squad rather than first team. It's a difficult one whereby there are pros and cons to selling like any player. But it boils down to 8m vs 10 goals in a season and a 5th year of POTENTIALLY then I would sell. Maybe, and this is a BIG maybe, Bullen has seen someone (and cabbage patch doll before him) in the youth squad for the step up. My knowledge is sparse on the younger players to be fair!

Quist Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Think Rhodes and one out of Winnall and Joao are moving on.. We need somebody real quick to add to Harris and much more energy and strength in midfield. Defence also looks thin if we get injuries. Beginning to worry about our ability to bring right players in.

fpowl Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Getting 4 million for Rhodes for us would be decent Hes only going to be another part player and on big wages in a bloated department despite looking sharp I’d snap their hands off for that, the next we should look to move out up from would be winnal even if it’s on loan I see no future for him that would balance out the strikers then we need cover at CB bringing hector in would be great and give who ever our manager is a real headache with Borner and lees since we’re playing 3 in midfield we definitely need a CM in if I’m greedy ( it won’t happen 2 ) the way we are lining up I think another wide Man who can get at teams is critical one reach or Harris leave the team we are massively lacking, Burke would be ideal and cheap I think to either buy or loan if we can strike a deal Aaron’s loan? Can’t see Newcastle doing business with us Two positions I know are not in the agenda and would depend on moving players on would be a left back and and another forward for me this would complete our squad and catapult us to top two challenges but it would relay on moving on players such as Joao and fox nobody’s taking fox on but if carlsberg did transfer windows and Newcastle wanted to trade with us a cheeky cheap treble swoop on loan or purchase or mixture of Gayle, Lazaar and Aaron’s with hector and another CM coming in and Joao Rhodes Fox and winnal going out would be immense oh but I forget who’s chomping at the bit to trade with us or come in without a permanent manager in place. I feel this will and already has majorly hampered our dealings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
