I wonder if part of the problem is that we've overpaid for several players, so it skews our entire perspective on value in the current market? I mean, if you're happy to pay £4m a piece for Abdi and van Aaken, then it's not hard to see why you might conclude that João is worth a fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice lad as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one thing I’m really hoping changes, I know everyone is mad for incoming signings over the summer but one of the biggest things I think the chairman has got wrong is not selling a few when he perhaps should have for the long term interest of the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say if we were to sell Reach, Forestieri and Joao, they'd fetch a combined sum of £12m at least, possibly heading north of £15m with add ons etc... Think how much breathing room that could buy us - and I wouldn't actually describe any of those three as irreplaceable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcclesallOwl Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 We’d be stupid to accept anything less than £10m for Reach We paid £5m for him when he’d accomplished a lot less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) Sell FF (Fulham, Villa, Cardiff) Rhodes (Huddersfield), Winnall (Barnsley), Fox (?), Reach (? Wolves, West Brom) Going on past clubs, past rumours, or mere speculation. If we could get $15m for this lot then I think we’ll have done well. Get in free agents and loans.

Sham67 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 It always make me chuckle when I read the wildly exaggerated valuations of our signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT jack whitham Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Is Sammie Szmodics at Colchester worth a look?..hard working midfielder who scores goals, only 23 and could replace Lee, Bournemouth interested in him earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, that list represents everything that is wrong in football How a club can be allowed to stockpile some of the country's brightest young talent is nothing short of obscene I know it will never happen, but I wish the loan market was abolished, then players like the ones on the above list would think twice before signing long contracts with clubs that can never give them a first team place.
