richowl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 None of our remaining strikers have the talent & technical ability that Joao possesses. Antonio used to receive the same stick about his work rate (some of it justified on both accounts) and we all know how that ended up. 5m-7m is a great price for reading imo.

BarnsleyOwl96 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Why won’t hector happen? Even bullen said there’s a chance in him coming back so we must be looking , Hector + another for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but don’t think joao will end up like Antonio but we will see , at this moment 6million is a good fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason he spends most of his time on the bench due to attitude and consistency despite his undoubted talent. Fair point but he has improved a lot since joining and is worth about 10 goals a season from the bench. Someone gets him firing and they sell for 3 times what we are. I hope we have guarded against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lees gets injured would you be comfortable with Iorfa/Borner or any other combination. Taking a big risk not signing another decent centre half imo.

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 At least if we sell Joao we might get some money we can reinvest. Never going to happen with Rhodes as we still 'owe' around £4m, at least from an accounting point of view. But Joao's been here 4 years already so his amortisation should be done by now. So it will be money coming into the accounts, unlike Rhodes. Whether we can actually spend it though is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worksop Wednesday Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Guess he probably wants to go Think back to the video footage with Chansisri All of his fellow countrymen have gone and Reading have a Portugese manager and are offering us cash we need Our sentiments for him increased after Saturdays goal but if we were still in May and Bruce was supporting the move we'd all back it . Innit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARMYARMY2010 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 13 minutes ago, Bing Cosby said: The only thing Joao has proved consistently is his inconsistence. He's an extremely talented boy, but successive managers have been unable to get him to kick on from his cameo performances. He'll light a game up from the bench and then start the next one on merit and not look arsed... Its beyond frustrating. If we could afford to, he'd probably be best kept as an impact player, we may have decided that was the plan, but if the player has said he wants to leave then I'm afraid that forces the club's hand. Get a decent fee, reinvest to balance to the squad and leave him to be an enigma for someone else. Funny that not 5 pages ago, there was somebody blaming the "mismanagement" of him by consecutive managers.........opinions, opinions. Decent fee (supposedly) see ya Lucas.

waddleisgod Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If Madine is worth 6M then we should be getting nearer 10M Neither player are worth anything like that btw but that’s the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Maybe Joao will command a fee much bigger than Nuhiu and Winnall combined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Madine wasn't and isn't worth what Cardiff paid, well apart from helping two clubs receive millions from promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Would prefer to keep Joao, a player with so much ability, a much better option than Winnall or Nuihu. However we need to do what's in the best interest of SWFC, and if selling Joao creates funds to strengthen in other area's then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If Joao wants to leave and the money is being offered, we do right to move him on. Just a shame because I think Joao could realise his potential this season. He’s at the right age now. Good luck to the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnich Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 why is that that virtually none of our signings or sales have a disclosed fee? Yes we are given a rough amount or it comes out in the wash but everyone else seems to publish the fees. Why is it always such a secret with us?

SallyCinnamon Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Also if we sell Joao, Hector shouldn’t be the top priority. Need to find a winger or an attacker who has pace and trickery. Should look at splashing our cash there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
