Im not just looking for profit though. Im talking deals where we actually thought that was great business for us. Instead of run of the mill mediocre or just down right awful ones.

Guest Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Reference Hector .. I’d argue we’re a bit more short in central midfield than we are at centre half , hope we prioritise and don’t just make signings for sake of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Kieffer Moore who has never transferred his goals in league one to the championship at the point of sale went for 4m didn’t he? If we have sold Joao for 5m then is it really that good? We’ve been forced to sell at base rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 To me this is the right decision. Cant hang around forever hoping his flashes of talent turn into something more consistant. Squad needs freshening up and club has ran into well documented problems recently because we hang onto players and don't sell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got all the attributes and potential but after 4 years he should be producing! Let's use this money to go get Hector, a winger and maybe a midfielder! Guessing we need to shift Rhodes too for a similar amount. But 5m will not get us much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Why can’t we sell our rubbish players for loads of money and balance the books that way??? Ffs. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 People thinking we are gonna spend any of this money might need to check their expectations. This money (once doyen have taken their slice ?) will go some small way towards trimming our debt , all this probably gives us is some wiggle room on wages.........loans only i would have thought.

I think if Rowett got the job then Winnall would get a run in the team but if Bullen gets it, I don't see that being the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector and a couple of quality season long loan signings and it would be a great bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HootHoot Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Saw that Reading have also waived the sell-on fee for Hector too as part of the deal. Not sure how legit that it though. If that's the case, then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
