SiJ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 FFP dictates that we have to move someone on. If Reading are willing to splash a sizeable fee, then it's a no brainer. Shame in some respects, as he is extremely talented. Have to say I thought he'd attract better than Reading. Might be plying his trade in League One if he's not careful. It is also worth remembering that he was reported to have handed in a transfer request earlier in the summer, so perhaps he's forced our hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Depends on the transfer fee and who we use the money to get, if we can get Hector, a left back, a centre mid and maybe even another pacy winger (maybe 3 loans?), we could be much stronger as a team Edited August 5, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Chansiri we are talking about though and the guy has two or three years left on his contract. Reckon we will have got a decent amount for him.

RedSoxOwl Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Given that we are so lacking in flair and pace I am disappointed with this. Think we will regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I guess we should hope Joao’s performance down there encouraged DC to ask for more and Reading to be inclined to pay it. He’s talented but inconsistent we know that. I still think there will be coach’s out there thinking they can address that and be prepared to risk it.

SiJ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Weirdly, I'd be more annoyed if we sold him to one of the better teams in the division. For the life of me, I can't see the attraction of joining Reading. Pretty decent chance they are relegation fodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The flip-flopping on here is insane When we're not able to splash the cash on players we actually need it's always blamed on Chansiri never being willing to sell players when their stock is high. When we're seemingly about to receive serious cash for a player who, let's all be honest for a moment, puts in a performance every 5 appearances at best, we should be jumping for joy. Even if all this does is allow us to basically swap Joao for Hector then that is astoundingly good business, especially considering our overload on strikers and lack of CBs. It's that good of a deal I don't actually believe it could possibly happen. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I'll be livid if the fee is undisclosed because that usually means we've been shafted (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't a large number of fees undisclosed these days? Usually the press catch wind of ballpark figures, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazowl55 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Joao dont start for us and is always a bit hit and miss. Having said that we dont have a player like him that can change a game from the bench. Forestieri will have to step up I guess. But aslong as we ain't been ripped off with the fee then it's a good move. Allows us to get others more needed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
