Adem Poric Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 2 minutes ago, oh_weds_we_love_you said: I'll be pleasantly surprised if the sales are to re-invest in the likes of Hector (assuming the fee offers value), but I sense it's more to come in line with P&S. Fully expecting any incomings to be loan deals (and Hector won't be loaned in the last year of his contract). If (when) Rhodes goes we will have chopped a large number off the balance sheet, when you factor in the big salaries that have gone this summer. Also, I'd guess the fee for Hector isn't as high as it possibly was a month ago so hopefully we'll still be in for him. Plus it's likely we don't get in a wide man until right near the end of the window when Prem clubs have decided who they are keeping and who can go out on loan.

On the Hector fee, I can only assume he's still at Chelsea because his fee is too high? Otherwise, I'd have expected him to have moved to a club who can afford him at a sensible fee by now. Doesn't the window close on Thursday? Could be a busy 48 hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, did Utd sell Brooks so close to the deadline? I don't have much faith that we'll make the 4/5 signings I believe we need before Thursdays deadline. If Joao would have been sold 4 weeks ago, maybe I would have been slightly less annoyed at the decision. I think it was much earlier in the window so they did have more time to bring in the players they wanted. Let's just hope we can do all our business in the next few days!

camffiti Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Ideally I'd like to keep Joao, because he has progressed in his time here Hopefully we get a decent fee ... But when considering if this is a good deal for the club, you have to remember that Doom only reports bad news 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I believe we should adopted (not primarily) a system of bringing players in then selling for a larger fee. If we can get a large fee then good business. But not sure if we should stay for long haul as naturally gifted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack the Hat Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 3 hours ago, DJMortimer said: Maybe the decisions are not driven by fantasy football but the need to balance the books, the interest shown in signing the respective players and perhaps even the desires of the individuals concerned? At least one source questioned whether we ever received (or even actively pursued) the extra amount. We've sold at least two; Jack Hunt and Rhoys Wiggins. Can't think of another though. Priority one is central midfield without any question. Our formation requires 3 of them and we only have 4 experienced options in the squad. When you consider that one of those is coming off a serious injury and that another is regularly missing games, it makes the need more urgent still. If you have 6 strikers and get rid of the 3 best that is not fantasy football pal and it’s not common sense. Not Selling a striker with pace leaving us with little pace up top is also not fantasy football but common sense. So you are happy with the much injured duo of fletcher/ win all supported by Nuhui then? Selling joao is a mistake. FF is not out and out striker and is suspended. Sell those two and buy a midfielder and come January our new priority will be finding a striker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hope we have a sell on clause. He is the type of player who could command a big fee in the future if he could get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem oblivious to our financial plight, the likely demand for those players and perhaps even the wishes of the individuals concerned. And quite how you can justify Rhodes as one of our best 3 forwards is beyond me. If you include Matias as well (not even really a striker) he is bottom of the respective lists for frequency of goals scored and assists. We are not in a strong position when it comes to such wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitechapel Owl Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Sad to see him go, but if it's for the long term benefit of the club then so be it. Surprised he wants to go there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
