If Palmer is fit again soon, remember that Fox wasn't even first choice left back anyway. He's a steady player who doesn't deserve some of the criticism he gets but being the only "recognised" left back at the club doesn't make him the best one. But if Sunderland are offering next to nothing then we'd be better off keeping him. Think it’s fair to say Sunderland won’t be offering anywhere near £1.5-£2 million for him....

Probably not, but as Sunderland are on the verge of being taken over by rich new owners, we can hope that they're rich and daft new owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Thornily could make that position his in a few games, easily. Also good in the air & can cover Borner when he carries the ball forward. Cheap & reliable. No brainier for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally appreciate what you’re saying but £5-700k (wherever that’s come from) for a reserve full back when we’re likely facing an embargo again next summer. That’s a lot of money.

East Yorks Owl Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Just watched the interview with Fox, post Preston, on the SWFC YouTube channel. The lad didn’t seem very comfortable with the questioning especially when the interviewer specifically asked how he felt about being booed by his own fans. I felt sorry for the lad and really don’t get why you’d want to boo your own player, unless it was obvious they didn’t give a throw about wearing the shirt. Maybe Fox isn’t good enough, but the boo boys are only going to destroy his confidence more. With respect to whether we should sell him it might make sense if the player wants to go and there’s a transfer fee to be had. I appreciate it leaves us a little short on full backs, but perhaps it’s for the best if he wants away? Following on from that I hope our fans aren’t going to shift their vitriol onto Odubajo now. If they do it will make it much harder for him to move on from yesterday’s errors. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 He’s out of contract in the summer. We won’t offer him a new one so even though it would leave us short I’d move him on. He’s not, never has been and never will be the answer to our left-back problem and neither will Penney come to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a lot of money. Are we really looking at an embargo again with the stadium sale and 10m raised this summer with costs reduced. Think we will release more high earners next summer too. Either way though it makes sense to sell Fox if there’s a fee and play odubajo or thorniley there behind Palmer. We can always recall Penney in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LittleG Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 If it's true that he wants to go (don't blame him), then with his contract up at the end of the season, we would be foolish to turn down any respectable bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costello 77 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 My feeling is we're going to need him.. it's been noted that he wants away but he's given his all through the pelters and abuse. We'll see what free spending Sunderland come up with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
