Judge with 40 odd games left just to have another dig at the club. I'll support the team and hold judgement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 some of them are worth a transfer fee and to let them go for free is bad business ……come January those that monk or whoever doesn't want we should be selling for whatever we can get for them .,,,,,,,whether they choose to go though may be the tricky bit .

Guest Theboylangers Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I think it is an interesting point because if we don't extend contracts (or we don't want to), all of these players will leave for nothing. 11 players is a lot albeit some will probably never make the first team. It's certainly an opportunity for Monk to clear a few out but let's not forget that most of these players are likely to have some part to play in the next 3/4 months. We will see but currently there aren't many I'd keep. I reserve the right to be fickle on this of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disputing that but that's a discussion for as and when that happens. Doesn't change the fact we have 40 league games to play. So much can happen in that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morepork Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I just think this emphases the need for a club like our to capitalise when players are in demand, however painful that may be at the time. FF is a classic case in point. We could have sold him for a record fee for us, instead we've continued to pay his wages for sub-standard performances and he's now a fringe player that looks likely to leave for nothing. We simply have to be smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply have to be smarter. The thing is though, the offers came from clubs we were at the time competing with for promotion. Do you really want to strengthen them and weaken yourself? I can't think of an example where a team has sold a player to a promotion rival and it's paid off for them in this division in the last few years (Happy to be proven wrong on that one by the way).

It's not about casting judgment on particular players. It's about the business side of things, and if the club is not thinking about this they're more inept than previously imagined 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to say now, he's sh!t get rid but Monk might get the best out of someone everyone expects to be on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
