matthefish2002 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Sure if we kept Forestieri they would be one or two games at most where he would play at his peak form but nowhere near enough to justify the wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Duran Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Can get two players in for his wages alone. Like an Irvine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Think the saving in wages from FF could allow us to get a couple of free transfers in that would improve the team. Was once a quality player for us but those days look well behind him (probably until he signs for a new club). Letting him go along with Hutchinson, Winnall, will Fletcher be let go now because of his injuries? and definitely Nuhiu is the right thing to do.

james o connor Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bye bye ‘Nando’ shut the door on the way out . One in a long line of way past their best wage stealers we will hopefully see the back of this year 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Monk said all the out of contract players who have been brought back to training have been offered the extension. So either he's lying or FF's agent is. Simple. If he and the others don't want to sign for the month then good riddance as far as I'm concerned. It shows their true character after the club have bankrolled their inept performances. If Fletch and Fox are also playing silly buggers about the 1 month extension then I'd say thanks very much and remove their full time contract offer as well. If I was a player I'd be very wary of being out of contract this summer as I don't think offers would be as high as other years. That said if the club are offering the players anything lower than their current deal for the last month then I can understand the hesitating to sign, as that's a poor move. But I understand we are just trying to extend the current terms. Fair play to Kieran Lee for signing promptly, no fuss from that guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumour has it Fox is on around 8k a week and our contract offer to him is less than that. Can see why he is not biting our hand off if this is true. If this is the case and we cant even offer Fox ( one of our better players this season) the same 8k a week he was currently on then we are in serious financial trouble this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we have looked at the situation after covid, along with the fact that Fox is an OK 2nd tier full back, nothing amazing. And we aren't willing to pay stupid money when there's likely to be more options then usual at a lower rate cos of the covid situation 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2304 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 As said above, too much of a risk for us to take based on past glories. There’s is more recent evidence suggesting it would be a mistake to keep him around than to gamble on any return to form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 FF is not the player he was, but worryingly he is still a better option than most of the other players we have available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand us maybe saying to Fletcher, we cant offer you 35k but if it turns out that we wouldnt even offer Fox 8k. then that's a mistake. If he is demanding 15-20k as he has other clubs interested then that's different. But 8k got Fox is a steal, even now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
