striker Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) 4 hours ago, Shetland Owl said: Reach and Rhodes Agree, neither had a good season last year (Rhodes for the last 3 years) and both in the last year of their contract. I'd also add Westwood to the list of players we should try to move on. Reach the most likely, but think we'll be stuck paying Rhodes and Westwood until their contracts expire. Some others need replacing, but cant do it all in one window. The above are players whose financial drain far outweighs their current contribution.

gurujuan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Westwood, Rhodes and Reach, would seem the obvious candidates, with Lees, Luongo and Odubajo possibilities Maybe loans for Hughes and Brennan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Only two I can see leaving is Westwood and Rhodes but only if we pay them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnishOwl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Reach could be going, he doesn't seem to find a place here anymore. If we are going to sell Bannan, it must happen now. Could well pay for 2-3 incoming players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 In Bannan and Brown we have two thirds of an excellent midfield. Can any of the current squad complete the three? Luongo or Pelupessy could do a job, but are not quite right, and I’m not sure which role the new lad plays. From afar, it looks to me as if we need a Hutch type to make up the perfect three in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Ideally Westwood, Rhodes and maybe Reach if we could get someone to take him for 2 or 3 million, unlikely to see much money spent in the championship atm though with what’s happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzieowl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Westwood prob let go free to get off wage bill. Be decent get 100/200k for him. Rhodes we would lose money on unless some idiots would pay over 2m for him. cut loses n accept 1m n get off wages. Unless JB can work with him n get his confidence back. JVA can see goin abroad 500k. Reach may work hard for new coaching staff n get form back. If heat not in it may have to let got cheap. 2m Lees let go 500k tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 bannan & iorfa if the price is right ..........high earners like reach,westwood ,rhodes ,lees i'd just be glad to get em of the pay roll . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

83owl Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 JVA I think could get a move to Europe lees and KW other clubs will struggle to match their wages, I think when we signed Lees we paid a nominal fee which essentially paid up his remaining contract which I would take for both of them. Rhodes I can’t see going anywhere except on loan. We need to decide what to do with Bannan and reach, last year of contracts we can’t keep letting players go for nothing but only if we replace with quality players.

New management team, loads of off pitch stick from supporters. If he doesn’t rise to this challenge and isn’t performing 5-6 games in then he needs to go as he hasn’t got the character we need. What a load of tosh. He's got plenty of character. Bravery isn't all about tackling people hard. He carried the team under Jos and effectively stopped us being relegated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuhiu and Joao becoming the best strike force in the league for 5 months kept us up not Adam Reach we need to move on from players like him he's not good enough.

Reach is one of the most frustrating players I think I've ever watched, but the stats don't lie, we probably would have been close to relegation 17/18 without his goals and assists. Since that season for one reason or another he's looked no where near that level, and he was still frustrating to watch then with his nack of pulling out of 70-30 challenges in his favour. Last season he was nothing short of dreadful whilst also having an air about him that he was too good for us. Another one that will see out his contract and whimper off somewhere else.

Maybe his stock is still high enough for us to get a small fee for him, but it’s unlikely to be anywhere near what we paid for him Could try and look for some sort of player swap, if it’s true that Boro want him back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
