scilly owl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If we sell big Dom to Watford all the current whiff of optimism will be obliterated. Dont even answer the phone Monk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1981 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 How much? Then again, does anyone know if Wolves have a sell on fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post S63 Owl Posted September 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 £8-10m with add ons etc will be good business in my opinion. Iorfa has been a great player for us at a bargain price but our mistake in the past has been not listening to offers for our players and then seeing them leave for nothing or their value drops. Sell Iorfa to help balance books and reinvest into the team with a few more signings - this is the model we should use. 57 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 My main concern won’t be selling Iorfa, it will be who we bring in to make sure Borner & Palmer aren’t first choice in a back 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Just seen this in the star. Nothing less than £10m. Definitely wouldn’t want to see him go but we have missed opportunities before to make a big profit on players. Now is our chance and we would be very stupid to try and keep hold of him, but need to make sure we drive a hard bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was the case, would you still sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSandersonOWL Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Tracking him? No problem. The world-beating track and trace system does not work. They will trace him to Aberdeen. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr Farrell Posted September 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2020 We criticised DC for screwing up our finances by not selling. Not selling contributed to us having to use grubby fiddles. It's imperative we make at least one big sale per season or our business model will fail again. Anyone saying don't sell is contributing to the problem. We are a business not a family. 26 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggyowl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 The question as always is have we got or can we bring in someone of Iorfas standard. Now if Dunkley gets fit then he could be that player. I'd accept at £10 million with the hope Monk gets half of that to improve the squad. Now if Reach also goes say for £5 million thats a good return and we have some flex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Watford have parachute payments, and have sold players for decent money. Quote them £10million. That way, even with Wolves' sell on fee we get £7.5mill. Tidy profit, some of which can be reinvested. If they won't pay it, no problem, he stays. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What offers have been made for our players? Though I'm sure we could have off-loaded a few for £9.99. Suppose,.. we could have got rid of ff for a fair few quid..that's normally what most clubs do while chasing promotion..get rid of the best for a decent wedge. In hindsight it may have been a good deal, at the time it would have been nuts...pwoper melt down. So now get rid of Lorfa...stick or twist? Could get rid and then we would be a well ran club like Brentford.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WUGGAMONKEY1 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Does anybody know how long he has left on his contract? I’d like to think we’d ask £8-10m if he had another season after this on his contract. If not, we’d probably be looking at a lot less. There will be other bargains out there to be had & the new recruitment team seem to be coming up with the goods - Iorfa being one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone saying don't sell is contributing to the problem. We are a business not a family. Spot on. You have to sell when a player’s form is attracting offers. He could get injured or just become disenchanted and lose interest resulting in his value reducing. You never know what might happen in the future with players. A lesson I learned as far back as the early 1960’s when fan favourite Tony Kay was sold to Everton. It didn’t make much difference and two years later he was resting at her Majesty’s pleasure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 We failed to take good offers for Lees, Foriestieri, Reach etc etc previously. All ended up being worth nothing except an expensive drain on our wages. Hopefully DC has finally learned something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
