Joe Sunburn Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 DC has not the business acumen the club needs sitting in his chair. Run the shop, man. Come on. UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastSleepingGiant Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Laughable really that Watford are in a position to come and pick off our best players. - Tiny Ground - Small supporter base - Little to no history Why a player would want to leave to join them when in the same division is beyond me... Oh because they’ve got loads of money for failure from the Premier League! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be £15-£20 million if a carthorse is the worlds most expensive defender. So by that calculation, he’s 30/40 times better than Josh Windass. Really?

PeakOwl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) As other as have now said, £10m way too low to sell, particularly in our current predicament. Think what it would cost our club long term if we fail to replace him adequately and are relegated this season. Will it be worth the £10m then?

McRightSide Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Having seen how Watford expect their defenders to play, I can’t imagine he’d be the right player for them Wonder if his agent fancies a shot at a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centre halfs are alot cheaper I'm sure there's someone out there rotting in a prem reserves. I also think Liam Shaw isn't far off at all. Sounds great. But isn’t it far more likely that the £10m will stay in DC’s bank account while he assessed our and his future in these difficult times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't ship out a field marshall like iorfa and hope to recoup that with only 2 weeks left in transfer period. We need absolute consolidation right now.

This unwillingness to sell has been part of our downfall in recent times. We will always replace players. Very, very happy to sell for the right price. Just as selling our best players has contributed to our downfall. Still, at least you seem confident that we can simply replace our stand out player of the season so I’ll stop worrying then. I’ll look forward to seeing Börner trundle around in a three man defence whilst the management sift through the list of top quality quick powerful talismanic defenders fighting to join the ranks of a club on minus eight points.

mark.flem Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If its decent money, sell. Mistake we've made in recent years us not selling when our players stock is high. Just make sure we put a sell on clause in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of one. We should have sold the likes of FF, Lees, Reach when they were at their peak to balance the books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack the Hat Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 2 hours ago, Mr Farrell said: 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. But the situation now and then is different. We had a glut of big money signings with big wages. Except Rhodes which was a few years ago anyway , we haven’t spent more than 500k on any off our squad and with the exception of him and Westwood all the really big earners have gone. We don’t need to compound this by selling our best players to our rivals. Especially as the only real way around these stupid rules are to get promoted.

bradowl Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Having watched Watford's first 2 league games I can't see why they want Iorfa, both games they've looked very solid at back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If we sell him, there has to be a plan in place, and targets already identified, to quickly replace. That’s the bit i worry about. We can’t afford to scout the entire globe for a CB again and pay over the top for a defender who isn’t ready to go straight in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
