vulva Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 We will turn down a perfectly reasonable offer, he will get injured and leave on a free at the end of the season. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Bannan is our best ever free transfer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew6666 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Sell. If its £1m then sell. Age is against him and us, his contract is up soon, potential to walk away for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I would happily let him leave if it meant a decent replacement , more attacking minded came in . In reality though , he’d go and we would sign nobody so no thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he leaves for nowt, so be it. Exactly...staying in the championship is worth far more than £1M. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 What if the player wants the move? He’s spoken of his admiration for Brentford’s style. He’s 30 and will likely get a very good deal that we probably can’t offer anymore. It’s a chance of playing in the PL next season as opposed to possibly playing in L1. Don’t be shocked if Bannan wants this move. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowl Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I can see this being his last season with us anyway, but right now we need him. From Bannan's perspective though, I'd be surprised if he wouldn't be interested in such a move. At his age, and with us right now only likely to leave the division via relegation rather than promotion, a move to a club that'll give it another good go this season might well represent to him his final chance to be a Premiership player. *edit—or, I basically agree with the post above.

Mick70 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Take Bannan out of our side who else gets the assists that he does? Brown might do but he hasn’t got the best injury record has he? For me he has to stay cus we won’t be able to replace him in 2 days and will be isolated at the bottom of the league come next window? Let him leave end of season after hopefully keeping us in this league that would be my option? Unfortunately like someone said he in last yr of his contract openly confirmed his admiration of Brentford and how he’d love to play for them? Add in her get a pay rise and his last chance to go back up who’d blame him if he forced it through? He doesn’t come across that type but having watched all our better players leave one by one i wouldn’t be surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 If I was Bannan I'd be banging on the managers door for that move, hes not getting any younger and if he still has ambitions of a crack at the premier league then he needs to move. Problem is we need him, a great little player, and Monks signings have pretty much all been disappointing so far. For that reason we should turn the offer down, even if he is to leave for nothing.

He might think that this will be his last big chance to make hay. He can also barge into DCs office and demand a wage rise or he's off. Brentford will be happy that they either get the player or that they have at least unsettled him. No doubt they will have other targets. Not if he has to fly to Thailand he can't..he'd have to isolate for 14 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lump On Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Has everyone just decided now that our best players over the last 4/5 years are now bobbins? Westwood - Bobbins get sold Lees -Bobbins get sold Bannon - Bobbins get Sold Reach - Bobbins get sold If a player as 2 good seasons and 1 bad season does that make him a good player or a bad one?

NorthernOwl Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Would be a great move for both Bannan and Brentford and a terrible one for us. No doubt Monk will be keen to move him on and replace him with another talentless hard worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
