Other teams at this level sell their better players and reinvest smartly and seemingly progress, how come we rarely do? Because we are rubbish at recruiting! Other clubs who are good at recruiting probably don't sell their best players to a cheeky last minute offer and base their recruitment on what is left with 1 day to go until the transfer window shuts.

We need to stop pining over the likes of Westwood, lee, Bannan etc and start looking forward instead of backwards. Probably best to do that as a long-term recruitment plan rather than sell the player the manager has made captain for the new season 1 day before the window shuts.

That’s the thing we don’t have any kind of plan. I know it’s hard for us to bring players in given our finances and -12 but we were suppose mid to be bringing in younger players with resale value? The only first team player I think we could potentially make a profit on in a few years is windass (fdb Currently a backup player don’t know how well he will develop) We are just going round in circles but now instead of buying better quality 25-28 year olds we are just buying lower quality ones.

Don't disagree with you unfortunately. If we'd had a decent offer for Bannan in say August, and by decent at this stage of his contract I would say £3M+ then it might have been a good time to sell and reinvest in younger, cheaper in terms of wages players with a future sell-on value. Selling the player our rare bits of decent football often go through, the player the manager made his new captain this season, with 1 day to find a replacement would be pretty foolish.

Probably better to politely ask him to sign it instead. One way to make him stay! He'd probably not bat an eye lid, after all we crucify our players week in week out!

Owls2k Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 If you sell your best player (which he is, easily) in your most important season in decades then you deserve to fail, simple as that. We are not a career service for Bannan, it does not matter if it is a great opportunity for him or not. He's our player and we need him this season and in my opinion beyond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyCroppersHair Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 What would we get for him? £1m at best what with him in the final year of his contract and us supposedly a bit fecked money wise, not his biggest fan but he is just about our best player, would rather keep him this season and let him go for nowt at the end of it if it means us staying up, be about £7m better off by being in the championship than league one, no brainier for me unless they off silly money which is highly doubtful.

farlego Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 If he does go I think we already have a replacement for Bannan only more attacking minded in Luongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal or No Deal?? No f..... way! To make a late offer it would after to be over 5 million to be tempted. Relegation would cost far more than what we can get at the mo. Selling your club captain would send the wrong message to the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
