It will put them off and they’ll move on to other targets Who has slapped a £5M price tag on him? One person on here who has since retracted it.

We are back to believing everything Nixon says is gospel now then? Shame he wasn't so accurate in dismissing the validity of Alonso. If we have put that price on him then I agree it is daft.

FreshOwl Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 4 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: Which is absolutely tragic. This is how the conversation should go; SWFC: Hi Josh, you’re in the last year of your contract. Do you want to sign a new one? Josh: Not sure really. Not been paid and would rather be guaranteed Championship football. I think that’s my level. Club: Fair point. We don’t want you to walk away for free. Milwall have offered 1m for you. Which is more than we paid in the first place. It’s a decent deal considering our financial situation and the League we are in. We’re willing to let you go. Josh: Great stuff. I’ll pack my bags. Enjoy the profit! The club then use that money to find a replacement - this is possible. Clubs literally do it all the time. I’d love nothing more than the club to fetch £1m and reinvest it into a lower league star, but I can’t see this club having the forward thinking to pull off something like that We don’t necessarily know what wages have been paid to which player, at what percentage and on what date. For all we know, Josh has received his and it’s others waiting. I’m not disputing that there’s an issue BTW, we just don’t know the details I think ultimately the club will look to protect a valuable asset, regardless. Josh is one of our more high profile players and has a decent pedigree. Lets negotiate and see what we can get. £2 - 2.5 million would be good business 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lad will walk away for nowt next season and we’re here turning down £1m+ bids. Promotion doesn’t hinge on Windass staying or going. Do we not learn? The article states that there is a further one year extension clause, meaning that he will not necessarily walk away for nothing next season, and two given that there is an extra year, surely that would increase his current valuation? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton did indeed sell Madine to Cardiff supposedly for £6 million but ironically the transaction has never appeared in their accounts and Bolton fans believe the money never came anywhere close to the club. Maybe there are more chairman than just Chansiri that like to fiddle with the accounts ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair enough didn’t realise that if true. I still don’t see how we are in a position to be turning down million pound bids on players with the reported wage issue. I imagine Windass will want to leave and play at a higher level. He’s good mates with Bannan who has gone on record to say the club isn’t a great place to be at the moment. It’s not out the realms of possibility to think Windass feels the same. Therefore I wouldn’t be turning down bids for him at all. We’ve done this in the past and players have gone on to lose form and subsequently lose value. We should try and make profit on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should try and make profit on him. i think the club is in a bit of a catch 22 situation. For me, with the reported wage issues, fans not getting their refund money back etc it is imperative that we maximise every transfer deal. I disagree with the notion that we should just cave in to pressure from other clubs, take whatever deals they offered us. If we take that route, there won't be much left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said Derby had a US buyer in place in April but it would depend on them staying up, that seems to have gone a bit quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Hillsborough a great place to be when these players agreed to sign 2-year contracts to stay at the club? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. The only player to do that was Bannan. Windass signed a deal last summer - things looked generally more positive at that point. Why Bannan signed that new deal god knows. He looked bloody gutted when speaking about it to the Scottish press the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
