malek Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Considering what league we are in, Bannan's wages and age it makes sense to sell him if we are getting good offer for him. But whatever anyone's opinion on him is he is a player our squad is built around and must be adequately replaced if he goes. Expecting that George Byers could take over and be like for like replacement for Bannan would be silly. There are players out there that are younger than him and that could take over his role in our starting 11, just hope that our scouting team can spot them.

However if a decent bid came in for him and we could use all the money to bring in new players I think selling him is something we would have to seriously consider.

Southie_Owl Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Anyone know how our restrictions work? For example if we got £3m for Bannan could we spend £2m on a striker? Or is it a case of no matter how much money we have we are not allowed to spend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 So a team that reached last seasons Championship play off final see one of our players as an improvement for their team. We are in League 1 and some of our fans are delighted by the thought that he may be leaving. I bet their manager is one of those who doesn’t know as much about football as the gang of 4 on here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every manager in our division and most in the one above would have Bannan if offered to them. I don't get some of the hate towards him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Was probably right in offering a contract extension because this is one I could see coming. Would free up big wages and likely to get around £5m for him. That said, he only recently moved up to sheffield from Birmingham and has bought a house here, also has a young daughter and south wales isn’t exactly down the road. Fully expect other teams to come knocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I’d consider it Agree with this as I said, we could hopefully then spend a couple of million on a striker like Jepchott (or whoever the next up and coming striker is these days). A striker and Byers in exchange for Bannan is probably good business for what we need right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hard one to call for me this one. If you look at last seasons stats BB was one of the best in the league for key passes played which he did this in such a poor team under some poor managers. Under Moores style of football in this league he should be a standout performer. However as pointed out by others we’ve made mistakes in the past in not cashing in on players plus he’s 31! Providing we can reinvest the money (and we’re not under a fee paying embargo) on a suitable replacement then an offer near 2.5-3m would be silly not to strongly consider.

owlinexile Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Bannan is a good player. But we should still sell him if we get a decent offer, because we are colossally skint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FreshOwl Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 Some of you lot are so dramatic. Christ, whose pulling him down? I would just be interested to see how the team would look with a bit more investment. We’re in league 1 with financial issues, he’s the wrong side of 30 on £27k per week. Doesn’t mean I think he’s a bad player just for thinking it ffs 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BIG D Posted July 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2021 If we get a decent fee for him and we reinvested it well then it would be a good move for everyone. To pretend he’s rubbish is just being thick. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Be hard to replace him, but that money on wages and a fee could be used so well. You’ve got to think he’s worth near 3M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbupperthongowl Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 We have to understand where we are, yes he's a good and popular player, but we are very much driven by finances at the moment. So if he has to go to fund the striker we need, then so be it He may actually be a great fit for Swansea due to the way they play, so would be more successful there than with us What is the worst that this rumour could do? Maybe alert others of his availability and drive up interest....get clubs offering us players in part exchange, so giving us some more options for the rebuild.... time will tell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
