leftpeg Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Depends who the interest is from, would be a loss, but at his age if its any kind of half decent team he is going to want to go as he will probably be released at the end of this coming season anyway. Good L1 striker, and if he can get a final run in the championship at mid table level I dont think anyone would begrudge him it. However if it's a team thats gonna be relegation battling all season I could see him staying at what looks to be a team capable of winning the league and enjoying the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catdog1121 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Given his age I can't see anyone offering us more than a couple of hundred thousand which we wont be able to replace him with so can't see him going anywhere.. If someone does want to pay silly money then obviously we would be silly not to cash in and if it allows us to go for someone like Alfie May then fair enough.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOwl91 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I think this is the perfect scenario for us tbh. At his age, 33 nearly 34, the £ market is skewed. Either massively overpay, or do one. I can't see anyone offering a significant amount of money on that basis, and unless someone was going to massively overpay, why would we sell our top goalscorer when our goal is clearly automatic promotion? We lose what, £8m a season being in L1 compared to Championship on revenue? Whats the transfer fee likely to be in comparison to that really? Keep him unless its a massively over inflated offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Seen this tweet from the Journo who reported it: "It is really. There’s interest. If player wants to go then he will go. One year left on contract and at his age, wouldn’t command a huge fee. Let’s see" Couldn't disagree more. #1, when does Chansiri ever accept a low fee? #2, when does Chansiri ever get hardballed by a player wanting to leave?! I mean Abdi and Jones basically begged to leave and couldnt haha Probably more to the point, id argue at his age with 1 year left on his contract, it actually weakens his position, because he wont want to play hard ball and potentially miss out on a seasons football!

@owlstalk Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Any player like Gregory or Bannan has to be here for purely money OR ambition to get promoted immediately. We missed out on promotion meaning Bannan and Gregory have to start from scratch all over again to try and get us promoted which of course they'll do but a year older can they do it? Also will they have the same motivation to do it given that they gave their all last season but it didn't happen If it's purely money then Championship can offer more If it's wanting to play at a higher level then Championship can offer that immediately If it's that they're settled in Sheffield and don't want the upheaval at this stage of their career then the best solution for the player is to take Chansiri's money and stay put 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beany71 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Is it Rotherham trying to replace Smith! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Never say never, depends on the club involved and the fee offered. Lee said he was happy here so unless it's a significant improvement in terms he'll stay. Many stories in the transfer window are often highly speculative or made-up TBH. No clubs named makes me think this could be one such story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I hope he stays, having competition up front will be important for a sustained automatic promotion push. It would be typically Wednesday to turn down an offer for a huddy like Windass and then sell a decent forward like Gregory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Would be a huge loss. That being said, at least the club have prepared for it if he does indeed leave by signing a more than capable replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 He may be a year older but he’s damn savy in front of goal. He doesn’t need pace, he has a nack of being in the right place, stealing a yard and with the right ball it’s a goal. That’s worth keeping hold of.
