Mister Soul Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 1 hour ago, 0742 said: It's going to be hard to turn down if they come back with over £1.5m i reckon and with adeniran to come back and fill that spot of progressive athletic midfielder, i'd be tempted to cash in as he's unlikely to sign a new contract with interest from the league above. I’d argue any offer is very easy to turn down if you want a successful club at this level 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick70 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Let’s be honest up to recent performances he’s been very inconsistent? Before that did he do enough to break into first team last season and stay there? Probably not? That leaves us where we are .moore probably didn’t think he’d progress as he as this season, still might be a flash in the pan for a few games only? So stick or twist atm? Good enough offer and player atm doesn’t look like signing we’ll probably sell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Soul Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 1 hour ago, vulva said: We are in a position where we have to sell if we get a decent offer. £2m for a League 1 player going out of contract is very good money. Forget potential. We are losing millions a year. And it boils down to the player. If he wants to go, start an auction. Why do we have to sell? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogbob Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 We are overloaded in that area, right offer comes in, you need to sell and we have at least two that can replace him. Letting him leave on a free, would be absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkstar Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 4 minutes ago, parajack said: Big NO for me for any contract over 2 Years if he goes so be it. Sick of seeing players lose form or get ‘injured’ and than be unavailable or unselected This is the counter argument, and a relatively valid one given that one of the contributory factors to our current situation was handing out huge long term contracts to anyone with a pulse and a pair of boots. We've had FDB on the books for 2 years now and whilst he's developed over that time it's only the first 2 games of this season where we've seen him really stand out for more than the odd flash in a game. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan and agree that he definitely has the potential to be worth A LOT of money in the future but so have countless other youngsters over the years. Its always a tough call which way to jump in these situations, especially for a club in our financial situation. Hopefully DM can use his man management skills to get him to sign up for a couple more years, maybe with say a 5m or so release clause so everybody wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Bouncing Owl said: We need to offer him a new contract. If he doesn’t accept, we need to sell him in this window. I want to keep him and he’s been great in these 2 games but we’ve got to be commercially minded in how we run the club and deal with buying and selling players. Keeping him strengthens our chances of promotion, once in Championship he's more likely to want to stay, even if not I'm sure we'll be £1m better off just winning promotion. If we receive a bid a lot more in excess of a million then maybe it would be tempting to cash in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 48 minutes ago, StudentOwl said: Eh, I can only disagree... I said in another thread he was literally just fractions off... somewhat fortunately across the board. He only needed to incrementally improve to really step up. Agree about the confidence thing, but IMO you don't loan put a 4th (IMO) or 5th (completely understand why someone one rank him there) choice CM when you're playing a midfield three and you know he's so close to breaking through. Anyway, semantics. Point is, he's bossing it right now, he should have been tied down to a bigger and longer contract sooner, but we have to manage the situation as it is right now. If he scores another 2 goals between now and the end of the month, we could see a lot of hyped-up interest from Championship clubs much better than Blackpool... But when you have Adenarin, Bannan, Byers, Vaulks, Bakinson all competing for a spot, if Dele hadn't stepped up like he did against Pompey and MK Dons - you risk stifling a promising young talent and restricting much needed game time at his age. However, like you suggest it is now his place to lose. But its fine margins in football - he took his opportunity. If he had a slow start to the season I'm sure people would be calling for a loan spell so he can get regular games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3mps Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 No disrespect to Blackpool, but I'd be more worried about losing him if it was anyone else else. Hopefully we sort a contract out and even not I'd rather we run the clock down and he will help us get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Nickelarse Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 21 minutes ago, S72 Owl said: He hasn’t broken through our academy or development squad though has he. Therefore the compensation won’t be very high. Especially if he goes abroad we could be looking at next to nothing again like with Hirst, Shaw and Urghuhide. He was recruited from MC academy for our development squad as a 19 year old so yes he has come through our development squad by definition, and has massively developed and improved since coming here. People on here are just guessing at potential compensation. I am really happy with the clubs stance on this so far personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been a lot better behind the scenes in recent years but the list of players that we've let run out of contract in the last two decades is nearly as long as the list of players we've had in the last two decades We've sold about 10 players out of hundreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he helps us get promoted he can for me. The problem is if he reverts to the form of last season (hit and miss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 There’s a valuation he’s worth coming to end of his contract and a different one when he signs I think as soon as the first valuation is met we will have to be saying to Bashiru. We need an answer on your contract otherwise we’re accepting the bid Ive a bad feeling we’re going to let him go on a free and someone’s going to my end up selling him millions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
