Seeing a show?

 

Taken at Kings Cross

 

I expect both Burnley and West Ham to test the resolve of SAFC with bids in the excess of £15m for both Clarke and Ballard over the next 5/7 days.

Would you take in the region of £6m for Steward from either Stoke or Leeds.

Talks still ongoing for Pritchard to leave the club..multiple championship clubs linked.

 

i think two we don't really need to make space for amad gone he needs replaced and still need another striker, so it will be the other positions that will be waiting to get people out and move people on

 

Wolves want £2.25m for Sanderson.

 

Depending on the sell on clause I would take the money for Ballard personally. Would want Baath to stay mind.

£6m for Stewart isnt representative of his value but with 1 year left I would take it. Would need to be paid up front though so we can splash it straight back out.

 

Sell Ballard for £15m, sign Sanderson for that price. Wouldnt be too gutted personally.

 

****ing love to see owt like that. Mint.

 

That is bloody fantastic for them mind. Complete game changer. Got to be chuffed for them. It's like drawing Man Utd in the Cup, getting a replay, beating them in it, then drawing Liverpool!

 

Snap their hand off at that.

 

Really? Not sure Sanderson is close to Ballard mesell mind. Thought he looked canny here, but clocked off a few times and did similar for Birmingham.

Maybe he'll come on though, and he'd be with better players here I'd say. Won't be happening anyway!

 

I think Ballard is better mate, but if we are getting £12m plus Sanderson I think it looks good. Sanderson played with ONien mostly. Great pace. I liked him a lot personally. I think if we are going to be tested on a couple of players sales, then between Ballard and Clarke I would cash in on Ballard. Just guessing anyway, likely not even on the agenda.

 

£15m still nowhere near enough for either of those.

Stewart is an interesting one, if he’s not too arsed about leaving I’d be tempted to accept but try and stick a sell on clause in there.

 

I know its the model but I don't want to see any of Clarke, Ballard or Rossco go.

 

I agree with this. Ballard has looked excellent for us, but we haven't developed him or improved him particularly. He was a £2m player last summer, so for people demanding £20m+ is unrealistic to me. £15m is a huge price for someone who's played 50 games in the Championship. I'd take it and bank on us replacing him.

My initial thoughts on Stewart was that I wouldn't take £6m, but you're correct. If we get it up front and actually spend it on a replacement, and not a fraction of it, then it would be a smart decision. I'd still prefer him to sign a new contract though.

The Clarke conversation doesn't start until £20m is on the table.

 

£15m plus a 10% sell on for Ballard would be tremendous business. Club would be daft not to take that offer if it came in.

 

If Soutar was worth £18 million in January then Ballard is worth at least that imo

 

Ballard has massive potential. It wouldn't be questioned if he hadn't been so unlucky with injuries.

 

would cost alot more than £6m to replace him with someone decent
