Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[Scout73]

I wouldn't suggest we should.

However Alese and Huggins are similar to O'Nien, Hume, etc. If the club believe they have the talent and attitude worthy of persevering it's by far the cheapest and simplest avenue to go down. Clearly, it has to be for the right reasons but ditching players too quickly can mean losing a Ballard, Mundle or Mayenda ...

... all three have been written off by supporters, at various points, but not by the club ... how much are they now worth combined.

What I suppose I'm saying is that we're not the best judges.

Not writing them off as such, Huggins has been here 4 years and Alese 3 years - yet neither have played enough, that's fact.

Me saying I would sell them isn't me writing them off, it's saying what I believe is best for not only the club but for those 2 players.

I'm all for giving players a chance, i rarely write players off until they've been here for a while and you can better judge them as a player

We will sell players who will then go on to have great careers, that's football but sometimes those players can only reach that level by moving on and playing regularly.

As I said I'm not against loaning them out and seeing what they do but they'll then be a year further on in their contracts so maybe the time to sell is now

None of us will know what's best, I'm saying I'd sell but noone might want to buy.

I like both players but I honestly think weve moved on and probably outgrown them - nothing wrong with that, we outgrew players like Gooch, Evans, Pritchard, Wright, Baath and Embleton, players who got us out of L1

Tbf, Scott came across well on the roker report podcast earlier in the summer, but he has a huge track record of just rehashing stories

10/10 window if we pull both of them off

I'm more hesitant tbh.

The lengths a club has to go to in order to bring in a player is immense.

We've paid out a lot for Alese and Huggins, scouted them and developed them to a great degree. We've paid for their treatment, rehabilitation and involvement in the club. They've had group coaching, specialised coaching and endless assessments. They've obviously shown sufficient talent as well as the ability to connect with the squad and staff.

To throw all that away and start the whole process again, with two more similar players, needs a big investment but may ultimately fail.

In my opinion the cost far outweighs the cost of keeping faith with these two.

Who knows, if they keep picking up games and doing well, we could benefit or at worst make a good profit on them.

Absolutely. We need to find the best way to get a decent return on our investment. A lot of people don't consider all the effort that goes in.

That might get it over the line

And I think that may be us done in the window for incoming if both Jhon Lucumi and Abdul Fatawu comes in

Then it just be out going

Imagine having the busiest transfer window of all time and not even needing deadline day. That's what's somehow even more impressive than the fact we've brought in some incredible players. We've done it quickly, early and decisively.

Won't believe the fatawu link until fab, keith or ornstein tweets it

Same. They're the holy trinity now!!!

Lovely to see. Clear to see where we want to finish our business now and possibly only 2 signings away from being done. CB only brought in if they are a very high quality which makes sense with the numbers we have that can play there. Very confident a wide player will be brought in even if we settle for a lesser target. Going to need the depth out there imo. Very very happy.

We pull these deals off we will still get hit with "youve broken PSR rules ( which a few have already started to say)

we're still going down

Burnley and Leeds are better,

etc

you forget the table is wrong we’re not 2nd we’re now 21 points behind Burnley and Leeds

Assume its this

So disappointed about the game yesterday. But as we says and believe that FOXES never quit then is too early at this stage of the season seeing fans leave stadium so early when we are down by 1.

"This is the best time we need you, You can’t be celebrating win with the team and don’t want to loose with the team. This is a game of football and you can’t be winning every time so we need everyone in both side so you can be proud to celebrate victories with the team, this is the time to stick together to be strong to make this team get what they deserve thanks to all the traveling fans for you amazing support but we need more

Great quote
