We don’t want a likeminded replacement though. We want somebody better. Giles is not a premier league standard defender.

As good as Giles is going forward, defending isn’t his strong point. All the decent prem teams are putting a 6’2 almost CB at full back. Spend 20 on someone like that, make us more defensively solid and it makes sense to recoup 8mil.

How many times has he let us down defensively this season?
 
He had a pretty steady season by all accounts, 2 assists and 3 goals, we'd be looking to pay at least double what they did for him.
Hes young so i like that kind of signing
THeres progress there

From what im seeing
Though
I cant see how we stay up
 
He was because the reference was the Piltdown Men.
I cheated and used Google, never heard of them before. I'm always happy to learn, and as with these things have no doubt it'll come up somewhere else fairly soon. Coddiwomple is a word I first saw a few years ago, and that came up again shortly after first viewing. :emoticon-0138-think


It's our time.

Wasn’t aware of it until a few years ago. I was at a pop quiz in a pub.A few of us were on equal points so the question master kept playing the beginnings of more obscure songs. I crashed out on this one as did everyone else except a lad I knew who was older than me, he will have been 14 when it came out whereas I was 10, knew it. Like you these things are stored away in the memory bank. Never know when they will come in handy.<laugh>
The beginning sounds like an amalgamation of a Jimmy Reed and Bo Diddley intro.

I’ve said it before, but barring urgently needing to do so to balance the books and avoid the sanctions, I really don’t see much business sense in selling Giles.

Sell him now and we get a fee commensurate with a decent Championship left back and then have to pay out more to get a Premier League one. Keep him and he either makes the step up and increases in value, or worst case he doesn’t but is still worth the same as a proven Champ player.
You could say the same for Joseph and Crooks.
 
Regarding this £6m PSR shortfall, that’s actually a net figure. So say we sell Joseph for £6m it would only knock £3.5m off the ‘debt’ as the £2.5m we paid for him wouldn’t count towards it.
exactly
so thats why we need to sell giles or pandur
if we do need to

I think we signed Joseph on a three-and-a-half-year contract and he has two years left so the book value remaining on his contract is around £1.5 million. That means if we sell him for £6 million, the profit is £4.5 million rather than £3.5 million.

No chance someones paying £6m for him
 
Interest in Giles certainly explains the rumoured interest in Tymon. Very similar profile. Year on year Tymon has arguable been more consistent.

Would be a shame see Giles go as he has earned his revival and chance at the PL.
Id be gutted to sell Giles and replace with Tymon. I dont think we should sell anyway but to replace with someone just the same that might not fit in with the rest of the team seems utter madness
