Anyone trying to spin a positive on this is an idiot, end of. Silva came in and said we don't want to lose any players, we are now losing one of our most influential and proven players, alongside Jake who was a proven and versatile prem player (regardless of whether you thought he was avergae or not). He's been involved in 9 of our 17 premier league goals this season, so whoever replaces him has big shoes to fill and there is no guarantee whatsoever they will do that. Buying in January is a notoriously hard time to bring in the right sort of player, you're generaly feeding for scraps. Patty you WUM **** off and die, I don't allow you the right to respond.
Not unexpected but that's a kick in the balls and an indication the club will sell anyone we get a half decent bid in for no matter what the manager says/wants. I'll be the first to admit I didn't think we bring in anyone this window and I'm presently that we have. I also hope beyond hope that they all come good for us. I'll also say that I didn't expect us to be selling two (at least) of our most consistent players at the same time. Nor do I think we should have needed to. I also don't in anyway share the optimism of the posters who think MS will get the money to spend and that he has targets lined up for this cash. I hope I'm wrong. I think we are in danger of ripping out the heart of a team that was starting to gel and introducing a group of strangers who will need time we don't have to gel.
Daniel Levy well and truly had our pants down in 2014 then. A player is worth what the owner's determine they're worth, and ours are willing to sell our best players for peanuts.
Wake up, in the real world of football Championship midfielders go for over 10m and we sign a Spurs cast off for 13m. A winger with the second best conversion rate from FKs in the league who has contributed 50% of a team's goals is worth 20m+.
If snoddy gets a knock and his knee plays up That's great business! BUT if he plays like he has been doing for us? then it's not a poor decisions it's f'king bordering on comical
knickers in a knot big time on here. have you lot forgotten Snoddy was out for more than a year with a serious injury? He is probably one kick away from ending his career. £10 million is a good price for a 29 year old with his history.
Seems we have learned a valuable lesson from Levy in the Jake and Snods deal...........but it is no good ripping off other clubs, if we don't reinvest the money wisely.
@reluctantnicko Suspect a few games being played with Snodgrass and Burnley thing. Lot want him. And he wants a LOT of wages.
Not really they will just match the offer , the only bidding war will be who offers snodgrass the better deal
Derby got £10.5 million for Hendrick and Brighton wanted close to that for Stephens, even though he had a year left on his contract. If Championship midfielders cost that much these days then we shouldn't have sold Livermore for anything less than £15 million.
Ha, pushing 30 is suddenly a point against Snoddy? But when I suggest someone who's 32 is old I get laughed at? Age doesn't matter when he's doing what he's been doing for us this season.
