Newcastle were offering him out long before they “had” to sell. That’s just them coping that they ****ed up selling him.
It does seem bonkers that we have to offload players to meet a criteria by the end of June, but can buy someone more expensive than the players we sell after June.
I agree, that said I suspect he'll be replaced by someone equally athletic, but more clinical in front of goal.
Not really.
There's rightly spending rules (*) when in the Championship, which we were last season (* not saying they are the right ones, just that they are there and have to be adhered to).
Then there's different spending rules when in the PL, which we will be this coming season.
Very logical.
It'll be a shame to lose two likeable players who've achieved success with us, in Pandur and Joseph. But on the other hand it makes some sense. Joseph's attributes are suited to the Championship but every PL team that goes down seems to lack firepower and he's that sort of player sadly. Pandur we needed to improve on probably even if we didn't go up just because of his distribution and confidence coming off his line. Again a real shame because the other parts of his game are very good, but it's clear as day.
I’d be worried if with the proposed budget we couldn’t replace someone with the qualities of Joseph.
When we had decent numbers fit this season he was struggling for minutes let alone in a premier league squad. Pretty sure he recognises his own situation and would rather be playing more regularly. A move to a good Millwall side is a decent opportunity for him too, could argue an upgrade from where he was 12 months ago. And he has personal links to them which sweetens it a bit more.
Pretty much yea
He was barely starting last few months for whatever reason
And in the prem itll be even less
Hes from down south
Its win win for.him really
I guess.
Just seems like an arbitrary line too, that we have to sell by 11:59pm a week on Tuesday but can splash the cash two minutes later.
Do players really get signed when they are crocked? I know we regularly sign players with “niggles” but generally not while they are still on crutches
I am sure regular first team football must be a big draw. He is no fool and must realise if he stays he will be a bit part player at best.
If he goes then good luck to the lad. No-one could ever fault his commitment or endeavour.
Line has to be drawn somewhere, like when you drive through pissing rain and then it just stops and it’s bone dry.
Knows that if he's second choice in the champ then he's not going to get much chance in the prem.
Pretty much this and hes from around the london area and he has a child so i can see why it appeals to him
I imagine for a footballer
Sitting on the bench is so demoralizing
