Probably because people expect or want them to reveal everything they know supposedly some think because he reports on this club they think they have a right to know and get the hump if he does not say much on certain issues. People sometimes always try to make out it’s their updates or info they put on here that he uses so it makes him look stupid when in theory he is just doing what they do staying quiet till he can say stuff.
We knew Sinik would go and probably Amrabat too. However, most people would’ve expected Pedro to stay until recently and losing Puerta, Pandur and Hughes would be huge losses. I’m expecting a fire sale regardless of what division we’re in.
I don't think people necessairly expected Pedro to stay or if they did, they expected him to be a bit part player not an integral part. Most have been slating Jones and Slater all season. I and others have also said that Puerta's option has likely been triggered because someone's offering more to us than the option was worth. The only two in that list who would be big losses are Pandur and Hughes, the two players that I said just yesterday we would sell if we needed to raise cash. So not a shocking list in that sense if we're relegated.
Pandur, Hughes and maybe Kamara are the only players worth any significant money. Apart from that I imagine there’ll be interest in Jones, Slater and Palmer as they’re proven/experienced at this level. If we’re as cash strapped as it looks like we are, it would make sense they will all be going. Alzate will be on a fair whack so we will probably take a lower offer to get his wages off the books and you’d think Puerta we will flip like we tried to do with Giles last summer . That’s assuming we manage to stay up. Total fire sale if we go down and getting less money for the valuable players we do have.
that articles a load of bollocks we may or may not sell those players, but its not saying anything with any sources or anything we dont know i could just list a bunch of players and say theyll leave too, the fact they include sinik in there is a laugh and shows they have no actual info
Agree. Can't fault his effort & commitment. Same with Amrabat. But we need more than that. For me it should be Palmer or Crooks (one for 60, the other for 30). Probably Palmer to start imo. Derby game was absolutely crying out for him in that position 2nd half. Bizarre how he didn't get on at all.
To my knowledge Palmer has never had a good game from the start? Although I’ve probably missed over half the games now.
Said it plenty in past months, he should have featured far more than he has. More stats now to back it up. Even more bizarre when Joseph has had so much game time, with virtually no impact. Baffles me.
I think Palmer has made some significant impacts from the bench which has skewed our perception that he has been hopeless when he has started. I think he’s done ok when he’s started. He started in the Stoke and QPR games during our 3 game run and our away win at Blackburn. He’s been no better or worse than the rest of the team in the other games he started. He got back to back assists from the bench v Oxford and West Brom and this has suddenly turned him into an impact player only.
I’m not too sure about this , I believe there’s a good chance Acun will offer him a new deal , after all he’s a Turkish International !
