Listened to the interview with Tan. Impressed with what he had to say. Signing Baxter has eased the pain of losing Honeyman a bit. I’d still rather have kept Honeyman though and had Baxter signed as well.

I guess you can’t have everything.

I'm not happy that George has gone but I dont believe he was worried about not getting in the team
It must have been that we werent willing to pay enough to keep him
He seems the type of player others in the team wouldnt begrudge him getting more

Tan suggested they'd tried to offer a package within the scope of his pre-existing contract, so it could well have been length of contract that was the issue.

The problem is, the average wage in the Championship is crazy, and I'm sure George will be getting £15k a week, or somewhere close, at Millwall. But when we're shopping on the continent, you can get a similar player for an awful lot less

I would think that "within the scope" would mean to the end of the current deal with a one year option but that doesnt seem long enough
I wouldnt expect George, our best player, to be out of his depth with the club in two years time
Even if he was I dont think the club should expect that
If a club is in the Championship and hoping to reach the Premier League it always make sense to have good players before we are certain we have better players

I'd say the quality coming in is seen by the club as a step up.

Ultimately Millwall made a better offer for him than we were prepared to.

Do you think £15k is too much for George compared to untried players
I know it's a different setup but I can think of a lot of players who we bought from abroad who would struggle in League 2

When we were in league 2 we weren't signing players with uefa pedigree. Who came in having played at the likes of Monaco, lazio, Fenerbache, got to knock out stages of international tournaments etc. Not to mention actually playing active roles in getting promoted from this league?

If we cant find a place for George I would think we would be expecting top 6 finish
The main problem last season was finishing
before that it was defending

I'm thinking of players like Nick Proschwitz
we were in the championship then
he still didnt look like a striker
