Be telling if he doesn’t, or typical he starts scores 2 then does his acl
Yeah probably a part of my skewed view of what I want from SAFC. I tend towards player development even over 'win now' moves. Defo realise that I'm in a boat on my own on that one though
Just read that it's that cheap because Auston Trusty is going in the other direction
Browne, Jobe and Rigg have the more advanced positions covered but I'm not confident of them covering the role Neil is doing (maybe Browne will prove me wrong at the weekend). So yeah so one comfortable playing deeper would be the best replacement for Ekwah. I'd keep Aouchiche though, I like having the option to go with a number 10 when things aren't going to plan and we need a goal.
if he doesnt then surely....Be telling if he doesn’t, or typical he starts scores 2 then does his acl
Nah I get that mate but I think last summer the club went down that route and kind of ignored the here and now. If we're too bring players in they have to be of a higher quality than what's here obviously with certain exceptions as we're not going to replace Clarke like for like or with a better playerYeah probably a part of my skewed view of what I want from SAFC.

I think Browne will be able to do a good job in that role. In fact as he gets older he may only do that role. (I mean in a couple of years).
I'd still be keen to see Triantis in the role. Was a shame he missed the league cup game.
I dont want it to drag on till Friday, things could fall through and youre left little time for a replacement terms/medical etc. get done by thursday.
Definitely a player in there.would need to be prepared to double his work rate off the ball tho
Agree. We should be signing players to improve the team continually not standing still and waiting for players to develop. Before you know if you’ve missed out on promotion another 2 years in a row and half our Xl have moved onto better things.
so if Robert’s can do it maybe Ekwah can get with the program.
The sell on percentages dont bother me, its what we had to do to secure some of the talents at sensible values, no doubt we will be adding the same clauses into any deals we may do. Its the way it seems to be done now for most clubs when they sell younger players.
We just havent had any to sell for a few seasons.
The sell on fees shouldn't really be considered in how much we sell for. They're just deferred payments against how much we paid for the player.
We can't expect clubs to pay extra just because we owe other clubs money from it. The market value is the market value.

Or Leicester trying to off load him?
Agreed, although it does change the calculus on whether the deal is in our benefit. Does shifting Ekwah on make sense if it provides us with £2.7m to strengthen the squad on his departure?
Leicester want to sell him but from what I can tell most offers are loan to buy. Probably want a bidding war so we bid higher. Dunno if they’ll get one
