Spotty's Seriously Sub-standard Second Rate Transfer Thread.

[Hoboh]

Bit strange if we have a fire sale and the 'crap' left behind start to win games

[Bijou Bob]

Posted on the old thread, sorry! Rumours on twitter of Mavies to Boro for 500k. Half what he's worth IMO, but if it clears him off the wage bill. ....

This thread should be called The Exodus.

Exodus, all right! Movement of Jah people! Oh, yeah! O-oo, yeah! All right! Exodus: Movement of Jah people! Oh, yeah!

How many of our players would interest others for market value? Not many.

But for the knock down desperation sale we are supposedly in, I suspect quite a few will be of interest elsewhere.

There will be some we would hope would raise transfer fees (Zach, Sparky, Amos). There will be others we simply need to get off the wage bill (Wheater).

Everything including that which is nailed down is up for sale in January at the Macron according to Iles. We are desperate for cash. Suspect squad will be stripped bare. Depressing.

With the exception of Clough I wouldn't feel sad for any of them leaving. A clear out of the stench of failure is just what is needed and a bunch of try hard cloggers and youngsters, untainted by the last few years, to start us onwards and eventually upwards.

Clough and Amos are the only two I'd want to keep and I reckon those'll be the ones guaranteed to go. If there's a firesale!

Tempting as it is, I can't join the queue wanting to throw the babies out with the bathwater.

I think we have several players who are very capable at this level, if self-evidently underachieving.

I further think that replacing them with players (young, old or in their prime) who will do better, on buttons, might not be as easy as some think.

I definitely agree.

We've supposedly been ridding our squad of the overpaid, give a shit, fancy dan's for the last couple of years. Players such as Petrov, Ngog, Eagles, Mills and more have been moved on to make way for cheaper players who don't have the spectre of Premier League relegation haunting them.

And now we can't wait to move these on too, for even cheaper players who work even harder but who are even less talented and capable. It's just a downward spiral.

The current squad, in my opinion, is not that bad on the whole. There are some decent players in there. Selling them will just make us weaker.

I don't agree, whilst we have a number of poor players, we will lose the better half of what we have. For peanuts.

And those peanuts will be used to pay the bills and keep the shit half we have in salary.

When we are eventually taken over we will not be signing another Clough or Davies and will be barring millions to spend, set years and years back in all respects.

People make out selling off physical and player assets is a good thing, but we are doing it for a short term fix.

Frankly I think administration might be about as good as this with the benefit of reducing our liabilities and letting someone start with a clean slate.

I'm not saying I want a wholesale sell off. I said I wouldn't mind if there was one. These are two different things. I also excluded the best players from the second statement. I don't think DSB that there are many wanting a wholesale sell off ( fewer than you hint at) I think!

Clough maybe, but not this chancer.

Oi? How come this thread didn't get an exclusive on Brattan's farewell... is that how shit it is?

Mines shit! but yours is shitter

Not only shitter but lacking a qualifier too by the looks of things: Spotty's Seriously Sub-standard Schizophrenic Second Rate Transfer Thread

Clough maybe, but not this chancer.

Agreed. He's finally got the run of games we've been craving for and produced feck all. I'm
Not for a fire sale but I'd snatch the hands off anyone offering money for this talented loser. He can take his disappearing act elsewhere. What a let-down.

[BWFC_Insane]

I agree with those who say Mark Davies is overrated. He doesn't produce nearly enough. I have some sympathy that he is almost always played out of position.

His goal scoring and chance creation are far too low though for an attacking midfield player.

However he still is for this level if nothing else a competent player. I doubt we will have many of those left if the vultures do come a circling.

Quite true, but if he's getting paid 4 times the average squad wage for merely average performances and we need to reduce wages then it's simple.
I won't regret his loss, just what he might have been. I honestly think his BWFC career highlights were in our imaginations when he was injured.

slightly less effusive than your opinion last year...

Not at all. We miss his creativity. He'd be brilliant in front of Spearing and Medo. In fact I'd say that midfield would be miles ahead of owt else in this division.
