I’m shocked by the whole thing. Assumed they wouldn’t be this stupid and got it wrong. Still can’t really wrap my head around it.
Dan Neil will be sold to fund next seasons transfers no doubt and i serioualy think it.. Hasn't signed a renewal and only a year left come next summer.
They were in league wanna year ago mate they shouldn’t forget that yerrrr knarrrr like a few on here being up every time we question owt.
I'm not surprised he was sold as he is at the peak of his value as a Championship player, I did not expect that bid to be accepted. Completely shocked that they found it to be acceptable taking the Spurs sell on into account.
I’d have said £25m to include a desperation tax but I’d say £20m is value tbh. The sell ons to Spurs were the bargain for getting him in the first place, so I see that as an extension of the £1m or whatever we paid to actually get him. More than worth it in the end.
Any indication from what you’ve seen as to why? Was reportedly turned down a few hours ago and now it’s full steam ahead. Baffling even for this f***ing club.
Genuine question. In the era of PSR how do you NOT sell players? One answer is going up. If you don’t go up then what?
fair point. I just wish we’d push the boat out a little and have a go. We’ll find out in the next week.
You didn't just defend them , you called out posters on here again, calling them moaners
I've never said don't sell players.
Nope, completely baffled. It's even weirder that he trained today when the bid was reportedly in, took part in prep for the weekend and then was sold for a clearly below par price.
So what’s the depressing bit about it? That it’s the one that commands the most value?
That's who Ipswich were after along with Clarke
Not enough money in the coffers for the incomings, or him kicking off and asking for the move is all I can think of.
Still feels extremely low however way you try to explain it. I don’t think we will replace him at all I posted I was worried when I read one of the lads about to sign operates off the left a lot that it meant Clarke deal was imminent. It seems is spending fees on players this whole summer has been dependent on selling someone to finance it, just so happens we’ve sold the biggest jewel in the squad for a shitty fee to do so. No pressure on the new lads then just the what 20 goal/assist to replace when they’ve not played in English football. It’s a massive gamble and could have cut the legs out from our season before the first international break.
It would be nice to have a budget ourself for the summer and sell players to add to that. Unfortunately our budget is a big fat zero and we can't sign the players we need like strikers, until we force our best player out of the door for a below par price.
