If we would wisely reinvest even just half the money we should get for him then it would virtually guarantee promotion.

Unfortunately, I don't think we would, so I am against the sale.

Exactly. It would be pissed up the wall more than likely.

We need to keep him. At present he's worth more than money to us.

Can anyone see him getting a game, big leap from league 1 to Premier league.

He might get one but he would be unlikely to get two. Can’t remember us having a prospect as overrated as Dan. He is a liability to our promotion prospects this season.

He doesn’t get near the opposition when they have the ball. It’s like playing with 10 men when we lose it. He doesn’t mark a man, chase, run, tackle but he might play two or three sublime passes in 90 minutes. Oh - and he must have gone to the same training school for shooting as Scowen did.

He is a class act imo. Intelligent, great range of passing, will only get better. A superb prospect.

The club should issue a hands off warning until we're back in the Championship at the very least.

Not sure you can issue a hands off warning as a league 1 club when Prem clubs are interested with their money, but i think we did as much as that when Speakman said we don't intend to sell him in an interview last week. We will only know how this window has finished at the end of Jan when it slams shut (Always liked that phrase )
 
Clear as day he's got potential, will look even better with better players around him, in addition to more time to develop.

It would need to be a fortune to get him away. The lad has more ability than Henderson did at the same age IMO

He’s also very happy here -one of the first names on the team sheet in his breakthrough season -rewarded with long contract-good family around him who are watching over him at the games -loved by fans -young lad who is settled -my guess would be he will not go anywhere.

they are throwing money at it...
but clubs do sell their best players and progress, for example brentford.
and more recently from this league...peterborough. thats literaaly what successful clubs do.
the problem is safc were one of the clubs who didnt do it!

Peterborough being doing it for years mate.
Aaron McClean and Craig Mackaill-Smith were the first two I remember who were plucked from non league. Both made the club a tidy profit

Shurup man we’re trying to dissuade Villa not encouraging them

No worries. Can't see us being interested.

You really think that? Surprises me, without having any knowledge of the lad. Didn’t Henderson play a full season for you in the PL, while doing very well?
