Guest Brummiemag Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Would be surprised if a club like fulham are prepared to pay Duff's wages which must be a least £50k per week - if it goes through does this mean we may continue to pay a proportion of his wages while Ashley pockets the transfer fee? It just gets worse and worse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Jonas, Duff and Smith leave: Recognised* players Goalkeepers: Harper, Krul Right-backs: Taylor Centre-backs: Taylor, Coloccini Left-backs: Enrique Right-midfielders: Lua Lua Centre-midfielders: Barton, Guthrie, Nolan, Butt, Geremi Left-midfielders: No-one Strikers: Carroll, Ameobi, Xisco *Criteria - No 'unknown quantities' (youth players, basically) / players in their correct 'out and out' positions With no manager. Taylor, Enrique, Coloccini, Barton, Krul all very possible potential departurees too. Wonder if Ashley has actually realised we will soon have no players left?

If Duff goes I hope it means that the sale of the club is imminent because that squad is scarily short of experience. Needs investment in every area.

Alberto2005 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Fulham is a very good shout IMO, they just offered 4m for Jonathan Greening who can play wide left and wasn't Duff at Blackburn when Hodgson was manager at Blackburn? Clutching at straws mind. I'm basically a Randy Lerner ITK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GAMMELL Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Snap their f*ckin hand off, £4M and his ridiculously high wage off the books. Other side of the coin though is that most probably not a single cent will be invested in the squad from this sale leaving us absolutely thread bare 1st team wise. Aaaaggghhh!!

mattypnufc Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Get rid. Can't beat a man, stops, turns round and then cuts inside, meanwhile the defender is on his arse hassling. Injured fairly regularly, high wage bracket, recouping most of the money in a 4m deal for a 30 year old who's legs have gone. Sell. For those worried about someone taking his place, 100% certain you would get more effort and speed out of one of the youngins. Watching the resi's Baheng would be better than duff.

Guest Taff Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Players with wages like Duff's need to be sold on for the long term good of the club. A Championship club, even one as large as ours cannot sustain wages like that. This is also why players like Collocini, Barton, Smith & Butt need to be moved on. Clearly they need to be replaced, but I can't see that happening. I'm guessing if we sold Duff, Lua-Lua would be the replacement on the RW. Might get some width that way, something I though we lacked on the weekend. I think, come 2nd September we will be playing with most of last season reserve team with a few high earners here and there. Which saddens me immensly.

nobby_solano Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 it's hard to say, we're paper thin squad wise and he's our only scorer this season but £4m is a very good price. i read somewhere that trappatoni was kinda putting the squeeze on him to leave, saying he'd only pick players playing in the highest division, a bit like how he kept bleating on @ given to leave newcastle...

Belfast Boy Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Anyone thought it may be the hierachy putting these messages out for them to turn around and say look we are not selling all of our 'best' players Or, more worryingly, they end up going for less.

steve_69 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 If I could be certain we were going to sign some players to fill the huge voids in the squad I'd say snap their hands off. Duff has been totally ineffective for a long time, and has looked a shadow of his former self from the moment he joined the club. There's a chance he could do a job in the Championship but we desperately need pace on the wings, and Duff doesn't provide that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
