Damien Duff signs for Fulham, fee undisclosed


Recommended Posts

The income that will be lost by not returning the premiership this season (£30m at least) is far greater than the cost of keeping hold of the players who might be capable of getting promoted.

 

Selling Duff and Taylor may save the club £15m or so but it’ll almost certainly end up costing us at the very least £30m, substantially more if we stay in the Championship past the end of the parachute payments.

 

What Ashley is doing doesn’t make any sense.  He’s cutting off his nose to spite his face!

 

 

Or alternatively we could sell Duff and invest the same money in a better player on a quarter of his wages.  Obviously that's unlikely to happen but if we're talking about what we should do that's it IMO.

Wonder if we might bring Lovenkrands back now?

 

Well worth a punt, before Rangers offer him a deal.

 

Cant see that happening, be highly suprised if he touched us with a barge pole after the treatment the club gave him after the season. He should have been offered a contract the day after Villa, if not earlier.

He aint got any other options really, beggers can't be choosers and that works both ways.

Simpson is NOT a replacement. Simpson is a right-back, Ryan Taylor is a right-back. We needed another right-back. Ryan Taylor is not a winger; he's barely even a footballer.

Ashley or whoever may think he's a replacement but they're badly mistaken.

 

;D great quote

2 keepers, 1 left back*, 1 centre half*, 2 right backs,  no left winger, 5 centre mids, no right winger, 3 strikers 1*

 

*Could be sold.

Omg. Surely even fat Ashley will realise we can not be left with that.

I still believe this poll would be more like 70/30 towards selling him if he hadn't scored last week.

 

Tbh I think LuaLua deserves a run in the side, and probably should have been used more towards the end of last year. We're not in the position to hold him back, and admittedly based on not much I think he might surprise a few.
