jimmymag Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You'd imagine he'd do very well in the Championship, but considering some of the massive wages of dead wood which may be difficult to shift, might be for the best if he does go. He's been a bright spark for us without doubt, but that's partly down to comparing with the utter dross around him. He's still quite predictable more often than not with the old cut inside and shoot. We've got to keep some quality to give us a chance of getting straight back up. He'd be the first on list of players to keep next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Problem with relegation - players you want to keep are the players you can't keep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He will be loaned out to a prem team in the same way qpr loaned out loic remi. If we go back up we then have a quality addition to the squad. Same goes for the other players we want to keep. Perez might be loaned out also It's a nice idea but I reckon we'll be scrambling for every penny we can get, and selling any player we get a decent offer for. Problem with relegation - players you want to keep are the players you can't keep. Yep exactly. We got lucky last time. Colo/Jonas/Enrique hadn't settled yet, Carroll was yet to feature heavily, and there were a few good pros like Nolan/Harper left who nobody else wanted but managed to help us hold it together. I have no doubt that if we'd received decent offers for any of those players they'd have been sold to help balance the books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I'l be gutted if he goes as I've never seen his lass with her cracking tits out and about in town I'd really like him to stay as I didn't expect him to be anywhere near as good and I think he might be tempted to give it until January but we'll see!

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If there's a word that sums up a few months in the Championship, 'tempting' is not the first one I think of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 If there's a word that sums up a few months in the Championship, 'tempting' is not the first one I think of. Ha ha! He seems like a decent lad who might think he owes the club for bringing him out of the Spurs under 21s - we'll see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I think there is only really him and Lascelles that I'd be disappointed to lose. Maybe throw Mbemba and Mitrovic in that as well - the latter because I think he'll come good in the end. Townsend is comfortably our most dangerous player though.

TRon Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He tried, he played fairly well. Fair play to him. Hope the talk in the BBC of a £8m release clause isn't true, but if it is good luck to him. Why would we agree to an £8m release clause after paying £12m for him a few months earlier? I'd take that with a pinch of salt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 To convince him to join a sinking ship. But i thought it might have been a bit higher knowing our crew, so its probably 8million up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I don't know...facing Burton, Rotherham or Arsenal hmmmm. Bang on with your post about relegation meaning you can't keep the players you want to keep or need to keep as well. Think West'am may be a good call for those who come sniffing for this lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think he could stay, seems a decent lad with his head in the right place. Would be incredible in the Championship and a huge coup if we keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with Tron there, it's crazy to do business that way, if there is a clause it will be for what we paid for him, you would have to be out of your tiny mind and hopelessly bad at your job to agree to that....oh hang on a minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hope this lad stays. Good professional and would tear it up in the championship. Rafa clearly rates him and is obviously one of the players he needs to stay. I think there will be a number of Premier league clubs making offers though.

Alberto2005 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 He'll leave IMO. He'll have plenty of offers and at this stage of his career probably needs PL football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If anyone can convince him to stay it's Rafa, one season in the championship won't wreck his career and he'll be back in the Premier League before the World Cup if the England team is on his mind.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Absolutely superb signing and he will tear up the Championship if he stays. Some of his decision making is crap like but he is a constant threat and never stops. My player of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEEJ Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'd definitely have him in the England squad, like. He's just a constant threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
