80 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 6 minutes ago, The Prophet said: They had a conditional obligation if I recall correctly. Unless we've had their pants down like we did Forest, it seems unlikely. My recollection is it was an obligation should they be promoted. Seemed like a clever deal at the time...

They're still in with a shout of the playoffs. We can but dream. Would love to know what the agreed price was even if it doesn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give him for free and we'll take Krul back. See if they fancy Darlow for a few million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Any future for him then? Limited but always put a shift in. Under contract till 2026 so would be almost impossible to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Respectfully, no. There was a time I thought we'd make a healthy profit on him, but he's simply not cut out for a team above 15th. He's a good athlete that can keep it somewhat simple, but overall he's a touch too injury prone and doesn't really fit into a specific role at the top level. He's Jeff Hendrick with a better engine.

OverThere Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Wouldn't he be an option for the cups especially the early rounds? It's hardly he is that bad a player. Bottom half of the PL but an able back up for certain situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Was pure class under Rafa. Versatile on the pitch filling in at RB and CB as well as DM. Sadly seemed to regress to broken and unfixable under Bruce. If Howe didn't want to keep him before then he must be too far gone. Can't see Eddie changing his mind. Real shame as he only just turned 28 a few months back, should be in his prime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Scored the last pre-Howe goal. He doesn't have a future. Yes he'd be fine playing early in the cups, but he's not going to get a league squad place so we won't be keeping him. Important player in the Rafa years.

Pilko Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Important to remember his positive contribution in the Rafa years and even when he was Bruced he always gave his all despite personal issues off the pitch. Anyone advocating a return to the squad now, however, needs to take off the rose tinted bins. His passing was always absolutely chronic and we need someone of far better quality in there these days.

TRon Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 He'd be fine for a championship team if he had a better injury record. We'd probably have gotten a decent fee a few years back, but his constant breakdowns and relatively high wages makes him a liability now. Nothing to do with his ability. While he is never going to pull up any trees, he could definitely do a good job at that level if he was 100% fit for most of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Mike Ashley handing out 6 year contracts to championship level players and signing the likes of Castore and Fun 88 onto long term deals, when he knew the club would likely be sold, is ridiculous. He probably did it on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Speaking entirely hypothetically here, but could we in theory give him a job looking after something random if he was unwilling to terminate his contract in order to nullify FFP? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
