ryanegg Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 His only qualm here is not being first choice I think. Where is he gonna go that he’ll be first choice? Nowhere that’s challenging for Europe I can think of in the Prem. All teams know they need to manage his minutes too. I’m biased as he’s one of my favourite players for us, but really hope he stays. I trust whatever the club has to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 He’s 32 and falling apart. He has 1 year left on his deal and we aren’t going to give him a new one at 33. If the club and Wilson have any sense, he’ll go to Saudi on a fat 2 year deal where we can make 10-15m while he still has value. ideally you’d keep him as a squad player but Wilson is unlikely to want that given it will impact his ability to negotiate a good deal a year later. We’re also not in a position with FFP to let him go for a free next year and then have to replace him. Far better to sell him this summer and use the money towards replacement.

So on one hand they think he’s worth £40m but on the other they value Isak at £83m? Crazy Edited May 6 by Gawalls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially that it gives that bit wiggle room in not having to cash in on bigger players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might think he can get a fat last pay day as a free agent next year. He's on a fairly new improved deal here and probably not in a rush to move. Agree if an unexpected good offer comes in the summer we should do everything in our power to sell. Don't see one coming though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Yasir needs to tell one of the clubs in SA to bid £20m for him. Not impossible or hard to defend like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Henderson went for £12 million. That's your benchmark for an inflated Saudi transfer I'd say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this isnt true, if we are putting him in the shop window no way he should start a game. 20 minutes in each remaining game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be a regular starter for a decent sized club who could easily punch above their weight as a newly promoting team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure he’d go there, he said in the Amazon doc he likes being as far away from Coventry as pretty much possible.. I can’t blame the guy? Leicester is a bit too close to home. Not sure he’d care but the Cov fans would hate him if he went there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
