Sorry mate am I reading this wrong. Brentford have offered £5 million up front with add ons and Rico Henry too ?
You reckon Pinnock is a gonner? I don't understand why owners can't say no and reconsider in the summer? It's not like his value will decrease by then
Yes I'd agree. At that price he's gone. But to fair to the Club i don't think we can be expected to compete with teams like Brentford, Millwall, Luton etc... We're just not in that category.
That’s what it’s sounding like mate, Andy Giddings is reporting that Huddersfield made an approach for him
So to summarise Potts - Gone Moncur - Gone So far we can cope We can even cope with the loss of some more fringe players - so if Hedges or Isgrove or even Jackson are moved on and are replaced I still think we can cope but In the offing GG - goes to Nice in Feb Winkler - off to Hudds next week Pinnock - off to Brentford Any more...? Hope this doesnt turn into January 2017 and we destroy the side mid season If the owners are taking the money out and not re-investing the fans will over time give up on them - see Blackpool for how that works
IF (and its still if, we supposedly turned down bids in the summer for several players) we sell Pinnock, it reiterates the message we'll sell and the new regime isn't different to the old, maybe for a few quid more or a sell on clause, but ultimately, we'll sell whoever whenever and just keep putting faith in a conveyor belt. I agree with the fringe offloading, but our goal is promotion and signalling we actually weren't all that bothered would be harmful to our future prospects, and I hardly imagine some of our fan base will have leniency as with the previous owner.
If we’re serious about getting to the prem we should reject it out of hand. We’re bigger than Brentford.
Honestly think if we get an offer in the region of 3.5m or more we’ll sell. Jackson & Lindsay did really well together last season & I’d imagine the board would be happy to go with that until the summer & probably bring another defender or two in now to be back up & eventually replace / go in the team ahead of Jackson. I’m not saying this is what I’d want to happen but just been realistic about what I’d expect if the board have received an offer
