Cardiff £1.5M bid for Woodrow rejected

Woodrow is worth far more than that but as usual the minute anybody wafts a half baked bid under these locusts noses they will bank it.

Mowatt brown and Woodrow will go for probably a combined fee of £7 million when instead it should be double that.

£7 million covers relegation this season so in the locusts eyes we have balanced the books.

The puppet of a ceo we have will have the string pulled on his back and make the usual crap pre written statement that they wanted to go etc etc undisclosed fee etc etc

all he has to do is tippex out the names of all the other gems they have sold for excel spreadsheet profit margins and the statement reads the same word for word

it’s the same old story we must be the laughing stock because other clubs know that if they bid a third of the true value for our best players this board will always sell them.

our ‘gems’ get replaced with lower league and cheap foreign gambles and the whole Groundhog Day of forever going backwards and stunting progress on the pitch with zero ambition is ok with this board as long as the excel balance sheet shows a profit

Woodrow I suspect £2 million and the same for mowatt is what these jokers will let them go for probably

 

Simple under 5 million don’t sell

Hope the new gaffer puts him in his rightful place up front he’ll get double figures this season and will play a big part in keeping us up which is worth a lot more than the poultry 2 million mark that’s been speculated.

Name me a youthful championship striker with 2 years on his contract who scored double figures in champ who’s been sold for 2-3 million recently??? doesn’t happen.

We will never move forward if we continue to devalue our assets.

Brown + Struber money = running costs for season we DONT have to sell Cauley.

 

Sunderland paid 3 million for Will Grigg. The idea that we should get less for Woodrow and somehow that's a great deal makes no sense. I d be a lot happier if he found his form again but we know its in him.

 

Could you please tell us were you got this information from Stairfoot.

 

Ludicrous if true. We need to take a leaf out of the Darren McAnthony book of good deals and stick to the following conditions: 1) no chance of any sale unless a more than adequate replacement is secured; b) don't even start to talk unless a bid of £5 million is on the table. When will we learn? Moore gone on the cheap. Pinnock - how much would Brentford value him at now? The only thing that occurs to me is this: does the board attract players like Cauley only by the insertion of a clause which allows them to talk to other clubs if an offer over a stipulated amount comes in? If so, please delete that clause on any future signings.

 

1. He's our best goalscorer and worth more than 2.5M to Barnsley.
2. He's been playing in a system that has meant he has scored less goals than he has done normally. That Head Coach has left the club. Let's see what happens with him playing in a different system.
3. We shouldn't be selling our best players if we want to survive in the Championship especially for peanuts. £2.5M for Woodrow is peanuts.
4. I think we're about £4M quid up this transfer window already and that's before we factor in the reduction in wages of what is approximately another £2M
5. Did I say he's our best goalscorer?

 

Like others before him, as Woodrow will see a more lucrative future elsewhere, he will be pressing to go and a deal wil be done.

It's not smart to set a precedent which shows us as a problem club for young ambitious footballers.

The fee will most likely be undisclosed.

 

Undisclosed

 

Simple answer, keep him.

 

We play in the same league as a club that has just sold their star striker for £28,000,000 a player with a very similar strike rate as Cauley form is temporary.

 

S

Spot on

 

Selling to another league rival should put more value on aswell. We will sell for 2 million sign a player half as good from Austria for 750 000 if were lucky, give him a million over 3 year contract that leaves 250 000 for Paul and chien to go to a brothel with while telling bfc jokes to each other.

 

I thought he had already signed for Birmingham

 

The facts dont lie though;
Joint top scorer in 18/19
Top scorer last season
The only scorer this season.

 

Why do we seem to revel in knocking our best players, particularly whenever there's any interest in them? All of a sudden Woodrow hasn't been championship quality for ages according to some posters and isn't a finisher and we should take what we can get for him etc etc.

Woodrow's last league goal was against Hull City away I think - approx 15 games ago. He's seriously off-form atm but don't most strikers have spells like that? Then they get one, it leads to another and they go on a streak again. Watch this - at times last season he was excellent: and showed real quality. He carried the team at times last season.

IMO he's a very good player who is off form, he's been affected by not having a more physical player up front with him (which makes the failure to replace Moore even worse) and also by being played out of position. We need to find and sign a striker who will complement him and stick with him - he'll come good again.

As others have said, we should definitely not be selling at a price that means we can't sign a quality replacement.

 

That's photoshopped

 

When you start a thread with this sort of title/ headline why don’t you show or mention your source. Even if you source is in confidence you could write something like ‘have it on good authority’ or ‘reliably informed’ To leave it like you have doesn’t deserve the title of the thread and becomes just another far-fetched random rumour.

 

We shouldn’t even be putting a price on his head, should be saying he’s not for sale. If someone comes in with something 5m+ then fair enough, but to sell him now would be foolish.

 

What a load of tosh.

If they are ambitious and perform a club will come in and pay the going rate. The only bit we get wrong is we sell too easily. Weird you never see players down tools for their current club when we get knocked back on bids - Whiteman being an example.

You should watch the Spurs documentary about them selling Christian Eriksen to Inter. They make it clear to him due to the stage the club is at they would only allow the deal to happen if it’s fair value in the current predicament they found themselves in (injuries and wanted a replacement)

I’m pretty sure any coach/ceo should be capable of sitting with a player and saying he hear you want to go but it’s got to work for all. It then allows the player to pressure the buying club/agent to the press the empathises on that the club too.

 

Is this true or something you’ve read on another forum?
