Would he be a loss and how much would you sell him for? http://www.barnsleyfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10309~1211514,00.html
Would be a big loss IMHO.</p> And I think £350k - £500k should not be unrealistic. Decent Championship laiker and full international to boot.</p>
could you elaborate on "a big loss"............. he tries hard but IMHO isn't up to this level-far too slow and one footed-the freekicks (when on target!) are just a bonus</p>
Yes. Steady if unspectacular midfielder.</p> Proven Championship performer.</p> Full international, with a team who performed extemely well in qualifiers.</p> Trys hard (as I recall you mentioned). When we have non-triers, they are pilloried.</p> Quality free-kick taker (Beckham made billions from the same skill set.)</p> And for a team who can't really afford the luxury of a strong "squad", he is a very good squad player.</p>
If we can give him away for nowt I'd say we've done alright But I still reckon we'll have to pay another club an awful lot to take him off our hands.
Football is all about opinions I rate him above Ricketts, for example. About on a par with Togwell, actually.
Ricketts is just a non entity I'm not even sure if he really exists. I like Togwell, he's a trier, and if we were in League 1 he'd be a great player, but we're in the Championship and I don't think he's quite got it at this level. We need more quality in the centre of the park. Get De Silva bought.
