If we are unable to move on any of the latter then selling our main assets means they need to be replaced by players who are at least as good as, if not better. Our record of selling 'cheap' and buying 'pricey is not a particularly good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 £2m would be a steal. However, get one in for £1.5m, next. Meet them in the middle. Like how this transfer window is going so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all 3 are part of a squad that hasn't achieved anything. Got to trust Rowett in what he wants to do. For me, and I said this at the end of the season, there isn't a single player that I wouldn't sell for the right price. Plus whoever goes would be replaced. Let's just say we got £10 million for Hughes, £10 million for Ince and £5million for Keogh. So £25 million for the 3. I don't necessarily think that they are all worth that much. But I think we'll agree that it's not unrealistic. Judging by how well Rowett is finding good value in the transfer market (Potentially £2.5 million on Wisdom & Davies) I'd have every confidence that if we were to sell all 3 that they would be replaced more than adequately. We've had 4 years of failure. We need changes. Not wholesale. But a lot. And sometimes the only way to do that is to sell assets. Of which we do not have many who could fetch £5 million plus.

We go in low and then make it look like Liverpool drive a hard bargain when we pay £2m! I'll bet there'd be a sell on clause or extra if we get promoted but I think £2m is a fair price for a proven player at this level.If he does come I hope he comes by taxi this time!?

I remember Huddersfield selling their prized asset in Butterfield to us, I felt so sorry for them at the time, poor old little Hudds being bullied into selling their best player to us. They clearly invested that money wisely and look where they eventually ended up. It can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the sale of one of a clubs best players is not always a disaster and in some cases can work out well, I would however argue that selling three of your clubs best players in a single transfer window is a bit mental.

That says to me we haven't bid for Wisdom and Liverpool aren't willing to sell for only 2 million. The agenda with the story is to highlight the fact we are willing to sell Keogh, Hughes and Ince. Maybe we are desperate to raise funds so we can actually start bidding. If I have read into his tweets correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be surprised what I can get from two tweets. Someone had shared the story by John Percy to him, to which he put Loooooool (I may have the amount of o's wrong) He also said, the headline was being used to draw people in (as in us Derby fans) and that the story was more about the second half, as in the second half of the story which refers to us selling 3 key players, potentially. Seeing as he is Wisdoms brother, the fact he clearly laughed off the fact we have bid for Andre would suggest there is a good chance we actually haven't.

I'm inclined to pay more credence to John Percy than someone who uses the term "LOOOOOOOOL" on Twitter. Pays your money, takes your choice I suppose.

Sparkle Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 At least we are trying to be reasonable with money and bidding sensibly- I am still so annoyed at what we threw away on the likes of Blackman Butterfield Johnson Vydra and Anya - should have been about £10 million at the high end for all of them instead of what £ 27 million ! - the only one to get a regular start will be Johnson!
