TomBustler1884 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Midfield options Thorne - unbuyable unless fitness is proven Baird - last club most likely Johnson - nobody will pay high enough fee Hanson - not proven anything yet Bryson - probably not got a massive value Butterfield - doubt we would recoup the money Hughes is the only midfielder that is a saleable asset to the club. If his contract included provisions for accepting PL interest, plus high wage which is highly possible, plus a fairly average season, plus not overly impressing GR, it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he is going. A £4.5m cash payment, rising to £7m, plus potential sell-on fee for a player who has, it's fair to say, stalled a little over the last 2 seasons, is just about acceptable. The end of last season saw lots of people saying the squad needs shaking up, no one is unsellable, etc ,etc. Well that's what is happening. You can't force clubs to take players you don't want!

Mihangel Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I cannot believe the meltdown going on here - Do people realise how crap we've been for 3 seasons? You need to get a grip some of you, things have to change and it will be the best deal available, we can't sell Will for £20m if nobody is offering it.

archied Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 4 mill rising to 8 mill ,,is the extra rising 4 mill the wipe out of money owed on vydra / anya? Sounds more like it to me ,,, sad day for us as Hughes raised our profile and kind of became an iconic figure with the albino look and the cheeky youthful talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 This is the worst deal we've ever done. Rowett best have some answers on the pitch or his head will be on the spike right next to Mel's for this bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The only conceivable scenario is if Will had refused to sign a contract unless they inserted a 4.5m release fee. (Seeing our complete lack of vision, and lack of cohesion, it would be understandable if he wanted out). Knowing he would leave come the summer, that would then explain everything else - GR not playing him, and then letting him leave for a pittance. Otherwise, someone needs to answer for this utter travesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Us fans, the journalists etc know nothing about on going negotiations. All the knee-jerk reaction is ridiculous. Tell you what let's get 30,000 of us at our first home game to boo all game. That will show the club not to mess with us. Ps. It's not my money but why do you think a successful business man would undervalue anything.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If it's true then you just get on with it. Sad day, but c'est la vie. I'm only going to really fret if Ince goes too. We need players with sparkle. Tom and Will are the best we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomInceOnFire Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Surely other clubs would have come in if it didn't have anything to do with the Vydra and Anya payments if the deal is actually 4.5-7mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsy1884 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 GR better be a Wizard with his transfer policy to account for the loss of Hughes. As the remaining seniors are not exactly young or they have not impressed since they joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd to think that, in a quest to find a more stable, cohesive club...Will Hughes decides to join manager-a-year Watford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The amount of wrist slashers on here, it's no wonder we have such a poisonous atmosphere at Pride Park at the first sign of a bad performance or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
