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. Very true, but you'd have thought that we also wouldn't have to sell him for such a low amount either... which leaves the following possible things: * Will has a clause in his contract * The deal isn't as bad as it looks (see comments on wiping out debts to Watford.. which I can't really see being true) * Gary has basically told MM that he doesn't rate Will at all and he'll hardly ever play so you may as well get what you can for him * MM / GR don't want to hold him back anymore (again, possibly owing to a clause or owing to being good eggs) * We are skint (ffp?) * Will isn't as good as we think he is or * None of the above.

Yep - The classic 'refund of season ticket' has reared it's head I say. Just bump these posts when we've won a couple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lord knows how, they are in the PL. He's likely to play and improve there. Shame, just when Thorne is returning, we let him go for nuttin. This club's self-damaging dealings are nothing short of mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 From their forums - £4.5m rising to £7m agreed according to SkySports. Even if he's a dud that's a cracking price for such a talented young English player. Gino's absolutely shafted Derby over the last 10 months I'm sure Derby fans will be happy with the trading that's gone on between the two clubs. They've given us £12m for two fringe players, we're getting their best young talent for £8m Effectively swapping Hughes for Vydra looks like a good bit of business from where i'm sitting (living room) or of its the quoted price of 4.5 mill then we ve swapped Anya for Hughes.

Day Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I don't see what's wrong with fans valuing a player higher for what he is being sold for and being upset about it. Rather see that than players tweeted how **** they are, not fit to wear a shirt, sell the lot of them after a defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of our creative sparks doesn't sound good to anyone, so Rowett must have some interesting signings tucked up his sleeve...I hope...

Rab a dab doo Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 BBC reporting that the fee is only 4-5 million up front the rest is add on's up to 8 million. An absolute steal if true. Are we suddenly skint that we have to sell the family silver cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 we need our ITK posters to clarify the fee. 8-10m was a bad deal any lower then its time to riot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactooos Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That an absolutele criminal price for Hughes. Utterly pathetic by the club, less backbone than a slug. Watch him go to Arsenal for £30million in the next three seasons, all the while Rowett will be laughing with his severance pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 1 hour ago, QuitYourJibbaJivin said: If 4.5m is the correct figure I can only imagine maybe we've come to an agreement to write off some of the Vydra and Anya fees? There's no way we'd sell Will for that figure. Surely? Possibly? Hopefully? I am not sure that can be legally done, VAT etc 1 hour ago, McLovin said: Confirmed 4.5 million on sky sports, think this links back to what I said before that the Anya and Vydra remained costs will be wiped out. Again we can only hope about that but it is very unlikely and probably the reality is that we won't have to hand over any money this year to our new masters Watford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_chop Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 No deal is better than a bad deal, or is that Brexit? Anyhow I think it's not a bad price considering he never lived up to his potential. I had him on Football manager 2016 and can confirm that in the 2020 season he was in Reading reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just now, PistoldPete2 said: I will be demanding my season ticket refund if this deal goes through me I am not joking. I don't recall a clause in the season ticket renewals allowing us a refund if we were unhappy with transfer dealings. Also, none of us know what's been going on behind closed doors. We don't know if there were any clauses in his recently signed contract or if he's asked to be allowed to go. The price might feel very low in our own heads but I don't think there is a queue of potential bidders lining up to offer more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
