Watch him go to Arsenal for £30million in the next three seasons, all the while Rowett will be laughing with his severance pay. I'd say more chance of him being on loan at a Championship club in 18months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say these 2 were almost certainly correct. I don't believe GR doesn't rate Will, it's not that binary. Possibly he's not absolutely key to our plans then the offer is too good to refuse.

PistoldPete2 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 5 minutes ago, Tamworthram said: 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. Fine if the club wants to defend it the that's up to them, but I will be demanding a season ticket refund if this deal goes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point, in the not too distant future, you will look back at these posts and cringe. I'll bite though, on what basis are you going to DEMAND a season ticket refund?

Ilsonram12 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 £4mill for butterfield and £8mill for vydra with £6mill for Johnson really puts a mockery to this transfer I can only assume there was a Sam rush clause in Hughes new contract deal for when a premier club come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdave85 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 It is what it is. I'm not about to go burning my DCFC bra about it. He is talented no doubt, he may be the best talent we've produced in the academy, but there is a reason no-one else has come in for him before now. We as a club haven't won anything with him in the side, he hasn't set the world on fire, he hasn't played for the U21's in this tournament, captaining behind closed doors or not, and his stats aren't brilliant. He has potential, and that's all Watford are paying for, because so far he hasn't lived up to that potential. Hendrick we sold for a good fee because he had a storming season and Euros at full international. Will can't get into the U21 side. If this is the time for Will to move on, then best of luck to him.

He may well go to Arsenal but this isn't the fault of Rowett is it, he is trying to remould us into a team and what assets does he have to sell? - Ince and Hughes because Hendrick has gone Thorne - great player but never on the pitch much bryson - been good for us but again injuries Butterfield- well no one would give us half of what we paid johnson - we would do well to get £2 million Anya - not worth more than about £600,000 vydra - £2 million ? Blackman- £500,000? olsson - £500,000 christie- £1-2 million keogh - £2-3 million martin - £6 -7 million bent - 0 carson - £2-3 million not much wriggle room in reality? But I believe he will get us promoted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if it's such a steal, someone else would have been tempted to come in with an increased offer. I haven't seen any signs of a bidding war. Players are only worth what clubs are prepared to pay and, it would seem, no one was prepared to pay more than the deal (full details of which we'll never know) that which may or may not have been negotiated with Watford.

Kennington Ram Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The worst thing for me is that it just makes me dislike some of the midfielders left at the club a bit more. Like Butterfield, who compared to Hughes can get in the bloody bin. I really, really hope we end the summer with a different midfield than our current one plus Glenn bloody Whelan. Will reserve judgment til then, but if that's it, I'll be upset unless somehow Rowett can turn the rest of the me-toos in our mid into gold.

Whilst this is true, if you have something you want to sell but can only get 50% of its value at the moment, you wait for a better time to sell it. Maybe this one has been leaked to the press so much as we are hoping it might get other clubs interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramit Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 i can understand Will wanting a try at the PL now, but this price seems very low. Will wait to hear the club explanation before passing judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
