If we get a bag of magic beans in exchange for Butterfield I will consider it good value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have Ledley and we are probably in a better position than he expected. Focus will be on shifting people out I reckon, and maybe one winger in. Can't see any more than that. Major surgery not required. Better not to destabilise good work so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktwo Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 we will certainly benefit in the FFP world with MAJOR salary savings if we were able to move on : Olsson / Forsyth Shackell / Pearce Martin / Russell Anya Bent Weimann also Bryson, Blackman & Butterfield ... That should free up so space for incomings ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sold 12 players we would certainly need to bring in quite a few players... not all of them you listed would we want to get rid of and many of them we probably wouldnt be able to anyway.

bucktwo Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 yea I know about Pearce ... Likely Shackall either one of the left backs Likely one of Martin / Russell Rowett alluded to the fact that some that move on may have done really well for him ... That brings anyone of the ones listed into the possible wheeler dealing and possibly others too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we secured Ledley on a longer term deal inbetween times but he was signed on 20th September, pre-dating the 'big window' comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Clubs only want your better players - apart from Sheffield Wednesday taking Butterfield which still makes me chuckle but unfortunately I am sure he will be back in May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 As it’s been said already, quarter of a season 12 games played between those quotes, we have gone from 15th in the table and 5pts outside the top 6, to 6th and a 2pts away from 3rd, 3pts from 7th. Possibly frustrated by the collapse of the Kieftenbeld transfer 27 days prior, Ledley has since gone from being a temporary stop gap to a long term signing having proved himself. Clearly the situation has changed between these quotes as it does quite often in football. If anything this is a positive for the club that January is no longer a month where we need to go big and pay the inflated fees. Outgoings are still obviously a priority given the size of the squad and players that are not involved currently. Would be surprised if anyone thinks this should be a big window now given our position in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
