Nuwtfly Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 We want to give the youth a chance but, also, sell the wee buggers. I don't understand this club sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 If that was the fee up front and there were serious add ins for first team games, sell on fee etc it's understandable. Half a season in the championship and a few goals at his age and he would be worth treble ala Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disappointing isn't it?! I think the people running DCFC have a small club mentality. Just look at some of the clubs now considered to be bigger than us.

RoyMac5 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 If we think he's sellable for that amount plus maybe addons then I'm all for it. That's what the Academy is for too. I'd be happy giving Gordon a go. Thomas looks very pacey and very raw to me, so I'd take the money now when we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Madness if we sell for that. How many millions did Forest get for Bamford without a kick of first team football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser_23 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 His Instagram story is him in London. Could be there to finalise the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimacked Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 At the end of the day, we snapped him up from Gloucester for a small fee, where he started his development. He's done well with the U23s. The Academy costs a fortune and we mainly let so many of our youth players go without getting a fee for them. This deal helps make the Academy and the club more sustainable. He deserved more chances from the subs bench but Rowett wasn't keen on flair. Lots of other youth players ready to try and get a bit further than he did with the club.

Kamikaze Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yeah this money pays for alot of the academy, but will still sting down the line when he's worth 10 times that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re so right. Trouble is it’s still an IF not when, I’d hate to see him go for what seems cheap and I wish he could be another Hughes but he wasn’t with us since juniors, quite possibly doesn’t have the same loyalty, so to cash in is possibly good business? Guess the club would be damned if they do, but damned if they don’t by all those saying nothing comes of our academy for all Mel’s investment!

Kamikaze Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Another frustrating point is that you'd feel like this upcoming season he would get much more playing time, and could blossom into a bonifide star! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we have a large sell on fee, in which case we'd be celebrating our nice chunk of money coming in again. That's basically situation his old club would be in when we sell. However if his nerves are getting to him at pride park in senior team action, how's he meant to cope at London stadium?? One of most toxic atmospheres around at the moment!

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 If he does go can it not be to West Ham? They will no doubt will re-write history if he turns out to be any good and claim he is one of their own and is so good because he grew up with "The West Ham way" which is about as much of a thing as "The Derby way". Cannot stand that club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
