As he’s contracted, we can tell them to F off and McB will have to suck it up. Depends then how much he sulks...which is the problem with modern football.
He’s far more important to us than 12m (maybe a different story for the yanks). Unless someone comes in with a silly offer (20m+) then we simply have to keep him. |
Oh yes, I agree we should play hardball, but generally it’s just a matter of haggling about the price. We did it with Rangel though, and he settled down quickly. So yes, we certainly shouldn’t accept any old offer and 12m in today’s market feels low. |  |

Or if we're really lucky another Tommy Mutton
The idea of selling to fill the 'black hole' is all very well, but if we go down again another black hole opens up, leading to another fire sale ad infinitum |
Dont get me wrong, Idont think selling Ollie is wise but as others have said..when a PL club comes calling it is hard to hold on to that player.
We need to replace Ollie's goals...someone commented about replacing from "lower satndard" of football...I was just using the Vardy example....hey we have signed a so called goal machine from SPain In Baston from a "recognised" level....look at how that turned out.....
Hopefully our new recruitment team will source capable players within our budget....like we used to! |  |

No pace and no strength. He won’t do well in the PL. if we get 15 for him I’m sure Coope already has a replacement in mind. We really need two, an older experienced head and a young pacy striker, maybe from abroad where we can get better value. |
Borja Baston is it?
F*ck me, our fans, what a bunch of arseholes. 😟 | |

Marvellous. We sell him for £12 million etc and just nip down the local 20 plus goals a season striker shop and buy a new one for circa £5 million? Ffs people wake up! | | | |

We won't be spending anything like £5 million on a replacement striker.
Grimes, Roberts and Cellina could well be the next out if other clubs come a knocking. |  |

The point I was making was that if you keep replacing players on the cheap, you eventually end up with a worse team.
Yes, some non league players make the step up. The vast majority don’t. | | | |

Norwich made a decent go of it.
I'm sure they would have loved to keep Maddison and the Murphys but it wasn't realistic given their financial situation. A club can still progress and prosper if they make the right appointments. | | | |

Norwich getting promoted is getting like Leicester winning the PL.
Continually weakening your squad is not often a route to progression. | | | |

I agree that it all comes down to making the right replacement signings.
If Mcburnie grimes and VDH follow James out, it could happen with rumours regarding the first 2 and VDH in the last year of his contract, then there would be a lot of replacements required in addition to the gaps that we already have in the squad.
Smart recruitment is vital. | | | |

What was Sheffield United coming second, then?
The idea that teams will inevitably weaken without a positive net transfer spend is Premier League thinking. | | | |

He showed glimpses of belonging in the Prem when he was given a chance. Assist for first goal at Watford etc. If I'm honest Id say 12m is slightly low. He can knock em in. Surely we have to accept no one who does well with us is going to stay with us.
By the way I'm on record here and now. We have no chance of getting promoted this season.
None.
NONE. |
I don't think anyone had predicted that we'd be promoted this season.
Leeds, Middlesbrough and West Brom must be the favourites. |  |

Ashley Williams came from Lg2 whislt we were in Lg1 I think prior to which he had played no-league...didint cost us a fortune and did he weaken our squad? He contimued with us to the PL
I get the point that selling as asset such as a consistent goal scorer as Ollie is flawed if not replaced with similar "quality" but our secret to success since Roberrtos days was finding the "gem" from "lower" league at an economic price.
IT would be crazy for us to sell Ollie and then rely on CBR and Wayne....Our problem is other clubs will all be looking to do the same.
Buying form lower leagues doesnt always mean that you are weakening your squad.
Look at the goosip pages on BBC Football most PL clubs are in for foreign players. What happens to palyers from their acadamies who are released?
They may end up at lower league level....those with true potential then shione at that level...those are the type of players to look for and there are some out there. | |

Agree with that completely but I think a lot of us have no confidence in the recruitment process at the club given the disastrous transfers over the last few years.
If the new lot can identify & bring in players that shine like Rangel, Dyer, Ash et al then fine but it's a big if. |  | | |

Agree but a certain DoF is no longer at the club!
Hopefully the new team will be able to revert us to our previous modus operandi | |

£12m is a shocking price for a young proven goalscorer at this level.
Just please get in your head NO money will be reinvested into the squad due to the "black hole", we sell our best players in bulk every window, we will get relegated it's as simple as that.
Edit - The more I read your post the more I get confused, what in your head is telling you that we'd be "mad" to turn down £12m. Madness. [Post edited 21 Jun 2019 7:38]

I'm not particularly bothered if we lose McBurnie... Anyone else? He's alright, but limited IMO, especially in our system, he seems to be a square peg | |

Dont disagree but the priciple of operation is still the same as we keep getting told we are in a state of reset and rebuilding......hopefully back to what gave us success that ultimately led us to being an identikit lower league PL club.....shelling out huge wedge for "free transfers" and on players who didnt fit our style but had had some history of shihning in a froeign league.
We know nothing is for certain....Wilf great for us first time around a disiaster on his return.Andre Ayew....didnt set the world aight first time .....enough said!
Baston,CLucas even Tammy....scored 23 goals bor the worzels ( albeit at Championship level) yet only managed 5 for us....thenn scores 25 goals last season....wrong team wrong system or not capable of the step up?
It looks on the face of it that Birch is trying to sort things out....Leon and Curt know how we were succesful,but like everything nothing stays the same and tweaks are needed....but I dont believe we have to spend big and spend look for "headline" players even is this current state of rebuild | |
