Lady boys at this time in the morning was not an escalation I was prepared for. Think it might be the Coventrian.
Rose Rumour (10 Viewers)
- Thread starter Skybluefaz
- Start date
Don’t know how true this rumour is but we are now a championship club and our players should command championship fees.
Hopefully just a rumour but we do sell a player most close seasons if we get a proper fee for Rose or anyone else for that matter and the manager gets a decent slice of it to invest that’s how football works.

Do a Football Manager, take over Man City and make them buy all our dross for tens of millions.

Isn’t this our model isn’t this how we work now...? Buy cheap and make profit on sales?? If Leeds want him they would need to pay big money for him, we just find the next Rose to replace him! Brentford have a very similar set up if it works as it works we won’t be far behind them soon!!

Hmmm, It's usually at this time of year that agents start posting stories as they attempt to renegotiate contracts for players. I think Rose deserves a new enhanced contract on a longer term.

I do now. Prior you pointing it out I read it as a blood curdling scream.

I'd imagine we will see contract extensions in the next few weeks. Happened after league 2 promotion so hopefully happens again.
Coronavirus has fucked up the market now but I can't imagine a club who are more than likely player prem football will be looking at Rose. I mean no disrespect he's clearly been a great signing and has excellent potential but Leeds can have their pick of established championship defenders if they want, would they go for a league 1 cb to join their prem survival team?

Can’t believe between now and next season whenever it is there won’t be loads of these. Our model is identify good young talent give the opportunities and make a profit the repeat.
Did we miss Bayliss last season, no but for some we had gone backwards. This happens to virtually every club in the land. It’s how you reinvest that makes the difference. Saying that if he goes you would now expect good money in excess of £4 million+

Can’t unsee. Do you think some people don’t realise these things are visible?

Players will not be going this cheap. We are a Championship club. Only issue is he’s in his last year of his contract but I think we have another year in our favour?

EFL Zone literally just repost news from other places. They don’t have any sources, it’s just some guy running a news aggregation Twitter passing it off as their own news or making shit up.

Exactly
Purely from a footballing side, I can't see how we will replace him for 5 million. Even if we get another good defender in, he won't have the cohesion with Fadz and Hyam like Rose has. Do we really want to disrupt that the first year we are in the championship and likely to struggle? I could understand selling any other player, but not from the back 4 (GK, 3 CBS) thier understanding of each others game will be the backbone of us staying up.

Cov fans mate, if you used to play for us or come from Cov there will always be a cov fan who wants you to sign.
Willis is a double bonus for them
Fair enough, but they were the quickest in announcing the end of the league so thought they might have some reliability. Happy if I am wrong!

They didn't announce it, they reported someone else saying it.
They are a news aggregation feed i.e. they just repost other peoples stories.

Theres always a small portion of fans obsessed with bringing back old players.
Grimmer, McNulty, Willis, Bigirimana, Baker, to name a few.

I'd be amazed if you knew who Michael Rose was before he signed for us. I didn't. Why don't you think the recruitment team could not replace him with another player who we may not be aware of?

If it floats his boat then good for him, just not sure his employer or family and friends would necessarily be so understanding!

You are right... I cannot see how they would replace him for 5 million... You would replace him for around a tenth of the price or less.
That's the benefits of good and well prepared scouting... bringing in players whose abilities are above their price tag... an example being... ooohh let me think... Michael Rose.

Regarding efl zone. They claim to be in the know, they are really quick at posting 'news' but they are just finding it out from othes and tweeting it. They tweeted about our potential signing putting a deposit down on a house in Kenilworth, that came from some bloke on twitter first.
What was telling was during the league 1/2 ending meetings they claimed they had insiders in the room but the first news that broke was from the forest Green chairman who tweeted, people then asked them about it and they did a tweet basically resayin what he said. They didn't know shit.
Anyway as for Rose knowing our contract system we'll almost certainly have another year and I imagine we'll be offering new contracts quite soon. Could be a long summer of transfer speculation and a team as good as ours, people will look but I hope it's only speculation

I see your point absolutely, and if we were staying in league 1 I would be less worried with the prospect of loosing him. But going up a league I feel it's the most important partnership to keep together. Staying up pays more than the 5 mill.

Not true... Snowflake said it first. Granted, it was about 4 weeks early, but he still said it first

These are the same type of sites who said Bayliss was going to Liverpool and McCallum to Man City. As usual it appears to be a story supplied by an agent to a site who will publish anything

I like Rose, but he's a centre half who has never played above L1. Some of the figures suggested on here are ridiculous. Our entire budget next season will rise from around £2m to £6m and that includes wages. If we got £2m-3m for a defender and can re-invest on more creative options then it's good business. I'd trust the current scouts and management team to find a suitable replacement.

Every club is a "selling club" bar the top 3 or 4. The only way we can survive is by selling one player a year for good money.
We have not done too badly lately - McNulty, Chaplin (at a profit), Bayliss and McCallum, all of whom were replaced by upgrades despite the wailing and nashing of teeth on here. I would prefer to hang on to Rose, as the consensus seems to be he is the best all rounder of the three centre backs and probably the quickest. But if Hamer is £1.5m, then a Rose replacement is affordable if we get a reasonable price. £5m is optimistic for a League 1 defender on the basis that McCallum went for a max of £3m only over time and Rose is a little older..
The successful clubs at our level buy cheap and sell dear and do it continuously season after season after season. Until the current regime, with a few exceptions, we have not. We actually need to do have more ins and outs to keep the club solvent.
