They did have interest in him before. Would make sense as allows them to get a body in as well as money which might appeal to them more considering there restrictions atm.
There was almost a point in pre season when a mutual termination was going to be agreed, so he could go there as a free agent. Then Haji got injured.
Doesn't shock me at all, just lend more credence to the idea, we would give him away with the deal. Helps us with wages and means they get the player they want. Also don't know why but got a feeling Luton did a similar trade last year?
Not sure on the Luton subject. Yes, i think the idea was to free up wages for us.
Got the luton bit wrong, they loaned him back out as opposed to trading players.
Where is this from ?
Who would want to own a football club
I still like him despite his iffy form this season, but if its good money you'd take it.
Sell if we can right? Good player but could enable us to get a decent amount in to start the Lampard rebuild?
Totally agree @Gibbo
Don’t disagree although would hope to keep one of the three (likely Sheaf) just for continuity in the new squad
More double digit - that was the number in summer late on I believe? (Certainly north of 6)
Think the rumor was £9.5 million if not wrong. Also we’ve got to keep in mind we’ve got a sell on fee for Milan
Shame if Wright goes, he's our best player by a mile.
Suspect he will in summer - either with us getting offer too good or him pushing for l”move.
No he’s not sadly. Maybe had his head turned. Based on this news since if not wrong both are big European clubs.
Based on one good season, and not even the current one, we've been lucky to get the £3m we paid for him back.
To be fair this is what we promised and sold all the players, is that we’ll get them a top move with or without us.
All about potential though isn’t it. See crazy fees now a days for players we haven’t even played a minute of first team football
True but transfer season would be so dull without them
