Because that's the strategy, buy players with potential, develop them, sell them at a profit before they run down their contract and reinvest the money in more such players. It's how Crewe worked it for years only we've a much bigger budget than a small club like them.Why do we need to cash in? We will basically be getting the equivalent cash and not having to disrupt the squad at all via the Gyokeres sale. We’ll hopefully get a smattering of cash by selling Simms and a couple of others. Really don’t think we should be getting rid of our one RB.
It would be nice to get a replacement in for him before we let him leave, might be quite a novelty for us to do things properly for a changeI like him
But let's be honest. Hes been pants this season.
If we can get 10million quid for a bloke who had 1 good season I'd be taking it. Start the summer rebuild early
Would also mean we can look to keep Haji, as Sheaf will also go for 5 or 6 million in the summer
So EMC on the right? He can play there, although stronger on the left. If everyone was fit I’d like to see an EMC - Wright - Tats front 3.It’s a team effort, we’re clearly not functioning as well as last season and to me, it’s tactical / coaching.
COH hasn’t pulled up trees at Sheff U and with Rudoni having a higher goals and assist output, it hasn’t been a massive loss.
The Sakamoto-MVE has been overhyped, they had a good spell together but they’re inseparable. I could see MVE benefitting playing behind EMC who’s a lot more aggressive running at players.
MVE is at his best when he’s getting the ball in space and too often he was getting the ball in traffic on Saturday.
Doesn’t matter. Tackling is no longer part of the game.I havnt seen a worse a right back that’s a worse tackler
There is plenty of tackling just a clamp down on tacking that is reckless or when the player is not in control.Doesn’t matter. Tackling is no longer part of the game.
You mean like we did with Simms before selling gyokeres...It would be nice to get a replacement in for him before we let him leave, might be quite a novelty for us to do things properly for a change
Typically relevant post from you.
Simms signed 7th July 2023 and as you say Gyokeres left on the 13th July but I believe Robbins wanted Simms to play alongside Gyokeres.You mean like we did with Simms before selling gyokeres...
People are talking about his performances and his link up play with Saka not being what it was.
(Also Saka's performances)
At their peak last season there was an additional factor that is not present this season.
(Not banging on about him like others) But that factor is O'Hare.
The triangles and what COH did in terms movement, occupying players and his quickness in moving the ball, was a key factor in how well that side of the pitch performed at its peak last year.
Still signed his replacement before he left tho. The idea that we never do is just bollocks isn't it?Simms signed 7th July 2023 and as you say Gyokeres left on the 13th July but I believe Robbins wanted Simms to play alongside Gyokeres.
Well you were saying it’s a factor to consider. Why?
At no point did I say "he played Van Ewijk and Saka in".Did he fuck. He hardly ever played Van Ewijk and Saka in. He turned and went across the box into no mans land away from his support players
At no point did I say "he played Van Ewijk and Saka in".
No way we sell one of our best players and only RB in January, and I wouldn’t trust this recruitment team with the money we’d get for him if we did, he’s struggling because sakamotos been found out this season. Teams double up on him, it’s hard for MVE to get forward like last season, like to see Raphael get a few mins, bit more direct than saka, loves to run at players,
I feel Raphael is the wildcard for the 2nd half of the season. Very direct winger. Hopefully start to see him get some minutes because he’s been impressing in training,
I think Harmer episode did it for me!Still signed his replacement before he left tho. The idea that we never do is just bollocks isn't it?
I do wonder if we could adequately replace him for the money we are likely to receive right now, let alone fund improvements elsewhere. He stock was quite high after the Man U game where he looked every inch a PL player. This season - less so.
No doubt Dean Austin will have identified some quality replacements though. I presume we have moved on from Camera.
Not bothered about Sheaf but would be sad to see MvE leave.
MVE used to have the freedom to roam about up front. Because of our crap defence he now has to hold back otherwise it leads to a big gap at the back. Once we have someone dependable on the right of defence that has more pace than a snail, that is unless we get someone like McFadz who can read the game, should be given the freedom to go forward again.I’d be the opposite.
Sheaf has given us much more than MVE has over the time they’ve both been with us.
Milan has frustrating potential but hasn’t consistently shown it whereas Sheaf quietly delivers

But Robins knew that Gyokeres was off for two months by then?Simms signed 7th July 2023 and as you say Gyokeres left on the 13th July but I believe Robbins wanted Simms to play alongside Gyokeres.
If we can get a high fee in January and we can bring in Lampard’s preferred additions now rather than next summer then I’m ok with it.Selling MVE in the January window would be short sighted to me. Many of our supporters live in cuckoo land thinking it is easy to just pluck out a quality replacement (think Hamer). We need to bear in mind that his predecessors in this league were Dabo, Da Costa and Kane! If we need to sell I would rather at least wait until the Summer when there might be more competition for him, creating a higher fee than we can probably expect right now.
That's fine if we have the choice, but the reality is that a bigger club decides when it wants to recruit, and if it offers money in January, because that's when it needs the player, you either accept, it or lose the sale.Selling MVE in the January window would be short sighted to me.

Shef Utd offered O'Hare a much bigger wage and a better chance to get back to the PL.€12 million euros and it's a done deal, anything less isn't worth it.
We saying MVE, Wright and Sheaf are the next to go, where does that leave us as a club, honestly you're left with EMC, Sakamoto and Simms are your best players. That's a shit squad imo.
We need to be keeping Wright, MVE or Wright and Sheaf. Move on MVE and put your hand in your pocket Doug.
You trying to sell us the promotion dream bullshit, yet our key players are forever linked away to other clubs, clubs that we shouldn't be selling to if we are serious about getting out of this division ie Shef United.
O'Hare is a prime example, he's moved on to a club competing at the very top, why is it we can't even keep hold of a player leaving for a club in our own division?
If we are to get out of this division, EMC, Wright, Sheaf, MVE, Sakamoto, Simms, Dovin and Bidwell are integral to our push, the rest of our squad needs rebuilding with more quality. We don't sell our best fucking players to do this Doug, you get your cheque book out and spend.
Show some intent and next season, you might find season ticket sales stay the same.
We should have done the same mate, why is Shef a better option?Shef Utd offered O'Hare a much bigger wage and a better chance to get back to the PL.
Bidwell? Haha€12 million euros and it's a done deal, anything less isn't worth it.
