Babylon Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 15 minutes ago, MPH said: Interested with how the mercury comment fits in with the ' don't want to keep anyone here who doesn't want to be here' line from Ranieri. Maybe he doesn't want to leave? Or maybe we are just not wanting our squad to disintegrate... Perhaps a case of it just being a bit to late in this window.

I would be surprised if, with the interest in schlupp going on for a couple of weeks now they they didnt have a potential replacement lined up. Although maybe it suggests that the targets we are looking at are from overseas and would take longer to complete..
CosbehFox Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 Deal broke down because basically Jeff went to West Ham's training ground rather than West Brom's
kingfox Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 This situation is a fvcking mess, why are we treating our players like jokes all of a sudden?
Dan Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 I just hope he repays us with £12mil worth of funny behaviour. That would do me.

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 As an avid disliker of Schlupp as a player for us that could mean he will get some game time...nightmare.

Jeff may not have the best technical ability, but he is a strong, powerful and pacey winger who can charge at a defence and create something when we need it. Really don't want him to go. i hate the "we don't need the money" comments, for me it shows a lack of awareness and understanding of value for money. £12m is great money when Albrighton and Musa are ahead of him and we have two young prodigies in Gray and Kapustka looking to overtake him. Man Utd "didn't need the money" selling McNair and Love to Sunderland for £5m but hey ho they've gone anyway. £12m is a hell of a lot of money for a player we really wouldn't miss at all, i bet when Schlupp eventually leaves the club somewhere down the line we'll evaluate this offer and wish we would have taken it.

Wow unbelievable .....look over last season and he played his part. He had some big impact at times and towards the end of the season was unplayable. Preseason against Barcelona he had a huge impact. Love him or loathe him when he pulls on that famous blue shirt I want him to be the best he can and he gets my support. i think some of you are spoilt.....if you had seen some of the dross over the past 40 years players like Jeff are a godsend.

I disagree. What I am saying is, our club is in the fortunate position where we don't need to sell players to buy players. We are financially sound. I would rather have Schlupp in our squad any day of the week than 12 million sitting onto of all the other millons in the bank. Like him or not, Schlupp offers something that nobody else in our squad does. He is incredibly powerful in his runs, a lot more so than Gray.

We don't NEED to sell but if we're offered over market value we should always consider it especially for non first team players I like Schlupp but I'd take the £12m over the player. It's big money to reinvest elsewhere and we would hardly miss him. When teams are making uninvited offers for squad players it's nearly always a good idea to sell unless you think that player hasn't fulfilled his potential and will get better. £12m for a player who is only really an option as wide left when we have Musa, Albrighton, Gray & Kapustka competing for that position, yes please.

I really don't think we need to sell Schlupp to buy another player.
Viva Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 I don't think we should be keeping unhappy players when: a) a very good offer comes in for them and b) they are deemed not good enough for the first team.
dannythefox Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 About time we stuck to our guns it's all well and good if we've got a replacement but we haven't. He can play 4 positions which is why he's important to us and I really don't think 12m is enough with some of the silly transfers going around.

Just because a player's not good enough for the first team doesn't mean we should get rid of them, or if a game isn't going our way we have no plan b and whilst Jeff doesnt have the best footballing brain in the world there's no one better to bring off the bench than him cause of his directness.

So you take the £12 million, and you say buy someone else. Who exactly are you going to buy that has pace and power on the wing? We're not exactly setting the transfer market on fire this summer are we.

Kwadwo Asamoah would be my choice if we needed a Schlupp-esque replacement. We'd just buy the player ahead of him in the Ghana side. As has already been mentioned. If Schlupp played for West Brom and we bid 12m you'd all be in tears.
lfu Posted 17 August 2016 Posted 17 August 2016 Didn't Claudio say he didn't want to force unhappy players to stay? I don't buy Sky's story tbh

Don't tell me he can fill in goal and at centre half these days, he has two positions where he is remotly competent, left wing back and left wing.

I'd be quite happy to have Albrighton & Musa fight it out and Gray & Kapustka challenging them as up and coming young players. IMO there are only three types of players we should be signing: a) Players who get into the first team b) Up and coming young players who are expected to force their way in at some point like Chilwell, Gray, Amartey, Kapustka, etc. c) Squad fillers who offer decent cover but are free or cheap like Hernandez, King, Zieler,etc. Signing squad players who are mid to late 20's for eight figure sums will eventually get you relegated.

They're messing about over Liam Moore's status as well, they're messing about over contracts as well by the looks of it. If reports are true Drinkwater deserves better, this Mahrez fiasco will drag on and on for the next two weeks. There's just no need for it after the magical fairytale of last season, messing about over contracts & money, are we turning into Arsenal or something?

I really don't think we need to sell Schlupp to buy another player. What we have spent so far this year is irrelevant, if we see an opportunity for a good bit of business we should take it. Don't worry about the bank balance mounting up as i guarantee it will be spent somewhere down the line. As has already been mentioned on here if we were buying Schlupp for £12m to pad out the squad people would be up in arms.
