AKCJ Posted 19 August 2016 Share Posted 19 August 2016 SOme people seem to think that because we're Champions that our players that got nowhere near the squad should be worth 10x more than they actually are. Â 1m is more than fair for a player that couldn't get on Brentford's bench ffs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear.. I didn't say the owners and manager weren't pulling together. By "conflict", I don't mean fighting mad, or anything that is causing tension, I just mean a different attitude to players who aren't going to play. As a homegrown player, Moore had his own spot on the Champions League squad, and there is plenty of room on the PL squad. Ranieri said that those who weren't given squad numbers that maybe it would be better they moved on. Then the club held up his transfer trying to re-sign him and put him out on loan. If that's what they wanted, the easiest way would have been to give him a squad number and let him train with the senior squad, and not exile him to the U23's. Plenty of people training with their first teams are going to be loaned out before the end of the window. I wasn't presuming anything; it was conjecture. The situation with Moore seemed to drag on for no real good reason. Moore certainly thought so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwichfox Posted 19 August 2016 Share Posted 19 August 2016 what,s all the fuss about, 1 million was enough to buy Vardy or 2 1/2 Mahrez, and one less wage to pay for someone who doesn't figure in current or, apparently, future plans. Now Liam at least has a chance to enjoy making his living playing in a first team on a regular basis. I say good luck to the lad and I hope he does well.

He was an important part of our team 2.5 years ago, so it would have taken a higher fee to get us to sell.  Still think we should have kept him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016 I remember telling my mate he will be a future England centre half before the 5-3 win against United. Unfortunately he lost form the next game and  never recovered.  good luck to him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto.  Some transfers ought be seen as a part of a broader context, it's not about the transfer itself but also about the players and clubs aims and ambitions. If a player, any player, no longer fits then you move them on. What a player is worth, or what anything is worth for that matter, becomes secondary. Primarily you want to achieve an objective, you try not to let money become an obstacle to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016  we have a pub team who have no chance of beating the greatest Arsenal team I've ever seen. Henry couldn't lace Chuba Akpoms boots.   You can thank me later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016 Good luck to Liam, he showed some really promising performances at times, particularly alongside Wes.  Looking unlikely he will feature here now given the defensive options we've got, so hopefully he can continue to develop at Reading and work his way up to the top again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016 This situation feels like a stain on your clothes that no matter how hard you try and get it off it doesn't go away. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 20 August 2016 Share Posted 20 August 2016 Good luck to him, he'll learn a lot from Jaap Stam. Really hope we insert a buy-back clause or a sell-on percentage as I think he'll go for big money if he has a couple of good years in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
