I think people over-react a bit. We've only really lost KDH, who Hamer is probably not far off, and otherwise our side was significantly better than Sheff United's last year.

The issue with kdh is not so much his attacking output (which is replaceable ) but his defensive work re pressing..  We will struggle to find someone who can contribute in both directions as he did.

Shame. Would much sooner have got rid of that clown Wout Faes.

Loan moves suck.  We still on the hook for wages and his book values winds down till he can leave in a free.  Just fire sale him

we often get a fee for a loan which can offset the depreciation in value.  Plus we would have agreed for Sheff United to at least pay SOME of his wages. And if he plays well, we might get a decent offer- better offer than someone taking a punt on him having only played in our reserves..

 

Not all loans are doom and gloom.

2 managers who haven’t fancied him now

Bearing in mind we are again likely to be vulnerable at corners with Mads' height, I'm surprised he wasn't handed a chance.

 

And one look at the video from Brentford and Newcastle away in the relegation run in shows how valuable he can be in a low block. 

 

It's been a disaster for him. I wish him well. But Sheff Utd really is the pits of a.move. Total knackers yard for players. They play the same old garbage Yorkshire players and Yorkshire managers for decades; Billy Sharp and that fella Chris someone at the back.

agree - but a fire sale would be a better option - we are not loaning him out to develop him are we?

Cooper wasn’t wrong about trying to be similar to Enzo, he’s even freezing out the same players……

No I suspect we’re loaning him out as a better option to us keeping him and not using him, and nobody else is willing to pay his book value/cover his wages.

Poor signing, this. Absolute panic buy

we don’t need to loan him out to develop him, we need to loan him out for him to get exposure and get some games. Bigger chance of getting a decent fee if he’s had some games under his belt.

Hopefully get a couple of million on a loan fee.

I remember being hyped about getting him because Danny Murphy raved about him at the World Cup

That's the point you should have started worrying, mate

 

[jv1]

was only ever going to be a loan- we cannot afford to take a loss on him because of ffp- same scenario with soumare - we paid 12 for him didnt we so his book value 18 months on is probably still 5m and nobody was going to pay that- this way it just kicks it down the can and next year his value will be nearly zero so any sale would be profit

Nah, get paid the best money of your career for sitting on your arse and correct me if I'm wrong but has being frozen out here affected his selection for the matilda's??

Do we know if we have sorted out an obligation to buy? Doubt we have because we are ****ing useless.
