João Miguel da Cunha Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Are we that desperate to part ways considering he’s clearly proven himself at the level we’ll most likely be operating at next season. Consistent record with Preston during his first spell in the Champ, looked more than capable in short cameos behind Vardy & Daka. The Stoke loan speaks for itself, poor side by all accounts, yet he already matched his Preston record in under half a season. Good luck to him regardless, intrigued to know how his career will pan out.. 1
Benji Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Wtf are we doing. We’re soon to be relegated with our main striker close to retirement. He is a proven goalscorer at that level. At this point I can only think the top brass are actively trying to take the club back to the dark abyss. We will sell our prized asset Mads in the Summer, be a worse team than 2 years ago, have the FL on our arse and a lower PSR loss budget. The club is being ran atrociously and hoping to pull a rabbit out of the hat every season, with no long term plan. 2
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Everyone seems to think he so clearly isn’t up to being in a relegation battle here or to fire us up next season, yet we are selling him to a team who are much better run than us (not hard) who will be using him to fire them to promotion this year (potentially) and help them fight relegation next year. Go figure.
HarryDee8 Posted 20 January Posted 20 January (edited) If we go down, then selling him is a dumb move !!! If the club used 1 Brain cell - if he ain't good enough for the prem - then loan him out for 6 months Edited 20 January by HarryDee8

For once I feel they’re actually using a brain cell for a change 🤷🏼♂️ 3

Mickyblueeyes Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Cannon has the potential of being a good striker and I even think that applies to the PL. He isn’t there yet. The thing is (putting aside why we are here) there is little room for manoeuvre in order to bring players in. And we absolutely need to bring players in. Yes, we all feel we are gone but realistically, we can’t just stop trying in frigging January. Even though it feels like we have. To do that, we need make adjustments to recruit players 1, 2, 3 etc. I’m not sure how many will come in and that adjustment but our only decent transfer fee coming includes is Cannon. Now either we sell Cannon, which many don’t want. Sell Mads who again no one wants or we do nothing, I think if we did the latter, we don’t deserve to play out the season. It’s a lottery, you hope it’s right but we absolutely need to roll the dice and we have no other option but to sell Cannon, 1
MPH Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Club are clearly desperate to stay in the prem and want someone who will be prem ready now, I’m guessing. So my question is.. where is this prem ready striker? And why haven’t we signed him as we slip further into the abyss?

We will do what we always do and scour the top 5 leagues outside of the premier league for an out of favour player who was decent once upon a time. Then throw a loan with an obligation if we survive. These players tend to become available at the end of a window when a club realizes nobody else is buying them

Young strikers with prolific goal scoring rates go for a lot more in the Championship. Look at Piroe. He isn’t that great and this is smart business to cut out losses and free up PSR funds to re-best in the squad. 1

It does make sense as you say, just not sure i trust Glover and Rudkin to bring in the right player in this window. 1

The problem is our recruitment in recent years gives me no confidence we can reinvest £10m in a way that we’ll be in a better position, particularly up front. 1

Thebluefox85 Posted 21 January Posted 21 January I just don't understand this! maybe he doesn't want to be here to just sit on the bench don't blame him when you see the state of the squad! but selling him makes zero sense! got to be worth giving him an opportunity given the mess we are in.

Its money to reinforce a position we really do need to I assume (Why we have no money after passing PSR is another question....)

coolhandfox Posted 21 January Posted 21 January 15 minutes ago, moore_94 said: Everton are getting % of profit If this is true we will see 9.5m, so there will be a positive swing of 4m on our PSR position. Free up enough space to spend 20m if we buy players on a five-year contract. 2
