Sell before we buy!

[Koke]

That would free up a lot of cash, it's well worth selling Fryatt because if we could get £3m+ for him NP could find 4 or 5 decent players for that money.

Where are all those so-called players who will get 15+ a season and who cost no more than £750k?

Selling Fryatt would be a monumental fatal mistake at this moment in time.

[Matt]

The only one relevant now out of that lot would be Milan on his own and don't be fooled into thinking it or any of it is coming out of his pocket. It would all be loans that he would rightly expect to be reimbursed when he eventually sells the club.

That being the case lenders may cough up for an extension to the ground for the World Cup but they're not going to invest in players that have an outside chance of getting us promoted and if we don't and we've hocked ourselves even more there would be threads popping up everywhere saying LCFC need some money otherwise the cheating bastards will be cheating again

Yeah I understood now it would only be Milan, Obviously Council, Government, F.A were not going to put money in for new players I didn't mean that.

I didn't think about loans for about Milan, then paying those loans off and probably making abit of profit himself when he comes to sell that club. That makes sense.

Good points against and throwing my arguement out the window

[Guest]

I still can't believe that people really thought that MM was going to spend millions on new players, expanding the WS etc.

[Nick]

Sell Howard, Dickov and Cambell there's 48K a week freed up and about 2 million ish in fees.

Then let NP go shopping for two new players on decent money.

That sounds like a good shout to me.... on paper, anyway.

That would be a significant January re-investment.

Huddersfield recently turned Howard down saying he's not fit enough, who's going to pay a fee for him at his age

I fear we'll sell Fryatt in January so I'm not looking forward to this at all. I wouldn't mind replacing him with Billy Sharp if he does leave though, that mans in some serious form this season.

Am sure Waggy or Gallagher could do a decent job alongside Kermo or Howard.

When was this supposed to have happened? Not good enough for a league where he scored 15 times last season and numerous assists. I don't know you and perhaps you are in the know but that just sounds like complete bollocks to me. Was good enough to start and score on Saturday in a higher league. <_<

[Tilley]

Dickov & unfortunately Campbell will probably leave but that will leave the wage bill looking healthy.

I'd sell Howard & Neilson. I'd recall Gradel.

People saying "Sell a few players and free up some cash!" Why? So Pearson can waste it on players like Gallagher. Pearson is better at bringing in loan players and free transfers.

[Candidcamera]

I don't mind Dickov and Cambell going but steer clear of the players getting into the team including Howard. Having Gradel available would be like getting a new signing.

He is quality!

Each to their own though.

I think you'll end up eating your words by the end of the season mind

[davieG]

Most of our players are only suitable for Level 3 or 2 at the most and there's hardly anyone out there who can afford to buy up their contracts.

[Guest Mee-9]

Let's not all panic.

Nigel Pearson Will Not sell Fryatt.

He's just probably means the players surplus to requirements. Maybe he could be obtaining cash to inject a bid for Waghorn.

Who knows?

They're out there somewhere on this Earth.

We just have to find them.

My point was that selling Fryatt could allow us to buy a centre back for 750k, a centre mid for 750k, a winger for 750k or a striker for £1.5m or two strikers at 750k each.

I would rather have four 750k players than Fryatt.

Somewhere, there are four quality players avaliable for 750k each. NP and Shaky will find them.

Tis very true what you are saying.

Would be quite a big risk though.

Whats the problem with selling Gradel anyway, he hasn't even played for us all season, if he was that good we wouldn't have sent him out on loan.

I would happily see Fryatt, Oakley, Howard, Dickov, Dj and Gradel all leave, as long as suitable replacements could be found.

That would free up a lot of cash, it's well worth selling Fryatt because if we could get £3m+ for him NP could find 4 or 5 decent players for that money.

Are you mad

[MC Prussian]

Just to make this clear, even to maddog: Fryatt is more than just a decent player (at this level). And some players are loaned out to gain match practice, imagine.

Never sell a winning team, but one's allowed to enhance and refine it and I am more than just confident Pearson and Shakespeare have been scouting the league(s) for bargains for quite a while now, knowing they won't have much cash at hand during the January transfer window.

[volpeazzurro]

He was lying, he never thought we would be in 5th & talk is cheap!

I think I'd have to agree with agree with you. Do we own the ground, NO. So how much money has he actually put in if any? Or has he merely underwritten certain debts which maybe tax advantagious elsewhere in his empire. Players in have largely been loan deals or cheap with those actually purchased I'd wager, being affordable via sales of any existing players together with income made from ticket sales and other business transactions after paying overheads i.e. players wages. Why did people have to stump up for renewal of their season ticket around March last year if they wanted to keep their seats? We were told that it was to raise revenue for Pearson to buy players, but no-one buys players until July/August, do they think we're that dumb? All that having been said, I don't blame MM because too many clubs are in dire straights due to overspending and a period of stability is what our club needed. I'd just prefer a little more honesty about it all, we're all big enough to understand. On players, I don't see anyone rushing to take DJ or Dickov off our hands due to wage demands. Gradel is still a good prospect imo and we'd be mad to sell our top scorer even tough he isn't everyone's cup of tea on here (I personally think he's quality at this level given the right service which we don't. Brown and Neilsen could go, the latter being a very poor aquisition imo but, we'd only raise about £5.50p for the pair. I can see Howard going as we've given Kermogant a deal, though I'm yet to be convinced by him.

[Sniffer-Clarke]

Yes i think thats about spot on,we have imo over the last few seasons accumalated quite a few average players for a club like city,. i do get pissed off when i read and see the kind of players forest are signing and a few seasons ago they were about bust

We are one of the best supported clubs in this division,the club generates income other than match days from various events at the club but when it comes to signings we always seem to have to look for frees or loans.

Why?

We KNOW Fryatt is good. The players we bring in could be total cack. And you do know we're only allowed 11 men on the pitch at any one time?

The grass is always greener.

[iBleedLeicesterColours]

Howard , Dickov, Campbell, Neilson, Adams to go and then we will have decent money.

Billy Sharp, Chaplow, Tudgay, Steve Morison, Grant McCann, Ivan Sproule, Kerrea Gilbert all possible replacements
