Dynamo Kev 1,557 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 fabio, would be no great loss if he did go. we still have friend and christie both are better than him imo. Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I wouldn't want to lose Fabio, we need to build a squad not totally destroy one,deadwood excepted Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmy 140 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Don't think we'd get a better full back than him for £2million. Makes no sense to sell him imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, who we getting for £2m to replace him? Christie was only around that range because he had 12 months left on his contract and Derby (or rather Rowett) weren't keen on keeping him.

AstoriaBoro 152 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I can't see that happening unless he's desperate to return home. I'd be more inclined to see if his brother is available. Link to post Share on other sites

There isn't many better full backs in this division IMO, based on the fact he can play both sides. Even if he's not a guaranteed starter next year I'd rather keep him as it's 1 sub to cover 2 positions comfortably. We wouldn't in a hundred years get someone that good for 2 mil. If that story is true I'd guess it's more that he wants to leave for Brazil than us wanting him to leave Link to post Share on other sites
akadave 2 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 There's more talk about ex-players because we as fans are better placed to comment on their ability than players that have never played for us. We more that someone like Kalas can move to the area, settle and product a good/very good standard of performance at this level. It's a no brainer really. Can' help but think he'd cost a fair bit though. seriously, including you-know-who and gary pallister, the ONLY player who was as good for us on return as in his original term was Colin Cooper - and he came back as a centre-back not a full -back.

Out of curiosity - do you have anyone in mind who is a better (and available) full back for 2 mil? we just got christie for that and gunter was for even less. i bet we could get pretty much any fullback in the league for 2-3 million. now fabio might be a decent option but if he wants out then our hands are tied and we'd have to buy a replacement. i'm not saying sell him for the craic. i thought that was obvious really, why sell someone from first team squad if you dont need to. bit vague and open for interpretation what i initially commented so i guess i deserve the interrogation :D Link to post Share on other sites

To find a fullback better than Fabio for 2m you'd have to do some extensive bargain shopping. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Changing Times Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 To be fair to Fabio, he was one of the better bits of business we did last year. It would be odd for us to be offering him around but then again we do seem to be culling many of the additions we made last season so maybe he is seen as someone that also needs to be moved on.
