Just the nature of the prem being so loaded with cash. I’m not denying that at all and I fully understand. But we know that these teams have the money so we should be trying to get as much as we possibly can from them like most others seem to be able to do, successfully at that!

Naisby 736 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I’d heard rumours about Leeds interest and possible bids for Britt yesterday but really didn’t think we would consider selling to Leeds another Striker so soon. Link to post Share on other sites

In two years for us he has played 24 games against teams that finished in top 6 (incl 2 play offs vs villa). He failed to score in 22 out of those 24 games. Better defenders can mark the 6 yard box better and he barely gets a kick, it will be the same in the prem, he isn't equipped for it. He's done it at every club he's been at? PL doesn't mean better defenders. Just because he doesn't score against the best doesn't mean he won't against the worst. Feed him and he'll score. RVJ was the same sort of player and no one slated him for only scoring in the box. Extreme example but players who come alive in the 12 yard area and finish are rare.

TAPOUT 361 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Its obvious that some peoples opinions are polarised on playing style etc, however we are selling fry who can play the ball out from the back in the way Woodgate wants for?£15m, and keeping Randolph and Britt who will consume half of that in their salary over the course of their contracts. Its mad. Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,055 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) THE SKY IS FALLING! Love this place .. ? First we all laugh at Charlton fans having a meltdown ... A few moments later... Some rumors got a big bomb to explode on here and everybody is arguing ... Things were more peaceful when Tony reigned ? (sarcasm) (I must write that, or else some ppl tend to wanna hang me) It is what it is .. Just let things happen and see where we end... I am sure we are not just selling our best players and bringing in no body .. When we have all ins and outs, we can judge the window! ? One boro One love - One meltdown .. It is what it is ❤️ 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Old Codger 3,063 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 have to admit that if we only get to keep one of three main assets, it has to be Randolph....I remember what happened when Schwarzer left..... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure he wants to keep all our players, but surely he also understands that the club needs to raise funds to be sustainsble. I knew that so I'm sure the manager does! I don't get the shock at us potentially selling our best players. Some of us were predicting this months ago. Link to post Share on other sites

Podraig Amond from Newport has done it everywhere he has ever been, but he wouldn't get a kick vs Tomkins or Cathcart let alone Van Dijk or Laporte Link to post Share on other sites
