Naisby 736 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Eze too expensive and not for sale, if we have to sell Fry then not one bit of that money should be spent on a player we would have to pay a massive premium to get. Saville was badly used by pulis last season and took time to move and settle, but is better than a few names I hear being used in his favoured position. Sadly Saville not first choice in his best role so has to play a different one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Trash? Jesus, you might not like the lad but that's ridiculous 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes moves just don't work out. Most sensible post I have read regarding Saville, hes not the awful player hes made out to be. We paid too much and it hasn't worked out as of yet but he doesn't deserve abuse and he isn't a bad player 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Naisby 736 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Tav would be better going out on loan for a season, he won’t be first choice and it will do his development good to play matches against players not in U23 teams or sitting on a bench. saville is a more experienced, multi positional player that for this season is an asset to the squad, selling him would be unwise until we got someone else in that could do that job and Tav isn’t that player yet imo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That's true but has Saville ever actually been awful for us, hes been fairly average but there is a large distinction between that and trash. He was our top scoring midfielder last year too, so how bad are our other midfielders if Sav is 'trash'? 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Johnmfc81 902 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) I don't think saville is all that bad, played out of position for the best part of the season, looked fairly dangerous around the oppositions box. As others have eluded to I just think we overpayed for him. But as it stands he along with gestede are the players we should be looking to move on, rather than britt and fry. But you can only sell the players that teams want to buy. So if we do sell britt or fry I hope its for an offer too good to turn down. Link to post Share on other sites
BillinghamBoro 229 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Don't get the love in for Tav personally, most of the time I've seen him he looks bang average and fades in games. I appreciate he's young but he shouldn't be the first name on the team sheet like many fans seem to suggest. Saville hasn't settled as many have suggested, very lightweight midfielder and probably better suited elsewhere. About the Eze stuff, have we actually been properly linked with him or was it just FMTTM rumours? Link to post Share on other sites
FinallyRegistered 91 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 We still expecting 4 in? Or was Dijksteel one of those? Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Taking any kind of significant loss on Saville this summer feels like a huge mess. I think he's a good player who will score goals in our midfield. We've already invested the money, I think we should see it out for a bit longer. He's surely not going to drop much more in value. If we've offered him a daft bloody contract then God knows what we were thinking and maybe we have to get rid of him. But I'd be looking to keep otherwise for sure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 4 expected was confirmed before Dijksteel and so he is one of the 4. Link to post Share on other sites
Youngy228 1,444 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 With the current situation (no exits) the aim is to get 3 more in. CB, RW, ST Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Echo say we're targeting a 'couple' of new attacking options now Dijksteel's done so I'm assuming a wide midfielder and a striker? They say Wes Burns is not on the list of targets so I wonder who we are after for the wing. Link to post Share on other sites
