Wickham recalled by Sunderland

[KZNSeagull]

Seriously, the time for selling 5 first team squad players is between seasons, preferably before pre-season. Not in January.

I agree. But our hand may well be being forced - we do not want to keep players that do not want to be here. At least one head has been turned, maybe more. Reminds me of the rumours circulating when a certain person left in the summer...

That must be it. As I am not a happy clapper or Albion cheerleader, I must support Palace.

So clever of you to work out my sinister secret.

Palace bid £5M for Ulloa, so not sure why you think he is worth so much less?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Tell Gus that.

What bids has Gus put in?

 

[B.W.]

What bids has Gus put in?

One for Liam and Will. None for Leo YET. The bid for Liam was far too low. Taking the p1ss. Reasonable one for Will. And your point is?

 

[lawros left foot]

What! - we are getting half of the Barca youth team and some from Tel Aviv - well that will make for an interesting week.

This is the key issue.

And Tony supposedly doesn't like changing the squad in January.

Are Leicester, or Derby, or Forest, or QPR selling 5 of their First 18 this month ?

Are we selling five players? All I've seen is a load of interweb speculation, rumours from dubious sources, and outright trolling from other teams supporters. Until the five players mentioned are actually pulling on red and white striped shirts, i will not believe any of this bollox

Don't start, I was responding to a post where Blue Valkyrie said that player dealings should happen between seasons, preferably before pre-season. Not in January.

probably because palace gave us 850k for dobbie and if that was not an overinflated price for him nothing was
palace have a bit of a history for overpaying

Well they do need spend more to tempt someone to Croydon other than a season in the Premiership alone.

Did they really offer that much?

If so we should have taken it.

The panic setting in that we're selling FIVE players. Lots seem convinced that Ulloa is going when there hasn't been a bid for him.

I disagree. He is our best striker by a mile. Luckily, I'm sure TB and co value him a lot more highly than you do, which is the main thing.

he is only worth what someone is willing to pay







or we keep him

I agree. I think we'll lose Liam, provided Gus ups his bid to our valuation in the next few days. Maybe Will too, but I think we would have to have a replacement in place for that to happen, and can't see Leo leaving this window.

We won't sell unless a bid comes in that meets OUR valuation. IF nobody bids that amount, then he's staying put. Simple as that.

That's what this whole thread is about, if you read all the posts. Wickham has been recalled so the panic bosuns seem convinced that he's coming here in exchange for 3 of our players!

Rumours get right around the world before truth has got it's boots on.

thats assuming you know the clubs valuation

We know we turned down £5M not so long ago, so I think that gives us an idea of our valuation. IF anything, Ulloa is worth more to us now that Ash has been flogged.

5m.....that was palace thats if they actually were going to pay that and if they were it would have been £10 a month

3.5m at the most

We're told Sunderland have agreed a £3m fee with Internacional for striker Ignacio Scocco. #safc
