Anyone bracing themselves ahead of Monday nights transfer deadline?

Neecha · Aug 30, 2013

Whilst we are looking at who is coming whose to say we wont lose some key players?

What are your thoughts? Buckley? Liam? Leo?

IMO if the monies good and we can strengthen the overall team similar to Nooney and Bennett deals then I'm all for it!

(there is nothing behind this post I have no info I am just asking what you think)

To lose Leo would be absolute unmitigated disaster for our season and beyond.

Of course I hope we keep Buckley, Bridcutt and Orlandi as well.

If we just keep what we've got, and pick up a striker in the loan window then it's been a pretty good summer transfer window for us as far as I can see.

What happened to this 'mind blowing' transfer which was meant to happen?

I concur.

I think it'll be a quiet end to the window for us.

Very little coming in or going out.

I wasn't aware there was meant to be one...

Twitter/NSC bollocks I'm sure.

I was bracing myself with a bit of trepidation and excitement, but after todays Argus article, I feel a little deflated to be honest.

Agree but would swap the striker for an attacking midfielder.

Neecha · Aug 30, 2013

I actually think we are playing hard ball right up until the last minute and the smoke screen created by the argus today is sentiment to this however I still think we may see someone leave which will of course change the whole outlook if its for £3mill +

How much would Leo fetch £4.5- £5 mill? Good business if he went but I totally hear what you are saying

I genuinely believe it is too early for Leo to be going anywhere. He has only had half a season with us, and whilst that was a good half a season, and he's started this one strongly, it is still relatively early days and the fact he's still a relatively new signing for us, with a fresh contract, means he'd be expensive for anyone looking to prise him from us. That means realistically it would only be Premier League clubs looking and after only half a season in this country, having never played at the top level, it would be a big gamble (even if I do think he could make the step up).

Bridcutt is another story. I think he could be destined for greater things, and he has been a consistent performer at this level for two years now so his ability isn't in question. We may have benefited from his being out so far this season however, as he may have dropped off the radar for some clubs whilst he isn't playing.

Buckley would only go for a fee of more than we paid and I don't think his form of late would necessarily justify that to other clubs. He's worth more to us in trying to get him to perform on a more consistent basis.

OG says he is entirely focused on Millwall game (official site) And at the moment nothing is happening....key thing for me is at the moment..

It wouldn't be good busniess in as much as it would seriously weaken our chances this season

WhingForPresident · Aug 30, 2013

No way we will lose Leo. We wouldn't even consider a bid of less than £5 million, and even then I don't think it'd be worth it. He is a special player.

Possibly. Tidy profit but would be a suicidal footballing decision. Spend 18 months scouting him and sell him 7 months later?

Also, we'd never be able to get a replacement in time.

Surely he'd be worth as much as that Gayle chap Palace have signed... so at least £6.5m

I think it would open the door to an ex Albion legend!

I think bracing oneself would be a bit extreme. No need for violence yet.

If you mean Zamora then he's arguably been the worst striker in the division so far this season. But yeah, I'd have him back.

If we sold Leo now, I'd seriously think about handing back my season ticket. Such a sale would be an absolute disaster.
