Nigel Howe expects two first teamers to go

[One8Seven1]

Quoted in the Chronicle saying there will be players who want to play at a higher level and we have to accept that, and he expects one or two to leave in the next few weeks. So, who do we think they'll be?

Pogrebnyak is a cert. I fancy Carrico to be the other one.

[BonBoh]

Karacan to Galatasaray, perhaps? Has been mentioned in a separate thread.
Hal Robson-Kanu has said he wants to play at a higher level, so he could be one.
It could also be Adam Federici.

Are we any wiser?
No..

[Royalrobbo]

I think you've hit the nail on the head with those two, although what about Alex McCarthy? Is there still any interest in him? I know Liverpool were supposed to be in for him but they've got Mignolet now..

Link? I can't see this anywhere...

Its shit how players jump ship when teams are relegated,especially new players like Pog and Carrico.Granted Carrico didnt get much of a look in but Pog played lots of games.He played his part in our relegation so he should stay for one more season to help us.

Playing at a higher level? Shouldn't it be playing at a lower level?

What? you dont think players should be a bit loyal? rather than oxf*rd off when things are bad?

[Royal Ginger]

I've had a look through chronicle online and can't see any evidence of this. Pretty sure it's a no-story.

They can do what they want.

Pog was one of our best players last season, he could get another move easily and rightly so.

You didn't look very hard.

Correction: Howe, not Hammond.

And Howe confirmed that some members of the first-team squad could be seeking moves in the weeks ahead.

"Anton doesn't want to discard our best players unless there's a deal which offers excellent value or a player wants to leave," he added.

"There are one or two players who probably see themselves playing at higher level, and why shouldn't they?

"You've got to recognise that from time to time it's in everyone's interests to let a certain player go.

"We've done it over the years and fans are not always happy about it when we do. But the fact is you can't keep players who do not want to be here."

I found that. You're making a story out of that!? Some players may want to play at a higher level is hardly "expecting" "two" first teamers to go. I maintain that this is still a non-story.

He isn't going to come out and say publically that there IS one or two who want to go, is he? You always try to promote a settled happy camp.. Howe alludes to one or two who may want to leave. Why even say that if that wasn't the case? You can call it a non-story if you like, but he's basically preparing the fans for when one or two do go and we understand why.

[SPARTA]

How can this be a non story when we already know Robson-Kanu and Pogrebnyak want to play at a higher level, and we have heard Carrico say he is in discussions with the club about his future? If anything one or two is playing it down!

I wouldn't be surprised to see McCarthy, Carrico, HRK and Pog go.

I get your points, but the way this reads is a general "players might leave to go to another club" which has always been the case rather than a pointed "we're about to see two specific players leave". Of course players might go if and when a prem club comes in for them, and i'm sure they will, but i just don't see that Howe is alluding to anything specific here. Ths is the same article that you suggested was "unreliable Bullsh*t".

I think it is probably Pogrebnyak, HRK or McCarthy. Tbh I would be gutted if we lost HRK and/or McCarthy, but I'm not actually bothered about Pog and would be more than happy to see him go and see us bring someone else in.

Don't know why anyone is saying Carrico either, what's he done since he joined us that would show he deserves a place at a club in a higher league? Nothing is answer, as he has been injured virtually the whole time. Why would anyone want him if he is just an injury waiting to happen? Don't get me wrong, from what I've seen of him I think he is a good player, just don't see why anyone would see him as a risk worth taking at this stage.

We also 'know' that Hal is in discussions over a new contract.

As has already been pointed out, this is a complete non-story, and it's pretty clear that atm there's nothing really in the pipeline with regards to losing 'two first teamers'.

3rd August can't some soon enough...

If it's Federici and Carrico we're laughing.

It could be any of Federici, McCarthy, Carrico, Robson-Kanu, Le Fondre, Pogrebnyak, Kebe, McCleary, Karacan, Guthrie, Gunter or Kelly.

As long as it's not Federici and McCarthy, or Pogrebnyak and Le Fondre, we should probably be able to cope.
