Mike HuntStranded I'm surprised people are that shocked - if the fee of £6m quoted by Sky is correct then there is no club at our level that would turn that down.
We are at a level whereby we will need to sell a star name occasionally in order to strengthen overall. If we get a new striker and a defender on the back of this it will be an excellent bit of business.
So many people have been clamouring for us to play 4-4-2, the reason we haven't been is to allow us to play Glyfi in a position where he can have an impact - he very rarely had that out wide and isn't (in my mind) suited to a role in a 4 man midfield - he was always going to leave (if not now then in Jan or next summer) and we've got the best deal possible.
No player is bigger that the club and perversely by getting rid of our best player we could still end up with a stronger more balanced squad/team.
I think that most people on here agree that 6 mil for a somewhat unproven Championship player is good money, what I suspect that they are angry at is the fact that:
a) The Club will probably not release any funds to the Manager
b) If they do - he has 1 day to do his business
Means we will be left with the loan market.
I am super gutted, seeing him with the hoff Jersey on will feel like seeing your ex with another guy... lets hope Jake Taylor comes along in leaps and bounds - but he will also no doubt be sold.
He has more than 1 day to do his business. We could easily arrange loans now meaning we could make the player permanent at any time. As long as he is registered now.
You are right we will prob not see all 6million spent now - but I would anticipate approx a third of that being made available to BMc.
