Do we have saleable assets to sell to finance Jan?

Are you one of our new scouts?

 

We can’t even fill a bench and you’re suggesting selling 2 first team players.

No. We need to add to the squad to provide some healthy competition and add quality to our squad

 

I like Cooke, however, he doesn't score near enough goals for me for a so called attacking midfielder, so if we could attract a decent fee for him, then yes, sell.

Definitely sell Watt for me.

It would only make sense though to sell both, if we could replace with better quality, and that is the key if you are moving on/selling players.

We sold Crankshaw after our window had closed, so I get that we haven't been able to replace him yet.

 

2 players with minimal issues with injuries... I end my case m'lord.

 

No.

 

Selling Cooke and Watt and replacing them with who? I'm all for selling players, but only if their replacements are an improvement on those that were sold. I don't think the kitty stretches to selling those two and spending money on top to replace them with better. Even if we could find them.

How much would we get for the lift in the main stand? That was always quoted as an asset under Lawn and I don't see many high value assets on the playing staff, to be honest.

 

Struggling with this
We don't have any assets
Let alone enough to cover the 5 quality players that's needed
Our only chance is if Mr Rupp shakes the money tree

 

A good FA Cup run to the 3rd round would help the kitty and perhaps entice players to join..

Oh.

 

Cooke is the best chance creator in the division.

We won't get better.

If we sacrifice our creative players to sign a lethal striker, that lethal striker won't get the chances he needs.

 

Good point. Just about the only two who haven't been injured apart from paudie and the comedy keeper.

 

We are an underperforming side with underperforming players. No one will be getting ‘sold’, you must be joking! For a sale you need a buyer! Who’s going to buy any of them?

 

They found buyers for BRE, DMH and Guthrie at the start of the year. Always somebody who has an ego that thinks they can make a player succeed or can tame an ego like Mario Balotelli.

 

It’s also about getting the wage stealers off our books I mean for whatever Evans is on you could easily bring in a better player in his wages ............. and how many is there like him ????
Robinson and Lavery you get rid of them and both there wages could bring us in a decent striker in on loan

sadly whose gonna take them though ???

 

Having given this some thought myself over the last few weeks, given what we've witnessed on the pitch, I agree completely with @Brackenrigg on this one. For all of the so called key pass stats that Cooke has allegedly achieved, and are deemed to be so impressive this season, just what has it added to our team? We sit mid table with an incredibly poor win ratio, and unable to score more than 1 goal in any game

There might be the argument that with better strikers we may be higher up the table, with better conversion, but looking at where we are from having him in the team right now, and for the goals that he contributes as an attacking midfielder, I can't help but think the money we spend on him could be better used elsewhere, or on a midfielder who actually scores. He's one of the usual suspects who always seemed to he involved in passing responsibility onto to others to finish a move, which frustrates the hell out of me. On the occasions when he does shoot, the majority end up skyed in row Z!

Watt just hasn't kicked on. On his day he's decent at this level, but these performances are few and far between, on a bad day, hes very bad, failing to complete 2/3 yard passes.He doesn't have the influence we all expected and indeed require in a team with aspirations of promotion. Hes young and may well be suited to football at a higher level when on firm, sadly the standard in L2 is dire and we require more blood and thunder than either can provide.

If we get offers in for either/both, and we can replace them, I'd bite their hands off

 

They got given away not sold

 

City's policy is usually to pay other clubs to take them off our hands.....

 

How do we finance January.....?

Maybe we could use some of the money generated through increased Season Ticket prices, or the apparent improvement in commercial revenues? Or maybe our Owner could invest some of his £300m fortune (or at least use it as security for manageable debt) to grow the club he acquired and has taken backwards, and backwards, and backwards.

 

Correction, we gave BRE, DMH & Guthrie away last season and very probably had to fund payment of any loss they were making on income.
