Whilst I agree he's not a patch on what he was before his injury, I'd not sell for anything less than £5m. Who could we get for less than that who would be an improvement?

 

the palace team cost 250k, i think

It's not Glen Campbell it's Glen Murray. Glaswegians fist fight for top scorer!

Strange article. Firstly the notion that we'd sell the league's top scorer for £1million, secondly the notion that Murray would be particularly happy to link up with Dougie. He benched him for most of last season in favour of Martin (who we had on loan from Norwich).

 

Was odd at the time, even stranger in hindsight.

Quite. Big money buys don't win you this league. We've tried it enough in the past, and they flop as often as they succeed. Shrewd purchases of talented hungry players are what you need, and Dougie has an eye for them. And if he doesn't, our chief scout who you also stole does.

 

I think you'll have a few "eh, who?" signings that will end up doing the business.

he can play (very well) in all 3 attacking midfield positions

 

so, not irreplaceable, but a big player for us

 

but that'd be true even if lee didn't leave

 

would i trade lee or eagles for a couple of million + 20 goal striker - without a doubt

 

be happier to swap sordell, afobe and petrov for one...course i would

'twas tounge in cheek. We don't really mind, as Holloway is also well known for having an eye for a decent player. Though our chairman was joking that Dougie would be back for the tea lady next :)

I daresay there'll be a queue to tell me I'm wrong, but Eagles is a long way off being irreplaceable.

 

No one is irreplaceable but at this moment in time Eagles is in our best eleven (ditto Warnock).

Neither are world beaters but we need them to progress in this league.

Beggars belief some folk wanting to sell LCY for 2-3 million, clueless beyond my comprehension.

Is it bollocks

 

He's not even our first choice right winger

 

He's a saleable asset

 

And he's been playing poorly post a pretty bad injury

 

We could use the money elsewhere where it's needed

 

I'd guess he's on decent wages too

 

Clueless? Nope, pragmatic
