jmjhb Posted July 8, 2025 Posted July 8, 2025 Dzemaili was a Swiss international and captain of his club when we signed him, hardly an unknown youngster Quote

SalCity Biggie Posted July 8, 2025 Posted July 8, 2025 Sam has injured his hamstring as too has Forrester, looks like they're out until August, we definitely need a new striker now Quote

meanderson93 Posted July 8, 2025 Posted July 8, 2025 Cosgrove is still without a club... Played in that PFA Friendly. That'd rattle a few feathers. Quote

Decent League 1 target man, has struggled with goals over the last few years but many of those appearances have been off the bench. Would get some stick from most of our lot but could do the job with the right team around him. Quote

We gave him away like so many others. Problem is not identifying real talent early enough when we have them or that with money being tight we’ve not invested in them maturing with the team. Quote

How do you feel about letting Marcos Alonso go for nothing? Quote

Whilst I agree, it was so unfortunate all round. Big Sam signed him then quit, then he did his cruciate, then had a successful loan upon comeback. Quote

Danny Ward at his peak in the Premier League maybe £10 million. Aaron Ramsdale -£30 million for Arsenal Ashley Fletcher - £6.5 million Maybe £3-5 million each for the rest of them Dont forget how crazy the values got up there after we got relegated. How much did we make? Quote

Danny Ward's peak was playing 15 games for a shit Cardiff team in the PL, he's not fetching £10m Be lucky to get 500k for Vela at his peak Quote

peelyfeet Posted July 9, 2025 Posted July 9, 2025 Can't see any pictures of Big Dave in Spain by the way. But Lawrence is on a few. Quote

Our opinion of both skewed by their performances against us. Humphreys has gone to Bradford (and always been inconsistent). I 'think' Cosgrove would be well below our level and probably a reason he is still looking for a club! MK Dons will make him an offer no doubt 🙂 Quote

There has to be £100 million in value there at their peaks If we can just get 1 decent one every 2-4 years that's enough on top of the 1, maybe 2 that would drop down to league 1 and 2 for a few 100k every year. Combine that with the signings we've made and while i agree it isn't amazing it might be enough to approach keeping our heads above water. Christ imagine spending £100m and ending up with that as your team. Quote
