I’m sure the only source of this Turkish talk is from Pete o’rouke

I’d personally rather keep Victor who I feel will have a really good season under Evatt’s revised system. He’s looking strong and fit and up for the job.

Exactly.

10 League goals in 35 last season,  (Charles was 14 in 33, McAtee was 10 in 37)..

This season looking more on it, and reckon if he's happy being on the bench and knowing he will be on at 60mins, we will struggle to get anyone better in this league. 

Inevitably one of those 3 will get injured, and we won't have a credible back up..

Interestingly, Transfer market speculate him being the 4th most valuable player..

Collins is 1st at 1.3m

Schon at 900k

Morley at 900k

Victor at 850k. 

I think there's options to reinvest out there. 

Someone like Miles Leaburn at Charlton only has a year left on his contract, could immediately reinvest the money on someone like that with a much higher upside. 

Again, I like Vic, don't mind him staying and think he can get 10-15 goals for us this season but I'm not sure his value will ever be higher than this window.

Think you'll be hard pressed to find a clinical striker who wants to come and be second fiddle to 3 first choice men at this point.

I'll stick my neck out here and say we'd not get anywhere near 900k for Morley.

Especially as he's going to Wycombe on a season loan.

No way would we get 900 k for Morley.

Good move for the lad that, hopefully can go and get some confidence back, that looks like the obvious thing lacking for him at the moment. Clearly talented but seems to shy away at times, hopefully Wycombe's physical playing style can get him back on the right track. 

Shame it wasn't permanent and get him off the wage bill.

Good luck to the lad but we are punching at a different level now.

Same as Sarcs and Doyle. Thanks but we move on.

I don't know who makes up the alleged "transfer values" on Transfermarkt but they are stealing a living - can't remember them ever being right and in most cases they aren't even in the same ballpark as the actual fees paid.

A player is worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for him.

Tbf I'd have them down as someone like you

how would you know if they were right

transfer fees are way too simplistic a measure, these days

Which is why I think Vic will be off if he has any say in it, especially as the rumoured interest are all a step up (I'm guessing the Turks are top flight)

But Him plus the other 3 is exactly what we need for a promotion push

Couldn't care less about Dan, don't care he makes the bench or not

There is no other talented and handsome intellectual stud like me so you're probably barking up the wrong tree. Again

Just about. Spurious link but Goztepe have the same London-based owners as Southampton.

Goztepe got promoted this year to the Turkish top flight

Just read that elsewhere too.

Interesting move that and hope he does well. Actually hope he does great and comes back to us and starts again but I feel that's probably us going our separate ways in the end now.

Shame for Morley that his return the club didn't work out.

He has a decent deal until 2027 could very easily ride it out but I guess as a footballer you just want to play

If he does well at wycombe and theres every chance he will, his value will increase

He might even end up starting our first game of next season

Oliver Norwood lives near me.

Gone to Stockport 😳

Oi, we've got another thread for this 😀 

Class player whenever I've seen him which admittedly isn't recently, but I always recall his name from scoring a 25 yard screamer to win it for Huddersfield here about 10 years ago under Freedman.  I remember thinking we'd really come down in the world losing at home to them with the likes of McNaughton in our team.

That's a great signing for Stockport! Definitely a major upgrade on the Fat prick.

I hope Morley's loan deal works out for him & ultimately us. He hasn't kicked on as well as I'd hoped, his development seems to have stalled, hopefully regular minutes will do him good.

Can still Vic going unfortunately, which is a shame as he's looking fitter & better than last season, also had a good preseason. 

Probably an unpopular prediction but I can see Dan doing alright this season if he plays left of a front 3. He's not an outright forward but think he could be handy further out wide running at defenders rather than his back to goal.

Goztepe are one of those clueless teams that have cash to burn and will end up offering money for Vic that we cannot turn down. He’ll then be replaced with a highly rated target man from the prem on loan.

Mmmm, I was agreeing with you until the bit about Dan.

What makes you think that he can run with the ball at defenders? I can’t remember him ever doing this for us but you might have seen it sometime when I wasn’t watching.

Hope you’re correct btw. 😉
