Reid is a good un, and I wondered if he'd be a potential target for us in the window. As you say, we can't have them all! Depending upon what happens at the end of the season, then he may come under our spotlight should someone come sniffing around Dion. A goal scorer.

Issue is, this is his first season above division 4 Hes 30 Hes hardly been prolific previously Wages prob low so easier to get but theyll hold out as long as they can Fact hes still there speaks volumes, for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Casino Posted March 24 Moderators Share Posted March 24 And im not saying age is a reason not to sign him Just feel the fee at 30 wont fit the buy to sell model Plus its just now hes started scoring Sometimes it just clicks at one club Who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a suspicion that Bod won't be with us next season, and with various injuries/low scoring rate I can see us looking at the market again.

Then they won. Huge step up in 12 months from League 1 to Premier League (and now England). He's made an odd mistake, but he's got 15 -20 yrs ahead of him and will get better. Claret fans need to look at the rest of the team. That said Baxter's been a great replacement for him - his dodgy injury record aside.

Assuming Bod doesn't get another contract, we'll still have 4 strikers that we've paid good money for (best part of £2mil) so not sure IE would be allowed another without selling (I'm assuming L1 for the purpose of discussion, Championship changes everything).

Eddie Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 9 hours ago, L/H White said: Bod will definitely be off If another bid comes for Vic so will he Jerome finished Leaves us with Charles & Collins I can't count Dan Dan’s a funny one. He’s not really shown anything so far that suggests he can be a genuinely contributing part of a strike force that is challenging for promotion from L1 (I’m not having it that his cameos in 2 games pre injury count - they’re getting the Joe Riley treatment), although Evatt has nailed his colours to the mast and we know how stubborn he is when he’s done that and so if we do stay down I think he’s genuinely seen as 1 of the 4. If that’s the case, and we do stay down, then unless a bid comes in for Charles or Vic then I’d say we’ve got our 4 for next season - Charles, Vic, Collins, Dan. I just can’t see a scenario where either Bod or Jerome are with us next year. If we go up though, what the hell happens to Dan? We’ve paid good money for him not too long ago, Evatt has backed him to the hilt with some slightly over the top quotes, but it’s questionable as to whether he could even cut it in the current league, never mind the Championship (personally I don’t think he’s good enough from what I’ve seen). You either let him go, but I’d be surprised if we even recouped what we paid, never mind made a profit on him which will have been the aim at the outset, or we continue to stick with him and take up a space in the squad with what will likely be a player that just isn’t at the level and everybody knows it. You never know, he could prove us all wrong and we do go up and it somehow clicks and he becomes this player that Evatt has told us he can be, but it’ll be a big risk to assume that he will. I’m not sure I’d be wanting to go into the Champ with Charles, Vic, Collins and Dan as our striking options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainmed Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Dan is absolutely fucking rubbish Out for months after missing a penalty. Says it all. Ged rid in the summer, especially if we go up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ged rid in the summer, especially if we go up. After the playoff defeat to Barnsley last season I said he wasn't good enough. But Evatt likes him. And he seems to have plenty of fans on his side. I thought maybe I'm missing something so when this season started I was willing to look at him again. I'm a patient fella but Nlundulu has shown nothing that even warrants a place in the bench.

Then they won. His replacement who played all last season, Muric, looks more commanding. Trafford was great for us in L1 and I'm sure will cut it in the championship. But I'm trying to see a Prem standard keeper in him and just don't think he's at that level, especially physically and being assertive with his defence. I bow to the superior knowledge of Kompany spending £18mil on him, just don't see it myself. If we're both in the championship next season I'd feel happier having Baxter for such a key position when you're likely to be up against it most weeks (different game in L1).

IE still counts Dan. Even without Bod and Jerome that's 4 left. Selling anyone changes things - but that could be Santos, Baxter, Tomo etc, nothing to say any striker will be sold, any more than anyone.

Another we paid decent money for, and now seems to be considered more a forward than a winger/midfielder so that's 5 that take the cost over £2mil if I'm not mistaken.

Doesn't command his box, when playing with Santos that wasn't a problem as he had the box covered, Burnley's defense being at sixes and sevens need their keeper to come claim everything and take control.
