TheMightyVillans Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Still was an important and good signing. Without him we don't finish 7th that season. Unfortunately the injury seems to have made it difficult for him. With maatsen able to do what he does with higher potential it makes sense to get rid of him.and keep digne who is still strong for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine if we got ~£7m for him we'd sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be more beneficial to Loan now and sell next summer than pure sale now. If his wages + Amortisation are covered by the loan fee then it's better to loan him.

sharkyvilla Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I think Manure would be a decent fit for him, a couple of my mates unfortunately support them and rate him highly. Luckily they aren't really in the market for £10m players and I wouldn't want us to help them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure for a PSR/SCR perspective. We still need that £20-50m saving in 24/25 for PSR purposes. One of the quickest ways to get compliant is simply sell/loan out a couple of players and don't replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Seems like a sunny spain/weather player to me. So I think Forest will be last resort for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I can't see him wanting to go to another PL club that would have him, let alone a Forest. He'd want to be at a club in Europe or back in his home country. He might reluctantly accept a move like Forest at the end of the window when his other open is sitting permanently in our reserves, but he'll wait till the end of the window to see if anything better crops up before going that route. He looked much faster in pre season, and maybe like he was getting the confidence back in his legs so a shame to lose him, but we simply don't need him. Also, selling him doesn't give us an extra space in the CL squad. We'd need to also sell Carlos to get anyone extra in our Champs League squad.

OT, but makes you wonder how Purslow would be trying to deal with/explain the absolute cluster **** he created, if he was still around. Gerrard was a car crash, but It was Purslow who let him drive.
