Another reason why we will be seeing more academy players sold, rather than holding onto them too long and their value plummeting after a bad loan. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just now, CVByrne said: He's a very creative player basically, he carries ball a lot and has quality passing. So he's a work horse for the team. Even when he wasn't doing as much scoring for Watford (who were terrible last season) he still racks impressive progression stats.

jacketspuds Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 If we’re letting Philogene leave we absolutely have to be bringing in another winger / forward player. If Keinan Davis leaves we’ll need to do absolutely nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted August 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) £6m for Davis and Philogene isn't so bad imo. Neither have really performed that well in their Championship loan spells. Edited August 21, 2023 by PieFacE 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 6m for JPB is shite money. Better off keeping him. This has to be player led if we are selling him for 5 million. Monchi can't be that bad! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Supervillan78 Posted August 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2023 Davis for a £1m is fine. He’s 25 now and has seemingly reached his peak, he clearly has no future here. Given that he’s on around £45k a week (£2.3m? annually) surely it makes more sense to sell him now for a small profit rather than sending him out on loan again, subsidising his wages only to lose him on a free at the end of the season. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League Cup and ECL starts shouldn't be hard to come by. Not happy with this sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJCB Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The fees are v small particularly for JPB which suggests to me that the board are rushing a sale so that we can do some more business this transfer window with the FFP increased capacity. Even if JPB wants leave/have first team football ordinarily you’d surely loan him so that he can be in the shop window and fetch a higher fee next year. The only reason to sell now is if we want to buy now as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Philogene is insisting he wants to go and play, so the choice is to either loan him or sell him, loan would be risky as all it would take is a season plagued by injury which for him wouldn't be uncommon, meaning he wouldn't be able to get game time, and would therefore lose value, or selling him for six million with buy-back so we will get a decent chunk of money for him however well he does at Hull, and also still have the possibility of bringing him back. Not really sure why people think £6m is such a low fee, it isn't, he did very well second half of last season, but also he's been plagued by injuries and doesn't have much time left on his Villa deal, if you asked me at the start of the summer how much we could get for him with buy-back I would have guessed around two or three million, and would be doing well to get more than five million without buy-back. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
