Number 6 Posted 18 July 2023 Share Posted 18 July 2023 He seems to hit a sweet spot of decent fee and limited impact on current side which make him top of my sell list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 18 July 2023 Share Posted 18 July 2023 If this has real substance, it will improve our bargaining position with the Geordie Arabs, as it ‘should’ mean there is less cash pressure to give them Barnes at a discount. Come on Rudders prove me wrong and get this done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. It's not that he's a bad player but just one of those steady guys. He'd look decent in a top 4 chasing team as he did with us, just as he'd still only look decent in mid table championship team. Doesn't really elevate his performances above the competition. Good signing for somebody for £15m because of his versatility and his ability to slot into a good team. Edited 18 July 2023 by dmayne7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVFox Posted 19 July 2023 Share Posted 19 July 2023 Can't help but feel this is splitting hairs (if true). Just get him out the door for 12 and get some creativity in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafewayFox Posted 19 July 2023 Share Posted 19 July 2023 Timmy is decent but happy to see him move on. Rudders and co, please learn from very recent mistakes (Soumare last summer) and don’t quibble over a £ here or there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring the source, £15m is fair for him. Didn't we pay about that to sign him? And he's still a decent PL wing back. He's just not a RB, IMHO.

He's performed about par on expectation and price so £12m would be an okay return IMO especially as our MO appears to be letting players run their contracts out on recent evidence.

Making a loss on a player is likely after relegation and without a long list of suitors the team willing to bid can low ball. Unless we can magically drum up more demand then we don't have a lot of choice. It's then down to the club, do they think keeping the player will help us get promoted and risk losing him for less next season. He is one of those that didn't look too bothered when we needed a bit of fight, maximise what you can and reinvest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key also being getting his wages off too. Of course selling for less sucks but unless we can afford to keep and he wants to be here then we can't be picky with a player like him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 The state of Fulham at the moment with their star striker Mitrovic refusing to play after being tapped up by the Saudis and now the manager being tapped up by them too - with all this uncertainty (particularly with the manager) I’d be surprised if Castagne went to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Vardy Posted 20 July 2023 Share Posted 20 July 2023 Lot of talk about us not getting prices for our players, sadly our players are either out of contract, have a year left, or will be playing in the Championship, after Premier league wages…..may I suggest we are not in the strongest negotiating position……and every other club knows that…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another way to look at it with Castagne though isn't there. A player's value is decided by a lot of factors and one of those is a club's willingness to release him. Maybe we consider 15m to really, truly be the minimum we'd let Castagne go because the line about Maresca being keen is true. Maybe we have it in the budget to keep Castagne on the books and Maresca likes his versatility or really sees him as an option out wide. He was bobbins for us as a conventional fullback, there's no denying that, but as a wingback or an RM it's probably harsh to suggest he isn't a very solid top flight footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
