sdb Posted 21 August 2023 Share Posted 21 August 2023 Clubs know we will have to accept low ball offers soon enough. No rush until then. I'm sure Timmy will be gone in 2 weeks' time, along with Soumare and another couple, but the club are kidding themselves if they think they can demand big money.

The fact that we've now wrapped them in cotton wool and everyone knows we 'must sell'. Means it'll be a closing down sale market!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxin_Mad Posted 21 August 2023 Share Posted 21 August 2023 Some of these players are going to have to accept they either need to take a pay cut, or accept they are going to be sitting around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying we pay them more to do nothing, or only play them if they take a pay cut. No which option i go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can hold out if more than one club wants the player. You'd expect that Fulham will out bid an Italian club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 21 August 2023 Share Posted 21 August 2023 Running the clock down to deadline day works for us as well - I don’t buy all this we are in a completely weak position. if Castagne has a few clubs interested in him then let’s see who really wants him come 31st August. The same is true for other players. The reality is desirable players go for a premium come deadline day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 21 August 2023 Share Posted 21 August 2023 (edited) We're gonna be stuck with him, Soumare, Daka, Souttar, Ward & Vestergaard until their contracts run out aren't we? Edited 21 August 2023 by Jaspa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fear not. The Turkish Window closes on the 15th September. We will receive a raft of offers for loans where we pick up 95% of the wages. This is what happens when you overpay for average talent. We are not the only Club guilty of this practice for sure, but boy we seem to have serious form. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 21 August 2023 Share Posted 21 August 2023 The Turkish league has it's head screwed on in that regard doesn't it? Just wait until you're the only open market and buy up the desperate for nowt who'll still piss your league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he earns lots of money and there has been no acceptable offer. 4 hours ago, Sol thewall Bamba said: Has this dosser sorted something out yet? No. He has made no bid for himself or offered himself better wages than he currently gets. Maybe because he is a dissertation ( not sure what your source is). 3 hours ago, Foxin_Mad said: Some of these players are going to have to accept they either need to take a pay cut, or accept they are going to be sitting around. Yes And they might sit around earning lots of money. Clearly it would be great if we could get rid of him for a large sum. If he stays, our squad will be stronger for it. I don't see the point of hating him. We are supporting and funding a squad full of individuals who earn life changing sums. Last year's edition, including Castagne, managed to f it up and get us relegated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point isn’t that - it’s that he is less likely to sit on his arse and see out his contract (especially as he has two years left!) because he has his Belgian place to protect You’d think that will be worth losing half a million quid to him in the grand scheme of things ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 They’re in conversations with Fulham. Hopefully a few can be done quickly and we can bin him off. Average and overhyped defender. If he was Spanish, Portuguese, English, French etc, he’d be nowhere near International football. Belgium are just average at best in those positions.

If someone else comes in then they’d do as good a job and then his international career would be in big trouble. He can’t afford to lose his place imo.

I’m still amazed Justin isn’t getting game time. Castagne is a steady 6/10. We all know he’s getting caught under the ball at the back post. Maybe a more dominant goalkeeper or centreback covers that. Edited 22 August 2023 by Sly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 (edited) Would love to know the correlation between people who say... "Just get him gone" "Just sign them and pay what they want" And those that have a meltdown when the finances have gone to pot.
