CONFIRMED Che Adams

[sitwell]

Hahaha! Telling me to get a life cause you have a different opinion to me...nice one mate!

Sorry didnt mean it to come across like that , what I tried to say was you cant just look at stats you have to look at the bigger picture and the team not individual stats. the only stat that matters is the score. Kante was arguably the best player in the country last season ,or most effective anyway - 1 goal 2 assists I think he got from midfield.

I was taken by surprise when I saw your name to the reply, was one of the last people I expected to reply like that.
I agree with what you're saying but if Wilder was to be given the £2 million for a few players, that could be the difference in us going up. I don't doubt that in a few years Che will be a top player in the leagues above but that's in a few years.

It's our owners fault we got relegated.
If he's not willing to fund it, sell the club.

Simple as. We're on the verge of becoming a mid table league one club while Bournemouth sign £15mil players. Embarrassing.

........well, i'd say we ARE a mid table L1 side.

Fortunately we have the ability/stature/setup to get back in the premier League - admittedly given the right manager and management.

We have to start again - CW, might be the start of all that.

If you think it's embarrassing - no one makes you go or support United - it really is as simple as........

I think it was generally accepted that we got £10m for the two kyles. My understanding was it was heavily loaded in walkers favour. No way can I see it being £3m for walker and the remainder for naughton

No we got more for Naughton as he was more established at the time. Most reports indicated around £5mil for Naughton and about £3mil for Walker and that with add ons etc. the total deal could be worth up to £10mil.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

It's not them at the top making player decisions , it's Wilder . The bloke knows what he I'd doing thank fuck , as nobody else at the lane does.

Has this been publicly announced anywhere? Doesn’t sound right to me? All my life I’ve seen star players sold against the manager’s wishes. Can’t see why it would be different now?

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Flu is rife this time of year, especially Beattie flu

It’s been red hot these last couple of days. Much more likely to be Maguire sun stroke.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Now being reported that it was a seven figure bid that was rejected.

So 7 figure offers rejected for DCL and now Ché. Quite pleased and surprised by that.

Just wait til we go back to them cap in hand like we did with Maguire.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

For the millionth time - posted by me and others - it will go on wages and other costs needed to run a football club............simple economics really - a fact not really understood by numerous.

UTB

I think the miscommunication centres around the fact that we run at a loss subsidised by the owners. So when they say it won’t be reinvested, it kind of is and it isn’t depending on how you look at it.


If we were on course to make a loss of say £6million and this bill was footed by the owners but we then sell a player for £2milllion reducing the loss to £4million paid by the owners then has it been reinvested? You could say it has because even with that £2million, the owners are still footing a bill to cover the deficit etc. Or you could argue that the owners were going to pay the difference anyway and the sale has simply reduced what the owners would have to pay.


With the Maguire sale, there was clear reinvestment to fund our January spree but with the Murphy sale, it just got swallowed up in funding the losses we’re making due to all the shite we had under contract.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

James Shield has really helped us out there hasn't he - "£2m rated Adams".

Setting the bar nice and low in the eyes of the public. Why do anything to try and increase his perceived value...

That was my first thought. If we’re going to publicise a value we should be saying £4-5 million knowing that we would probably accept offers in the region of £3million.


Also, if we do have to let him go and it’s to Newcastle, I agree we should be looking for the pick of their young talent and maybe even Che himself on loan to compensate us.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

just cos adkins didnt spend didnt mean he had no money
wilson spent money , who gave him that

During Wilson's tenure we generated up to £5million in player sales. How much did he spend?

It will be interesting how much the owners do need to finance.

We took 30 players off the wage bill throughout the season and during the summer including loan returns. Since then we've added 5 players.

There must be a point if we run with a squad of 24/25 instead of 49 and of which around half are home grown prospects presumably on low(ish) wages, where break even is not unthinkable. Not on almost 20k gates anyway.

 

[The Crab]

Does this mean that James Wallace is also on his way out? Orrrrrrr has he picked up another knock getting off the plane from La Manga?

Did his Hamstring whilst pulling out the In Flight Magazine from the seat pocket.

It's not impossible but we probably won't achieve it with the likes of Freeman, Coutts, Woolford etc. still here. If we shift all of the transfer listed players then maybe.

What makes you say we have the stature and set up to get back ? The 'set up' is the same one that's seen us in this division for 6 years...deckchair, Titanic and all that.

Gross mismanagement got us here and the same man is at the helm, the one who said Europe in 5 years not division one for 5 years. I don't doubt hes spent millions but so did Michael Carroll when he won 10m on the lottery but that didn't make him a genius !

His heart's not in it anymore and that's understandable given what he's been through and where we are but he won't sell up as he's a property man and his value of the club is based on property values not what the club is worth as a going concern . This means we are stuck in this situation until he either lowers his price or someone is foolish enough to pay it .

You're saying McCabe shouldn't have to shell out then telling embarrassed fans to not go. Where would make our money in your world?
If every Blade who was embarrassed about our current situation didn't go we'd have 1k gates and fold within a year.

Stupid comment.

I love your enthusiasm mate but do you REALLY believe that Tufty will be given the transfer proceeds for his squad building kitty ??

That does not happen at BDTBL ......... the money would be used to reduce the amount that McCabe and the pauper Prince are putting into the Club and that is why we have been dropping down the League and remain in self-imposed exile in this division ....

Just seen this on sky sports news HQ



BIRMINGHAM'S ADAMS BID REJECTED

Sheffield United have turned down a £1m bid from Birmingham City for their young striker Che Adams.

Sky Sports News HQ understands the offer falls some way short of their valuation for the 20-year old.

Last week, Huddersfield Town bid around £700K. Wigan are also known to be interested.

United signed the player on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee from non-league Ilkeston back in November 2014.

 

[blade too long]

During Wilson's tenure we generated up to £5million in player sales. How much did he spend?

in 5 years be about the same its only 1 a year
hard to ascertain with so many undisclosed fees

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

CHUFF OFF YOU TWANGY SPEAKING SET OF RARSECLARTS!

...is what I would say. Derisory offer, our most promising youngster and to be fair - if he's to go anywhere, I'd want it to be somewhere more ambitious than mediocre, dull as dishwater, Birmingham. They are a nothing side and their squad is pretty dire. I'd rather he didn't go at all, but if he has too - hold the other club to ransom and make it an ambitious move for the lad.

Failing that, grow a pair McCabe, keep him and try for promotion. Rather than selling him, replacing him with Ashley Ward, demanding Wilder still gains promotion and then sacking CW when he doesn't. Hopefully rebutting Birmingham is a sign of improvements at boardroom level, although I doubt it.

according to this weve had bids of only 700k and birminghams initial offer of 1 m
nothing like the Stars 2m claim

Except that vile rag only said sources within the game claim he's worth 2million not that we'd had a bid.

If some cunt had bid 2 million this would be In general blades chat.

Eloquently put my friend, I agree

 

[blade too long]

Star rated him as 2 m , which is setting the club up for criticism if we sell for say 1,2 m
which is bad journalism , setting the bar too high

I never said the star had reported a bid

 

[sheffielder]

You have to imagine alfreton have a sell on clause so we could end up with enough money to get Clarke and nothing else

It concerns me that the bid yesterday is known to be a million and yet Adams was pulled from the game

The club deserves burning to the ground if they sell a promising 20 year old striker for £1.2m in today's market

really , on which planet does a 10 goal a season league one player attract 2 million
bradley dack scored double that and no ones offered the 2 m they are asking

Would you sell Adams for 1m?

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I think it's the attributes Ché has. Strength, pace, balance, dribbling ability, decent finisher- these are all very rare attributes in one so young. If he knuckles down and works on the weaker parts of his game, which are all very coachable, then he could go on to play Premier League football. Whilst Dack's stats may weigh in his favour, Ché is the bigger prospect in my opinion and the one more worth taking the small gamble on.
