Goodbye David

 

[Piffle and Tosh]

Everton just for a change ?

 

[SwissBlade]

Sheffield United have been approached by a Premier League club willing to pay an eight figure sum for Wales international David Brooks, The Star understands.

Although the team in question were informed the 20-year-old is not for sale, the size of their offer underlines his growing status after making an impressive start to the Championship season.

Biggest non story of the day

More shit click bait

 

[blade too long]

Come back when we've accepted a bid ,not before

Fake News by a fake paper

 

[Woodwardfan]

If there are clubs competing for him, exploit the situation and sell high.

If it's just one club say ' no thanks'.

I'm afraid the ' here and now' takes priority for a club in our position. Brooks will find his level in about 12/18 months time and nobody knows what that is. At present he does not justify a starting place in our team. 18 months ago he was one of many hopefuls in our junior ranks, nothing special, bit timid in fact. Nobody knows his true level.

If it's £15m, that's the "'here and now'. Brooks would also multiply his wages and for him that's the 'here and now'!

Rubbish

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Here comes another many page thread on the back of ‘a football club wants to buy a good football player’ speculation.

 

[Nade]

Anything around £15 million and I'd sell, in honesty.

That £7m we got in the summer went a long way didn’t it

 

[South Bucks]

Stir with an unsubstantiated rumour which can only unsettle him...and they wonder why we don't like them

 

[Barney]

Here we go again, btw.

 

[Superblades]

If there was then I reckon Wilder would say in his interview today that we have received an offer.

 

[Esablade]

Don’t worry lads, we’re a bit short this Sunday what with Christmas Eve an all, so I thought Id put a cheeky offer in...surprised McCabe’s weighing it up tbh!

Do you actually think they give a shit about unsettling a player when they have a "story" they can print and do you actually think they care that we don't like them ?

 

[TarquinDelouche]

£100,000.00 is an eight figure number...

 

[raul]

And the Kevbots were soooo looking forward to a quiet Christmas.

 

[DifferentClass]

Well whoever it is they can fuck right orf.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

15m or above and I'd let him go.

We could significantly improve our squad with that cash.

 

[Bladesman]

I’m not turning my ad blocker off.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Anyone thinking that the money for Brooks would be given to Wilder to reinvest in the first team are extremely deluded. He would get a small fraction of it.

Therefore what is the point?

 

[bladesmanluke]

15m or above and I'd let him go.

We could significantly improve our squad with that cash.

Why do that when we can just pay for the clubs running costs for the next 2 years?

We could. But as bladesmanluke points out ...

That £7m we got in the summer went a long way didn’t it

... so we probably wouldn't.

 

[mosbolad]

Its got to be Barnsley. They've just got taken over so have the money and James Shield said it was a "club willing to pay an eight finger sum".....

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

We could. But as bladesmanluke points out ...



... so we probably wouldn't.

The 7m bladesmanluke refers to is staggered over the next 34 years to get around FFP.

Oooh, money. Let's take it. We could so obviously sign a much higher calibre of player than we could already. I have no idea who but we could anyway.
