So much for new owner investment. Already flogging the assets we have. Not a good sign if true.

Hopefully your contact is wrong.

That said you could argue sell Souza and pair Peck and Arblaster at the top level if we go up.

I also think if we went up we need to move to 4-3-3 which would newb they could all play. Wilder reenforced midfield before when promoted.

I wouldn't put too much of a downer on the new owners if they limited our sales to one young high value player, and then anyone else who doesn't have the stomach for another season.

When the Prince had some cash to invest, we still sold Brooks in order to help fund the 18/19 promotion push.

Just heard from a previously very reliable source that it's likely we lose Peck in the summer, even if we go up.

  • Prem: He's considered behind Vini and Blaster, so isn't guaranteed many minutes, so he would rather be at a club training with better players and not playing much, than sat training with us and not playing much.
  • Champ: he thinks he's ready to move up and continue his growth, even if we lost Vini and he was guaranteed minutes. Trajectory momentum is seen as key in young players, and he wants to continue that, jumping while his trajectory is high
Importantly, and the reason my contact told me....the owners think he is our best opportunity to cash in to improve the squad. Blaster was 'the one' from an asset value POV, but his injury has put the brakes on that. Sydie is seen as the one we can sell and get a net squad improvement

I don't blame him. He's been fantastic for us this season, and from nowhere really, and I wish him well. We will get great money for him and maybe one day we smile as he smashes it on the biggest stage, as we play on a slightly lesser stage

Had a nice brief chat with him and then a slightly longer one with his dad after the game on Friday.

The skys the limit really for Peck, he’s come from being further down the order to getting a chance and taking it with both hands since Blasters injury.

Right now, Blaster is behind Peck and there should be no rush to bring Blaster back in.

Peck has improved throughout a very long hard season, matured in his performances and just needs to add goals into his game.

His dad seemed very happy with him being at United and I’m not sure they’ll be forcing the move as they realise the time and effort United have put into his development

If he’s to stay then he needs a decent contract to reflect his status as one of the divisions top midfielders but if he is to be sold then it’ll be for the right money, again commensurate with his status. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to handle it to be honest. We’ll benefit either way

Personally I’d love to see him stay and take us forwards along with the likes of Blaster
 
Really hope this isn't true, Cappy or if it is, that it doesn't come to anything. I've often said that he was the one academy prospect that I wanted to see progress, and for us to manage his development here well (and to not obstruct his route to the first team as per Jebbo or Osula).

It was circumstance, owing to Blaster's injury, but he and we couldn't have handled it better since. He's hugely thrived and I would hugely disappointed if he were to leave. We should be building around him, IMO.

And on a really basic level, he just seems to get it here. He's full throttle, no holds barred. He gets stuck in and boy can the lad play a bit. Love him.
 
Every player has his value and as much as I want to keep Peck, if we receive a good fee at the right time which enables us to bring in a number of players who will improve our overall performance we have no alternative
.

Well actually we do have an alternative which is to wait until he runs his contract down and lose money hand over fist like Tuna man has done by not selling anyone.
 
Unfortunately a consequence of what happens if you don't get promotion. You can expect the better young lads to get picked off one by one. It's why I can't understand the mentality of the 'don't want to go up' brigade, you end up slowly turning into Norwich then eventually into Stoke with nothing to show for your troubles.

Transfer fee with add ons would get us around 30m you'd like to think. Good ages with pedigree abroad I reckon someone would take a punt on them.

There's only the top English league where you'd see them struggling again. Mcburnie plays in La Liga and Milan wanted Coulibaly other year.
 
Sydie Peck - £15m
Michael Cooper - £12m
Gustavo Hamer - £12m
Anel Ahmedhodzic - £10m
Vini Souza - £12m

Id be surprised if we're not receiving bids for all of them if we don't go up.
There'd be a serious prospect of losing all of them.
 
Brewsters goal in the derby which was set up by that beautiful spin and pass from Sydie, not only gave us bragging rights over the Tuna men but brought Sydie to the attention of the football world.
Not aware of any contracts / clauses but all things being equal I expect him to fetch £15 - £20m with a 20% sell on fee and a host of bolt on goodies.
It is the nature of modern day football, gone are the days when players hang around for ten years to be rewarded with a testimonial
 
Arsenal can go fuck themselves with their buy back clause. They have already fucked us over with the Ramsdale deal.

Agree that they could all go but I expect to receive at least 25% more than the figures quoted, with bolt ons in addition.

I’d be very surprised if they have a buy back clause. He was out of contract and decided to not sign a new one and to leave the club, he then went on trial at some clubs before ending up with us. Whoever picked him up would have had to pay Arsenal for his youth registration which they will have still held, and we supposedly paid £150k for that. Can’t see how Arsenal would have been in a negotiating position as he was technically a free agent with just the fee for his youth registration needed.

This is the only bit of your post I disagree with. They are different types of player. If Blaster hadn’t been injured Peck would have been competing with Souza for a place, not with Blaster. Our ideal midfield two is Blaster with either Souza or Peck. Without Blaster our creative and attacking edge is dulled & Peck hasn’t been able to compensate for that because that isn’t his game. Nor has Souza for the same reason.

I agree that there’s no rush to bring Blaster back in but when he does return then based on recent form & trajectory he would be replacing Souza, not Peck.

Yeah that’s fair, it was more in relation to him being behind Blaster and Souza. I actually think Peck and Blaster would be a very complimentary partnership if we got them playing together

We paid £2m. He's not played above Championship level and has had serious injuries.

I'm not sure why we'd get much more for him? I would be disappointed if we got less than £18m, but wouldn't be surprised if offers were much lower.

Completely agree with this. I have said exactly the same but had no reply yet
 
If the likes of Brighton and Brentford have created a model that others look to follow we can't complain about following it .
Identifying and nurturing talent for huge profits which can be reinvested is what so many clubs would love to do.
Pecks a good player ,hardly on the radar prior to Wrexham and blasters injury , I'd be sad to see him leave but I suppose we have to trust the process.

I might be being a little optimistic but I would expect more for all those players except perhaps Anel?
 
Everyone outside the very biggest boys is a selling club. Newcastle had to sell their best academy prospect in years last summer, just to stay within the rules.

If there is real interest, and his performances certainly warrant that, then he's very likely gone. Nobody's fault, not a sign of the new owners lacking ambition. This is how football currently works 🤷

Doubt that, if he'd got a goal scoring record, then it might be different, basically he doesn't score. Another season to improve on that, then who knows.
 
He's done exceptionally well coming from nowhere this year, but I feel he still lacks assists and goals. I think another year at this level would be better for his development, but he of course needs a contract to reflect his significant impact this year.
