29 years old? 🤔 £20million? 🤔

And you pay per syllable

We nosedived under JDT because Gregg gave him a pack of soggy crackers and asked him to create a fire. We’ve stockpiled happy-to-be-here players and brought in a coach that wanted premier league football. They had to purposely sabotage 3 transfers to stop him doing that.

There’s a few on tonight, be careful!

But he didn’t play for PAOK?

Well he’s small, and a nob head, so £2million

You’re getting worse! Sigurdsson played champions league! Let’s see if that’s factored into his fee we get for him 🤣🤣🤣

But Akpom had black hair! And played in red! Adds value remember

You seem very upset and condescending, is everything ok at home? These are pixels on a screen my friend, not life and death!

If your house takes a while to sell you don’t sell it for half its perceived value to you. You wait and sell it when you find a buyer. You CERTAINLY don’t sell it when you’ve no other property lined up to live in. To repeat, we have sold 27 league goals, and have signed nobody since. We will not use the money. And some expect us to be happy with it.

so we’ve sold Sammie for a 25% discount? Thanks for proving our point 😉

It’s all opinions, I’m not saying you’re wrong. But £9million will be worth fuck all to us if we get relegated. In a business as shockingly run as ours, all decisions should be football based and the best decision for that, was to keep him. Selling the top scorer in the division for £9million just isn’t enough money to be worth it for us in my opinion. No age, experience, nationality hair colour or eye colour factors will change that for me. The facts are he scored 27 league goals last season and has been sold for under what we COULD (should) have pushed for.

No I don’t, the best time was when we had a squad capable of beating the drop without him. It ultimately doesn’t matter what we sell players for does it, we see none of it reinvested. I’d happily have kept Szmodics til the end of his deal, that would’ve been the best deal for the club football wise.

8 years ago a 31 year old Ross McCormack went to villa for £15million.

@Emerald Isle Rover out of interest, no wrong answer here, what price would you put on relegation? What will that cost the club over one season, or the following two, three, four seasons it might take after that to get back promoted? That’s effectively what we have sold. As it stands right now, my money is on that we will get relegated. Szmodics for another year, barring injury, would’ve stopped that.

As for ‘prime’, he is in his prime footballing ability right now, end of discussion. 27 fucking league goals for fuck sake!!!!

The ‘market value’ is bollocks. People go under and over market value all the time. They’ve bought him for next season, not this season, and he’s guaranteed goals in this division. 9 million is actually a complete robbery, had they been another championship club you’d have been livid at that figure.

I can tell you 27 reasons why he’s worth 17/18 million

That is the pool of players you shop in if you refuse to spend money though. Anyone with a proven track record, or proven quality, costs!

Wondering if the Rovers trust can raise this message too from me, sell the club you fucking nob heads.

All valid points, but if Venky’s said right, 30million to spend next window, who are you hiring, JDT or Eustace? And to be fair I’m not writing him off, he’s just a worse coach than JDT in my opinion.

Let’s see if Sweden or Feyenoord come calling when Eustace leaves us 😉

He is however, undoubtedly, a worse manager than Tomasson. Surely you can’t disagree with that.
