Just because he doesn’t want to leave doesn’t mean we shouldn’t sell him and let him walk for free…if he wants to stay we could sign him to an extension…but allowing him to run down the contract seems like a bad decision too.

I mean were still in for Baradji...so why not a lad with a fractured back.

Do we have an Ash Phillips thread?

So we’re 💯 in on him the?

Nixon saying we’re back in for Bardji. Only now the contract is “pay as you play”. No idea what that means but no way he accepts it. If he does we should immediately convert Caters contract to the same.

Starting to wonder if Carter can be relied upon at all. Can’t seem to stay fit. Really like the honest stance on Brittian. Vi clearly knows if he’s sold the money disappears so is in no rush to push him out.

We pretty much know…that’s when the death spiral starts every year. Squad depth shows how thin it is

Watching on fox deportees. The Mexican announcer really liked Kargbo’s over head kick.

Get in!

The most positive way to look at this upcoming season for Vi is when the goal is to develop the youth and stay in the championship, Sheffield Wednesday’s not paying their players and Hulls not paying their transfer fees….so presumably staying up should be easier than most years.

Of course they were past mistakes but they’ve also been the same mistakes for years. Almost like it doesn’t matter who’s in charge of football operations.

Agreed. For fucks sake we finished 1 point off the play off position, and return everyone but Dolan and 2 journey men in Batth and Weiman. All of which in my mind are quite replaceable. There should be no need for a transition period. It should be full steam ahead. Instead we’re going to sell our right back and the entire center of the park. It was an easy summer, bring in a replacement for Batth, cover in center midfield and a winger or two. Bonus if you could get a #9. But now it’s all tits up

They’ve taken the academy approach to the front office.

When there’s no one else better, your old enough.

It would likely be the most entertaining thing on the tele. Provided it had commentary from outside analysts about what is really going on.

The. They get promoted. Fuck me!

Let’s be honest…probably free transfers either way

That’s a good joke! Best players tied down?!?! Hahaha.

Way back when I signed my first contract in Germany I was told by the football director, “congratulations you’ve broken in. My job is to now go sign someone better than you. Your job is to prove whoever I bring in isn’t.” Competition is what drives player to be better. I think the lack of competition in the team often leads to the complacency and underwhelming performance of the past 10 years

Losing Brittain would be a blow but I’d much rather see us get a few million quid for him then watch him leave for free in a years time.

Very well could be his last contract. Maybe he didn’t like playing for VI as much as JE? Maybe they offered him a better deal. Would have been nice to bring back but don’t think he should have been counted on for a similar performance to last year

Not bothered by Andi or Batth going. Both older players and though Batth had a very good season, it was in the heels of an injury ridden one. I’d bet he’s just as likely to be a disappointment at Derby as he is to play an important role for them. We have Carter and Wharton back as well. Andi is replaceable and doesn’t really fit a side determined to press high up the pitch. My bigger concern is can Hyam play without Batth by his side.

The most concerning part of the Forshaw signing is he very well could be here to take the place of Travis when he’s shipped off to Wrexham

Probably his best position. He doesn’t have the pace or crossing ability for a wing back in a back 3 formation.

They’ll probably appoint a manager, sign a player and Sack said manager before we pay a fee for a player!
