If Webster moves on then it’ll be a shame but not the end of the world as we know it. I don't think you've made that point nearly enough. Next time there's a rumour you should definitely reiterate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As above mentioned, Maguire deal starts the ball rolling IMO- I wonder IF we need to re invest in that position- or if LJ sees 3 at the back being ok choosing from Kalas Moore Wright Baker Vyner. I wouldn’t be adverse to Moore and Baker either side of Kalas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southport Red Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 This time last year... “Flint and Bryan gone” “Kelly not ready to fill Bryan’s boots” “Flint Replaced by ‘sicknote’ Webster” and yet our League position improved. I wish Webster was staying, but if not, good luck to the lad, he is a very good footballer who deserves his shot. I trust management to replace him with better like we did last year. One day we will be the best option for these types of players to play in the EPL. Not long now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon bristol Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If the big webster deal goes through, i wonder if the club would regret selling kelly? some of the more “experienced” people on here will recall rovers in the 90s having a succesion of strikers who were bought and then sold on at big profit, which was great until the talent ran out. The pressure to keep replacing our best players when they are sold is huge. Especially when that talent needs to be young enough to hopefully achieve some profit in the transfer market. The incoming transfer proceeds from the last 2 summers is huge, but we will start running out of crown jewels to sell?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To possibly sell 2 centre backs for over possibly 40 million pound is extraordinary. With an outlay of 3.5 million and a sell on fee . We just can’t turn that amount of money down. Be tough to replace but we’ve done it before. Interesting end to the transfer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make two seasons running we’ve sold half our defence. Got away with it last year, partly because, in truth, Bryan and Flint were half of a back 4 that shipped goals. But we won’t keep doing it. And, longer term, the Crown Jewels has to be the Prem TV cash, and we’re going to have to keep our star players to get there.

Admin Ian M Posted July 30, 2019 Admin Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If I was in charge of recruitment, I’d add the Webster money to our remaining budget, try & pull Chelsea's pants down again whilst signing Michael Hector, try to convince Everton that £1.5m is enough for Joe Williams & hope the rest is enough to convince Swansea to part with Oli McBurnie.

Alessandro Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Sounds like his valuation is close to being, if not has been, met. It's a lot of cash, realistically too much to turn down and I know a lot of people have already gone into football manager mode to spend the incoming cash but.... I for one would be gutted to lose him, regardless of the cash. He was the ONE player I wanted us to hold onto this summer. The extra 'quality' that this squad is now begging for. And at this stage, to replace him, we'll be potentially scrabbling around, being quoted inflated prices. Having said that, I think there are more potential CB's out there than forwards, so I hope the club's done its preparation for this and a loan replacement from the prem is lined up and rest of the cash is spent on the forwards we need, to soften the blow.

Davefevs Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 2 hours ago, RedDave said: Maguire to Man United £75m Dunk to Leicester £35m Webster to Brighton £25m ????? to Bristol City If Maguire doesn’t move then the whole chain won’t happen in my opinion If we used the the £25m plus another £10m we have accrued from sales to buy top quality CB, DM and ST then it will have been a superb window. We really need to move others on though. Baker, Watkins and Taylor minimum. We are obviously worried about losing Webster because of the domino effect above us, but Webster going possibly triggers one beneath us too, Van der Horn, Liam Moore, etc. Or puts us in for place to go for players that other clubs wanted, e.g. (guesswork) Wednesday and Hector. 2 hours ago, JonDolman said: From what I have seen of Hector he is the most like Webster. Same height, dominant, dribbles out of defence. Decent pace. Shame he is not a bit younger than 27. Wonder what kind of fee would get him. Perfect age for a CB. £4-6m is my guess. 1 hour ago, Kid in the Riot said: Just resting this here. Hope you take sentiments of my emoji in the spirit intended. If we are genuinely talking £25m plus, £4.3m to Ipswich, £3.5m original fee, that £17.2m pure profit, in one season. If we go and get a Hector-type and it funds a better rated no9 / striker / forward, then I am well onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
