Major Isewater Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 All talk is of new additions to the squad but will we lose some of our first teamers in the summer ? Joe Bryan must surely be on the radar of Everton at least ? Would Kodjia be on Pulis shopping list ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunnyfunt Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Wilbraham is more likely to be on Pulis radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_Badger Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Joey Bryan, based on what? He's done absolutely nothing this season. Korey Smith and Baker are the only ones to write home about for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezman Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 We don't own Baker anyhow. Anyone who believes he is going to sign permanently is deluded. I imagine some top end Champ clubs will be sounding out the agents for Flint, Korey Smith and Kodjia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I love Flint but if he scores a few more, I wouldn't be surprised if some bids come in. He's surely impressed some defensively as well as we've had some solid defensive displays and unless you're one of those teams we've given up 4 to, then he's probably looked comfortable. If a good bid came in, then I wouldn't be too upset to see him go, assuming we've got the cover lined up. Korey surely will have interest but he's our captain and hope we don't have to sell. Give him a pay rise immediately. Baker will have interest. He's not out player but you have to assume keeping him will be close to impossible if rumours about his wage are correct. I'd love to see him stay though. Kodjia is an interesting one. Will we get large bids for him? If not, then no reason to let him go. He's only going to be better in his second season with a full summer training session. We are looking to build and shouldn't be in selling mode unless we get well above fair offers.

Lrrr Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Kodjia and Smith are the only 2 I realistically see moving up in the summer, but as said before we shouldn't be in a position where we have to sell so Kodjia we can hold out for a good offer and Smith we should be trying to get to sign a new contract anyway, a club or two may be interested in Flint but given how important he is to us and how short we will be for CB's in the summer he be let go for anything other than a ridiculous offer.

ChippenhamRed Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Kodjia and Smith are the two I would least like to see go, and probably the two we're most likely to have to fight to keep. Smith in particular is such a complete player in his position, I could see him at a lower end Prem team. Holding onto both of them is as important as new signings in my opinion. I can't see how we can progress by selling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Dawe Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 If McCarthy and Dyche and a couple more bought our better players last time we were relegated, I reckon McCarthy and a few other midtable managers in this league would be interested in some of our players this season too, whether we stay up or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Skuse was OOC & Anderson was part of the swap deal for JET but did they pay for Gerken? This time around he won't get a cheap deals, so he'll probably look elsewhere.

Paying a big fee is another matter. Still, wouldn't be surprised to see some interest in the players doing so well now. They have all shown such excellent attitude as well as ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 87 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of our top performers sold in the summer. Smith or kodjia would likely demand high fees and big profit which we could reinvest. that's the model we started when we went down, sign younger players who's value will increase.

They have all shown such excellent attitude as well as ability Trouble is a lot of these supposed "bigger clubs", Wolves, Blackburn, Forest, Ipswich etc don't tend to be in a position to want / be able to pay a decent fee (or what I'd be looking for), for the likes of Kodjia, Smith & Flint!! They all seem to be looking abroad or to the lower leagues (in the hope of a Vardy) or even the OOC players that are out there. But of course, all it takes is for the players agent to get wind that their player is interesting one of the above clubs & knowing that the player can get a better wage at one of those clubs & then we have an unhappy player on our hands & then we have problems!!

That's hardly ' absolutely nothing'. Hit the post, which led to our equaliser on Sat. That's hardly ' absolutely nothing'. That's 4 pts (or 6) he's had a large part in. We could be 4 pts, not 8, ahead of the trapdoor. He has had a poor season in comparison to last year, but doesn't look out of place in the Championship on the whole. I'm with him on this one.

WsM-Red Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I could see a team like Burnley coming in for Korey Smith, I think he suits their style of play and team dynamics. I wouldn't be surprised if someone enquired about the likes of Flint, Kodjia, but we don't need to sell. Perhaps keeping our key players at the club (including Tomlin & Baker) should be a priority in early summer before we think about other signings, then if we know they are definitely leaving we can think about bringing in replacements.

Mad Cyril Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I hope someone puts a bid in for any one of our players soon. Can't wait for a response of either 'no thanks', 'never heard of you', 'you must be joking', 'i demand to be your top paid player', 'he is worth three times that' or 'i asked my dad and he just laughed'. Oh to be on the giving end not the receiving end for once would help fix a number of scars.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he will be gone from Bournemouth in all likelihood, but I would expect wages to be a bit of a snag for us. Don't misunderstand I would love to have him here , he has made a huge difference and is always talking to the players around him offering guidance.
