Bobby Thomas to Sheff Utd ? (26 Viewers)

[walkingalongsingingasong]

If true about Bobby going we more than ever need a new striker to come in. Where’s our goals coming from.

More worrying if both Thomas and Rudoni are leaving as the media is suggesting.

I think his first touch is largely excellent. His distribution can be a little chaotic, but he makes an attempt at progressing the ball and makes a lot of passes - not going to get them all right!

His first touch is horrendous.

 

[Jamesimus]

His first touch is horrendous.

Nah.

 

[Speedie's Head]

Agreed

Wow

 

[Marty]

Snap their hands off at 8 mill. Has mistakes in him, but good at this level. Doyle at the same price represents far better value for money.

 

[shepardo01]

Watch them get Hughes as well.
They are desperate for defenders and Selles had a bit of a pop at the ownership group about recruitment too.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

We're supposed to be bringing a CB in not letting another go. Lati, get your boots on lad, you're on.

Do we boo or clap?

 

[shepardo01]

Also, horrendous timing with the game tomorrow - Bidwell at CH will expose us at the back.

Bid must have come in at HT on Tuesday!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He's a clap, but not quite standing ovation when he takes a corner.

 

[hinckley cov]

I would take the money and reinvest in other areas of the pitch.

What stops this back 4 winning the league:
KKH - Bidwell - Brau - JDS

Height they would get slaughtered

 

[hill83]

Cheers. It’s a delicate balance.

Imagine when Thomas scores from a Hamer corner at the CBS this season. The whole stadium will be celebrating!

 

[stevefloyd]

At least he will be cup tied in the Carabou cup jobby....wait a minute they got knocked out

£8m? Fucking take it… but because it’s SU ask them for £10m

 

[Mcbean]

10 m minimum at this stage - look how many goals he scored !!

 

[Kingokings204]

10 m minimum at this stage - look how many goals he scored !!

completely agree and at this late stage. Some on here would give him away when he got us points on his own last season with his late goals and to a rival. 10m or don’t bother

Maybe just pull out the llama gif?

 

[oneofourown]

The last couple of season clubs are starting to target players in teams they see as a threat, which we are to Sheff Utd and Saints, therefore, it's only natural they would do this. It's totally up to King and to a point FL if they value him.

 

[AOM]

I don't share the sentiment that this would be a good move, as much as the fee is pretty generous. I would be really sad to see him go. Think he's a top player for us.

5 goals last season in the league too, 2 of them being in the final minutes.
Be sad to see him go as well.

Surprised Sheffield united are bidding this much on Thomas who isnt a very good defender

Anyway , very good defender, shame to see him leave

 

[Mr Panda]

I like Bobby but if it means we can get two in with that money then I'd take it. Charlie Hughes or another right footed centre back needs to be priority before/if we move for Doyle too.

Hopefully it's a case of 'bang bang bang' to quote Iain Dowie. Couple of big sales and it unlocks what Dean's got ready to go, here's hoping.

The fee is fantastic for him. Its simply too much to refuse for someone we were looking to upgrade on anyway.

 

[Adamrb]

it's a decent wedge, sure. but he is out best cb. to lose him now when we are already 1 cb down is rather worrying. I can't see us getting Doyle or Hughes either, so not sure about this one at all

Why are we looking to upgrade him? He's 23 and has loads of improvement in him still. Dominant in the air, scores goals and has pace. Yes some of his distribution isnt perfect but he's a CB and one of the best we've seen in a long time. Massive mistake to let him go imo.

 

[SBT]

On the down side, they’re an important player to us, it’s late in the window, it leaves us light in a key position, and it strengthens a playoff rival.

But on the plus side, it’s silly money, which allows us to both replace him and strengthen the squad long-term. Even if we’re temporarily worse off, history has shown that this kind of money makes the team a more likely promotion candidate in the long run.

In conclusion - yes, let’s sell Jack Rudoni for £20 million+

 

[SleepyGinger]

Thomas is good in both boxes but he is poor on the ball. I’d snap their hand off for 8m.

Thats assuming its him we were looking to upgrade on ? A promotion rival want him

 

[shmmeee]

£8m for Thomas would make up for £0 for O’Hare tbh

 

[Macca]

I mean I know money is tight and Thomas might not be everyones cup if tea but I think we should be aiming at least to have a mid table squad left by the end of August

Why are we linked to a new CB then for £10m

 

[RoysterE17]

Open to thomas moving especially for that money haven't really rated him i find his poor passing so frustrating at times. We need that upgrade replacement if we just get a gap filler at this stage I'd rather keep hold of him. We all know what we want is promotion so I'm open to whatever will get us back there!!

To supplement half the Bulgarian league they’ve brought. Their business this window isn’t looking too bright
