The main thing seems to be that at least our projected sales at least pay for themselves salary wise.

Making 8x what we paid on him would be excellent business if we can get a replacement.

People say we need to upgrade the defence but then complain when we have to move people on. Seems a fair price to me and allows us to hopefully go and get players to suit FL.

I 100% agree with the sale if it’s around 10 million for the reasons you explained. I’m unconvinced he suits how Lampard wants to play.

People not understanding his attributes and why other teams may be interested in his services for the kind of sum being spoken about is my only issue!

Who is Wardy on twitter? Is he a Cov superfan?

Am I missing something with Doyle, why is everyone wanting him... Yes he had a decent season with us but loaned to Leicester they didn't sign him, loaned to Norwich they didn't sign him... Man City never going to play him... No club bid for him as yet... I would rather keep Bobby and sign 1 more CD to compete with him and Liam... I think we need to spend decent money on a striker not a defender 🤔

Not 100% sure of this but I think this may be the first window where Man city have said they'll sell him.

I'd 100% sell Thomas for £8m assuming we get an adequate replacement for £2m or a season long loan (e.g. Callum Doyle)

But is he near the top for passes attempted and progressive passes?

He won't like that stat. He said he's "gash" and that's all there is to it. Wonder why SU are prepared to pay £8M for someone who's "gash".

You do know the pass completion stat is a %, therefore the amount of passes made is irrelevant.

Hes in the top 35% for progressive passes, hardly amazing.

You'd better let SU know.

View attachment 45206In the bottom 3rd of the leagues defenders for pass completion is why.

At the end of the day these stats are meaningless on their own as there is no context to them. Bearing in mind we are talking about a defender then stats for tackles, blocks, headers and clearances needs to come into play to judge his overall value to us, not withstanding his goal threat which our other defenders lack.

A suggested post on Facebook this afternoon was a story about this on a Sheffield United fan page.

Their supporters comments include, that it would be a panic buy, not worth 8 million, only worth 4 million tops maybe with some add ons 😂😂😂

Yeah I’m not sure he’s worth 8 million either, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try and get 10 for him!

Thomas might not want to go to SU though… he seems pretty settled here
