He could sign a pre agreement for free in Jan next year if hdd ed moved outside of the UK. We can’t take that risk.

If Sheaf won’t sign a new deal we have to sell …..

Makes sense …. We can’t keep adding centre half’s and left backs and CM’s …some need to leave ….. In centre mid we have Sheaf, Eccles, Torp, Rudi, Allen, Andrews, again we need a different type of CM so at least 2 need to move on …. We have 5 forwards …. Simms, Wright, Bassette, BTA, and...

This window will be interesting as Lampard will have a clear set of expectations and Austin will know it’s a make or break window for him too

Is this a wind up post ?

Maybe Sheaf has accepted that to get to the Premier League he needs to get promoted into it rather than a proven premier league club signing him.

Seems very cheap to me relative to our expectations only a few months ago and if true an illustration of both his form this year and his contract is running down ….

He’s clearly not going to be drawn and why should he.

You can only judge a window after it has closed, not 3 days in.

🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t think this is the case at all. If he wants a move, or Sheaf, then they need to Play well to impress would be suitors. I think he’s lost a bit of confidence and he’s been asked to reign in his forward runs to cover our slow centre half’s.

He wouldn’t have given us the experience or physicality that sone crave but his distribution from the back would have been a step up.

This is a big window for Frank and in turn therefore Austin. Frank wants to make progress and see the club honour the commitments they gave him when joining, and Austin needs to improve his success rate or is vulnerable when the new DOF is appointed.

Of course we will sell our best players, almost every club does. The key to progress is to sell well, invest well, and improve the quality of the total squad over time. If selling MVE gets us a new right back and a Centre half better than we have now then it’s progress. If the fee is big...

God knows why we panicked as we tracked him all summer ……

Sounds like we didn’t do our due diligence on him

Most transfers incoming or outgoing are staged payments so it’s really a cash flow issue.

Players do get moved on regularly they are just not talked about as a bad apple otherwise no one would take them.

Because that’s the modern way. Most championship teams now meet before and travel together. This isn’t unique to us. West Brom insist their players stop at the hotel the night before home matches. It’s not because they are trying to fix a team morale issue.
