@Brighton Sky Blue had to quote my own post because can't edit for some reason, but yes, I put it up end of last season, so Shmmeees theory that that could have affected the Stamenic transfer could be true.
Fairly sure Luton weren't relegated when this was going on but looked certainty be.
And...
Sheaf refusing the move could well be the reason. Would make sense.
I really wish he'd gone. His stock won't be that high again after a high profile end to the season courtesy of the cup run andI don't think we'd miss anywhere near as much as the other big name players who have gone.
Like I say, he didn't want to go, what can you do?
He obviously has a higher opinion of himself than we do.
I don't think the club would have tried to persuade him to stay if he wanted to go for that money.
We definitely got offered 15
He declined the move not the club.
I can't see any way we get that for him now though hopefully you're right and his value hasn't dropped too much.
I know someone who knows his family, I haven't seen them for a bit but will probably see them at Cardiff so will try...
He didn't want to go.
We could have tried to force him out for the money, (has happened often in the past), but we didn't, and equally he could have dug his heels in.
One things for sure, his value has dropped, and I'd say quite dramatically.
They'd all be needed and get a decent amount of games in a succesful Championship season.
We've often been short of midfield bodies since we returned to the championship, be good to have a really strong pool for once.
I definitely think he can play there and would be happy for him to play there if we bought someone in the Hamer mould.
But if we got the right fee for Sheaf what's to say we couldn't bring in a Hamer type and a specialist number 6.
