I think we expected a Milan sale this window, if that doesn’t happen Sheaf might be the sacrificial lamb.

If you replace him with some kid on loan from Chelsea that’s not played much it’s a disgrace

We aren't replacing him with a loan. He was replaced in January when we got Grimes. Grimes is far better than Sheaf.

Grimes needs to be skipper IMO.

Sheaf to sheep strokers? Call him an Uber. Get the money.

I’d rather let Sheaf go for 6m than MVE any day of the week.

What the same Milan who we spent 4 million on replacing? Yet you’d want us weaker with a random kid coming in on loan for our captain

Also Wrexham will probably be challenging us for the top 6 this season, this decision would be ridiculous and kings most embarrassing unless he’s got a proven cm coming in! Even then I wouldn’t sell him regardless

Lads, please stop acting like Sheaf is great because he's our captain. He's constantly injured and hasn't managed to regain 23/24 season form due to this. If the daft yanks want to spend £5-10m on him, then crack on.

Or selling someone who’s always injured, doesn’t get into our best 11, to a team willing to over pay for players. If it’s a loan with an option to buy with how highly rated he is at Chelsea, it’s a no brainer

That’s poor recruitment, he’s barely even played for the first team. If you think it makes us stronger you are deluded

I don’t think it makes us stronger, just don’t mind selling a player ooc next summer who’s struggling with injuries. Especially when I think Grimes and Torp are set in stone atm.

Where did I say anything about some kid on loan?

Sheaf isn’t a Doyle style / Kelly style / Fadz style proper skipper.

Grimes over Sheaf as skipper any day.

For the right money it would be good business , hes been here a long time , hes becoming more injury prone and it could help fund a good more mobile replacement

Sheaf is permacrocked and even when rarely fit arguably doesn’t get in our starting 11.

If Wrexham want to pay us millions I don’t mind it.

Yeah, i was told bids for both went in on Thursday just gone. Hull rejected and Ipswich seemingly blocking the move, though the player wants out.
Ipswich aren't going to want a player at the club that openly wants to leave, hopefully a deal has been done.
Click to expand...
You sure we went for both? Not wanting to doubt you - just surprised at the cash that would have costed us. Especially as it looks like there is no "major" player outgoings. Could be a rare exciting deadline day for us, just a shame it finishes at 7pm!

Pretty much all of Wrexham’s transfers leak before they’re confirmed as they like to have new signings walk around in full Wrexham tracksuits in the car park for a bit before announcing them.

Would be pretty mental if that happened last day. Leaves us pretty short in CM. If they offer us £10m though cant turn that down.

Window going pretty pearshaped

This. Sheaf has been brilliant for us, but now would be the perfect time to collect a fee. We can't afford to be sentimental when factoring in his age and injury record.

This is it, If it was 23/24 Sheaf absolutely not but he’s not been fit for a while now.

If we did sign the Chelsea loan to cover Grimes, could open Hughes back up

Unless we have deals lined up , could work out well for us and might finance what we actually want

Selling Sheaf for millions to replace him with a loan would be pretty bad to be honest.

Depends.

If its the straw that breaks the camels back on the hughes deal thats good.

If its Sheaf out and Woolfenden and a Chelsea loan in that would be pretty dissapointing.

Sheaf isn’t a starter anymore and if we can get £10m you take it and go and get Hamer…

Im not sure I agree with all the twitter fans telling Wrexham fans hes shit ... hes not shit hes a good player but at this time I feel like the move could work out well for us with his injuries becoming more frequent and could help us fund what we need

It's all about the dosh. Like you say a daft amount and maybe Hughes isn't dead in the water after all. Decent CM replacement needed agreed

Not too bothered about losing Sheaf

Great servant but should have flogged him last season in hindsight
