yeah but you also think Ben Sheaf is shit, and Josh Eccles is prime Zinedine Zidane, so take from that what you will….
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.
As long as were not in a position of relying on either/or Bidwell LCB and Lati RCB. Thats all I care! If we get to that point, I'm out! DK can have my ST back.This is another important point. Getting someone in now means changing the defence combination again and we know how that worked out in the past!

Disagree, transfer window is an excellent time to be buying and sellingNot an ideal time to be selling players to say the least.
My guess is that if we can get £8 million for Thomas then why wouldn’t Millwall expect the same ?How much would Tanganga cost from Millwall
The rumour I heard in late June. But I’m not remotely ITK and neither was the person who told me.
OK, do you know how I can contact Frank or Doug and suggest to them?My guess is that if we can get £8 million for Thomas then why wouldn’t Millwall expect the same ?

A very strange & unsettling time , behind the scenes . I hope that there are quality signings/replacements in the pipeline , as by tomorrow afternoon, we could be sitting on just 1 point from our first 2 games , after looking at the kindest fixture fall , in seasons .

Only if we are allowed to clap!There’s another song gone then.
We’ll be doing WLADITT on extended remix by the time QPR comes around.
We huffed & puffed to a 1 nil win then drew nil nil against 2 of the worst L1 teams in history.A very strange & unsettling time , behind the scenes .

I agree with that. Do I think Thomas is a good player? Yes - very much so.Bobby emotionally has support from fans, perhaps because he has chipped in with a few (important) goals, but more likely because he’s the best of an average bunch.
Taking emotion out of it, it’s so obvious that other teams let him have the ball and then man mark, because he’s lacks the ability with the ball at his feet. With the way we play this is a big flaw. He’s also prone to mistakes, and rash challenges.
I do think he is a top half championship defender, but for the money, I do think it’s decent business.
It clearly can’t be just him and Kitching for the season.I agree with that. Do I think Thomas is a good player? Yes - very much so.
do I think we can use the 8m to upgrade him? Definitely.
the key thing is the replacement. If it ends up being Latibeudiere we’ve massively downgraded
We can't turn down 8m for Bobby Thomas. If this was 1030pm on transfer deadline day your point is valid, but with 2 weeks to go 8m is great business and allows us to upgrade in that area of the pitch.From a business sense £8m for Thomas is good value. From a football sense it’s a terrible idea to let him go. Time to see which side of that fence Douglas wants to be.
What if nobody is available/we get beaten to players we are targeting? (Plus everyone knows we have 8m!)We can't turn down 8m for Bobby Thomas. If this was 1030pm on transfer deadline day your point is valid, but with 2 weeks to go 8m is great business and allows us to upgrade in that area of the pitch.
Not really though is it. It's basically Thomas and Binks + £500k = Hughes. We get Hughes but still a CB too light, and Lati is still our only senior back up CB.So, Bobby Thomas + 3million quid for Charlie Hughes would be a pretty good deal, i think.
City fans … it’s been a terrible window … we need to move players on, we need to strengthen our defence; we need to raise the funds to bring players in but no one want our players.
also City fans …. It’s worrying to sell a player like Thomas.
It’s Bobby fuckin Thomas not Virgil van dyke did gods sake ….

I understand the reasoning behind it, but its a HUGE gamble. Why haven't we already signed a CH? If rumours are to be believed we've bid £8m for Hughes and been knocked back. So its not a lack of funds or a lack of trying that we haven't so far bought in a new CH.We can't turn down 8m for Bobby Thomas.

If its all true, Blades are also in for Doyle and Hughes. They're clearly in the market for 2x CHs. Imagine we sell Thomas on the "hope" of still having 2 weeks left and Blades sign Hughes and whilst we're chasing Hughes somebody else comes in and pips us to Doyle. Then we end up with Lati! Great laugh. But its ok though because we've got £8m in the bank for Thomas' sale and hugely strengthened a competitors defence in doing so.
IF, and its a big IF, we can sign 1 of Doyle or Hughes early next week, id happily see Thomas go. Same as MVE. Now his replacement is here he can go. But id of been pissed if he'd of gone without already having his replacement in the door. Especially this late on in the window. It's a huge gamble that could completely derail our season before its even started.
