But those goals will be replaced (in theory) by the new singings making a big sale enables us to make.We need goals.
We already have a leaky defence, and we need to sell to stay afloat then Hyam goes.
I’m not happy like you are but if it’s a choice of a scorer, or a defender who at least several posters call out each week as too slow then Hyam it is.
It’s shit either way.
Don't agree.
Losing Hyam and replacing with nobody or a loan is just fucking stupid squad management.
I'd hate Gyokeres to go but if it was over £10m and we signed a striker to replace him and a midfielder (for example) then it makes sense that we're progressing the squad as well as balancing the books.
Hobson's choice really. Gyokeres does look indispensable though. Only reason it would be better he went is you'd hope the fee would be high enough to at least be able to fashion a replacement.

What we're doing here is losing a key player for fuck all. If SBB is to be believed our vice captain is going to plug operating costs. The squad is being made weaker not following a model of buy develop sell buy, we're just making the squad weaker because the ownership won't run a championship club.
If we end up selling Gyokeres, Walker may yet have the opportunity to show why we signed him...We can’t afford to just have the likes of Kane and Walker seeing the contracts out
Agree with the rest, particularly Kelly who we inexplicably gave a two year extension to.the problem is unlike in league one and league two it’s not easy to sell assets and replace them
Dom has goneYeah and I’ll start panicking if there’s a massive fire sale between now and Wednesday but as things stand I’m still relatively confident

This I take issue with, the much spoken about Brentford model involved just that, Sell Watkins for big money - sign Toney for a more modest fee.
We won't be looking at the expenditure they did but if our recruitment team (when given actual cash instead of rummaging in the bargain basement) can bring in Gyokeres, Hamer, Sheaf and O'Hare for £2-3m then we should back them to do it again.
Clear that would have to change if Gyokeres went, though. tbf we went a season with Walker and Godden as the main men, if injured at different times to one another!he doesn’t fit our system
It’s the club they need to sellDom has gone
just vik now
Not two years after being promoted from L1 they weren't. They were still signing players to develop, sell and replace though.Brentford were paying £44 million on wages and an owner who gifted a £100 million loan on interest fees non secured terms

The principle is maybe there, though. Charlton did it on a smaller scale under Curbishley. The main problem we have, however, is it seems the percentage of transfer fees required for running costs is so much, that managing to bump us up with two or three decent, solid players with potential to replace doesn't actually look possible. If we were to sell Hyam and Gyokeres, say, then as you indeed suggest it should have been done early, and there should have been four, minimum, maybe five players of a decent level through the door - and I'm not talking the gambles like Palmer, I'm talking the players with an established track record already, looking to step up.Matthew Benham breaks through £100m investment barrier
The Bees made a greater loss the season before, even though they brought in £15,443,985 through player departureswww.mylondon.news
He was writing off tens of millions in loans season after season and injected millions even prior to his ownership as he's a boyhood fan.
Any notion that we could ever replicate what they've done is sheer fantasy.

The only way this really makes any sense is if sisu are refusing to put the operating funds in because they are arranging a sale of the club and the new owners want the Crown Jewels in place.
Doubt it though.

I don’t know anything mateIs Viktor supposedly off then?
No one has ever claimed to be following Brentford’s model other than fans to be fair
We’re in a bit of a no man’s land by that if all reports are correct the club is quite clearly up for sale, and no owner would pump loads of money into a club they are trying to get rid of - In the meantime SISU will do the bare minimum to keep the club afloat until it is gone, player sales will obviously be a part of that and hopefully it’s just this one - Mike Ashley did it at Newcastle for years
Hopefully MR can keep us ticking along on the pitch and if we’re only to lose Hyam I think he can, selling Gyökeres would be a disaster mind you
On one of the podcasts he did can’t remember which one now, Boddy said that’s who we’re trying to emulate.

Well Stoke has fallen through for them, you think Sunderland will be an option?Our management team are not thick they will have plans.
Any reason why sisu allowed us to bring together a great title winning squad when we were losing money hand over fist to play in Birmingham but when we're not far from a playoff championship team they decide it's time to asset strip?
If they sell an ever present first team player and not replace them then yes.Is anything actually being asset stripped?

Perhaps we can put the money into the club and new contracts for Viktor, O’hare and Gus, if that happens then I’ll happily take a loan, perhaps that Van Hecke of Brighton?
We can’t just keep offering new deals to players we offered contracts to a year agoPerhaps we can put the money into the club and new contracts for Viktor, O’hare and Gus, if that happens then I’ll happily take a loan, perhaps that Van Hecke of Brighton?
