I don't think I'd say better but very similar!Eccles 2023-24 was better than Sheaf 2020-21
2020-21 was Sheafs first season. He was 23, same as Eccles last season. I'd also argue Eccles last season was better than Sheaf 2021-22 as wellnah, outside of his first season Sheaf has been better than anything Eccles has done so far.
Sheaf has many attributes which are up to Prem level, and he deserves a chance to prove it. He still has a habit of giving the ball away a few times in most games, and his shooting is often poor, but those are things which can still be improved. However he also lacks a bit of pace/acceleration, and there's not much you can do about that.Looked as good as any of them in the two PL team games we played. I think people vastly overrate the level of the PL for individual players. On a team level yes they can afford the best of everything and that leads to a massive gap. But I’d back any of our bigger players to make it at that level.
If any PL club offers £15m+ for Sheaf we can’t turn it down. It’s the model we have now where we sell a star to reinvest in a load of new talent.
Although if a club like Man U come along we should be asking for £20m
OK cool, its all just speculation anywayBut if Man Utd are showing (even just tepid) interest in Sheaf. Then it’s game over.
Sheaf’s value will decline next season as he’s a year older and will only have 1 year left on his deal. If we can get £20m for him, no brainer for the club.
As a fan, I’d try and do what you suggest, but can’t see it.
Misread as 21-22.2020-21 was Sheafs first season. He was 23, same as Eccles last season. I'd also argue Eccles last season was better than Sheaf 2021-22 as well
Sheaf has 2 years, we can sell next summer.Unless sheaf is going to sign a new deal why would sell Eccles and keep sheaf for 1 year?
So we’d lose sheaf and Eccles in consecutive years. Not to mention sheaf will be 27 with a year left on his contract, you wouldn’t get anything near the mentioned 15-20 million. This is the summer to sell sheaf.Sheaf has 2 years, we can sell next summer.
Eccles likely won’t even be starting if we have two of Stamenic/Sheaf/Browne in the squad.So we’d lose sheaf and Eccles in consecutive years. Not to mention sheaf will be 27 with a year left on his contract, you wouldn’t get anything near the mentioned 15-20 million. This is the summer to sell sheaf.
Sheaf will be worth twice as much now as he would next summer, if Eccles has another good season in sheaf’s absence we could be getting a similar fee for him next summer.Eccles likely won’t even be starting if we have two of Stamenic/Sheaf/Browne in the squad.
The difference between 1 or 2 years doesn’t mean much in terms of transfer fee. We got good values for Hamer and Vik with 1 year left. We’d still get 10-12m easily (and we’re not going to get 20 this summer).
He’s somewhere in between, Sheaf is a top level CM at this level, Eccles is completely average, not terrible, not amazing, if we got 3m for him, it would be good business.3m for Eccles, sorry thst is ridiculously low. I find it baffling how much some of you underrate him
Wikipedia also states he’s our player now.

Surely its in both Doug and Sheafs courts (if thats even possible?!) we could offer him the moon on a stick but he'd still have to be interested to sign itRobins is pushing Doug to offer Sheaf equal top earner status and permanent captaincy for him to sign a new deal

edited, your mooooove
Hamer was never signing a contract. No matter what anyone thinksThats the same position as Harmer was in last year and he was sold while waiting for Doug to decide
Thats bollocks that Gimoc etc made up. Hamer was destined for the Prem and kept us on the hook as backup until it was done. Why cant people understand that we cant compete with the wages or status any Prem team can offer, its simple.Thats the same position as Harmer was in last year and he was sold while waiting for Doug to decide
