    [quote user="Jim Smith"]I would add that if we can get good money I can see the rationale for selling Howson, provided that we can use the money to bring in a couple of decent defenders. he''s a great player but not as consistently influential as he should be and goes missing in games too often.

    What I object to here is the spin from the club again, really worries me that this is a massive downsizing exercise being spun as rebuilding.[/quote]

    Sorry Jim your points don''t make sense. Downsizing is rebuilding surely?

    The whole point is the club cannot afford the lucrative deal Howson is on for another 2/3 years, likewise, I would assume JH is looking for one last hurrah as he''s heading into his 30''s. If he knows a lower end Prem team is in for him, keen to pay him at least what he is on now, it makes sense for him and us. In 2 years time, his market value will be nowhere near the value now, in fact, next season with only one year will be greatly reduced.

    Even if the club have spun this as you state, it makes sense all round to me.

    Really enjoyable game to watch, the team played as a unit, defended well and, most importantly, completed the ''Dirty'' style of defending, no messing when necessary.

    Both full backs impressed me, Grant composed, but for me the 2 front lads and Adams were the stars. Jaiyesimi had all the tricks in the number 10 role, Ashton Seal was powerful and quick, but Adams had that bit of X Factor in his game, as well as taking few prisoners.

    Certainly potential here...

    West Cost sums it up very well, but as most threads there seems real misunderstanding of how the modern football transfer system works...

    If a player is not wanted we cant sell him. People keep saying sell Bassong, sell Turner, Lafferty etc. If no one wants them how can we sell??/ Likewise Olsson holds and did hold all the aces. He refused a contract for a few years, I know the club has tried many times to tie him down. This agreement was to allow the club to get a reasonable price and for him to be a good value buy for a mid to low PL club. Best we could do.

    Whilst the club needs to take some blame for certain issues at the minute, there is little we can do to shift under contract players if no one wants them.
