anonamoose 4 Posted April 29, 2021 😢 To be fair it was almost unbelievable we managed to keep him this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazzaJet 252 Posted April 29, 2021 Will probably attract more clubs into signing him - nominated in the Championship POTS awards as well. I’m desperate to keep him for next season as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not including Dublin as he retired rather than moving to a different club. In 2 of the 4 cases (Croft and Snodgrass) we were relegated at the end of the season in question and sold the player for a profit. We also did pretty well out of Maddison.

Lee Croft we came to a mutual agreement with and let him go for free. Andrew Crofts we sold, if rumours are to be believed, for £50k more than we signed him for. In the world of football thats a couple of weeks wages. Not exactly a huge profit and to be fair, he had increased his value in his time with us. Either way, Lee Croft got a player of the season award, Andre Crofts did not. Important distinction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imported Canary 3 Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) Ah yes, forgot Marshall (but you could argue moving down the road doesn’t count) Edited April 29, 2021 by Imported Canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirku 1,332 Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) One thing's for sure, we've come a long way since Lee Croft was our best player.. Edited April 29, 2021 by kirku 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gibbo 131 Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I thought Sammy Clingan won and left too? Edit - looks like he must have come second or something... I was sure he won it once! Edited April 30, 2021 by Gibbo Incorrect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
