NorthCarolinaYellow 197 Posted July 21, 2021 Look ... Cantwell clearly kind of wanted to go last year ... if he really wants to leave it would NOT help us one bit to stop him. We'd have to get the best price possible and carry on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,825 Posted July 21, 2021 Just now, Cantiaci Canary said: Ha ha! No disguises here buddy! I just 'get' what the approach is and why we would be selling Todd if we do. Ultimately, I totally trust Webber and am reassured that he knows a lot more than I ever will about what will make a football club without a billionaire owner 'stronger. Well if that approach is selling your best players upon promotion, replacing them for a fraction and being successful in the top flight then the mans a genius.

Why do you need to get so angry and nasty about an obvious tongue in cheek remark? It was meant jokingly, ie. not serious. (MK Dons was the clue.) I will never desert my club, but I am allowed the occasional bout of frustration at "what's been happening for thirty years" (more actually.) I was in my short trousers when Ron Davies was sold. He was my hero. I need no rebuke, nor lectures. Chill. Edited July 22, 2021 by BroadstairsR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,349 Posted July 21, 2021 Dave Freezer was right, we are supposed to get behind a club not a balance sheet. It's difficult to see how we're going to succeed in competing at the top level if we sell all our talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But, you don't know who will come in with the money made on Todd (if he goes). Isn't the fact that our players are in high demand proof that our project is working? Look at how virtually all of the Premier League teams sell players frequently to each other up the food chain or abroad to Madrid and Barca. Players are flourishing here - to the club's benefit. We are only at the start of the project. Perhaps in a few years time we'll be able to hold on to our brightest and best but for now it's all about selling for profit, reinvesting shrewdly and growing the club from the roots up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joke coming up (nb):- ITFC live in the past NCFC live in the future. Slightly disagree with that last bit in theory but it depends on the quality of execution, as @Cantiaci Canary said earlier. By selling good players when at high value, it provides the best opportunity for relatively quick instant gains, but always with one eye on the future - but it boils down on the quality/performance of the players brought in to replace them. Rather than bemoan that star players go, consider this an opportunity for others to step up. And let's face it, for all their suitors, Buendia and Cantwell were still part of a Norwich attack that didn't score too many last time in the top flight - and neither are exactly ultra-pacey. We were a bit short of athleticism in the middle of the park and for all their excellent technique, they couldn't quite counteract the combinations of brawn and brain we faced. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The future is 6 weeks from now we play Liverpool in our opening game and we've already sold our best player and now it looks like our 2nd best midfield talent is also out the door. If we don't have a competitive squad, the future is another poor season and inevitable relegation. Selling Todd is only acceptable if we are willing to spend the money to recruit talent to replace him. We're struggling to land our targets even with the Buendia money, what will be different if we sell Todd? Edited July 21, 2021 by Canary Wundaboy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Virtual reality 670 Posted July 21, 2021 I was told a while ago that Buendia, Aarons and Cantwell would all likely be leaving this summer and there was to be a massive squad overhaul for the new season. Time will tell if clubs match our valuations. Can’t say I’m impressed with this though. It’s a massive ask to rebuild and expect the new players to hit the ground running after selling such important players 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
