Mister Chops 7 Posted May 25, 2008 [quote user="Canary Boy"]A lot more than £400,000 wouldn''t you say?[/quote]Not until he does something, no.And don''t think we won''t have a hefty sell-on clause in the contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrowfortress 0 Posted May 25, 2008 But would he have been in this position had he have stayed with us........probably not. At least he is pushing on his career plus the added bonus of the 25% selling on claus we have on his contract. Good luck to him and i hope he does really well for himself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MTV 0 Posted May 25, 2008 This was a good bit of business for both City and Joe. But he is only training with England and wont be playing. Capello is a good manager and is looking to the future. He has also put a good few 0''s on Lewis''s price which is also good for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Chimp 0 Posted May 25, 2008 No, he wouldn''t be, because he wouldn''t be playing for England. He was sold by Roeder for this exact reason, and best of luck to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted May 25, 2008 Green is about to climb up some mountain or something, there were probably a few more keepers in line before Joe but with it being the end of season lots of players are on holiday or getting married and stuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you''ve got a brain, possibly not in your case, then you can at least make an estimate.And on the 5 minute thing - remind me again - what''s the longest spell Roeder has lasted as a manager?

He only just left. And we sold him for £400k because he was an unused goalkeeper and probably not worth much at the time. In all honestly its probably not risen by much more than that.

Budapest Canary 152 Posted May 25, 2008 We''ll learn when Posh sells him. Joe''s is a similar story to Bentley''s with Wenger. The fact that Wenger sold him at a certain point of his career does not make him a lousy manager, does it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creative Midfielder 1,996 Posted May 25, 2008 Well the £1mill was just a guess, but since he left he''s starred in a promotion winning team and now called up to the England squad, even if it is for a couple of meaningless friendlies. So my guess is that his value has changed considerably.After all we supposedly paid around that for Marshall who IMO is a very average keeper. Marshall is still fairly young but doesnt seem to plugging the holes in his game. Joe is even less experienced but seems to be developing at a great rate.So who would you prefer if we still had the choice? Personally I would gamble on Joe''s potential, though I fully accept it would be a gamble at this stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Chimp 0 Posted May 25, 2008 So what''s your problem then? We have a £1 mil keeper and prospects coming through that the manager has huge confidence in. Why not sell a player you feel won''t make the line-up and who if he does will be a bench warmer. Roeder respected the fact that Lewis needed full-time football, he was good enough for it and WOULD NOT get it with us. Lewis should be grateful he was sold; had he been with us this opportunity would have never arisen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
