Derek Sims 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Original bid of £2.5 & Sorensen expected to rise as the bid of James Beatie for £6 was rejected. Villa are expect to place a bid soon with around £3.5 - £4M plus Sorensen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canarychick 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Oh no. I don''t want Green to go. And I definitely don''t want Sorenson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hook norton canary 0 Posted January 9, 2005 if its gonna happen its gonna have to be soon so we can take advantage of the cash!not to sure about sorenson though, usually reliable but 2 big mistakes against B''ham and sheff utd! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshmallowMan 0 Posted January 9, 2005 I don''t see Sorenson wanting to come here. He''s on £30,000 a week at Villa and we can''t afford salarys like that - especially for a player we dont actually want!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire canary 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Villa have had a £4m bid for Kevin Phillips turned down by Soyhampton - I think O''Leary is being more pragmatic and chasing a striker not a replacement/long-term keeper at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midland Canary 0 Posted January 9, 2005 i agree with Andrew but if he does go and then we spend the money Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northern Canary 0 Posted January 9, 2005 i dont see why he would go as it seems worthy has more money than has been said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,652 Posted January 9, 2005 I do not think that this will happen however if it did that would be good business in my opinion. Sorenson is a top keeper and the money would enable us to buy the extra players that could keep us in the top flight. After seeing yesterday I think another midfielder is required and Worthy still seems to want harewood. Having seen him play yesterday I can see why as although raw he clearly has the strength and pace to be quite a handful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nycanary 1 Posted January 9, 2005 er..hate to say this but 3.5 -4 million for Green PLUS we get Sorensen is an excellent deal for us assuming personal terms with Sorensen make sense. he is not a bad keeper at all and to get the 3.5 - 4 million on top? DEFINITELY. he''s in the category of keepers that includes Van der Sar; Jaaskalainen; Neimi; Schwarzer. not bad keepers at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 342 Posted January 10, 2005 I think even £2.5m + sorenson would have to be considered - Sorenson is an above average keeper and worth at least £2-£2.5m if not more.A proven international used to the prem should not be sneezed at and if it gives us more cash to look at strengthening defence or forwards then all the better.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavMan 0 Posted January 10, 2005 Could not agree more Zipper. At the end of the day the club will survive without Green just as it has survived with other star players that have left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Canary 0 Posted January 10, 2005 As pointed out, O''Leary is more interested in a striker. I would be more worried about him coming in for Hux than Green. He did sign him before.I think Green will stay to the end of the season, it would just be too expensive for another club to buy him from us now. Clubs will wait, hope we get relegated and pick at our bones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 342 Posted January 10, 2005 I agree Saint Canary that Greeno would be best served by staying until the end of the season at least and I would be very sad to see him go.Some offers would be very unattractive - however my view is that cash plus an excellent replacement keeper would have to be very seriously considered if the offer were made. My preference would be to keep Greeno and invest in the squad without selling him.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
