Indy 3,283 Posted January 4, 2014 Sorry to say, but a player who is in his twighlight, heas one good game in 5 and not a regular when Fer, Howson, Johnson, Tettey are fit......I would consider anything above 1.5 million a good deal. Wes has been superb for us and I really like him as a player on his day he can unlock any defence, but is he a luxury City cannot afford to play every week? Could this money be put towards a better younger model? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggy 0 Posted January 4, 2014 If Hoolahan is sold for any less than £4m this January, or for any amount to Aston Villa, I''m not going to Carrow Road again until Hughton, Calderwood and Trollope are no longer at the club.And I mean that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splutcho 173 Posted January 4, 2014 A 31 year old, in the decline with some pretty glaring faults in his game is not going to go for £4m. You''re in a dream world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 4, 2014 £1.5 is an insult especailly to Villa.Id expect between £4-6or £1m + a player , Gabby or Weiiman would be nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggy 0 Posted January 4, 2014 "A 31 year old, in the decline with some pretty glaring faults in his game is not going to go for £4m. You''re in a dream world"Sure, and if you read between the lines that means that I don''t want him gone under any circumstances. A lot of people on here were trying to convince me that it would be fine to spend £8.5m on an Italian of similar age in the summer though. I thought it was a stupid price.31 is not particularly old, £1.5m is peanuts. I don''t want Hughton making any more decisions on players incoming our outgoing. I want a new manager. And then I want that new manager to make the decisions on which players come and go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,329 Posted January 4, 2014 Not very nice ...calling someone , that you dont know, a nonce.... thats a non football related insult. i said earlier , not to villa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted January 4, 2014 "But why would we sell him for anything less than an inflated figure?"Exactly.There is the price that people ask when they want to get rid of somebody.And there is the price that people ask if they don''t want to get rid of somebody.And if we let him go for £1.5m that means he is surplus to requirements.In my opinion he is still a valuable player for us, and letting him go would be stupid unless we get offered stupid money.£4m is stupid money. If we can get £2m for a clapped out 32 year old Grant Holt then why the hell would the price for a Hoolahan capable of playing like he did against Man Utd the other day be £1.5m? Twice as good as Holt = £4m.Simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted January 4, 2014 Fair deal, January is always over inflated though mate. Just look at Andy Caroll and Torres, has to be the most expensive dross ever to exchange hands.Wes prob worth about 2m.Shift him for double that, if its Villa, tripple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juggy 0 Posted January 4, 2014 The way to retain a player is to value him at a price higher than other teams would be willing to pay. There would be plenty of teams who would jump at the chance to sign Hoolahan for £1.5m.That''s why we ask for £5m, so they piss off and leave our players alone. Get it?

Crispy 4 Posted January 4, 2014 He looks a great player but is a bit of a luxury when most of what he does doesn''t really improve an attack.Most of the time he just looks good prancing about with the ball at his feet close to the opposition without actually then playing a decent forward ball.I''d be happy to sell and invest in another player.

morty 0 Posted January 4, 2014 We get, what, 80 million quid if we stay up?So if wes can help us win one or two games then he is worth more than 1.5 mil to us.For that reason, he is worth keeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Born Yellow! 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Clearly a lot of people over rate Hoolahan...but it''s their opinion and I''m happy to hear and add to it. On one hand he can prob play another season after this in the prem after that its dropping back down the leagues. So you either cash out now or wait for less money in a years time or don''t renew his contract?I would take £2m to £2.5mOn the ball mighty yellow supporters!!

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted January 4, 2014 I despair at some of the comments here. Yeah just get rid of wes and we''ll get someone better. People who fail to see how good wes still is are mentally retarded. He has been our best player whenever he has played. Against man utd he was brilliant. £1.5million would never get a player capable of that type of performance. Wake up!! If we lose wes we have zero creativity. We should be putting pressure on Hughton to play him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted January 4, 2014 He''s lay off to Hooper against palace has already proved important a couple of more of those will go a big way to keeping us up. I still think he creates to much of a selection problem for a good player rather than a great one, but would def not sell in jan transfer window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
City 2nd 191 Posted January 4, 2014 Could be a long wait LJ.At 31 cannot see anyone paying 4million for Wes. But with only just over a year left on his contract, I can see city selling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a new playmaker for the long term and Wes can''t fit that role.There comes a time when you have to make that decision. Better earlier when you can still get some money than later when he can walk for free.Someone has to make that decision, it''s hard and he will no doubt take some flack but the time is quickly coming when it will be necessary.

Fundamentals 0 Posted January 4, 2014 Think we need to keep hold of all our players at the moment. when the new manager comes in he can then hopefully play some decent football with a very strong squad which is being made to look very ordinary at the minute. I think hoots should not be left to decide on our players futures especially after watching the treatment of some of our squad. You won''t get wes back once he''s gone so let our new man decide that. (Wishful thinking a new manager I guess) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
