IF both of those happened then fine. Good moves!
I know I shouldn’t bite but... I must be missing something. How are these good moves? For the individual maybe, but not for the team going into the start of the season. Our track record of undisclosed fees and never appearing to get big money does not fill me with great hopes. Equally if they did command good fees where is that likely to get reinvested? |
I think someone should just take this city of Peterborough and just... just flush it down the f***in' toilet

Sorry, meant good moves for the players in question so wouldn't begrudge them. |

Agreed. Happily say goodbye after they have dismantled teams all season long, secured promotion and maxed out their transfer value.
If Grimes was a £1.75 million transfer then S McWilliams must be as well!

The fact Bradford pulled out of the Crooks running because of our asking price I guess shows for once we are doing the right thing.
McWilliams would surely be minimum 500k? You are buying so much potential..

Toney moved to Newcastle for circa 500k when DC was on 'financial damage limitations' Id speculate that if we sell the likes of McWilliams this early on, then you can assume that there is either no serious buyer in the offing OR the people KT is talking with are only after one thing. I will of course take a hammering for such a negative sounding post, however I did so on many occasions around 3 years ago!  I reckon McWilliams will still be here though. It would be foolish to cash in now, it would also be foolish for McWilliams to potentially 'get lost' at a higher level. The boy could easily become a prem player in the next 2-3 years earning 20k plus a week in my opinion and needs to be playing week in week out. Thats how highly I rate him. What the hell was JFH doing not playing him I will never ever know!! |

How depressing is it that we are discussing the possible departure of another of our most promising youngsters for what I’m sure will be a fraction of what he’s worth and won’t be reinvested (we might get a couple of loans)?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing however I believe that if McWilliams had played more last year we would have stayed up.

Yes. Can you believe Hasselbaink was starting Perreira in CM ahead of McWilliams at times last season? Dropped Buchanan for a new LB he brought in who couldn't defend, tackle and had absolutely no positional sense? The guy was one of the worst managers I've seen at any club at any level. |

sadly, i think we can all believe it - as JFH was an absolute laughing stock as a manager. completely incapable. |

Personally I would love to see McWilliams stay for 1 more season. I get more and more annoyed when we don't get to see our young players properly for our own team.
Win us promotion then leave.

You’d like to think that he and his family would see the benefit from staying another year as a regular starter, getting more experience and then getting a big move - unfortunately I’m sure money will talk and his agents’ eyes will be lighting up. If he does go he’s got to be careful he’s not benchwarming for a championship side as that will stunt his development. |

Pretty sure it was about £300/350k - big bone of contention that it was so low a fee! |

Rumour - McWilliams to Norwich & Crooks to Sunderland
McWilliams must of impressed Norwich's scout during his 2 minute cameo v Blackburn! |
