Gavin Whyte

What if we accepted a bid for Whyte because we'd had one accepted for Browne?

well yes there is that although tiger is reported to have said get Browne at whatever cost and not get browne and we'll sell whyte.

 

[Manorlounger]

If it happens, not a bad bit of business for both with him being here a year or so. I don't want him to leave, but if someone pays the right price, that is football. We'll do the same to some other club soon, presumably.

i thought so many fans thought this was the way for us given many keep talking about players value to sell on before we even sign them.
certainly this was said when i've suggested that just for once it would be nice to keep a squad together with the odd tinker here and there and actual have a good go at it.

If the price is right. That means a lot more than £2 million. How about the £4 million as quoted by KR.

Still be a disaster right before the start of the season but £4 million is a lot of money for OUFC

I don’t think anyone would argue if:

1. We hadn’t bought anyone, but someone came in with a silly offer like £8m for Whyte

1. We sold him for £3-4m and bought in 3-4 other good players like Browne, that £500k CB, a striker etc

But if we sell him for £2m and don’t get anyone in, how can anyone be happy??

Well, Eales will be.

Scotchers will be along shortly to give you the answer.

Going for undisclosed will be the way

We don't know what is included in the £2 million. Chances are it will be the up front money, with more cash for appearances, etc, etc. It's not ideal, but not a crisis point at this moment either

don't forget his former club will get a nice chunk

You can bet your bottom dollar several people will spin it positively - my money is on " we're proving to be a place where players can develop".

 

[Essexyellows]

It`ll be undisclosed and @Eaststandboy & @Malc will retire to Barbados on the back of the advertising clicks & forum turnover.

If it`s £4 million then get him sold.........

If its £2 million its not enough .......

Sadly "we" don`t get a say in it, nor know what happens behind the scenes.

Of course, but that's the nature of the beast. It does prove he was a good risk to take last year.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

The one saving grace of this transfer window was that we'd kept the best and most promising players that were under contract. IF this turns out to be true and the price quoted is correct then I'm not surprised KR looks increasingly pissed off every time he's interviewed.

 

[Gary Baldi]

If the player has indicated he wants to go, there is sweet fa we can do about it. We aren't big enough to force a player to sit in the stands until he decides he wants to stay

 

[Steve McAvoy]

We have been told any number of times that this is the model; from that perspective I have no argument with the decision, albeit really disappointed to lose a player of such obvious potential. What Does disappoint is the continuing lack of honest engagement with the supporters by the ownership. Robinson looks like his job is to be hung out to dry.
Good luck and thanks, Gavin.

 

[Upthecowboys]

What if Gav forced the move?

Be an easy thing for the club to say.
Let’s see if it happens.

My guess was that he’d get sold in January. Another 25 games to reinforce how good he is, then a proper auction when clubs panic or invest in a final promotion push.

We could hang out for a decent price! I accept we are a selling club - almost all are - but IF we selling him for half of what it was indicated he was worth then that rings the cash-flow alarm bells for me (despite the grandiose claims of bidding half a million here and there for players. Ones that don't sign).

 

[WuTang]

I wonder if it's £2m upfront, which could lead to £4m with add ons?

The problem is, if, that price is what the market is saying he's worth, we cannot do anything about it. Ultimately, the power is with the player and the clubs are along for the ride. I don't agree with it, but that is the reality of where modern day football is.

We have to like it or lump it.

 

[beyondthefourth]

I can't see anything anywhere from reputable sources that says we've accepted a bid. Just people piggybacking on this one rumour.

Can we not get ahead of ourselves on this one just yet?

 

[Oufcluke34]

2 million for someone whos valued at double that, tiger asset stripping!!!!
was warned about this when he first arrived,seems to be coming true.
championship football within a few years hahahahahaha, what a load of s**t and f**k off back to reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
