Current Player Thread Jack Currie

Ricky Jade Jones 21st fastest player in the Bundesliga according to official stats...I'd take the table with a massive pinch of salt.

Anyone believe this?

Has carried the likes of Dembele and Krastev so far this season. So hopefully should be lightening this half of the season

Love the kid but absolutely not

 

[MMYellow]

Ain’t nobody, like Jack Currie
Makes me happy, makes me feel this way!

Doesn’t feel right that the man doesn’t have a chant when half our loan players do!

 

[Sutton Yellow]

He's a very significant asset to the football club already. Whatever division we are in next season, I would imagine we will get offers this summer.

Yes almost certainly. Prices for LB his age at this level start at £5m. Regardless of where we finish nearly all our players still in contract will be worth more than double what we paid for them. My biggest worry would be losing Brannagan even it was for a significant fee.

If we were to be relegated, I would hope that we tried to keep him ( although I suspect that him and BDK would be off for good money)

Yes I think they both would and well deserved too. I think the recruitment at the moment is sound and sensible rather than spectacular and wasteful. I would like to think we were capable of bouncing straight back if the worst (not the inevitable) happens.

Not that long ago Tyler was worth millions and millions (according to here) then he would be lucky to get a loan to L1 which is his level (according to here). I would suggest that we would not get 5 million for Curry currently, as promising as he is.

The encouraging thing about Currie is that while he is a bit raw, he is still improving. Which bodes well for both him and us.

If we are relegated, I think there's no hope of keeping him - he'd easily get another Championship club and we shouldn't really stand in his way.

 

[Gordon]

Currie, BDK and Cumming are probably our most sellable assets at the moment.

Would imagine £2m a piece for Currie and Cumming, £3m for BDK?

If he can add a couple of assists and maybe even a goal or two I'd imagine his price tag goes up significantly.

With our improved coaching staff it’s a win all round.

Raw curry isn't that bad, to be fair (although far better cooked twice)

You'll get a tummy ache if you aren't careful.

"You can't Currie love
No you'll just have to wait
He just makes it look easaaaay
It's a game of give and take"

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Didn't think he had it in him! Good to see!

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

That didn't work well, here's him giving it the biggun at full time!

 

[Jaboysmith]

I think he is the only one that will go no matter what league we are in next year. 8/10 every week, and could easily get into a team with higher aspirations than us

 

[RgYellows]

Sheff Utd paid £3m (reportedly rising to up to £6m) for a L1 left back who didn’t have a year of Championship experience under his belt. Two years ago, before the new TV deal money came in. We should not be selling Currie for £2-3m. Good grief.

 

[carefreeoufc]

He’s probably our highest performing player, consistently. Who knows his value, but he’s destined to play in the Championship next season.

 

[greatunclekip]

A genuine great discovery and, where I will give the recruitment team a hammering for the majority of their decisions, Currie is a superb acquisition

 

[West Oxon U’s]

He goes by the name of Jack Currie.

 

[Eric Blair]

He will leave us one day. When that day comes I won’t cry that it’s over. I will smile that it happened.

 

[EastStandKieran]

Player of the season for me whenever he's been fit and available to play he's never let us down

 

[Northernyellow]

I saw him play a lot for AFCW in L2. He was an obvious standout. Was a bit lightweight, but has really bulked up since then. He's probably not quite quick enough to play PL, but he's definitely very good Championship standard. Very popular at AFCW behind the scenes, apparently- nice lad, and did lots of community work.

What is this obsession with selling off our players? People go on about other clubs saying #teamslikeoxford and moan about it but then we have our own fans saying any player that is any good for us will be sold in the summer.
That is small club mentality!
Players like Currie should be the ones we are trying to put a long term contract infront of them, not sell them off!

Because it's all about the money, I'm afraid. Currie will probably have a relegation clause in his contract. Which means that he will be able (probably) to get 3x his salary by a move to a high end Championship club. It's a short career- he's obviously going to want to go. And we'll get £3-4M+.

That small club mentality is what saw us rise under Appleton. If you can build a sustainable player trading model, where you for example buy a player like Currie for 350k and then after 2/3 years flip him to a team like an Ipswich, or a Wolves for 4 or 5 million quid, that will make the club more attractive for other young players looking to grow and the cycle continues until it grows and grows.

Our most unsuccessful season of the last 10 years I would say is the last one under Karl, in which we stopped player trading to make a large push at finally getting over the hump.

Selling players should not be taboo. It allows for reinvestment. Look at Boro. They sold Latte Lath for 20 million quid and built the spine of a squad that will likely promote them to the premier league 18 months later.
