DrLaudrup 4,599 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 He’s always been clear what he’d like to do in his career. We have to ensure whatever happens it is on our terms though. We don’t want an unhappy player, we don’t want to be short changed and we don’t want to be left without cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnstone Burgh 1,637 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 21 hours ago, DBBTB said: I like the look of the boy Dike who’s on loan at Barnsley from Orlando City as a potential replacement for Morelos because he looks like he has all the tools needed to develop into a class striker. Just a shame that the big six are already rumoured to be sniffing about him. Barnsley have an option to buy him at the end of the loan but it’s $20 million. No chance we could get him.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I think Buff's agent has been bumping his gums more than anyone else. Just hope both Alfie and his good lady are feeling a bit more settled as things have been a bit quieter of late on this front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadron Collider 30,867 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Just watched a wee clip on Alfredo on BT Sports 2. This is good as they are talking about his scoring rate. Nothing less than £40 mil for me. Bidding war coming up. What a player! Still hope he stays for the Champions League with us. Love the boy. 💙💙🇬🇧🇬🇧 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One published today/yesterday where he says that there are 'opportunities now' for him to move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,428 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 He’ll go with my best wishes. We’ll never find a direct replacement but that’s where Wilson comes in to identify someone who tries to fit the bill. He deserves to get to 100 goals and I hope he achieves that before the league finishes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,428 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Also the PL is the most over-hyped, arrogant and over-inflated league in the world, consistently shown up in European competition. 3 winners of the CL since 2005 and the same in the Europa league in fact in the EL they’ve had 4 winners since the turn of the century lol.

Willis 20,919 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I hope we get at least one more season from him, but many times in the past we've had our best players leave and I've usually said that ill wish them all the best and hope to see them back one day But its usually just something you say for a leaving player. But with Alfredo, if he leaves, I'll really mean it from the bottom of my heart If he eventually leaves I hope he goes on to be a fucking superstar and earn all the glories he deserves, I fucking love the guy, he's up their with my childhood heroes like Mccoist and Albertz, and I never thought I'd feel that way about another player, but Alfredo is already a legend in my eyes, and I hope to fuck he puts at least one past the tarriers this week. And the best thing about it is I could say the same thing about a good few of our players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,465 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Money talks as it will do with every player in our squad. Certain the board will want a player or two to be sold for massive profit this summer to make up for the financial gap made this season. The interesting point will be what price point Wilson and Gerrard will have on the players as we had seen last summer they are very rigid on what players values are. Alfie is a far more complete forward than last summer and has turned around his disciplinary problems for the most part. Can only see us wanting the same amount if not more this time around and with the distinct lack of goalscoring forwards down south I can see a few sharks already hovering around.

No point is selling guys on the cheap when we’re about to have the chance to showcase them at the top table in Europe, particularly as I’d expect the likes of Kamara and Morelos to thrive there. If it’s big money then fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money is limited to the elite clubs and needs them to spend for it to filter down. Not that I'm saying Morelos couldn't play for one of the big money clubs but you'd think it would be a mid to upper table side looking at him. No fans for a season and a half has put a huge strain on clubs transfer budgets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more reason to hold onto our top assets for another season, I’d rather keep them till at least after the champions league qualifiers, if we don’t qualify then we could always sell to balance the books.

BoydsFavouriteDonut 230 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Would rather he stayed for another year but I’m pretty sure he’ll be off. If we get through to the last 8 and he plays a stormer - especially if against an English side - it could do wonders for his valuation. If he’s going we need a bit of competition for him.
