Not really, you just wait

We received unsatisfactory offers for Fer and Snoddy, so we waited and they came back with more (at least in Snoddy's case). I can't fathom why we'd accept such a low bid from one of our main competitors with two weeks of the transfer window to go. Indeed, I would argue that we should have kept him regardless, but the manager was determined to sell him, why not hold out for more? Plus you can't assume Cardiff were the only interested party just because they have bought him. I remember there were rumours that Swansea were keen in the summer.

        Sort of agree with you, although your logic implies it's impossible to sell a player too (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 13, 16:00:38

  - can anyone actually remember the last time he had a good game? (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:16:11
    - Yep, too inconsistent and prone to injury, we should (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 13, 15:21:52
      - n't have sold him to Cardiff though, if we are serious about challenging for promotion. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 13, 15:23:30
        
        he is inconsistent, but no more so than, for example, Hoolahan, Surman or Redmond (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 13, 15:27:33
        
        So you're saying he was shit then? seriously,we have 2 young wingers who will only improve (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Aug 13, 16:24:43

        I wouldn't be too bothered if they went either (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:31:28
        
        well if he's inconsistent and injury prone he probably won't help them much (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 13, 15:25:15
        
        if he is inconsistent and injury prone then we should have sold him to Cardiff, I think or (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 13, 15:25:09
    - can't really remember the last time any of our players had a good game (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Aug 13, 15:17:08
