      - Was a big ask for Max to be Max (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 16:07:32

        Good point that tbf. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Sep 29, 17:09:43
        
        I just think that when you look at all 5 you can argue that we can manage without them but (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 16:09:55
        
        Yeah I don't disagree mate. Clearly the plan wasn't to sell your 5 young lads this summer (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 19:37:57
    - He would bloomin well have to be (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Sep 29, 16:00:15
      - Bali Mumba the NEW Wonderkid: (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 18:08:02
        
        Against Northern Premier league opposition... (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Sep 29, 19:50:22
        
        Sounds like the kind of player we buy and could develop then sell for big bucks! (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 23:35:07
  - Or how about we just grow some balls and don;t sell them all. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 15:38:25
    - We can do so much more with the funds Jim. Think how many seasons that buys us to get back (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:45:14
    - because if they want out there's not a great deal you can do in reality (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Sep 29, 15:44:49
      - What then is the point of all this. Its just pointless. We get promoted then (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 16:05:02
        
        You know the answer to that. We have to go up and stay up (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Sep 29, 16:13:52
        
        I'm not surprised but I dond; think they would have the brass neck to sell all 5 but now (NCFC) - Jim, Sep 29, 16:34:57
        
        even if we do sell all 5 (well 4 now + Jamal) we can reinvest in new bargains (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 18:12:37
        
        I agree, but I doubt we'll sell all of them (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Sep 29, 17:01:40
  - Using the Football Manager mentality I would let them all go for the right money (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Sep 29, 15:25:53
    - Pass lack back in favour at Dortmund isn't he? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:30:48
      - What about Ben Marshall? (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:45:48
      - I think you're right but if he was first choice here....he may come. (n/m) (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Sep 29, 15:35:33
  - Replacements are mostly in... Only one I see needing something buying is Emi v2.0 (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:16:29
    - we'll do well to find another Emi - personally I think he's virtually irreplaceable (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Sep 29, 15:48:16
  - He needs to be focused if he is to stay... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 15:15:03
- Thats fine, Everton really look to be going places. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 14:54:39
  - no way will it be 30mill nearer 20 with some add ons (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 15:02:03
    - I was thinking more about building a CB partnership, it takes time playing together (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 15:06:19
      - Ahhhh. Well yeah I get that, but equally Hanley and Gibson are seen as match fit. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:07:55
        
        NOT seen as match fit it mean (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:08:23
    - Maybe because he's been a proper pro about it! (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:02:49
      - Ben Max and Jamal - can’t fault them. Todd and semi clearly have twatty agents (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:40:29
        
        Emi not semi (oops) (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:40:40
  - Fulham on the other hand would be a dumb move (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 14:56:39
- At least we have a replacement for him. We have zero play (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Sep 29, 14:09:31
  - in the medium term, stronger without him poss (NCFC) - paulg, Sep 29, 14:53:29
    - Gibbo and Zimbo/Hanley or all 3 would be good (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:38:03
    - Totally, but I think it will also need Sorensen to fit in (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 15:18:26
  - Playmakers if Emi or Todd left (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Sep 29, 14:10:08
    - In what way is Toddy 2 Assists a "playmaker"? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 14:53:25
      - Ok, someone to replace Toddy 6 goals (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Sep 29, 14:56:10
        
        He only got 1 in the Champs (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 14:58:03
        
        He’s obviously a premier league player then. Still needs replacing (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Sep 29, 14:59:44
        
        Oh, don't forget Josh Martin coming fit again (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:11:06
        
        Looks promising (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:42:14
        
        Think we'll make do in Todd's case. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:02:20
        
        I though Idah looked a real handful against Preston (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 29, 15:23:29
        
        Yep. I really think we'll make do... Onel, Stiepi, Placheta, Vrancic, Martin, Idah, Dowell (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 15:34:36
        
        Emi needs replacing I think we have enough cover for Todd (n/m) (NCFC) - essexcanaryOTBC, Sep 29, 15:42:53
    - Who would you say we should be looking at? (NCFC) - Jester, Sep 29, 14:37:22
      - I wouldn’t mind Pritchard coming back. Not too many number 10’s around that are available (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Sep 29, 14:49:35
        
        Pretty certain that's a complete non-starter (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Sep 29, 14:58:55
    - Vrancic (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 29, 14:34:38
      - yes, that - and we have stiepi too (NCFC) - paulg, Sep 29, 14:52:04
        
        We will be mid table at best if Cantwell and Buendia are sold and not replaced (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Sep 29, 14:57:42
        
        Nowhere near good enough to get us promoted if emi leaves (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 14:56:27
        
        Vrancic was BRILLIANT in our promotion season (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Sep 29, 15:05:32
        
        But only started 14 games ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 16:25:06
        
        Imagine how many goals and assists Vrancic would have got over a full season (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 29, 17:18:10
    - Yep guess it might free up funds to replace ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 14:13:38
- Wonder if news of this had had an impact on Todd/Emi (NCFC) - Azteca, Sep 29, 14:03:26
  - Don’t envy Webber difficult two weeks ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 14:09:12
- york would be pleased. they have 15% sell on (NCFC) - pab, Sep 29, 13:43:10
  - Think it's 10% (n/m) (NCFC) - Lentil Weaver, Sep 29, 13:45:02
    - Potentially club saving for them. Godfrey has been a model pro ... (NCFC) - loz, Sep 29, 13:47:41
