I hear that Dominic Iorfa is free at the moment...[b said:Quote[/b] (loz @ Nov. 05 2006,16:45)]True, but if we sell him in January and then struggle to add to the squad (because we're looking quite unattractive having sold out star man) then relegation becomes a lot more likely.[b said:Quote[/b] (Beefy @ Nov. 05 2006,15:31)]If we wait until the summer and we get relegated I dread to think how far below his market value we'd end up having to sell for. Thats my primary concern.
Its clear that we need at least four quality signings in order to compete at this level. If Tilly thinks that he can get them in on wages that we can afford then I'm afraid that Freddy might have to be sacrificed in January.
Frankly, either way is a risk. it's a bugger being at the bottom of the table, huh? I'm constantly having to reassure myself with references to a few years back. The best one so far is 'at least we haven't just signed David Morley'.
As I said, if Tilly can identify the players he wants to bring in and can agree fees with the clubs then I'm not opposed to selling Eastwood to raise the transfer fees, even if I'm not convinced that we've got enough in the wage budget to bring in three or four decent players.
To be honest, I don't feel we can begrudge Eastwood a move should a decent side come in for him.
