The Pope has gone

[army88]

Pope, Tarkowski, Mee, the heart of the 10th best defence in the Premier League, gone for not much more than £10 million, that's incompetence on an epic scale. Some people will be rubbing their hands, but it won't be our bank manager.

I’m with it Sinkov but reality is Tarkowski was needed and with great dignity he stayed to
Try and help we could have cashed in but gambled not to ( Dyche also refused him leaving ) , Mee is at the end of his career he’s been gradually deteriorating in his performances and I think he’ll struggle a bit going forward - injuries and the like and his age is 32 so I’m not sure how much we could have commanded if we sold him. ( he’d have been good for us in the championship).

Pope if it’s true is a tragic piece of business but I guess unless West Ham - Forest - Fulham or others show genuine interest and offer a bid for him we’re forced into doing business at 10/12 million.

For me personally I believe that there will be more and more players not signing contracts and running them down - in fact most contracts won’t be worth paper there written on , player power is definitely going to be the future and the agent and player bag more money in the process.

I fully agree... and refusing players to leave when they ask to is not helping. We need to keep our best players on long contracts n the future.
