So god forbid yann gets injured then as some of you are saying it like we are a 1 man team which we are not
Yann is important to how we play now and has been a great player for us no doubt
But there is a big part of me slightly resentful that his feelings towards scp outweigh the feelings to the badge and ourselves as fans
In all honesty I want him to sign and I will be pissed if he goes to bournemouth but if he goes it is not as big a loss that some of you are making out
Wonderful player atimes unplayable can be a beast who runs through several brick walls in a game but Legend no way not yet
If Ngoo comes in then surely Yann will leave. Liverpool won't want him coming here to bench warm and I really cannot see him playing along side Yann.
Why would we sell Yann to play a 21 year old who has only played 21 league games and hardly featured for Yeovil?
Why would you play Yann alongside a 6 ft 6 monster? The team with two target men. I'd much rather keep Yann, I'm looking at it from a logical point of view.

Icon yes legend no
In the summer id agree with you. 21 games to go and in the bottom 3 i don't.
But what if he was out for most those games vg is it all over then
By friday we will know and tbh I wouldn't be surprised to see yann church and 2 or 3 other strikers be here then
Yann is important to our play today but who knows by next week
My point is not he can go its the over playing and use of the term legend and this one man team business
Its not over no, but our chances would be heavily damaged. Same as if Ronaldo got injured at Madrid, Jordan Rhodes left Blackburn or Welling sold Joe Healy.
By no means are we a one man side but he is extremely influential and important in the eyes of the manager, the players and the fans.
If Yann goes it's because he wants to go and for no other reason. I don't think we're in a situation where we have to sell
Him wanting to go is a situation that we shouldn't be in. The fact that we may be in that situation is the fault of a number of things which were in the previous owners control, but they ignored. I hope things can be resolved and Kermorgant gets the 2 year contract he deserves, but there is certainly concern that he could be going.
We have the option of a further year that is true how the clause is triggered I don't know
That was definitely the case previously, but if was still in there it would have been triggered by now. Can only speculate that they agreed to remove it.
I have to agree with nla here. I'm not saying Yann isn't an important player but 400k is good business for a player almost out of contract and who for all we know has said he wants to go.
If we used that 400k to pay the wages and loan fees for a couple of decent loan signings (for example Simeon Jackson and Chris Wood) and also got the iranian in then would anyone really claim we'd be as good as relegated.
I can totally see why people wouldn't want him sold (and to be honest i don't either) but just trying to look at it from another point of view.

I was under the impression the trigger was that after x games, we'd be obliged to OFFER a new (and presumably improved) contract, not extend the old one automatically (so he would only be out of contract in summer by his own volition instead of being cut loose like Haynes and Fuller.) So this could well have happened but he won't sign up til CP's own contractual status is cleared up.
Yann is a HUGE part of the camaraderie at this club. Camaraderie that we will most definitely need in the coming months if we want any chance of staying in this league. For me it's a no brainer. The man needs to stay!
If Yann doesn't start tonight I reckon it's time to worry. Until that point, I'm assuming this is never going to happen and will pretend everything is going to be ok.
Without wishing to sound like a missives fan, I thought we were a far larger club than Bournemouth, why the hell should they worry us and seek our players?
Of course clubs are going to be interested in our best players when they are out of contract we can't help speculation but I expect Powell, Yann and Wiggins to sign new deals.
Without wishing to sound like a missives fan, I thought we were a far larger club than Bournemouth, why the hell should they worry us and seek our players?
They have a very rich owner and we have players out of contract very soon. Doesn't matter who is the bigger club if they are offering a new deal and we're not.
Yann has not been 'happy' from what I have seen and heard all season, and I think it has shown in some games. I'm sure he is not the only player that fits into this category.
The club was governed for the bulk of this season with a huge cloud of uncertainty over it. Change has now occurred, later than hoped, but that uncertainty seems to have continued.
I hope and expect this all to positively resolve itself, however I think we are starting to get glimpses of the impact of some of the behind the scenes uncertainty of the last 10 months.
Hopefully the fact that you simply don't sell your best players if you are in a relegation battle will win the day.

They have a bit of money though don't they. Their Russian owner has spent a few quid this season, didn't they spend over 2m on a striker in the summer?

This thread was about signing new strikers and now its about selling our only decent one.
Come on Roland, lets get this sorted.

Selling him to a rival weakens us AND strengthens a close rival
He is important vg I agree and losing him today or before players came in would be deverstating
But if goochi woods and jackson ngog appear by friday not really is it a big problem
If we used that 400k to pay the wages and loan fees for a couple of decent loan signings (for example Simeon Jackson and Chris Wood) and also got the iranian in then would anyone really claim we'd be as good as relegated.
