  • Good luck to him, would not blame any player for wanting out of the club under the current ownership.

    As a fan though I am gutted, one of my favourite players.
  • I can't help thinking we are going to get half a dozen or more L1 or L2 punts. Could Roly give us a few foreigners in the mix that might turn out to be a Tex, Kashi, Bauer or Igor?
  • Him leaving can only weaken our team. Don't blame him though for leaving this basket case of a club!

    Sad reality is that it's a career progression for him. Next season Brighton will be challanging for promotion into the Premiership. What can we offer him ? Ever present in a team in the third tier. It's a no brainer. The additional money will help.

    Leaving aside the RD/KM issues, we're a 3rd division club. It would be surprising if someone young and ambitious would stay, even with normal owners and Curbs/Powell as manager.

    Agreed. It's always been the same. A club from a higher division comes in and the player gets a signing on fee plus a hike in wages to make the move. In Cousins' case, Charlton will presumably get some sort of fee because he's under a fairly long contract.

    It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at Brighton (assuming he goes there). I like him and he's been an important player for us but I've never been totally convinced. Maybe a move will help him to blossom.

    Few fans on there mentioning getting Ince or someone in exchange. Would be a decent deal for us if that's the case.

    Tricky for Pope. He's started to establish himself and would be no 1 next season, compared to earning a few extra quid and sitting on the Turf Moor bench watching Premier League games.
    He might not have a say in it of course, if Roland decides he wants the cash to upgrade his satellite link up to The Valley.

    That's the thing, I'd be more scared of a bid from a Championship team that want him as a starter.

    Would really like to see us keep hold of Pope if we can, even at the expense of Hendo and Dmitrovic - and probably would prioritize keeping him above Watt, Cousins etc., although Watt would be electric in League 1.

    I get the feeling Cousins has had enough, but that's completely unsubstantiated.
    I don't think a move to somewhere like Burnley would be good for Pope right now.He took a long while to find his feet in our first team and has still only had a dozen or so good games as first choice keeper. The bets thing for him right now, imo, would be to continue on with us building his confidence and experience in an environment where he is settled and confident.

    He could well go on to play at Premier League level, but we've seen his confidence can be fragile and he's at a key stage in his career - one false step now and it could set him back significantly.

    He's a good keeper though and one I'd prefer to keep, but there are lots of good keepers out there sitting on benches or not even making the bench at some premier league clubs and we have 2 or 3 decent ones already in our squad too. Even through these post-premier leaguer wilderness years, we've pretty much always had a decent keeper or two. Quality outfield players, particularly strikers, are always much harder to find and a fit and fired up Tony Watt would be much more of an assest next year.

    Personally, I think that the best thing for Pope's development would probably be sign for Burnley and go out on loan to a Championship team for next season (or part thereof).

    If I was a family member or agent, that would be my view - especially as I'd be very surprised if Heaton was still at Turf Moor in twelve months.

    Cull wrong word , there will be a number of players leaving mainly because of the wage structure now in operation in league one plus you need to freshen things up it there will be a number coming in , Slade wants a squad around 22/25 with some of the best young players o clouded in that .....
    There a few on big wages Vetokele and Gudmunsson alone will most likey save you appox 35k per week ...Cousins as well just selling them 3 should clear the loses from relegation

    35k pw? What planet are you on? 17.5k pw each? You really are barking.
    Gudmunnson is on prem wages thats common knowledge 20plus Vetokele was our highest earner before on around 16k
    There is no way Gudmundsson is on £20k plus a week, utter nonsense.

    Poor move for cousins , Brighton had a good season but will they do it again ??
    Think AV of QPR would be by far a better move the problem is with Cousins all his work rate etc is let down by his goal ratio and passing

    POTY last two seasons you moron.

    I know it's easy to lay into Colin but I think he has a point here, POTY or not.
  • To be fair, given our last 2 seasons, being our POTY doesn't automatically make you great!

    Exactly! To be fair, Colin's points in the context of a step up to Brighton, QPR and/or Villa are fair tbh. Cousins would have been an asset for us in league 1, but his flaws may hold him back as he moves up a level in terms of club.

    Yet a team who finished 3rd in the league we're relegated from want him.

    Let's see how he does in a better side and with better players.

    And remind me how old he is?

    Are some people literally LOL'ing every post Colin makes, regardless of what it says?

    Bit unnecessary.

    Why the fuck have I been flagged for this?

    I am firmly in the Cousins fan club and think the way we played and asked him to play made him look one dimensional. He hasaid hit many a great cross field ball in the past and if allowed more freedom he would score more goals. His desire and work rate will mean that all managers will deploy him to destroy rather than create.

    In my opinion Jordan's game has been stifled in that he has had to play a more defensive role than that to which he is better suited. Brighton would be an excellent move for him. They are bound to strengthen all areas of their team and will be one of the favourites to go up. QPR have a lot to do to even get near the play offs and Villa have a massive task in front of them and it will probably take them a couple of seasons to be challengers. Unless a PL side wanted him then there are not many better moves than Brighton. Added bonus is he won't have to move home either unless he wants to. Good luck Jordan, if you go you deserve our thanks.

    Is 93 the number of goals they expect to concede next season with him in defence?

    Not if it's a loan deal & we're paying his wages. Yet another player that we've paid dosh for who plays for someone else.

    Yeah ift that's a permanent seat for Sarr, I'm available to drive him right now and pretty much any time (barring unexpected funerals from close family), no worries Naby.

    No club in their right mind is going to pay a transfer fee for Naby Sarr. Cut our losses and get him out.

    Look its quite clear that Naby Sarr is too good to play in League One...

    So for the next 12-months he's going to go on loan to a French team in their 2nd Tier (so the same level and same quality as the Championship), once we're promoted back to the Championship at the end of the season he can then rejoin us and will be once again be playing at his initial level... League One Football is only going to hinder his development and I wish people on here could see that and stop putting the boy down!!
