Maybe straw clutching here, but surely Cooper would have been made aware at some stage about this possibility. And again I'd hope he'd have an idea or 2 on replacements.
Or is he just happy to have the job regardless? |  | |  |

Negotiations for £25m would end there as he'll struggle to reach double figures in the Premier League. Looked like little boy lost in the admittedly rare chances he got with us at that level, and despite reaching 20 goals in the Championship, did little to persuade me he's up to the step up. If I thought the £12m would be spent on the team I'd be all for it, but chances are it'll go down the same black hole as Dan James' fee. The only thing in it's favour is that an extra £12m would make the club more attractive to prospective buyers, so we can get rid of this shower of shite of a syndicate once and for all. |
I'm not convinced either but he's played 60 games at Championship level since looking lost for us in the PL. Only a handful of loan appearances down the divisions before that. |  | | |

I really don't understand how anyone can think selling our top goalscorer (22 in the league) would be a good idea.
There is no way selling McBurnie improves our chances next season and we would be left without a CF in the squad. (CBR is not good enough). | |

We looked good in games without him last season. But we had DJ then.
Finishing chances wasn't our strong point, but we were creative enough through the whole team after Christmas. Ideally we'd want a Sinclair-type to come in on the left and bulk up those numbers. Routledge was class leading the line, and we've got loads who want to play at 10 (Celina, McKay, Byers). |
Agree, we wouldn’t really need to replace him at #9 or #10. We’d definitely need to replace his goals though. As much as I rate Celina and Routledge, they aren’t goalscorers. | | | |

No pace and no strength. He won’t do well in the PL. if we get 15 for him I’m sure Coope already has a replacement in mind. We really need two, an older experienced head and a young pacy striker, maybe from abroad where we can get better value. |  |

£12m is a shocking price for a young proven goalscorer at this level.
Just please get in your head NO money will be reinvested into the squad due to the "black hole", we sell our best players in bulk every window, we will get relegated it's as simple as that.
Edit - The more I read your post the more I get confused, what in your head is telling you that we'd be "mad" to turn down £12m. Madness. [Post edited 21 Jun 2019 7:38]

Thing is, that's at least 30 million if he goes as well.
Is this a new thirty million or an old one, or is it the thirty million from 14 months ago.
How many thirty million debts have we got.Just three ? Or will there be more ? |  |

He’s no Bony or Llorente, but he’s strong enough. | | | |

His goals alone got us 15 points last year, the difference between finishing where we did and just above the relegation zone. Throw in the impact of Dan on games and if we lose Ollie as well we could be in a bit of trouble I wouldn't underestimate the difficulty of replacing those two players, especially if we won't buy proven quality.
Who knows as there are so many uncertainties with the management team changes, but if we're not careful this could be similar to the Siggy/Llorente episode. And we all know how that worked out. |  | | |

This. Trouble is people have been conditioned to think like accountants and not supporters these days.
We'd be fecking nuts to let McB go unless we really have to. |
I agree with you in principle but the fact is if a premier league club wants a championship club's player, they get him.
Edit. The thought of being left with CBR as main striker chills me to the bone. He'd struggle in League 2. [Post edited 21 Jun 2019 11:47]

Out of interest, what names do you think would fit the mould?
We've been lucky with some of the strikers we've picked up in the past and have plaued above what their level was. (Scotland, Graham etc.) A striker to hold the ball up wojld be a must imo if Ollie was to go. | |

Which is fine.
Replacing a 20 goal forward with someone who’s done pretty well at Bishops Stortford or wherever, isn’t. I’ll happily take that back if he goes and we bring a quality replacement in. | | | |

He showed glimpses of belonging in the Prem when he was given a chance. Assist for first goal at Watford etc. If I'm honest Id say 12m is slightly low. He can knock em in. Surely we have to accept no one who does well with us is going to stay with us.
By the way I'm on record here and now. We have no chance of getting promoted this season.
None.

So if we found a consisntent high scoring sriker in the Conference we wouldnt be interested?
Would we want to turn down another potential JAmie Vardy? | |

It’s fine for Routledge to lead the line if he’s got a 20 goal striker behind him. He’s never going to be our ‘main striker’, he doesn’t score enough goals. | | | |

How many ‘potential Jamie Vardys’ do you think turn into actual Jamie Vardys?
I’m not against signing players from that level. I wouldn’t be happy if it was to replace our only real goal threat. | | | |

The idea of selling to fill the 'black hole' is all very well, but if we go down again another black hole opens up, leading to another fire sale ad infinitum |  | | |

As he’s contracted, we can tell them to F off and McB will have to suck it up. Depends then how much he sulks...which is the problem with modern football.
He’s far more important to us than 12m (maybe a different story for the yanks). Unless someone comes in with a silly offer (20m+) then we simply have to keep him. |  |

And McB isn't the type of character to sulk. He'll keep playing to the best of his ability to convince somebody to make a sensible offer.
£12m is not a sensible offer and Oli will realise that | | | |

Dropping from the Championship toLeague 1 is no where near as expensive as from PL & the black hole existed due to trying to stay in the PL.
There will be no fire sale and once Ayew, Ayew and Borja are off the wages bill we will be losing at building ... sensibly. |  |
