Selling Bartley to a rival for £4m is a shocking piece of business |
Do you reckon we'd be better off keeping him in the reserves and paying his wages? We clearly don't rate him. |  | |  |

We'd be better off keeping him until someone pays equal to, or preferably, above his market value. There's no shortage of suitors. |  | | |

Do you think his market value is significantly above £4m then? Based on what? | | | |

Until those suitors are willing to make a bid his "market value" is what West Brom have offered. Leeds have already backed away due to our asking price, and they love him. | | | |

Get rid. More reminiscent of a keystone cop than a PL footballer, or one seriously trying to get us back to that level. | |

£8m minimum. He's been a star perfomer in this league, and that is a very fair amount for a stand out Championship defender. Not to mention the selling of him to a rival should also carry a premium | | | |

Selling Bartley to a rival seems a bit nuts but IF it results in us being able to keep at least one of Mawson or Fede then it is a no brainer. He is not in their class. | | | |

Bartley never has his heart playing for us. Always second fiddle to better defensive players clearly pissed him off. Looking good in a poor Leeds side is no real measure of his ability. Need him moved on quickly unless FF and Mawson are off and he his shoe'd in at CB | | | |

Positive signing. A first team player that hopefully might make a positive difference.
Good luck Joel. |  | | |

I get the impression from what I’ve read, is that he’s a bit of a rough diamond, and if that’s right it will be interesting to see what Potter does with him. |  | | |

I know He is still young, but 3 from 29 games is not exactly awe inspiring.
Let's hope he can improve on that for us. | | | |

He made 26 appearances (11 starts) in a shocking Sunderland team that had been relegated, was gutted, and then got relegated again.
Before they dropped out of the Prem their u23s team was almost as good as ours is now. Is he really that much better than our best u23s that haven't had the same opportunity he had last year (or Dhanda, who was being talked up by Klopp not so long ago)?
Maybe. £2m is quite a lot of money for us for a raw young player in the last year of his contract at a League One side. | | | |

Oh well, at least you're not lumbering him with the burden of expectation  |  |

He's commented that he was used as a striker but he didn't think that was his position and he likes playing more as a winger where he can use his speed. |  |

I like it that he sees himself as a direct player, wanting to take defenders on and beat them. We've missed this for quite a long time | |

Hopefully more to his game than just pace, otherwise we might as well have kept Barrow | | | |

If we could get Montero sorted massive if.
Would have some real pace in the side. | |

Not forgetting Narsingh too. If we could play these as a three behind Bony we'd have a bit of menace about us. If we could just get a creative midfielder and ball winner we'll have a half decent side. Still a little short but getting there. | |

Suspect we may look like a little lightweight at times next season. Especially if Bony goes and until at least Fer gets back.
However, we will now have loads of pace and energy about us - up to Potter as to how he can get that to work. Im ok with the direction we seem to be taking tbh. Much better than the same tired old faces in the Championship who bring "experience". |  |

Well..I'm not convinced with Asoro whatsoever. But he'll play as a back-up no doubt. Still very young, with possible potential I guess. So who knows.
Now it's time to start signing starters. |  |

The reported fee for Bartley is 7 million...
I would absolutely take that. The problem is I can’t see who is going to replace him. And with Fede and Mawson reportedly one foot out the door the centre back situation is getting concerning. |  | | |

VDH Amat with one to come in.
Plus back up from the under 23s | |

I think Mawson is more likely to stay than Amat at this point. | | | |
