Yeah, I fear for this team without Field. Without him we would have been easily relegated last year. The issue is, if there is interest, and the offers are good, the model says this is the team to sell. I’m sure we have the option on his deal so it’s really 2 years left, but either way this is the time to sell when there is interest. Given the impact on the team - we have no other remotely competent central midfielder, let alone a defensive midfielder which this defence desperately needs - the offer needs to be significant for us to accept. I’d put that figure at £10m. Chair and Willock are more disposable to this side and the way we’re likely to play. | | | |

They'd snap anyone's hand off for £3m. | |

Why should he stay. He's way better than the dross that will be around him by the start of the forthcoming season. | | | |
Seny and Sam off next? on 11:03 - Jun 29 with 6272 views | Tonto | whether or not there is any truth in these rumours, we have to sell any sellable asset we have and hope and pray that their cheaper replacements somehow match up. its the reality of our situation. Cant turn down any decent offer for anyone. | |

I don’t think they would for Sam Field. The way Dobson and Ferdinand spoke about him at points last season, I don’t think they would. We’ll get relegated without him unless there is some budget from his sales to allocate to strengthening the squad with several players. Even then, I think we’ll probably get relegated without some spectacular recruitment. | | | |

I reckon they have so you won't be seeing them re-sign Lumley. Dieng however is an entirely different footballer. | |

I think we're going down this season whatever happens, but it doesn't matter how highly me, you, Dobbo or Gaz think of Field, there's no way the club will pass up an offer of £3m or above imo. Represents a big profit, and is exactly what everyone is saying we should be doing. Much easier (and cheaper) to buy a CDM than a creator or scorer. | |

All makes Dykes extension that bit odder… he is in the papers and press after scoring for Scotland , So interest from other clubs at a high and instead signs an extension for a club where the best players around him will be flogged… does not add up Or maybe modern football has got me cynical and he actually just loves the club and is willing to stick it out. | | | |

Well the Hibs lad going to Millwall when he’s turned them down in January is a bit of a weird curveball there. And the promise they made Eze was if he signed an extension they would not stand in his way of a move, just don’t do a Bright/Manning/Willock basically and earn a bit more dough in the meantime. Palace wasn’t the best bid on the table in the end but it was the one Eze wanted, he’d done right by us so we went with it and negotiated some chunky add ons. I wonder whether Dykes, with the short term Millwall fox gone, has been promised a similar thing. | | | |
Seny and Sam off next? on 22:50 - Jun 29 with 4669 views | daveB | I hope Field stays but he's not irreplaceable. The Wycombe fella Wing we are linked with is a similar type of player, we seem keen on Scowen as well. | | | |

Covers a lot of defensive ground, but he can’t trap a football and for all those who hated us playing negative across the back football (they’re mostly the big field fans) check who plays it back more than anybody. What I will give him, and why I kinda like him, he knows his limitations, but would also like to see him be braver on the ball | | | |

Lose Chair and Willock, and we're done with creativity. Lose Field, and there goes our shield. I think if we sell one of them, plus Seny, we'll be relegated, and will deserve to be. Mind you, we might offset our losses by a few quid, so, great, let's be grateful for that if it happens. In 2024/25, we could sell Smyth to Palace for 5m, and gratefully sink to League Two. I suspect Les has left the building a la Gerry the 2nd time around in order to dissociate himself in advance, as he knows (or has been told) the writing's on the wall, and it ain't pretty. It gets to the point that, when you try to talk about the whole idea of being a football supporter being about excitement and dreams, the 'pragmatic' part of the fanbase looks at you askance as if you're some kind of weird nostalgia freak - but it's good to know what side you're on. Meanwhile, for those of us who aren't fans because we're wedded to/apologists for a business model and downwardly managed expectations, I salute you. [Post edited 30 Jun 2023 0:52]

Seny and Sam off next? on 07:12 - Jun 30 with 4288 views | Wilkinswatercarrier | Wouldn't be surprised if they both go, and £3m for s free transfer signing is a good bit of business. Highlights how the DoF role at club has not been implemented correctly as well. If you sell an asset a ready made replacement is either at the club already or will be signed using the profit from the sale. Yet we have no replacements and we have no money. | | | |

Didn’t we only get £3m for Smithies, so I’d doubt we’d get any more than £3m for Dieng. | | | |

Just hope one of the major Dykes add-on's isn't him being capped by England. | | | |

I wouldn't be surprised if it was another Dickie transfer fee. £750k plus add ons. I can't see a championship club spending £3m on a keeper who is out of contract in a year. Then do we stick with Archer and Walsh or find a new keeper?? [Post edited 30 Jun 2023 8:07]

I'd be alarmed if Archer was the no 1 keeper this season. If Dieng goes we definitely need a replacement. | | | |
