GlossopLatic Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 35 minutes ago, Lags said: How much and to what cost will the commonly thought surplus players we need to shift out hamper the promotion push?. I think it will cost 2 or 3 stand out players not arriving. DU must play the loan market wisely. I don't think we can or for that matter should pay then off in full that's going to be a 6 figure sum I think we should try, and we probably will, find them a club either through a loan or permanent and possibly aim to meet any shortfall in wages. Or just keep them about until they find a new club. The squad right now probably only needs a really good right back and it's good to go to challenge for promotion so I don't think we should get too hung up on the surplus players.

Not sure why anyone gets hung up about the players who clearly aren't going to feature. They're entitled to stay and we may be able to offload them but either way it's going to cost and there's not much we can do about it. It's the last remaining legacy of the previous regime. With players such as Windass the prospect of him finding a full time professional club when we're the only one he's ever been with and he didn't get close to the first team must be close to zero - maybe we can find him a job as a labourer and make up the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemel latic Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Rooney, Leutwiler, Burgess and Windass could have all moved on by the end of the week, with Leutweiler on the verge of a move to Port Vale. Any potential misgivings about Rooney aside that would be really good business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0ndl1ne Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Rooney will be gone if his agent plays ball. If he doesn’t it’s because his agent will have scuppered the deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loan deal is most likely because of the wages he’ll be on of which we will probably be paying a percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Something not right about a player of his age and ability who's never stayed anywhere for more than a couple of years Edited June 28, 2023 by Dave_Og Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got hooked at half time a few games before the season. Was moaning when being subbed ect. To be fair to him, he did a relatively good job on the left wing, and seemed to work hard for the type of player he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not released from his contract. Probably greed. Gets a full pay out from us (or somewhere in that ball figure) and then goes and earns a new wage at a new club, in theory possibly earning double for the next year. Obviously those numbers won’t be concrete as I presume Macc wouldn’t offer wages we can, but they’re still a club with money and he’d be on good money there too. I’m sure we’re also not playing ball with this either, which is maybe where the delay is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing (as I’ve no idea) that Macc want to sign him but can’t afford what we pay him, we want him gone, so he wants a pay off to make up the shortfall. A loan looks the way round it, but nothing is agreed hence no announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
