Yeah, I think so and justifiably so imo given the financials from last year. Appere has been superb and well exceeded expectations, and unlike Banks, committed to United allowing for us to talk numbers like these. If he goes for anything like 2.5 mil it will be the best bit of business we have done since Robertson and Gauld, and let's get a tasty sell on clause in there as well. We can absorb losing Appere in January. As long as we don't sell Shankland we'll be fine. Eta. Whoever buys Appere should get 100k off the asking price if they take King as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair one, but if he does go, it won't be for peanuts. Personally, I don't want any of the mainstay players to leave until at least the summer. If it ain't broke, don't fix it and all that. Also, the likes of Shankland and Appere have decent time left on contracts even from the summer. No need to take any risks when we could get just as good if not better fees then.

Not that I’m suggesting that Appere is as talented as Messi! That is better names in their proper order. Ranking down Messi, utter sacrilege . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arab_joe Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 On 06/12/2019 at 01:54, Dele said: That was Ali Coote. I Googled Ali Coote yesterday to discover that he is coming up for 22 years old and hasn't played a minute of first-team football since he last played for United on 12 May 2017. Whilst playing for and captaining Brentford's B team is great, I think it is a huge step-up from that to League football either side of the border and it will be very interesting to see what becomes of him. I hope that Louis Appere (see below) is mindful of that - it infuriates me how many young players throw away potential by going to England before they should...

It still makes me cringe that DUFC fans were genuinely suggesting that the manager should be sacked with us sat at the top of the league. Truly embarrassing.

For what little it is worth, he is a good player with a great work ethic - I would wish him well if he was to leave! 10 hours ago, Mark Connolly said: We’re going to sell Shankland and Appere on deadline day and f**k the whole thing, aren’t we?

ArabianKnight Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Tbf if Declan Glass is coming back and we sell Appere we've got another highly rated youngster there to fill his position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartyftd1 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Regarding Appere we may as well keep him until the summer. Interest won’t wane in that time if he keeps up this level of performance. Value won’t drop either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Where do we need to strengthen in January? I would be happy with a back up right back so we don't have the horror of watching Watson playing there if Smith is injured or suspended. Maybe a left back too to challenge Robson. Sporle doesn't look capable defensively. Edited December 18, 2019 by Szamo's_Ammo -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pre-contracts and targets for next season then become the priority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabianKnight Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Yeah we need another left back, Sporle isn't a defender although I reckon he's going to be a cracking left winger who's got defensive attributes. Agreed about Wardrop hopefully his injury woes are behind him and he does alright in training and can continue his development. Punt Sow, Pawlett and possibly King (I've noticed he's been used at the end of games recently how has he done in his cameos?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your question at the end, it's being very generous to King to say that he has been completely anonymous during any spell he has had on the pitch. I repeat. Very generous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
