Josh Windass!
- Thread starter baldy
- Start date
Well after reading that article and Kal Naismith singing his praises....If we are to lose Josh in the none too distant....I'd sooner we sell to a club like Rangers (or one of similar stature ) for a decent fee ( £500k+) with a load of healthy sell on clauses attached....than let him go to a club of Arsenal's size.....
He wouldn't get into Arsenal's first team squad ( at the moment!! ).....and it would make more sense for the lad's career progression and our financial position..... if he went to a club...... where he could carry on progressing. Should he continue to improve and reach the heights many think he's capable of.....maybe he'd earn us an "in-direct" bumper payday from a future move to a bigger club after he's proved himself at a club like Rangers..(a.l.a. Brett Ormerod & the Blackpool move)

Phew, for a second I thought he may have spent summer working at Heinz.
There was a report this morning (scottish herald i think) where they seemed to think they could have Windass AND Crooks for 500k. AND due to us no longer being in for a 3rd round windfall we are ready to deal
My opinion rob is thats the usual Press Bullshine.
I agree with Cashy on this (someone must have slipped something into my morning cup of tea!).
For me I question "will selling make a difference to our chances of continuing with a good season?".
Personally I reckon if we got a half decent sum for Josh, sell him. I believe we have players who could fill his position and we wouldn't suffer, or even bring in someone to add competition for that place.
I think if we managed that, we take a punt on keeping Crooks. He'd be too big a miss, and our season would go t!ts-up without him pulling the strings. Unless we got an astronomical fee for him I'd say refuse to sell, offer him a bumper deal in the latter part of the season, and hope it helps the compo claim in the summer.
I don't think we'll get anywhere near the fee touted around in the press for either of them, although Crooksy would certainly deserve it.
All just my opinion of course. On Stanley on.

Please dont quote Matt as sensible Joe, he'll be naked next week 
A millionish for either would constitue silly money and its bye-bye. But 500k? Correct Cashy, its bullshine. Prmotion would be worth 500k so its a no brainer, refuse to sell and hold out for Bosmanian compo

I think I,m right in saying player,s under 24 in the last 6 month,s of their contracts can be approached without permission of the parent club agree a deal on a contract and walk away when the contract finishes for nothing and the fee goes to a tribunal. If more than 1 club is interested in Matt and Josh this could work in Accy,s favour as one club might make a money bid in January that the club can,t turn down either way the player,s seem to have all the ace,s.
any info on who he wants them to steal from DAV
Plenty to choose from, I hear.Not sure who this Neil Redfearn at Barnsley is. The only one I know is manager at Rotherham.
Lost, if you know him well, tell him to b****r off.
That's a relief. I was worried it was an Alice Band injury which, for Josh, would have been career threatening.
