It’s quite clear this morning that Kompany wants Obafemi on the cheap, and also he knows the swans will sell Obafemi. It’s not as if he has been told it’s a no go. 0 Obafemi in the middle, click above.

Pay Martin off, play OkoFlex in place of Obafemi and bring Drameh in permanently for £1m. We would be in a better position all round |  | |  |

Can’t see us taking five or six, maybe seven or eight though. |  |

I think you're being optimistic there. If they drag it out close enough to the deadline we'll take £4m and a bag of training balls. |  | |  |

Rather cynical, considering the fees we have got for departing players |  |

Just say Southampton have a sell on (Keith believes there is) and say its 25%. Of that £4M we would net less than £3M after fees. It's just not worth it, It would have to be at least £8M to make it worthwhile. |  | |  |

I appreciate what’s being said regards to him and Piroe valuations. But these guys could be the difference between relegation and staying in the Championship. How much would the difference in finance be if we got relegated? |  | |  |
| Michael Obafemi latest : Clubs will not hold me to ransom ! on 11:15 - Aug 31 with 1781 views | Sirjohnalot | I f wonder if his struggles to settle at previous clubs and the way he is playing here and seemingly happy, will have a bearing on his wanting to stay ? |  | |  |
| Michael Obafemi latest : Clubs will not hold me to ransom ! on 11:42 - Aug 31 with 1708 views | Catullus | I'm sure I said this elsewhere, right now I would rather keep Obafemi, sell Piroe (even if it's considered onthe cheap) and bring Jospeh back from his loan and put him straight on the bench. Question, we have Piroe, Obafemi, Cullen, if we ell Oba AND Piroe at this stage, what do we do? We cannot seriously be thinking about Cullen as our only choice. Do we have anybody lined up because it's getting late in the day. Re-calling Jopseh and/or Whittaker may be our only option. Even if we only sell one, if we can't or don't bring anyone in then what if whoever is still here gets injured? There is the hope that cards are very close to chests and we have a grand plan but I don't exactly have any faith in that notion. |  |

Sell one and get Ogbene in and I wouldn't be too disappointed. |  | |  |

The TV money is the biggest change, club loses £4-5m a year. Otherwise it's about maintaining crowds and matchday income. Well-supported clubs end up having a big competitive advantage. Might go from being a £15m a year club to an £8-10m a year club. |  | |  |

If we sell both Piroe and Obafemi i can see there being a load of Yanks out chanting at the QPR game. |  |

What about chucking Connor Robetts in as a makeweight and them paying the difference in wages sounds reasonable. |  |

Joseph is league 1 standard, if he started every game for us i doubt very much he'd make double figures |  | |  |

Can’t see Roberts agreeing to that. Getting rid of him when we needed a fast defender who gets forward was incredibly short sighted. |  |

Joseph is League 1 you say, where do you rate Cullen? Personally I think Joseph is far more likely to give us a decent return than Cullen. |  |

Oh I don't know if on same money we are in the same league at the moment. Yes no idea why we sold him so cheap and was on a long contract. That's why Burnley think they can mug us again done it with Jack Cork Connor and now trying it with Obefami [Post edited 31 Aug 2022 18:43]

He went straight down the tunnel after the game last night, and had to be called back to applaud the crowd. 1+1=8 |  |

Both Joseph and Whittaker looked like they were streets ahead of Cullen. It's a shame for a local lad but there's just nowhere near enough about him. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Yes I agree don't think any of them are good enough though Garrick as well. Russ getting plenty wrong but the 4 of them are not good enough yet gping on what they have done at a lower level. [Post edited 31 Aug 2022 19:11]

I thought Roberts had 12 months left on his deal which was part of the reason we took the offer? |  |
