RE: ' Transfer Speculation Thread ' - Wimborne Baggie - 08-10-2025
really , those wanting mowatt to leave need to start watching a few games

Well if that happens { I can’t see it } it’s come out of nowhere.
RE: ' Transfer Speculation Thread ' - Lurker#3 - 08-10-2025
For those who think it would be easy to replace Mowatt... We would only need to find a midfielder who, last season, was in the;
- Top 9% of midfield goal scorers (FROM HOLDING MIDFIELD)
- Top 7% of progressive passers
- Top 4% for passes into the final 1/3
- Top 7% for passes completed
- Top 18% for tackles won in attacking 1/3
- Top 4% for both carries and progressive carries
- Top 10% for aerial duels won
- Top 24% for shot creating actions (FROM HOLDING MIDFIELD)
I think a few need to appreciate what he offers a little more.

I don’t think people necessarily want him gone, they’re just saying with a year left on his deal it may be time to cash in if a suitable offer is received. He’ll be 31 next summer and at the moment may fetch £2m

However, he is 31 (?), has a year left, decent earner I imagine and we are trying to get the average age down. We also have Diakite, who whilst very different, offers a lot.
RE: ' Transfer Speculation Thread ' - Wimborne Baggie - 08-10-2025
we also are looking to achieve something this year are we not ?
RE: ' Transfer Speculation Thread ' - Remi_Moses - 08-11-2025
Mowatt is extremely underrated. He is by far our best MF player.
To lose him would be a body blow, with better players around him he would get a little more freedom and would show he real potential value. Let's hang on to our better players..
RE: ' Transfer Speculation Thread ' - Johnnykayeengland - 08-11-2025
I'm with Remi. I hate us having to think like a selling club (I know.. it's the financial reality), but I want to keep our better players, and especially those few like Fellows who've come through the ranks.
Football fans need heroes, not a good bank balance.
I don't look back on the two great teams I've watched and think..."that was great. We made a profit".
I think "That was great. I saw Astle, Brown, Clark, Cunningham, Regis, Robson....a very good article on the Liquidator saying this, but better.
I'll try to post a link.

It could all be pure speculation anyway, with no real substance. I think we have to trust the overall process when it comes to transfer policy though. If, and probably a big if, we can sell Mowatt on, and then find a younger, better version, then it's clearly good business.
Remember it's what Sunderland did or the last 3 or so years, and now they're giving it a real go in the Prem, having improved year on year on the back of their transfer dealings.

It's the sad reality, but I fully agree with you. I never watched Bomber thinking joyfully of the profit we'd make when we sold him and the Robson/Moses money did us little good anyway.
