Posted about this a week ago and position hasn’t changed. Why would you even consider selling the league’s top striker who is a local lad and is settled? It simply doesn’t make sense, regardless of the championship manager ‘yeah but we can buy 18 players with the money we get.’
They have money (allegedly) so spend it on Ahadme, and keep our player of the year. Shouldn't even be a debate about this tbh.
Are we actually close to signing Ahadme? Or is this the usual nonsense where x owner says they put in a bid but couldn't get it over the line?
Wouldn't put it past them at all to sell May, spend on Godden and use the rest to balance the books for the players we have already signed.
Minted owners my arse, until I see them actually put the money down like Sandgaard did, it's all talk. No top club in this league would sell their star striker to a rival, we are the only club that would try this shit, and our hopeful fans lap it up.
There seems to be a lot of talk about Ahadme, how many people have actually seen much of him ? I have to say I don't recall seeing him myself, he has an ok record last year but nothing really before then & Burton supporters are less than complimentary. Why is everyone so keen ?
Burton supporters saw him as a 19-21 year old to be fair. I haven't seen too much of him but he was clearly the stand out player in our home game against Cambridge last season. He was strong, held up the ball well and scored a couple of good goals. Didn't do as much in the second game. The Cambridge fans rate him.
We all want May to stay but there is no denying that the players that have been signed in January and so far this month have and will improve us. Long way to go but combined with the infrastructure and the appointing of a real manager, you can't say that the owners aren't trying.
Not saying the owners aren't trying though I would like to know why we're apparently trying to get rid of the leading goalscorer in the division but thanks for the input. As I said I don't recall seeing him (I probably missed the Cambridge game) & with a sketchy record I just wondered why so many seemed keen on signing him. 👍

What?
Fat lot of good that did eh? And where did he spend all that money, certainly not on a recruitment team, or backroom staff, or the pitch, or on the club shop, or on decent players...
Decent players?
Yeah, give me a list of decent players we signed under Sandgaard. I reckon it's pretty bloody short. Supposedly he spent loads of money but it got him absolutely nowhere

All but confirmed on tonight's talk that the new lot weren't involved when May was signed wasn't it?
I have no inside knowledge but a religious signing? If it is genuine and who I think it is I suggest it is unlikely to receive universal acclaim - shall we say more Poundland than Waitrose. Experienced at this level the player I have in mind has many of the traits Jones seeks in the position, has certainly had his moments in the sun but also periods of challenge. There are aspects to his game I really like but could be a bit of a marmite signing.
A player who may be prepared to drop down to the 3rd tier now is Victor Moses.
The same Victor Moses that's just spent 3 years playing top flight Russian League football, and spent the vast majority of his career in the Premier League, and has nearly 40 caps for Nigeria? The same Victor Moses that at one point was on 75k a week at Chelsea, and about 30-35k a week in Moscow?

Because Jones has told him he will not be a regular starter … Jones made that call .. its down to May if he wants to stay and fight for his place , stay in the area he settled or move only Alfie May can make that call

I'll have what you're smoking
Wakey, Wakey Sam3110 😃
There is more chance of Victor Moses buying CAFC ! I first saw Moses playing for Croydon Schools when he was the tallest lad on the pitch and it was shortly after he came from Nigeria. There was speculation that he appeared older than his schoolboy team mates. 🤔
I dont think any of us want May to go BUT he hasnt gone yet. Is there not a genuine possibility that Kanu goes out on loan and Godden sits there as the experienced back up to our strike force.
A lot of panic stations for something that hasnt happened yet and if it does, it does. No point crying about it, just move on and see what happens going forward.

..
so who paid for the new pitch , the new pitches at the training ground , Leaburn rehabilitation. the transfers of Mitchell , Berry, Edwards plus bids in for a number of players including Ipswich striker who will cost around 500,000 … listen to the meeting tonight the amount these new owners have spent in areas that fans don’t see ..

No. NOT the signing...

May has about 2 decent years left in him... Oh! 🤣
One bad game and the cafc fan base would bash the Bishop.
Gabriel Jesus
