Pez1974 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Love the man, but I can't help but think we saw the best 6 months of his career last season, and he really did drop off quite badly. For me - sell as log as the bid is high enough - £5m? If we went up, he would be surplus to requirements. At this level Green should start every week. He's not young, and probably on a decent whack. Why wouldn't we sell our 2nd choice right winger? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree again , really like Adomah seems a great guy as well but at his age and last year of contract if we can get a decent fee we should take that chance , I also suspect he may be on a decent enough wage (given the terms we gave out to other players signing at the time ) so it will help with FFP to get him off the books 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 If we can sell him now I think we should. Don't really want to be offering a new deal to a player who will be 31 in December. Would most likely be 34 by the time any new deal would run out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I'd let him go as well for the right price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen definitely looked the best in Hull by a long shot and wouldn’t mind seeing him in a Villa shirt, but don’t want to sell Adomah to rivals, cannot risk strengthening them at all. Don’t forget he was our top scorer last season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did have a good spell last season But generally,Lacks conviction....too tentative. easily taken out by an opponent with more conviction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Yea I think his purple patch last year was exactly that. He might hit 10 this year, but I just don't feel it. He was poor from Feb last year. He's a great bloke by all accounts, but he struggles to beat a man, his crosses are floaty and he's not smart enough to play in the middle. If someone made us a 4m bid, I'd accept and wish the guy well. He'd probably take a 3 year deal at his current age too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Move him on while last seasons goal tally in fresh in everyones minds. Very poor 2nd half to the season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vreitti Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Are you guys seriously suggesting we sell a player that scored 14 goals last season for £4M!? We truly are a sorry bunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We truly are a sorry bunch. He's in the last year of his deal of about 20k a week. He's never played PL football and he's 31. How much do you honestly think he's worth? I'd say absolute max is 6m. And I can't even see that tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't just find a winger that'll score +10 goals in a season. Sure Green is a promising prospect, but I'll be amazed if he manages more than 5 goals. Also we've already lost Snodgrass who contributed a third of our goals last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Would sell provided wide options were to come on loan, makes sense for the previously mentioned reasons. Edited August 7, 2018 by GENTLEMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREAT_BEARD_OF_ZEUS Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 He's not the future of this side. If we have a decent replacement lined up, I'd entertain enquiries then wait and see if a desparate club comes in with a decent/silly offer on Thursday. If not then I wouldn't be unhappy to have him for another season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it needs to be remembered that his tracking back generally is great, and football these days requires the wingers to do just that. I’d be happy to see him go if a good offer came in because I honestly don’t see him having another season like last year. But, whoever we replace him with needs to be capable of doing the donkey work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
