Popular Post DJ_Villain Posted June 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wherever he goes, he goes with my best wishes and thanks for everything he has done/tried to do for our club. He was part of the group that brought us back from the shit we ended up in after years of mismanagement, and he deserves to be remembered fondly because of it... However, moving forward? He just isn’t at the level we want our players to be. He deserves first team football somewhere 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is the type of player you need to shithouse a couple of wins. He can get maybe 10 goal contributions in a season. Which can be close to 15-20 points over the course of a season as a lower side team. I've said constantly Burnley would be type of team where he'd be fine. Really surprised they haven'tt come in for him yet given Lowton and Westwood have turned out to be solid prem players for them and Dyche likes signing domestic players in 5-10m price range and Hourihane wouldn't even cost that much.

ciggiesnbeer Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Conor is an elite Championship player , I would be surprised if he didnt have any suitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbdrum88 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 if there's one player in the squad I wish could hit that next level it's connor, unfortunately his ceiling for for where we are isn't high enough, wish him all the best wherever he ends up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) How much should we get for him? Last year of his contract. 30 years of age. Championship hit harder than PL by Covid. Can we get as much as £5m? Edited June 11, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if a team see him as the difference between 2nd and 3rd and therefore bank the forecasted PL money and spend it on him, Swansea having him for a full season for example I think we could get around £5-8m for him for a promotion hunting team, less than £5m if he only attracts mid table teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 From what I can gather he wasn't great at Swansea and he's in the last year of his contract, and bearing in mind there's very little money in the championship at the moment, I'd be surprised if we get much more than £3m for him, not that he's not worth more but can't see us getting more because of the circumstances surrounding the situation.

John Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Conor would be a good signing for a Championship club, but there are not many that could meet anywhere near 100% of his current wages and even less that would give us a fee. Perhaps one of the relegated clubs or an ambitious club with owners willing to inject some cash. I guess another loan may happen, to a club that are willing to pay a fair amount of his salary, but that clubs should not be the Noses! It is time that we stopped doing them favours and Conor should not have to sully himself by having to put on one of their grim shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd accept a small fee so they can match his wages for the next year, thank him for his contributions on and off the pitch and allow him to go with our best wishes. There's no benefit to keeping him if he doesn't make the bench and by all accounts he has been a great person to have in the squad, so I think we'll do what we can to facilitate a move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed Westwood for about 2m I think and sold him to Burnley for around 7m so that was pretty decent considering his stock was very low on here after relegation so that was last decent bit of business we did on a sale. Connor will probably be more 3-4m though, perhaps if Derby actually ever get taken over that might be an option aswell.

To be fair don’t really mind that much if we end up selling someone on profit just means we are losing an asset from the team 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we get as much as £5m? I would be surprised if we got more than a couple of mil. The problem though I think, is I can't see a prem team wanting him, and I also can't see a championship club being able to afford his wages, so I assume he will go on loan again or might need to take a pay cut to find a club?
