We MUST sell Andre in the summer 00:20 - Apr 6 with 5921 viewsLowie

Hear me out...

I don't doubt there is a player there, potentially a really good player at that. He is one of our own.

However - he has been the constant in midfield this year and he offers virtually nothing. He has a nice touch and makes the odd tidy pass, but he doesn't create, doesn't tackle and often goes missing. In short, he is a luxury item and one we can't afford if we have any hope of getting out of this league next year.

Cook will have to rip apart this squad, of that there is no doubt. What we don't know is the extent to which he'll be backed in the transfer market. We won't mount a convincing promotion push with freebies alone. We should use any fee from Andre to buy the attacking players that we'll need to get us up.

the right freebies could mount a promotion challenge.

AD just isn't cut out to be a L1 player. he'd blossom in a team that has shtloads of the ball, and movement up top..... but he looks up and sees Jackson tripping over his own nose

You'd be looking at at least £2.5 Mill with additional appearance fee's etc on top easily.
Football's a mugs game when it comes to selling, IF he's still hot property, they will buy him, if he's not, then he's no longer good enough for a starting place.

You might have been right with that statement a year ago, but the pandemic has played havoc with football, really can't see clubs spending silly money in the short term future.

This is madness.

Can't have a thread saying he's rubbish then expect to get 2.5m for him in L2.

This board is now bonkers a lot of a time.

Everytime he was mentioned kept thinking of the very cheap awful bread they make...I thought he great but I raised the issue how can you evaluate him against our midfield? We do also make plays look better than they are

Dozza as an individual doesn't work for Town and where we are at, but he'll shine in another team who don't need to much 'other stuff' from him

How many players have sold for that much from L1?

How many have had as little impact as Dozzell before they were sold for that much?

Don't forget it's not about selling based on what he has achieved so far, it's about selling the potential of Dozzell. He's been unlucky with injuries, but a solid full senior year, england u20 star previously etc etc,

If you can get £2 mill for Toto and Nolan, you will definitely be able to get more than that for Dozzells potential.

But, depends on how covid effects the football market

I doubt anybody will make much of an offer for him now, and I think you're going to have to live with seeing a bunch of freebies next season. I'd be surprised if any clubs below the Prem spend much in the way of transfer fees in the summer.

They were two of the stand out players in league 1 when we brought them, Andre has just had a shocker in league 1, no way on earth we get £2m, 500k tops. Probably better to keep him and see if he comes good in a different system with different players.

Like i've already said, we won't be selling Andre based on this season, it would be based on potential.

He's 22 in a couple of weeks, there has to be a point where potential starts to become ability and that time is running down quickly for him.

I genuinely can't see us getting much for him now, clubs are going to have to watch every penny aside from the really big boys and they wouldn't have any interest in him.

Jensen Weir sold for around £500k with additional fees to be added on
19, CM with barely any appearences to his name, Eng u18 squad player

Dozzell has been hotly followed through the last few years, and it's a shame he suffered the injury when he did.

No one knows what he will sell for, until then we can all speculate. But don't assume just because he's not had the best season, it means he won't still be seen as hot property to some. The fact he has managed to get through this season and add some really respectable appearance figures, will enhance his reputation
And the fact that apart from town fans, he's actually a player well thought of, if he wasn't, we wouldn't have given him a longer deal.

Quite. It requires some pretty impressive mental gymnastics to believe both that (a) Dozzell isn't good enough for us as a League 1 side, and (b) he's someone we can cash in on for a sizeable fee. Madness.

No. We need a frontline that is consistent and intelligent enough to give him runs and options. Likewise a midfield that has a bit of physicality. We miss Downes, Nolan and skuse because the only options available is using him alongside Bishop.
