No. We should be looking to offload Jeff at the right price. 10m or above I’d say would be fair, not a hope in hell of recouping what we paid for him. Either that or get a nice loan fee by sending him out for a season. We should be focussing on getting bodies in now though tbh.
Yes lots of games to be played, injuries and suspensions to cope with.
But that was the point I was making. The very fact that the club chose to publish an interview with him about his summer and how he was finding working with Parker makes it seem unlikely that the club have him on the "must be sold" list.
I'd be interested to know which position Jeff would prefer to play. At times he picks out some beautiful passes, so there does seem to be quite a creative player in there somewhere. I have always wondered if he enjoys the midfield enforcer role we have given him or if he would prefer to be further forward, getting in defenders faces and helping to create scoring opportunities for others ( and possibly himself although his shooting has been pretty wayward more often than not
).
I suppose if you view Jeff as a utility player in this way ( i.e midfield enforcer when required, replacement for Billing should he ever get injured and we have cover for defensive midfield ) then it makes even more sense to keep him in the squad.
It's reported that Valencia are close to signing Chelsea's young midfielder Trevor Chalobah on a season long loan. Their finances are quite tight and they have numerous potential outgoing deals which may or may not happen. I guess they're looking to fund any permanent deals from those (bit like us).
Farrier mate, for Christ sake, my sake and your sake....if he plays... and I mean plays..plays plays..I.e. gives 100% for Our Kings Park Rangers ..then I'm his bitch !
Well one day we might be allowed to field about 16 players
but in the meantime it'll be 11 players rotated as form and injuries dictate, as the 46+ game season grinds on.
Do people not realise ever year hear his value goes down as his contract gets shorter
