    Given he was not involved at all today I have to think that Sinclair is going to be sold this month. Nothing else makes any sense really.

    Nah, we done one for Lustig. He appreciated it after being * about the board. Sinclair is being treated disgustingly.

    Sinclair has been dung for two years. I can't believe the way some fans are hailing him as some legend. If he is sold and we get a few million for him it will be great businesses

    Hes clearly been doing something for two years.

    I noticed in another thread you saying that stats dont tell the full picture and I agree, but I see absolutely no point in having the likes of Morgan ahead of him as an option, after a pish loan spell at Sunderland in league one.

    Sinclair might well have never recaptured his first season form but with him there I'd fancy a goal more than Morgan especially in games like the other night against Cluj.

    I've not seen anyone hail him as a legend, but equally I think it's a bit of a joke how fans are dismissing what hes given to us.

    We need better than both but as it stands if it's not going to be Johnston, then Sinclair all day.

    Sinclair is gone. He was extended purely with getting a fee in mind.

    This.

    We tried to get a transfer fee in rather than him leave on a free.

    We aren't playing him because not only do we want him out, he - being I'm sure the highest earner at the club - will also be on massive in-game and appearance bonuses.

    Therefore the reason why Morgan (cheap n' not very cheerful) is being utlized instead of Sinclair.

    I'd rather we tried shved out LW or try Forrest LW n shved RW when Johnston is unavailable. In fact * it ad rather stick a one legged arzani LW rather than Morgan.
    Fact is the English window is closed, Sinclair isn't going to want to go abroad at that age so he should be playing for us rather than sitting in the stands picking up 30k per week.

    Wait, are you saying our board has reached a state where they don't give a * what happens, as long as we operate at a profit?

    I am not ironizing you, but sold to who?

    The possible buyers for Sinclair were in the PL and championship. The window has closed. Cant see a german or french team moving for Sinclair. In January he will have six months of contract left and no team would pay for that.

    We most likely will be stuck with an unhappy player, which our manager will only use if we have a pandemia in the squad, costing 35k every week.

    Should have sold to Derby regardless of price tag.... Meaning only way for it to go south is if they were offering significantly less in wages that sinclair would knock it back

    Sinclair is going nowhere now, unless the American window is open, and is better than Morgan.

    I remember my dad saying that being cheap costs a lot.

    We lost 9 million because we didnt have a replacement lined up for Boyata, we pay 35k to a guy we dont want as we were afraid of losing him for free, some claim we effectively sabotaged our scouting system in hope of receiving a compensation of one million for Congerton, not to mention the 30 million lost every year due to the failure in having a team good enough to beat romanian, swedish and slovenian giants.

    Nope but would you trust his answer.

    As we have all said; he was given the year extension by lawwell to guarantee a fee and now it will cost us some serious cash to keep him.

    I have no doubt we had some sort of sale or swap deal done with Derby!

    Probably with that Lowe..

    Sinclair has likely turned them down. Well he definitely turned Derby down..

    No doubt that has * off Lenny and the board as well haven't punted him and he's still here as our highest earner..

    They * up big time basically..
