Snowflake Royal The Brighton move was much more recently than 2017 surely!

Wasn't it the summer before last, so 2018, which would mean his contract runs through the next two seasons?


It was summer 2018, correct. And he was given a 5 year contract, so he's here for another 3 years (unless we sell him of course)

I think people are forgetting Morrison is a good 5 years older than Moore, so for me, we shouldn’t be basing our future partnership on him.

Have McIntyre & Moore played together yet? I know McIntyre flipping loves him, so it could bring the best out of Moore.

The Morrison signing reminds me of McShane, who was great for the first couple of years but then declined, due to age.

I know Moore’s had a poor season but some seem to have written him off. Yes maybe a move would be good for him & us, but I still think he’s got a lot to offer here

Pathetic that might consider only £3-4m for a promising young talent like that. If we were a Forest or a Derby they'd be offering £9-10m.

Who's saying we would?

If Reading FC are daft enough to sell Olise to Leeds for £3-4 when he could be worth £20M in a few years then we might as well sell all the players and wind up the club now - as I just see no point in going on. IMO it would be the height of insanity to sell one of the brightest prospects that have come through the Academy for years at a knock down price - especially if Swifty (who deserves his shot at the PL) is going too.

He's been very hit and miss for a while. And a lot of time relies on throwing himself in the way to get away with poor defending.

Morro isn't a long term solution but he's not going become shit overnight and was our best defender last season.

Moore and McIntyre won't work IMO because Moore has been consistently shit when played on the right side of CB and McIntyre is a left side player from the looks.

Absolute bonkers to think about Olise being worth £20m in a couple of years too.

No it isn’t.
Although it’s hard to know where prices will settle so any estimates right now are difficult.
I’d say if he has 2 good seasons, playing consistently, adding goals to his game he could well be heading in that direction.
It’s optimistic but hardly bonkers. No one is suggesting he’s the new Sancho.
Although ‘bonkers’ is apt generally for the price paid for people who are good at football, so as a generic comment on overinflated transfer fees you’d be right

As mentioned before. I think unless someone offers a Sigurdsson size fee and a sell on then he's a player we should keep. £4m might sound a good fee but he easily could be worth double that if he develops his end product next season. A fee of £4m might cover Moore's wages for his last 3 years. But where's our creativity going to come from assuming Swift departs for a similar fee?

Good playmakers are hard to find for low fees/frees. It'd be a massive risk. To be fair having Olise as our only playmaker is a risk.

Holsegrove looks likely to step up as well and is another exciting youngster.

He's a good player but can he play that playmaker role? Is that his strength? He definitely deserves a go in pre season to see what can do there, if we can afford it the club could do far worse than bring in some experience with creativity to help him and Olise through. Assuming Ejaria doesn't come back.

Think it’s fair to call Holsgrove a playmaker. He’s a different sort of player to Olise although there are some similarities. In terms of current players I think he’s somewhere between Swift and Adam, stylistically - not much of a dribbler but excellent technique, very good at passing in tight spaces. Olise has more strings in his bow. I wouldn’t want Holsgrove playing on the wing.

Yes, it's exactly his role.

We can’t hold on to players just in case they are worth more in years to come or we would never thin the squad down. Anyone we can sell now we should, clearly get as much as we can but we aren’t In A position to sit on a huge squad in the hope we can maybe make more money in X years time.

Some players we sell will be worth more in years to come, some won’t, that’s the gamble.

Daily Mail published an article on those players expected to leave championship clubs this window for big money fees. Olise features highly with Arsenal, Leeds and wolves are monitoring.

It's bollocks. I'm sure he'll end up in the PL soon, but not this week. Would we even have time to sign a good replacement?

Daily Mail..... stopped reading there !
These articles are just space fillers done from a desk, never consider them anything more than guesss work by people who probably know less than fans.
Seriously I cannot see us selling him at this point unless it is for crazy money with an immediate loan back. Even then it would seem unlikely given whatever is paid for him now could look like a bargain in 12 months.

Is it true his contract expires in 2022? We may be fielding some low ball offers next year if so, even if he has a season like Maddison or Eze. Get him signed up longer term (along with Richards and McIntyre).
