Glennon potentially to depart?

Quoted from diehardmariner

I like the lad and I think he underperformed last season (which I believe was down to him carrying an injury).

But he definitely didn't show enough athletic ability to be at a Championship club with an eye on the top 6.

Yes he did. I think he could become one of the best left backs of all time and somewhere around £2.5m would be an absolute bargain


(Just incase anyone from Lancashire or south wales is reading!)

I like the lad and his attacking game is alot better than his defending game. Think he will have a standout season this year if he stays. However can't stand in the way of denying him the Championship if it comes beckoning. I think we could demand a 100-125k fee for him maybe a little more. Look at Danny Rose, I bet we paid around 30-50k for him with a year left on his deal and the money for Championship clubs is peanuts considering Swansea could potentially sell the likes of Piroe for 10m.

Yes, but if you keep a player from an opportunity like that by holding out for 5 times what he's worth, being generous, then he's hardly likely to be happy and perform to his best.

Surprising if it's true. He has good delivery but the rest of his game looks some way short of Championship quality

Also a year left on his deal.  12-months time he's 24 and we get nothing at all for him.  

Left-back is a position I trust Hurst to bring in quality, with or without a budget.  Discounting when he had to rifle in bargain bins of Mad Harry's, the most recent left-back signings at this club I can remember are:

Glennon
Amos
Crookes
Andrew
Robertson
Horwood
Townsend

I think there's an argument that maybe Horwood wasn't great, but he wasn't awful either.  Crookes was very solid and dependable, only really fell out of favour when we looked for a more attacking option.





Yes, I deliberately omitted Seb Revan.

He's great going forward and an excellent wing back. He actually really improved defensively throughout the cup run. Likeable lad, great attitude and great technically. It's nice to have players that people are interested in. I don't want to see him leave but if you're going to lose players for cash, full backs are fairly easy to replace.

What about Jamal Fyfield? Was that a deliberate omission or a memory you had forgotten?

2014, falls outside the recent criteria.

I don't make the rules.

I wish I could forget him.

The excitement on here of the sighting of Dany N'Guessan was at an all time peak...Or was that Anthony Straker?  He definitely fits into the recent and deliberate omission category.

£150k is nothing to a championship team that’s losing twice that a week so we should hold out for as much as possible if they want him but you can’t stand in his way .

End the thread, my confidence in Hurst signing a decent left back is rapidly decreasing!

IIRC he was one of our better performer at Brighton; maybe the cup brought him some attention higher up the pyramid. If anything I would say slightly underwhelmed with his last season as a whole. Mainly because I was delighted when we landed him and expected him to kick on a bit more than did.
