Should BOS stay or leave next month?

[dm]

Kevin Gallen has made a good case for BOS staying at QPR next month. He's arguably our best attacking threat, defenders hate his pace, and any transfer income we might get from his sale would be off set several times over by the cost of relegation which, Gallen feels, BOS is key to us avoiding.

However, for me, if we were offered several £m, I don't see how we could turn it down. We need the money just to keep operating, selling on players is our model of business, and BOS hasn't turned in a decent performance for months. And, I suspect his under par performances would only get worse if we stood in the way of a move. In short, he's not much of an attacking threat at the moment and wouldn't help us much to avoid relegation.

Celtic and Rangers appear to have been interested in BOS for months now. A little bidding war between them would be great. We'd get some much needed money into the club and other players would have their chance to step up.

If he wants to stay and his attitude is right he would be a better player than what we recruit, so I would keep for sure.

I entirely agree with your assessment of his performances in recent months. Unfortunately his form has regressed, although I don't believe this has been down to any lack of effort on his part. As you say, a bidding war to bump up his price would be lovely, but I don't see it happening and I suspect he will leave for quite a small fee.

Ironically, at this point I think it might not be the worst thing for the team overall. We have other options in Adomah and Willock, and getting balls into the box earlier and more predictably might help Dykes and Bonne.

Given his current poor form I'd be surprised if we got any more than we did for Manning. And if it's Rangers he goes to they'll probably look to swap him for that lad Warburton was keen on. The Northern Ireland chap who can't get in the team at the moment. Don't recall his name.

Jordan Jones. He's currently serving a seven game ban for breaching Covid regulations.

I was thinking the same thing about the fee for BOS. That will go down very badly so soon after Manning.

Well, €5,000,000 was on the table 4 months ago. It would be some nose dive if we were only able to get a fraction of that.

I think he will go, because he doesn’t look to me like a player who wants to stay.

He's a great player but I'll be gutted if he stays and continues to play like he is at present.

I suspect we'll snap the hand off whoever offers north of £1m.

[Systemsguy]

It's a buyer's market....£5M to a Belgium club he didnt ultimately fancy...
Don't remember anyone in the premier league being interested and he's not the same player as last season with his eyes elsewhere....

The season's a wreck for most clubs, get him for free in the summer (signing on fee excepted).....

[deadendjob]

I find BOS quite frustrating at the moment.
He's arguably our best player, but seems more focussed on himself than the team. He does all the right things, then instead of playing a pass to one of his team mates, he regularly goes for glory. It's almost as if he's trying to prove his worth.
I think we'd be better cashing in while we have the chance.

[Esox Lucius]

Yes.

[222gers]

Yes.

Yes, we have no bananas ?

[QPR-NI]

He’s got no interest.

Take what we can get and adios.

[beaglebum]

As much as i hate to say it, unlike Eze and Adel he is not running games and changing the outcome of matches.
The team are not winning with him on the pitch so realistically he is not making a difference. Yet his transfer fee could pay for a couple of new players.

Its a shame as on his day he is a quality player and we need ho3m at his best.

Kevin Gallen’s comments were based on BOS’s form a month ago but his form has really dipped now with the transfer window looming.

According to the media there are several interested clubs still so sell him.

[Systemsguy]

What Kevin Gallen says makes so much sense about the cost of relegation to what we can make off him in January BUT BOS eyes are not here when he plays and that's frustrating....

The only passion I've seen from him this season was going down on one knee with Chair after Chair scored at Millwall... and we didn't win that game in the end

I also hope he doesn't go north of the border to Celtic cut price mainly due to them feeling really smug that they had our trousers down with his contract running out in the summer... I know it's a rumour but really is quite credible...

I so wish he'd gone to Belgium in the summer.... It sours my memories of him like Manning...
