[Albion] Dale Stephens

[Justice]

Stephens is class for parts of games but also goes missing at times as well. If we could bring in a decent replacement I'd cash in on him

How much do you think a decent replacement would cost? Try £4m

 

[Captain Sensible]

I really like Stephens, he brings balance and a good footballing brain with an eye for goal. I think he'll get better and better this season.

 

[Sheebo]

anyone contemplating selling Stephens would be a moron of the highest order fullstop. He and Kayal are playin the CM role with only TWO of them (usually against 3 of them) incredibly well. We just ain't selling...

FWIW didn't he cost 1.5mil or 1mil - 2.5 is a laughable figure!

 

[mikeyjh]

Probably just paper talk responding to the fact that we lost 4 central midfielders in the first 10 days of the season. Can't believe we'd spunk £2.5m on someone who would be behind those 4 and George Thorne in the pecking order......

No, no, no, please no.

Agree with the above , if they come up with 5 million maybe , but you really don't won't to sell your starting midfield players , why disrupt the team especially as we have had a good start to the season

I'm not sure he'd want to move to perpetual bottle jobs Derby anyway......

exactly my thoughts
they have tried desperately to buy their way into the premiership without any success
hands off he is ours and it is our turn now

 

[BensGrandad]

£2.5m for a player who cost £600k is on the face of it good business but we can neither afford to lose him or replace him. A similar replacement would cost more money than that. If a player as good was available cheaper they would be chasing him.

 

[BBassic]

Bugger off Derby.

Stephens and Kayal are going to be a beast of a midfield pairing the more they play together.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Wheel cell

 

[The Wizard]

No way, anyone that would consider this is dumb, and suggesting we get Tex in replacement is also daft Tex/Kayal wouldn't work.

He was about 1-1.5million

Being reported on talk sport now . Would love tony to hold a meeting with the squad and say no one is going anywhere because we could be building something special this season !!

 

[DavidRyder]

Quite simply - bugger awf Derby!

 

[blue'n'white]

I really hope he stays - we don't need to be selling him and i think it's probably just mischief making by Derby who would probably buy him to stick him on the bench just so that we couldn't have him.
On a positive note though it means that teams are starting to worry about us - who would have thought we'd be a rival to massive Derby County
The end of the transfer window can't come soon enough . . .

 

[Marshy]

No way, Stephens is a key player for us this year, now fully fit we will see a cracking player.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Derby can f*** off.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Unsettling a promotion rival

 

[Baaaald]

Tell them to do one.....
