Wouldn't be a massive loss, let him go if it's the right fee

Really?

I think it would be a huge loss.

[TruBlue]

Agreed.

ESPN now running it:

Flimsy story so far. I bet most clubs in the country 'weigh up' moves for a dozen different players every week.

I hope it doesn't happen. I like the 5-3-2 change Trollope has brought in, and Fabio (with Dec and Jazz) fits it perfectly.

100% agree.

The lads a liability!

Positional sense is shocking and makes to many rash challenges.

He must be on big wages as well.

No great loss in my opinion.

I would hate to see him go but you balance the books and we have have other options in the squad.We need to sell to buy and the hard fact is other clubs will only be interested in the better players.I just hope we are able to move on some of the dead wood or the likes of ALF and co sit up and have a real go either to get into our team or secure a transfer elsewhere.

I'd be tempted to sell as his wages are going to be high and he's in the last year of his deal; provided we replaced him and it allowed us the funds to get a striker.

I think the likes of ALF will have their contracts paid up if we can't shift them come August 31st. I'd imagine if we sold them, we'd have to cover part of their wages for this season anyway.

[valley boy]

You have to question their own pride.These are talented players who could earn good wages for a few more years yet if any of us had the opportunity they have we would give it everything we had and count ourselves lucky. Maybe they have too much money too soon.

[Blue in the Face]

Would love to keep him. But the chances of us keeping him beyond this season are slim as he's on the final year of his contract. If we had the chance of a good fee, we would have to take it. I expect he's probably on very high wages too.

[CCFC CASUAL]

Don't rate him at all. If he had a crew cut and his hair didn't bounce about the place he wouldn't get half the plaudits he gets.
Headless chicken who can't defend to save his life.

The Teeside Gazette Live is really on the ball with this story too:

http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/f...enzo-11709183?

The 26-year-old is heading into the final year of his contract at the Welsh giants, and the word is that Russell Slade may allow him to leave, if a decent bid comes in.

It's time we stopped the Charlton veto on all our transfers.

[the other bob wilson]

He's got a release clause in his contract (thought to be around £2 million) according to this;-

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/f...bids-11709914?

I'd sell if we could get a couple of million for him in the last year of his contract.

Ok, tbf, they are talented, they just can't be arsed.

Seems like you're summing up Declan there not Fabio

[Van Halen]

He has a £2m release clause according to Walesonline.

No he's absolutely on point in his summary of Fabio

This clause could work in our favour now if Boro are willing to go to 2m. We might see some good performances from Fabio before the window closes?

"Big wages" ??
I don't think that applies to Declan John.

[Jimmy the Jock]

I can see why people criticise Fabio , I love watching him play , he is an entertainer, looks like he enjoys his football and playing with a bit of passion.
I would hate to see him go. I want to be entertained as well as successful.

[MacAdder]

This^^^^
2 million for a lad in his final season of contract too good to pass up though.

Looked good going forward, I remember clapping him like we do gabion a few times, the little I've seen of him so Dec could fill in there IMO and put the 2m towards a striker

[Blue in the Face]

Not in the squad eh?

Newly-promoted Premier League club Middlesbrough are interested in signing Cardiff City defender Fabio Da Silva.
