Piroe - Sell or Keep?

Keep him. Form is temporary, class is permanent.
Feck the business model, I want this club to get promoted, not linger round the lower reaches of the second tier.

Don't torture yourself with that dream mate, ain't gonna happen under these owners.
 
Honestly, there’s some crap on here, sell last years top scorer just because he hasn’t hit the ground running yet…madness.

There's another argument which is sell him to re-invest. And before anyone throws back a statement that includes 'Yanks' and 'invest' in the same sentence, I am not talking about spending 100% of the fee. Instead I am talking about a few million (let's say four million of an eleven million fee) spent on WB's and a young striker.

Well talking to ‘someone’ last night I get the impression we want him gone asap for as much money as possible so we can bring in two or three players out of that money.
Not exactly mind blowing news I know I’m just saying what I grasped out of a conversation I had.

He'll know that too, and he'll want out. That'll be built into his performances as it's in his head.

Surely though not putting himself in the best light if he has lost form due to being distracted by all the transfer talk ?
I honestly feel it's a confidence thing
 
I don't hear any transfer chatter, none whatsoever. No smoke without fire and all that so I assume that he will still be with us into September.

Do you hear anything, Risc?
 
Everton are after some Championship strikers in Diaz (Blackburn) and Gyokeres (Coventry) so Piroe may be a 3rd option there.

Very rarely, but was just on the off chance I heard off someone that Downes would 100% be off as a deal was sorted shortly after season finished (with I assume palace actually but West Ham came in late), and that Piroe would also be going, has been trying hard to get a move all summer but looks as if at the moment no one paying the price we want. What Darran is saying I would think is spot on though, we wanted this deal done a long time ago.

I wasn't saying that we should sell, I was just gauging others opinion here. If it were to be the case of us needing to sell him to bring in players, I imagine his stock has dropped off from the tail end of last year. In an ideal world we keep Piroe and bring in new faces, but let's be realistic.
 
One of the problems I have with selling him is whether or not we can replace him with anyone capable of starting? We've let Kyle Joseph go already so Cullen is the only striker we have on the bench so our backup at the moment is not inspiring. If we don't replace Piroe, does that mean Cullen starts to partner Oba and we have no striker on the bench at all? And what happens if Oba gets injured?

I don’t think any other club would be running this poll about their top scorer.
 
Hes agreed another years tenancy on his property hes staying at not that means anything tho
