That could be an interesting option, it might make someone squirm if there has been a deal done in secret whilst under contract.

Who is his agent by the way?

Brough was pivotal in our top 8 finish and would only have improved our chances of beating Catalan if fit. That said he's no Gaz Ellis and we survived him leaving, just, so it's over to Danny...

if he goes i hope it is to huddersfield, would happily take robinson off their hands. players come and players go. if we can get a fee for him brilliant. he is not the saviour of wakefield just another part of the team. remember when solomona left, everyone saying wakey would sink without him.

well?

westwood,wood,ellis, solomona, atkins, brough?

if he goes there will be someone to take his place. the club should not break the bank to keep him

Cant believe im going to say this, but i mean it, id list him now!!!

the deal is as good as its getting, he isnt signing so lets cash in, wed surely be looking at more than 150k looking at the warrrington deals over the summer??

Whilst i'm a great fan of Danny Brough, there are many players out there who given time can replace him. The upside to keeping Brough is obviously he is English, An a product of our academy. But that said, no one player is bigger than the club.

I'd hope the club has set a limit they're willing to offer and they won't budge. Let's keep to our cap and ensure we're not paying over the odds. As others have said, players come and go, the club will remain

Robinson is gash.

could not have put it better myself, apart from adding the word "complete"

Agree completely, would be funny if he did go to "improve his chances of winning silverwear" and then by some miracle we won SL, i know it will not happen but it would be sweet.

would not pay him out in washers

Would rather take Brown myself, just the sort of player Kear could work wonders on, would have Brough before the both of them.

see id take brough going for brown and cash and see if brown could play stand off again with BJ (clubscapegoat).

intrestingly in brough stays and "informed thinking" is hes leaving watch how quickly he becomes official club scapegoat!

Scapegoat or not I think even BJ's biggest fan wouldn't back him at 7.

if brough plays like he did boxing day then he will deserve the scape goat tag, time will tell.

well to be fair it where he played his best when here last!

i think if broughy does leave you will really strugle to replace him with a player even half as good unless you go to oz and pay out a fortune, but on the other side of that if you do list him now it will probbably just upset the camp and to be honest every club he has played at including you now if rumours are to be blieved it has not ended well so in my opinion it would be a big risk for any club to come and pay a big fee for him but if he goes on a free transfer he is much less of a risk to a new employer and you might just get a good season out of him if he knows he is already sorted at the giants for next season.

And his worst.
His only option is stand off for me as a slightly better Rooney/Martin.

So do we go back to the title of the thread?
with or without the cash.

sounds like that deals a non starter now with or without cash.

Brough knows exaxctly what he is doing abput negotiating his signing on fee or his new contract - money matters the most (by a hell of a long way) in Danny's life at the moment. This finance position holds the key to where he plays. Nothing else maters to him.

A bit of loyalty towards our players would be appreciated - as we expect it from them.
It was on October 1st,last year,that John Kear was quoted in the press about the likelihood of Danny signing his extension,[url=http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/wildcats/Wakefield-Wildcats-boss-closes-in.5696019.jphere[/url.
On 5th November the news broke about the potential for a winding-up order.
It may very well be that the current situation is beyond the control of Danny and as such any anti-Danny statements may not be conducive to confidence building in the squad.
My opinion is that Danny deserves this season with Wakefield and I would much rather Danny
was putting his hands on silverware than any other half-back named on this thread from outside the club.

The clubs finances are not the worry!!!

You know something we don't.

Reading between the lines it seems lad13 is suggesting the financial worries is the individuals rather then the clubs.

Still, as long as he remains committed throughout the season then I think the club would be daft to cash in. He was signed for nothing so what’s the big deal if the club lose him for nothing. I don’t see the desperate need to get 100K or so (very unlikely given he is in his last year of contract) other then the tax bill which appears to be under control.

Let him go, cash in I say. Take the money now and run, if some money is available of course - we have survived before without him and we will survive again. I imagine he is the sort of player to make waves arround him if he is not happy, cannot afford to upset the balance and ethic of the side for him.

Better the devil you know!!!

Cooke has more baggage than a baggage handler at Heathrow!! Rovers thought they were getting a player worthy of paying a huge sum to - why else would they be willing to let him out of his contract with them early if he was worth it???

Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole!!
