I know this sounds bad and I really don't want to see Bego leave but I think I would feel guilty next season if he was still here. I would feel like we would be holding him back in his career because he is good enough to play for one of the best teams in the world.

Reading between the lines, PC seems to be saying that Pulis went because he could not attract the quality of player needed to push on. Makes sense.

It's not asif he's a striker and he's only got 4 years of peak left. If he stayed with us for another season or 2, he still would have a decade of top-level football ahead of him. It might actually be better for his technical-development, just obviously not so good for his agent.

Good news if true. For me he's worth 10 points a season. It'd be nice if we could get some more quality in during the summer still think we need more depth at RB, CM, wing and upfront to push on but were getting there. If we can finish 10th or above we should really be able to attract better players.

Says PC on Stoke City Player, and there is money for new players! Smart move....chances are we will sell Bego as he will want to move on and win trophies. This just sends the message out to any clubs ready to take the piss with low offers that we won't sell on the cheap, we don't need the money, we don't need to sell to buy,.....so to get him, you will need to pay full asking price. Nothing worse than haggling over price with someone who does not want to sell, nor does not need the cash. I wonder if we have we ever been in this position before in our History?

Depends on how well he performs at the World Cup. If he has a good one and a good offer comes in it may be better business to sell, use Butland and buy another decent keeper for back up. Marshall from Cardiff would be decent, he's a good keeper. Too good for them.

S long as Peter Coates is going to shell out some money for a few good players then we won;t need to sell him ! However, after the last 4 performances, it is quite obvious we are still severely lacking in creative and goal scoring players !

2 unbelieavble saves, particularly the one before Calas disallowed goal.

Where will Butland fit into these plans? Picking the ball out of his net on numerous occasions at Leeds.

There's still a difference between "no need to sell" and having an offer we (or Bego) can't refuse. Still think he'll go after the WC, and if he does, good luck to the lad

Early 70s I think we were quite flush (Dudley Kernick, in his book, put it down to the newly launched draw thingy that took off well and raised a lot of funds) but I can't remember us having a Chairman as wealthy, compared with our peers, as we do now.

Says PC on Stoke City Player, and there is money for new players! What he's saying to potential bidders is 'we don't need to sell' and the subtext is, 'if you want him it will take a big big offer'. Even if the club are completely screwed financially you don't go and alert the vultures do you.

Not read all the posts on this thread, but the op sounds promising. Keep your better players and build on it.

If he'd pushed for a move last summer he may have ran the risk of being on the bench for a top team during a WC year which may have put his Bosnia place at risk. Bego knows if he stays here he's guaranteed starts as the number 1 choice. Post WC though I can see him requesting a move if the opportunity presents itself.

Sensible stuff, it just means that if a club want to prize him away they pay top dollar for him. If we make any suggestion that we want to cash in on him, he'll go cheap.

I'd llike to believe we have money to spend in the summer but don't believe the hype... Olic/Diouff and Wilko offered an extension not convincing to me.

Would we still be a Premier League team if we hadn't signed Begovic? Discus.

What else does anyone expect the chairman to say? We cant wait sell him. We want our hand on that money fast? Just the standard response you'd expect from the club. He will go this summer. Just a case of us trying push his price up as high as we can.
