  1. I think Holgate on loan is a decent option to add competition. Does it improve the starting 11, no. But it means we actually have some cover / depth in that position. I would imagine we would strengthen with someone better if we sell ABK. Otherwise we have him to come back into the team.
  2. I don't know to be honest. Martin has always said that the team would be different come the end of the window. We still, today, have a very strong team which is a size of 26. So I would expect as we sell players now, then we will be replacing / strengthening.
  3. Haven't they explicitly said that any money made will be put back into the club. This wont always be on transfers, but there has been zero suggestion of this from the club. It's just some assumptions from posters.
  4. I'd argue Adams has been pushing for a move for the last two seasons. Every window he's linked with moves away, especially Everton... Doesn't seem much of a surprise to me. Tella is a tricky one. We farmed him out last season and I expect he feels he's proven himself a premier league player now, who deserves a chance. Again, depending what's going on behind the scenes, I'm ok selling him for the right money given we replace and strengthen.
  5. They have an asset to protect, so why they might dig their heals in slightly, ultimately they will likely cave as they won't want to loose out on £10m if he goes for a free next summer
  6. As long as they are good enough! Also it makes sense as they know how to play possession based football! Charles is looking like a really good player! Edozie is looking better this year, I thought he was really good at the weekend. I just want us to get the best players that we can that fit our system and add the depth and quality that we need
  7. It feels now the squad is at a point (26 first teamers now) where any outgoings should be replaced now. Selling Adams / Tella will enable players in be brought in those areas. Ideally we want to shift Onauchu to bring in another forward as well to add some needed depth in that area. But it's still a very large squad! So I can't see the club moving now until we are weakened by further outgoings. Downes is the JWP replacement, and that will get wrapped up this week by the sounds of it as well!
  8. Yeh! I feel he was second choice to Downes. It feels too much of a coincidence that we are getting Downes and he's now signed up to Swansea
  9. I don't think it's time to shit the bed just yet. We knew we had to trim the squad before we could sign players. As of today we still have a first team of 26 players.... RM said we need another CM on top of Downes, other than that we need to shift a CB to make room there, and shift a striker to make room there. I think now when we sell anyone we will see the strengthening happen. RM also said this would run right until the end of the window and the team would look very different in Sept.
  10. But none of those players have first team appearances! Harwood-Bellis is already proven at the very top of this level and still only 21. He would be a huge coup
  11. We are making over £100m in transfer fees, they have said they will be re-investing. We have the parachute payments as well. So for this season at least we will have resources no other team in the league has! And we were already relegated when we spent £15m on Charles! I'm not expecting them to re-invest all of it. But it also wouldn't surprise me if we spent best part of £50m on a few players to strengthen us if we have space in the squad
  12. I'm not sure it does. We spent £15m on Charles. I could see us spending £20m+ for one of the most promising CBs with experience out there!
  13. Time will tell how well Martin will do with some actual resources and being backed financially. And we will see if he was holding you back next season. From the outside it looks like it did a great job to keep you competitive with such little money.
  14. Yes, if we end up selling Bednerak ABK Salisu Perraud KWP Aribo Orsic Djnepo Lavia JWP Adams Onaucho Stu A Tella Already gone is Ely and Walcott That seems to be the likely list of players that are going, we might end up keeping one or two... That should give us something in the region of over £150m. Obviously there are areas to fill financially, but buying 8 players with a mix of youth and experience for this league seems about right for me.
  15. I think we'll be signing more than 6 players.... My guess, depending if we get enough players offloaded will be GK, someone to challenege/back up CB, we will need at least two LB, Parraud likely off CM, we will need two to replace Lavia and JWP AM, depends who we keep here, but likely will need at least one ST, probably one or two depending who departs So I would say minimum we are looking at 8 players to rebuild the spine of the team. Money shouldn't be a problem either with the outgoings expected.
