If Boro get £20m for Hayden Hackney, we should be getting £30m for Charles. Much better player with a longer contract

I'm kinda excited to see if he can get a tune out of Downs

Me either, but we need to find a buyer. Who is gonna take a gamble on him? Maybe Russ at Leicester?

Peretz, Bazunu, Long. Obviously we'd be royally fucked if Peretz gets an injury, but as a championship side, can't really ask for much more than that. As it happens, I think we'll shift Bazunu and get a new back up.

Less than 10 goals between them in the PL, imo.

Nonsnese. Stewart is the best striker at the club and arguably in the leauge. The reason he is roatated in and out is because of his injury record. The later part to that statement is why I don't think he is in a powerful position as a free agent - He might get a decent sign on fee, but who's going to commit to a decent contract on a long term deal.

I think he had some really good games for us. Lacks end product and overall was a little dissapointing but not giving up on him. In the championship, not 1 I think we urgently need to replace.

Can they reject the option or is it 10% in our court?

Did we ever get any extra info / context from @LeG

imo, Jander leaving will be the biggest loss and hardest to replace. He's brilliant in pretty much every department. If the best THB can get is West Ham, Cov or Hull, would he not be better of sticking around for another season!?

I can't see anyone paying the money for him. He's the wrong side of 25, unproven in the PL and he faded a bit towards the back-end of last season when people realised you had to stick 2 men on him at all times.

He 100% won’t if we are in for him.

Agreed. I’m Just assuming he’ll be one of the ones to go.

Trying to be realistic and understanding we need to move some people on, I’d like to see the window look something like this. Out Ramsdale, THB, Jander, Charles, sugawara, Diaz, Wellington, Archer, Aribo, McCarthy, smallbone, Jamie Jones, Charlie Taylor, Romeu. In / current squad (being something like this) Peretz, new, Bazunu Bree, Roerslev, Stephens, new, wood, quarshie Manning, Targett (loan) Downes, James Jordan (would probably need to be a loan), JWP (loan / cheap deal), Bragg Azaz, new Fellows, matsuki Scienza, Edozie Stewart, Larin, Downs

They have a victim mentality that outdoes the Scousers. Incredible.
