I made a follow up post just below that one.

Having said that, this is all fine if losing all these fringe players for decent fees helps us to keep some of the big four.

Hmm. Losing Sulemana, Edozie and SAA in a year isn't great. We'd really need a top quality winger to compensate.

As a striker?

Sainz will be in the prem. I'd have liked Sargent but we haven't been linked.

I'm not sure we can view Downs as a negative yet until he's actually shown what he can do. He hasn't proven himself yet but he hasn't disproven himself either.

Indeed and it's a good point worth mentioning. Maybe we won't have the same level of control that we had in some matches either but hopefully we will score a few more and overwhelm teams in a manner that we didn't under tippy tappy.

The last time we got promoted our forward line was Mara and Adams

Personally I'm hoping it's Stewart, Downs, Archer and maybe Ballard.

You're right I wouldn't be mentioning BBD and I doubt he will be here. For me, Charles of 2025 is better than two years ago. Add Ramsdale, Dibling, Fernandes and Archer and that is clearly preferable to last time. The problem is it's not really a fair comparison because we are obviously going to lose two or three of them. However, I'd expect us to get a better keeper in than Bazunu. We will most likely end up weaker at rb and possibly in AM but hopefully with a stronger midfield overall, more depth at CB, stronger at lb and maybe with a comparable attack.

I don't care about your crappy league comparisons. Their championship goal scoring records are comparable.

Getting him off the books is the most important thing. He's still quite young and lots of potential as you say. We should get a few million at least.

So he is comparable with Adams then. That's actually a better goalscoring rate in the league we are actually in.

I wouldn't say that's too outlandish. Archer and Adams are probably comparable. Certainly Ramsdale, Dibling and Fernandes are a cut above everyone else in that list. I expect they will all leave though.

Reckon we could get 7 million for ABK? Would represent decent business at this point.

Still.

Looks like a decent signing. Small though so not really one that fits our profile.

I'm happy with my initial reaction.

Genuinely this is amazing business. To get that much for a player who has completely flopped is brilliant. It will be worth even more if the early money brought in allows us to keep one of our three jewels (Ramsdale, Fernandes or Dibling).

More bad news for Starmer as Sultana brain and Corbyn look to setup the long predicted Islam Party.

Villa?

I still think he wi go but if we keep Fernandes that may then be good enough.

We had Cody Cropper but he never played for the first team.

For me, that's the nicest shirt we've had since the sash.

If you really want it, much better getting the cheap knockoff for small amounts.
