I don't disagree with your points but its only 45 minutes ffs man!!! Lots will still change!!

There's a saying, "if you always do what you've always done, youll always get what you've always got". They need to change😂

IF...we are not prepared to pay 15m(or even up to 20m) for Fellows or anyone else of that standard then we are unlikely to progress very easily. We need a few Fellows type who are decent in the Champshionship amd can still progress to PL level. Its not like we don't have the money.

Ah ok! Yeah I think he will....just hope its nearer 40m than 30m!!

Did he?🤔 Not listed as doing so on OS or socials.

Didn't Dragon say the loans caused us a problem when we went up? Presumably because we already had the players but then needed to use funds to keep them, limiting spend under PSR as a result for completely "new" and additional players? For this reason I suspect we will only or at least in the main (maybe one like Downes or THB) see loans for experienced players who we predict will only be here a year to do a job and/or will be really cheap if we choose to make them permanent next summer.

I think thats the point really. We are not going to get north of 25m from any team for him, so why sell him?!

I think THB stays. He is good but is he going to be good enough for a top half PL team, certainly not yet. But with us he may turn into one over the next season. His value right now is less than I think its probabaly worth selling for as doubt we'd get much more than 20-25m. Don't know how long he's got left on his contract though.

None of your business

Im beginning to think we will be far better than the general feeling is but this does depend on signing 4 or 5 players!!! GOALKEEPERS NEW 1st Choice 🙏 Bazanu and AMC as 2nd choice is "ok" for EFL LEFT-BACKS Wellington - looks like will be good and 1st Choice Manning - probabaly above average in EFL (below average for PL) Taylor - good experience, don't think we've seen his best! RIGHT-BACKS Bree - decent enough for this league Sugawara - again decent enough for EPL If theres one in tbe Academy coming up then that will help, but Stephens can play in an emergency, as can Edwards probabaly. CENTRE-BACKS THB - Hopefully stays as has some great qualities and will still improve in a well functioning team. Quarshie - who knows but looks like will be first choice? Stephens - very surprised by the contract extension, but as 3rd or 4th choice is 'ok'. More reliable in short stints of games, 3-5 maybe, rather than 15-20!! Would be happy if we sell. Wood - I think theres actually a player there. Shouldn't be 1st Choice yet but I think will be a decent 3rd/4th choice option this season. Sanda - hopefully a rough diamond Edwards - theres certainly a player in there. Still young, but as very slightly shorter than THB, Quarshie, and Wood perhaps less favoured by WS? Maybe he'll turn into a DCM? ABK- Please go NEW 1st Choice 🙏 MIDFIELDERS Charles - praying we don't sell. He will be the main man in tbe middle alongside Downes. Downes - see above. Paramount we keep him too Smallbone - Im not a fan. One or two good games does make up for the 5 or 6 that are then average or worse. Seems to be one of tbe worst players Ive seen as coming on as a sub, as appears not to be able to get up to the speed of the game quick enough. Happy to Sell. NEW (YOUNG) DCM 🙏 - would be very pleased to see Lesley O back!! Matteus Fernades - obviously off Tyler Dibling - I think he'll end up staying and being a top player for us this season Robinson - excited by this players potential Fraser - not bothered whether we keep or get rid Matsuki - dont know about him, but probabaly worth keeping until Jan at least to see how he goes, before maybe sending on loan NEW AM has been promised 🙏 FORWARDS Downs - looks really exciting to me, think he will be the main man up top along with Archer! Archer - with a more wing based system, I think Archer will be an important player for us, along with Downs Stewart - I'd like him to stay and prove the doubters wrong, he clearly has an ability to perform very well in this league Armstrong - probabaly keep, but if we sell, I hope its to the PL not the EFL as will make almost every other team stronger I'd predict. BBD - get rid NEW 1st Choice Winger 🙏 New (early 20s) Striker 🙏 In summary we need 1st Choices GK, CB, AM, WINGER Young (early 20s ish) DCM, Striker Very realistic I think as we clearly have money.

As a professional coach (not football) I am an optimistic when it comes to improvement of athletes. Im certain Bazunu is already better than 23/24 season, and expect him to be better than last season. Our new GK Coach will surely get some improvement. Leaving said that though, will the improvement be good enough for a team wishing to win the championship and then play in the PL next season? Im not convinced by that. Matt Ryan does not seem to me to be any better than AMC from what I can remember of him, and also from what a few BHA fans have told me previously, ok, but not spectacular. I think Patterson at Sunderland would be a good shout but to be honest I don't really know!! I do think that the GK is a very crucial signing this summer so let's see who comes since.

Why didn't you actually answer his question?

As long as we get 100m+ for them all I wont care.

So are we any closer to knowing who tbe AM is that was mentioned alongside the CB and ST as immediate signings?!

So how much does it take for us to sell the main 4 players? We are in a aellers market eith these players so I'd expect very decent fees. Fernandes....long contract remaining, potential is huge. At least 40-45m. Dibling....shorter contract but potential higher probably than Fernandes. Younger too. I'd say similar 40-45m, but would hope we can get 50m+ plus good sell-on percentage. Ramsdale....long contract remaining, got to be 30-35m+ hopefully nearer 40m. THB....lost a but of his shine last season so not sure too many will be after him but maybe one of the promoted clubs. Possibly Palace if they lose Guihi. I'd say 30-35m+ could force our hand. That would put in tbe pot somewhere between 140-160m possibly, plus what we've already made from KS and PO. A significant sum that should mean two or three good ones fro this season but also mean we have more availalble if we go up immediately. I'd hope one or two would stay but selling all four this summer may well be the best strategy for the long term.

Maybe theres a loan swap with Ramsdale and Patterson?

Hadn't seen that but nevertheless. I much prefer 2 CBs but all I care about this season is he produces winning football. I don't care how much possession we have or what formation😂

I like this signing. I hope he's not the only out and out Striker we sign but someone who is a full international at 20 is not bad. Clearly a powerful player which we've lacked, and i think him, Archer (despite what others may think, Im confident he will prove good this season), and A.N.Other (better) will be exciting.

Might need 5 CBs if Still plays 3..

True. Promote (😂) him to Club Captain and appoint someone else as Team Captain who is first choice every game.

I said CB group, not a starting player. As 3rd or 4th choice he's a good option because he loves the club. He does have good experience for some of the younger ones to learn from. We don't need very many of his type but two or three "locals" so to speak are good to have. I do not think he better than a mod championship starting CB, but he'll do as one of the back up options, plus has a little bit of versatility to cover RB if desperate or even DCM. Squad player in Championship. Useless in PL.

I am a surprised by this BUT he is good enough to be in tbe CB group in The Championship. In the PL NO!!!!! Maybe we are planning to sell next summer if we go up, with a longer contract helping that.

For??

Which 6 players? Its behind a paywall...
