Badger Posted 20 April, 2017 Share Posted 20 April, 2017 That'll be the VVD £50mill then. PS anyone seen the tweets about player unrest - Long, VVD and Bertrand saying they're off if Puel isn't? Sounds like an excuse, but have to say I wouldn't shed a tear if Puel was dispensed with. Just hasn't got it for me. too many abject performances and needless squad rotation, imbued with no character whatsoever To be fair, someone posted this in the post city match thread: Of course could also be BS, however its not the first we've heard about unrest with certain players in the dressing room... So how does this work then, these ultimatums that if Puel remains we're off kind of issues ? Does it remain tittle-tattle on the training ground and in changing rooms, or do their agents bombard Les Reed with this ?Alternatively does Kelvin as a player liaison, or whatever his role is, get to take this back to Reed?

MarkSFC Posted 20 April, 2017 Share Posted 20 April, 2017 The list of things I think need to be addressed this summer: 1. The future of VVD 2. The purchase of at least one 'ready' centre half. Two if VVD leaves. What the past few months has shown is that Jack Stephens would make an excellent fourth choice centre half and Yoshida would be an excellent backup centre half. Gardos can move on as we have some excellent prospects that can take his role. 3. The future of Jay Rod - he doesn't seem happy to me and I can't see him staying if he is third choice for single position in the team. Anything else depends on departures. 1. how? he's got 5 years left anyway.....we do not need to sell. 2. agree on one decent CB....Stephens looking better than I thought he would to be fair so hope there. Yoshida had a decent season, so one better than both will be excellent. 3. He has to go for his own career and I wish him well in doing so, we have clearly moved beyond him now. But when he leaves (and I think Long will too because he's not really suitable for Puel's style, which is fine by me) we probably need 2. One decent one to compete with Austin and Gabbiadini, and one with potential - or possibly Gallagher. Others......sell Classie, replace with a better DM. Get rid of Martina. Sign Hassan if good enough and let Gazzaniga go, hopefully McCarthy is fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
