They’ve already got £60m they’ll need to lay/ have laid out for Kulusevski and Bentancur, plus they need some full back improvements.

HarvSFC Posted 20 May, 2022 Share Posted 20 May, 2022 I think it’s safe to rule Everton out of the JWP conversation for this summer, dugouts, or no dugouts. He’d have been better off going to Villa last summer, rather than signing the new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really think we should get used to the issue that it's probably about getting as much money as we can for him and potentially finding a replacement first (so cheaper) I'm not saying it's impossible that he goes - far from it. But unless there's a release clause, there's not a chance in hell that Levy is paying what JWP would cost with 4 years left on his contract. If he goes, I think it will be to a 'more money than sense and desperate to be seen to be progressing at almost any cost' type of club. Somewhere where he'll get in the side, where they're prepared to pay the over-inflated transfer fee that we'd need in order to justify the sale, and where they can override any concerns about quality by turning his head with ludicrous wages. Like Newcastle, for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's realistic enough to know that he won't get much game time at a top four club, which in turn will hamper his England ambitions. The only top 6 club I could see him at is Arsenal. what about United? They need midfielders (Matic, Pogba, Lingard and Mata are all departing, and Pereira (one year left on his contract) and van de Beek obviously pushed out on loan) and they are not going to suddenly stop spending money now. Maybe Frenkie de Jong signs from Barca, maybe he doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint1977 Posted 21 May, 2022 Share Posted 21 May, 2022 (edited) With Theo looking like he is going to the MLS (Crocker has gotten lucky there), and Fraser gone, looks like huge scope to completely remould the squad with the wages freed up. Bednarek and Ely almost certainly going as well, no talk of a new contract for the latter and Jan has looked and played like a smacked arse for some time, culmination the Man City debacle. Redmond very likely to be going and could be a squad option for another PL club, maybe Bournemouth or Fulham. Tella really needs to move on at 23 having not really established a solid place and follow Obafemi’s lead. Oriol only a year left although personally I’d let him see that out, Diallo at a similar age to Tella, needs to play and move on to do that. Could be a good player at a better club. AA seeemingly unsettled and unless Ralph resigns I think he is moving on. I don’t think Long has done enough to earn another deal. Willy may get another 12 months as third choice/ coach. Djenepo on his way, one year left. That leaves fit for August and in contract as McC, KWP, Stephens, Lyanco, Salisu (if not sold), Perraud, Small, JWP (if not sold), Romeu, Stuart Arm, Smallbone (sigh, loan please), Adams. Wow, can see the above happening quite easily so Crocker is looking for a lot more than a youth GK, MC and striker! Keeping Ralph will not the cheap option plus new back room team. Hope the club already has a few deals ready to announce at the end of the month as the free agent market will be a dogfight.
