JWP, Alcaraz, Che, Lyanco , Perraud, Bednarek, Stephens, Tella, Sully , DCC, SA ? I presume Mara is expected to stay ? Nobody seems to be discussing him. edit : actually, nobody is likely to bid more than we owe on Sully, so I guess he is out of that equation . Mara is off I think, him, Perraud and Diallo I believe have already stated they want out JWP I think is gone, as is Orsic.. I think Stephens will stay at Bournemouth too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB and DM are the big holes in our projected squad for next season, and they are both options for both spots (I know "Stephens at DM" is a meme, but Lyanco playing a bit further forward were he could use his technical skills on the ball more and where his defensive shenanigans wouldn't be such a liability would be fun). Plus if we're looking to have CBs who are comfortable on the ball, they'd be better than most. ------------ Onuachu to Luton would be a win-win for all parties. If they're going to attack the Prem with the same game plan as the Championship, he's exactly what they want up front. If we could get half our money back on him that'd be miles better than we did with Carrillo. Nobody is about to give us half our money back on Tall Paul, he has done the square root of naff all since we signed him, our best hope is he turns out to be a mitrovic after a couple of seasons in the championship other wise we can kiss good bye to that transfer fee in it's entirety! Same goes for Orsic anyone thinking we are getting more than a nominal fee for him at the minute is dreaming the lad hasn't looked like a football player since we signed him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smirking_Saint Posted 30 May, 2023 Share Posted 30 May, 2023 FWIW we ‘might’ end up losing Mara and Sulemana on loan deals as opposed to permanent deals, atleast for the first year Shame as Id very much like to keep Sulemana TBH I think we’ll lose about 12 to 15 potentially, all in, but the positives are that I believe we are ready to spend our way back to the premier league… the negatives are we tried to spend our way to stay in it and fucked it up…. So who knows 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 30 May, 2023 Share Posted 30 May, 2023 (edited) We should only be selling JWP, Lavia, Sulemana, and Alcaraz if the offers are too good to refuse.

HarvSFC Posted 30 May, 2023 Share Posted 30 May, 2023 Mara has natural attributes and could be a good player if he wasn't so lazy and bone idle. Lazy and bone idle was our scouting ethos last summer with Aribo and Maitland-Niles also coming in for a manager who wanted a press. I suppose with Mara, having famous parents hasn't helped his cause as he has probably had everything handed to him on a plate all his life. I was hoping Mara could be our 2023 Schneiderlin, where a drop in level could do him the world of good, also has the connection of being young, French and spending good money that would have been better suited going elsewhere at the time. I would be disappointed if he was allowed to leave on loan, as the Championship could be the making of him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id have hoped we’d have told them we want them out, rather than them dictating to us.

Forester Posted 30 May, 2023 Share Posted 30 May, 2023 I am certainly not in the “we can’t sell anyone good, ever” camp. And indeed many only sign for clubs of our profile as stepping stones promised through the recruitment process. However….. I absolutely don’t think we should sell players simply who state they want to go. Ignoring those who we would actively wish to exit, and simply hope for a decent price (Diallo, Orsic etc) I think we should be prepared to face down players, agents and potential buyers unless it makes great sense us to sell. And we are in a much better position than say Leicester as we have many younger players with long contracts who will still fetch good fees in a year or two. So I would say, reluctantly, if JWP and KWP attract a great bid then sell. If not, don’t. Both have played a part in having some good times at the club. Salisu and ABK appear hugely negative about staying, and neither are irreplaceable. So I am fine with those going if price is met. However unless someone offers us ludicrous money (sufficiently early in the window to let us replace) I am happy saying to Lavia, Alcaraz, Kamaldeen etc “tough shit, you are going nowhere”. The same with Tella, Tino etc. I can see us raising £90K to £100K selling players in the previous paragraph which is an enormous amount, in addition to their wages. Just for fear of offending some of our wallflowers we don’t need a fire sale. And if we retain the vast majority and bring in a couple of midfielders I am confident we will be right up there, even if no one can be certain it will be quite enough to go up. I would like to see something like the following in August for first game: Bazanu/McCarthy Tino, Bednarek, Lyanco, Perraud Lavia, new midfielder Kamladeen, Alcaraz, Tella Adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
