MrBojangles6 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 if the 40mill figure is ANYWHERE near correct for players, i'd love to try and bring in Cook and Taylor from Leeds, Dack from Gillingham and i agree with trying to get someone "like" Remy in on loan for a year to try and get us out of this league at first attempt.

sharkyvilla Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 If we can keep the likes of Amavi, Ayew, Gana and Adama plus spend £30m then we're laughing. Not sure we can do a total rebuild on that much though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I' get rid of Richards Gabby Hutton Guzan Gil Bacuna and Sanchez then if we can keep the rest I'd add McCormack, Dunk, Knockeart maybe try for Kalinic again. Then we'd need a couple of RB's does Byram get a game at West Ham?? We have a few out on loan who can fill out the squad as its a slog playing 46 games. Gardner Bennett Steer and Robinson can all be pushing for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we can do a total rebuild on that much though. i don't think having a new manager and owners will make that much of a difference to the above players, there is a slim chance some players might stick around, but most will be taking a pay cut and believe it is their god given right to play in the premiership/champs league for 40-100K a week or for another top european league. Their agents will be smelling money and pimping them out to all and sundry. Apparently Ayew's agent has already talked to Wet Spam and Crystool Palace about getting him a move.

Johnnyp Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Doesn't change my view on who we need next year but after the money tone says we'll have I'd like to think targets will be more attainable. Mowatt, Cook, Rico Henry ( if Amavi goes ) Guys who could handle that division and have the potential to improve further. If we don't need to sell amavi, gana and ayew and could persuade them to stay it be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Why would Amavi go? In fact why would some of our better players now leave should we want them to stay? It's not like they are going to move to CL clubs or the top clubs in this country, Bacuna aside obviously. I've heard Swansea, wet spam and crystal palace mentioned for Ayew. Apart from being premier league teams they do not have much more on us do they? and if our intentions now as a club are clear and honest and as exciting as suggested maybe those players may feel it is worth sticking around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine their wages will be that much different - perhaps now that we have (potentially) a bit more financial muscle, their drop in salary might not be so much. So less incentive for them to want to move away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just hopefully get rid of the toxic dead wood too though. Don't want any of them thinking they can steal a living next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure about that as it's hard to be effective without service. Absolutely battered the championship the season before last with Blackburn. 19 goals was it? Might be worth giving him a shot?

With The Doctor saying it's going to take two weeks for a manager, we're realistically looking at a month until the squad is starting to be shaped.

To be fair I think there are some decent ones badly let down by the shite around them. I think some of the likes of Amavi, Ayew, Traore and even Veretout would have looked much better in better teams or if we had the option to bring them on not throw them straight into a shit team struggling in the premier league.

But we've been here before, no point going in circles. Selling would also help bring in cash to sign players.

A young defender in a new team and new league making mistakes for a bottom half team with absolute dreadful defenders with him? Shocker 2. Ayew "didnt try" (pretty sure he did try. he just looked shit) for about first 7 games or whatever it was. Looked class above our players and the only one trying after that If any team is to sign ayew it should be everton imo. Think he would suit them Edited May 19, 2016 by gharperr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
