Huth is still decent, but Tuanzebe is more versatile and on much much less wages. this - but also blood Easah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager doesn't pay the bills, secure the financing, or run contract negotiations. The manager sets out the team, and gets them to perform as best he can. On that measure, Bruce took the club from circa 20th in the league to 4th over about eighteen months. You can certainly argue he should have achieved more, and there may be other holes you can pick in his time managing the team, but sorry, the club's financial situation isn't his fault. I imagine the press will consider his tenure, when it ends, in terms of what the club achieved or didn't on the pitch. You make it sound like some kind of miracle. He took over the most expensively assembled squad ever in this division that was only given 11 games to click. I can remember at least 3 occasions in those 18 moths where Bruce went on worse runs over an 11 game period and playing far worse football. Anyway thats for another thread. I really really hope we don't loan other teams youngsters instead of blooding our own again. Seeing Onomah ahead of O'Hare and Johnstone ahead of Steer has not helped going into the following season Edited July 7, 2018 by Junxs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed without him last season so I'd be inclined to sell him on, but not for less than £8 mill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are going to sell our players on the cheap we should at least insist on a sell on clause as part of any deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 So after the announcement we have to sell, in the next few weeks I wouldn’t be surprised to see the following leave: Grealish Kodjia Chester Hogan Adomah That’ll probably bring in £40m ish We will bring some players in, no idea whom, but I’d imagine spending no more than £8m. We’ll still have some high earners here but I can’t see anyone taking them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Even if we sell Jack, Chester, Hourihane, Adomah and Kodjia, we still have a fairly good Championship team. I would expect top half, with good management even play offs. Though if we are in crisis and chaos, that will probably effect the team and anything could happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 If Grealish is sold to Spurs for say 25M, I would also insist on having Harry Winks and Josh Onomah on loan for a season. Two young players who would compliment Green, Davis and RHM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a suggested loan and he may appreciate a full season as our number 10? I maybe talking crap, but I just don't like the way Levy conducts his clubs transfers.

Czechlad Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Jiri Skalak from Brighton is apparently out of favor there. He was a starter for Brighton when they got promoted, and was injured mostly all last season. His wages aren't terrible, and he is a rapid winger.

Players who have done it in the Championship before. Its why I think the Grabban loan signing was such a great option at the time. You don't need to be a Premier League player to do well in the Championship - players like Cameron Jerome, Dwight Gayle etc. have proven that already.
