sne Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Some potentially interesting news for next season, regardless of which division we'll end up in as the AFCON (African cup of nations) has been moved from January 2021 to January 2022 instead. Was a expected solution with the already congested schedule but now we know for certain that our African players will not be missing for roughly a month or so next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think that's a critical time after a usual long December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One even ran off to Qatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that's embarrassing is the way we are playing and going down with a whimper. Bottom 5 have earnt 3 points since the restart and we got 2 of them - We are all just as bad as each other ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but survival is in our hands now. We can't keep relying on others not picking up points and I think that will change over the next couple of games. If we carry on as we are we will not pick up enough points. We are now in a position where we must get points off the better teams, something we have failed to do all season and not looking remotely like we are capable of it at the moment. We royally screwed up not getting 4 or 5 points from Bournemouth x 2, Watford, Newcastle and Southampton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will depend on how much we get for Jack and who ever else they come knocking for. Also hope we don’t repeat past mistakes by simply trying to spend loads.

By selling Jack, McGinn and Luiz it's likely we will get back what we spent in the summer. But i would be surprised if we spend more than 30-40 mil in the summer.

I just don’t think we will get enough money for those players to really go for it next season but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 If we can get 60m for grealish and sell mings for like 35m thats alone is 95m alone. Really we only need to spend around 30m as prices will be lower due to the corona. I do think if we remove Smith we have a great chance of coming back up as no leeds wba and brentford/fulham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
