The Fun Factory Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Well he hasn't been great but he is a international player who is a squad filler. If we don't replace him we could be very stretched player wise at the end of the season with injuries and suspensions if we want to go deep in at least one of the cup competitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 1 hour ago, CVByrne said: I'd loan him out for 2nd half of season, he's a good PL player and he can prove that. I'd loan him to Everton on Palace or someone similar. His value would be more in a summer market after playing half a season. I think that anyone loaning him would know what they would be getting and previous loans have shown that value seldom increases after a season, more likely if he's played a part in keeping them up, they might look somewhere else the following season and leave the player with us. 22 hours ago, KevinRichardsonsMoustache said: He has sufficient premier league experience that we should be looking to sell him in January. However, the sort of clubs that would want him might hedge their bets if they're in a relegation scrap so a loan might suit everyone. Forest, Fulham or Bournemouth awaits, Leander. I suspect a loan would suit the loaning club more than us, we would save half a season's wages (or a proportion of it) but I would want an obligation to buy, we have been stung too often in the past with open ended loans. 1 hour ago, CVByrne said: I'd loan him out for 2nd half of season, he's a good PL player and he can prove that.

Would they be able to agree any deals in their situation or have the cash to make it happen? In general, a loan has to be a positive result for us, imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaVilla Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Wait until the end of the window and sell him to a slightly desperate relegation threatened team. Forest, sheff utd, Everton etc. More importantly get the upgrade in first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 He probably wouldn't get in the Palace, Everton, or Forest starting elevens, only way he should be going to any of those clubs is if it's a permanet transfer, because if he went there on loan chances are he would hardly play and just come back to us, not because he's a bad player, those clubs just happen to already have decent options in central midfield, you could probably argue that he would have a chance of getting more game time if he stopped here than go to Everton or Palace, we have better starters, but they have more depth in central midfiel, as as it stands he's an injury away from Kamara to being in our starting eleven, as a two man midfield of Tielemans and Luiz won't offer enough defensive cover against most Premier League sides.

VillaChris Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Just now, sne said: Rumored to Everton apparently. They're losing Gana in January to the AFCON and he'll be away for 6 weeks as Senegal will be one of the favourites. Can see that being an early January loan or permanent for low fee if their FFP allows. Probably loan is better as we're playing them middle of January.

CVByrne Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Sale to Everton would be good for both clubs, or loan with obligation to buy. We're covered in CM with McGinn playing there when Kamara drops to RCB in possession. So with Tielemans, Luiz, McGinn, Kamara and if needed we can play Chambers or JJ maybe.

Tomaszk Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Money up front would probably be wise from the Ev, and that's no going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
