John Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 18 hours ago, duke313 said: He said so? Yeah, a year and half ago. You’ve no idea what may or may not have changed since Sunday, or what could change between now and the reminder of the season. I think Emi appreciates that he was wanted by us as a first choice keeper, I also think that he appreciates that had he not joined us, been a regular PL starter with us and improved during his time with us, he might well have not been Argentina's starting keeper at the World Cup. I also think he appreciates that we like him, in much the same way that the Argentine fans do. I think he will be happy to stay with us and I'm sure an improved contract will be put in front of him very soon, as should be the case given his status as a World Cup winner. Other so called "bigger clubs" will be sniffing around, but I don't see our owners as motivated sellers. I expect us to soon to be among the top 6 - 8 PL clubs and for Emi to play a major role in that. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 We don't really have that many players to move on by the end of the summer window. Sanson, Traore, Nakamba, probably Chambers and Olsen too. We'll release Wesley as he's only a year left in summer and Guilbert contract will expire. We have Hause and Davis who hopefully will have teams willing to sign them for a fee. Hause needs to get fit and playing though. Decision on Coutinho would need to be made. Probably same goes for Ings as he'd only have a year left. I'd say there is scope for 4/5 players coming in over next two windows with those above departing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Ings, maybe extend for a year as he fits what kind of footy Emery plays and with another main striker will be a great option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Still like to see what Emery can do with him, if he gets him playing like those initial games then there is a player we can use before he gets shipped out unless we get an offer we can’t refuse which seems unlikely Edited December 22, 2022 by nick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted December 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 22, 2022 20 hours ago, Vancvillan said: Yeah, I agree on Konsa. Mings I think it'd be more but not double or anything. Either way, counting Emi B as "about the same" and Ings / Digne as a loss, that's 7/8 profitable transfers from the 10 players who started our last game (excluding youth). Not exactly a bad record. Totally, compare to most of the MON business, or actually nearly all of our business since I can remember... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to throw one more into the mix, we might move on one or two of the older youth prospects - possibly Archer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah possibly. I think given Archers contract length we'd oan him deals for next 18 months rather than sell him in summer. I suspect he would be worth a decent loan fee to a top Championship side next summer window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty left in the tank and his goal contributions per 90 are always high even when things haven't been great at the club over last 18 months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I think Ings is one of the prime options to sell. Doesn't really fit into the tactical set up, getting old, another season and will have to let him go for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted December 22, 2022 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2022 I think given our lack of depth up front, I wouldn't be selling either of Watkins or Ings until we've got another couple in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give a 32 year old Danny Welbeck 60K a week and a 34 year old Adam Lallana 90k a Week Ings would be a big signing for them! they so badly need a striker.

No but nobody is expecting them to either. He will have book value of £8mil left and he only has 1 year on his contact left at 125k. A £10m fee to us and a 3 year deal on 80-90k would seem reasonable. That's if we wanted to sell and they wanted to buy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
