When he was playing well he was just really good at winning the ball back IMO. I don't like either story/suggestion Think there will be a mix of the type of signings and fees we pay… a few free transfers, low cost buys or even loans will help pad the squad out with some extra quality and worthwhile options… and we’ll spend much more on a few key additions/upgrades. Our lack of depth and the drop off when reserves came in was exposed. We weren’t great in ECL and need a better squad for CL. We have to sharpen up defensively most of all. Fully trust Unai and Monchi. I think plenty of players who are not up to standard will be moved on, including youngsters. Sure we mean business.

Is he much of an improvement on Dendoncker? Last thing we need is another version of him… it’s one thing having height and strength but we need mobility and composure on the ball… we are a passing team. Surely you saw him loads of Leicester when he was good? he’s really good at getting the ball back and is a unit so he is better than donk but technically he isn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will do their best as they see it, honestly I’d be paying contracts off on some of those players if they are still here in august just to get rid.

Think we’ve already done fairly well to get rid of who we have so far… in the last couple of windows. Previous people in charge really struggled with it but Monchi has fared better in that regard… Sanson’s gone now, Coutinho is likely to go to Brazil (Vasco)… lot of chatter around that. If he’s willing to go, Chambers will get a move. Can we get a good fee for Archer? Olsen’s deal up soon? I’m worried about Dendoncker tbh… his value has plummeted further, limited player, lack of game time… Will we get a decent offer and anyone willing to pay his wages? We have to rehab Hause and get him a move… The bigger sales we could make are Digne, Carlos and Cash. I’m assuming youngsters will continue to be moved on, namely Iroegbunam and Kesler this time.

Yes, but buying club can’t sell him until the next window. A player can have 2 transfers per window, if I’m correct 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Just now, Awol said: @Jas10 can we actually sell Archer this summer if we have to re-sign him from Sheffield? I don’t know the details but I presume so… can’t see why we would have structured the original deal the way we did (I don’t know the details of that either ) if we have to keep him/cannot sell him now. Dunno if it’s dependent on timing, when or how early we get a sale done either. Basically… I don’t know shit Probably not that difficult to find out with a bit of searching online… something might crop up on social media.
