All need to go in order to make way for new players. Can't believe we're having trouble shifting so many. Surely they'd prefer first team football and a cut of a transfer fee - even if it's to the championship, the fees are still high. Obviously people will say it's due to silly wages that they won't get elsewhere, which is possible, but that's an awful attitude to have and I'd chuck them right off in the reserves.

Guest Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Gamez will stay I reckon. Can see him being a leader in the dressing room to the new signings from Spain in particular. Handy 3rd choice to both full-back spots too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'd keep Gamez, if only because I don't think we'd be able to find someone on a budget who ticks both the beard and the sexy forrin boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Think the majority of those players will be eventually be offloaded but at the very end of the window. That'll mean their values might be lower than what we expect now but crucially there will be little time for Rafa to get players in unless we already have deals ready to be concluded once players go out. Could be worse if we only get them out on loan as opposed to permanent sales. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Interested to see us announce our squad this week. Who will be left out and whether we leave gaps for new signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I thought Ashley claimed he didn't get involved in the recruitment process? He just basically says "there's the budget, you spend it how you like". Is that just shit reporting or is he more hands on than we are led to believe?

Guest Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Can't see him wanting to pay dead wages on the likes of Lazaar, Saivet, Riviere and Krul who likely won't even be registered. That's probably around £10m in wages a season tied up alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe a word that comes out of Ashley's gob? I believe he only cares about the money. If the wage bill is £60m on 25 players or 35 players, why would he care?

STM Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wage bill has to be the issue, (other than Ashley being a cunt cut in general). It can't help having Haidara, Krul (fair wedge), Lazaar, Riviere and probably a couple more on first team wages, who have no future at the club. Most people would take the small gamble that we are likely to get shot of most of them before the end of the month, so we are ok to go out and sign players but not our lot.

huss9 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 More likely we'll have to loan them out and probably subsidise their wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Forgot Haidara. Those players who will never play for us again (throw in Hanley and maybe Colback too), and we're probably looking £15m a year doing nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Krul, Hanley, Good, Haidara, Lazaar, Saivet and Riviere are the ones that absolutely need to be moved on ASAP, with Colback not far behind them. Provided we're able to do this and get some incoming business underway, then the likes of Gamez, De Jong and Mitrovic could be for the chop too. However, things have really moved at a snail's pace in terms of outgoings and we're left hoping that teams start to get desperate at the end of the window. Save for another summit between Ashley and Benitez, whereby the latter convinces the former to extend the overdraft or to underwrite more debt in the very short-term (i.e. less than 12 months), then we're looking a bit stuck. If the money's not there and we don't have the ability to take on more debt, what can we do other than to back-load deals like we did with Merino? Not every club is going to go for that, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Was Danny Ward any good for Huddersfield last season? Thought we'd be lazily linked to him this summer on a loan deal if we're in for a keeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
