Minhosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Presume we'll be desperate to shift Mitro for a fee as well to supplement money available, should have already happened. Obviously they'll be desperate to get the likes of colback off the wage bill still too. I think there's a few he'd happily shift but, the difference with Rafa is that he doesn't trust them to replace the outgoers, so he'd rather hold his nerve. The other yes men would have all sold a few by now and we'd be stuck with a lesser squad come 1st Feb but Rafa is much too wise for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Such a prick chastising Rafa for that Champo transfer window. We won the fucking league. Only just would be his argument, despite our apparent limitations and he gave Rafa fuck all to spend in Jan to address them, or prepare for the following season. Seen something the other day which summed up everything; our line-up against Swansea was almost the same as the one that played Brentford, only differences being Yedlin for Anita, Diame for Colback Atsu for Gouffran All players we had in the same season...

Yorkie Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 'Only just' doesn't matter. He oversaw something absolutely metal like 35 transfers in a couple of months, and built a squad that won the league. Then, the players who didn't have a long-term future were moved on, either sold or loaned out. Gamez the apparent exception, but his contract's up at the end of this season init?

Guest Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If the budget is low and we could get £15m for Gayle and then loan Sturridge/Batshuayi for a percentage of that then I'd do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If the budget is low and we could get £15m for Gayle and then loan Sturridge/Batshuayi for a percentage of that then I'd do it. Not sure about selling Gayle to get Sturridge, mind. Batshuayi aye but with Sturridge's fitness he could get injured for a long period and we'd only have Joselu to replace him as Rafa won't play Mitrovic even if he isn't sold. Perez you could play there but he isn't exactly a recognised striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'd take a gamble on getting 4-5 goals in 9 games due to injury from Sturridge than another 3 in 20 from Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
