STM Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Schar will be reassured by the fact that Howe has played him in so many games. Giving him a longer contract is no big deal either, as he's got plenty of years left in him. Howe isn't the sort of manager who would make a player stay against their will, if they weren't getting enough game time. He could sign a contract extension and still be sold next summer if he wasn't happy. If makes no sense for him leave now, when we are finally on the cusp of something.

Papavasiliou Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The amount of turnover we're likely to see over the next few seasons is definitely gonna need us to sell players and get a bit back for them to help FFP. Absolutely fine tying him down for a few years now and probably selling for a few mil next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I was sat perfectly in line with his pass to Almiron. Not sure the camera being in the Milburn did enough justice for how good it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) Ideally 4th choice in 24 months. makes me think it’s best to let him go. But not mad at a 1 or 2 year extension. Edited April 12, 2022 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 In my opinion is ideal for this year needs to be sold in the summer lacks pace and error prone tries to play without breaking a sweat ideal player for a club happy to tread water in the premier league - not for a team trying to push into the top 8 ps - this is only my opinion I would also sell Lascelles dan burn ideal for 3rd choice if we can’t sign two centre halfs (keep schar) one more season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Aye let's sell all of our centre backs and sign 4 new ones, that's sensible practice. We need a squad of players, Schar is more than capable of being in our first team. By all means sign players who can compete for his place but don't let him walk out the door, madness. FWIW, Burn is the weaker of the pair anyway but he's flavour of the month so it will take people a while to see it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dat ambition I never said sell all the centre backs I would try and sign two new centre backs Keep Burn / Keep Fernandez Sell schar / Sell Lascelles / Give Dummett to BLYTH Spartans All - my opinion Schar is the best footballer out of the current crop of defenders but I still think he lacks speed / error prone and tries to play without breaking sweat (looking cool) which to be fair (he does look cool) but I would look to push into the top 8 and make two central defenders a priority if we can only sign one (no harm in keeping him an extra year for the sex appeal) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I agree with signing competition and I agree he lacks pace but whole sale changes to the squad the club have made clear aren't going to happen, they are planning to evolve the squad. Considering how often even the most well run club sign a centre back who turns out to be rubbish there's no way we should let a player who is performing well leave. Contract extention should be a priority. A centre back to provide high standard competition should be signed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 We need to sign quite a few players, aye. But let’s not underestimate the risk of ruining team spirit and the bond within the squad now. Don’t want to disrupt it too much by replacing an entire defence or midfield in just one go. Dont get me wrong, we need to be slightly ruthless. But replacing every starting player in various areas isn’t the right way to go, plus we wont sign that many players. We’d be looking at maybe 8 players then, maybe 9 for the 1st team. Get one top quality CB and CM and striker and a RW to begin with. Then maybe add a more attacking or defensive cm depending on the CM of choice above. After this we could add some depth maybe depending on who leaves and what’s available on the market. Schär will get playing time next season and rightly so. Even if not starting. Having said that, if someone gets sold then we might also get a promising cab jn to fill up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Only a couple of years ago Fulham spent a huge amount of money on coming up from championship replacing a large amount of the squad and they flopped hard. It's really not simple just buying new players every position and expecting it to work out. We have a good team spirit, it needs to be carefully managed not binned for sake of spending a lot of money. I suspect we will be looking at signing 3 or 4 first teamers max and the rest of the signings will be young prospect squad players. It will also depend on how many we can ship out and we may struggle to get rid of some Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar is far better with the ball and that's clearly Howe's preference. He's also 33... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I'm happy happy for all of our CBs to go except for Schar and Burn, we definitely could use him in some capacity next year and players with his quality on the ball are hard to find in that position.

JonBez comesock Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 To be honest it’s just my opinion I understand it’s not easy to bring in better players that immediately improve the team I have a hunch that this summer will be better than expected in terms of quality signings…..as it’s a fresh slate it all depends on availability and price and how everything falls into place I can see us trying to improve in all positions and it will probably all depend on who we can get signed / agreements on first and how much they cost…which will potentially change other options as time goes on either way it’s going to be very exciting / interesting. We need to improve massively to compete with the top 6 but probably not as much to get into the top 10 (as our current form is probably good enough) but I can see a lot of teams trying to push on next season !

LV Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Exactly, @JonBez comesock I’m not against getting a couple of new quality CBs in but it’s Lascelles and Fernandez that should go, not Schär Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
