Dokko Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Think transfer rumours will intensify in quality and regularity with every point won. Going to be a wild summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Clark was our best defender in the Championship. Under Benitez he rarely let us down, popped up with a goal every now and then in the last few seasons. Still needs to be moved on, shouldn't be anywhere near the PL now. Isaac Hayden I'd wish nowt but the best, always grafted and fully gets the club, but again he's probably not cut out for where the club wants to go. Almirón has been mismanaged by Bruce and showed great promise under Benitez. But if we're not going to play him as a 10 he shouldn't play at all so probably it's time he moved on. Lewis I've always had faith would come good, but if Howe doesn't think he's good enough that's good enough for me. Gayle played a pivotal role in getting us back up, looked oft toothless without him. Not cut out for the PL and is over 30. Others I'm not overly arsed about. That list should be longer tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sums it up better then anything I could put Surprised Ritchie isn't on the list, but he could be a team leader off the pitch, and if we're anticipating a 6 to 8 player turn over, it makes sense he's staying as a "utility" player.

Big River Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 wish all outgoings the best. will be nice to see a few them do well in top Championship teams. not a single one will end up with a PL move, which speaks volumes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 There was another howler from Tarkowski at the weekend, so I hope that interest is now dead and buried. You'd think it would be after Big Dan Burn's majestic start, but just in case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Mad to think of the folk on this thread having meltdowns all the way through that January window. If we don't sign such and such we are down.

STM Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Yeah I had been banging the Tarkowski drum but I've now seen the light. He's just not good enough as a footballer, he's very much in the Lascelles mould. Both Schar and Burn are much better players and there is an arguement that at least one of them won't be starting for us next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 You look at the team right now and only a striker is what sticks out as something we desperately need. Obviously other areas need to be improved if we want to move up the table (a top quality centre half and a defensive midfielder), but relying on Wilson and Wood next year can’t happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately, as Howe predicted, the players who were already here are as key to us staying up as the new signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Man Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/soccer/arid-40811415.html Few weeks old now and not exactly a galactico but worth a mention. I actually go to Galway Utd games regularly, good young player who has improved massively in short space of time and definitely got a bit of class but is very one footed, would be a gigantic step up for him obviously. Celtic have also had scouts at last couple of games I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, all of them leaving would help reinforce the feeling we’re an ambitious club on the up. If we were able to coup anywhere near 25 million for that lot I'd delighted. Ritchie and Lascelles should follow them out the door. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caveat I would add is we do need a squad which people seem to forget and for that reason I’d have no issue Almiron staying if he was happy to and to a lesser extent Hayden. Lewis is a strange one. Looked lightweight going forward and not switched on defensively. Looked better under Howe but the timing of his injury has been very unfortunate for his career here. Would probably give him another year here possibly to challenge Targett. Edited March 7, 2022 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Unfortunately Rashford brings more baggage than Mary Poppins. I like him but anything from Man Utd these days seems toxic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
