Passing to KDB, Foden and Bernardo instead of Longstaff and Miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see a few of the players starting to flick the v’s behind howe’s back when he’s not watching. Worrying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's probably the right decision, but I will hate every second of it. I can’t see how we can replace him with a player of equal quality for less money.

I doubt they look at it like that . They can leave to play in better teams and make more dosh is probably how they look at it . That doesnt make them anything other than realistic btw . Add in the managers limitations and the club being hamstrung in terms of spending in order to get better players around Bruno Isak etc and its a no brainer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s our finishing position, you honestly believe the likes of Bruno, Isak, Botman and whoever else wouldn’t want to move on if a major European club put in an acceptable offer for them in the summer?

Don't see any of them wanting to join Chelsea unless the money is so ridiculous even the staunchest Newcastle fan would leave us in favor of them. Same for PSG due to the quality of games outside of CL. Any of the other clubs any player would want to join at the moment, but I don't see any of them spending and offering either us, Bruno or Isak what it would take to price them away.

Yeah, I do believe that. It's not like we're getting fucking relegated to the championship is it? Liverpool didn't get CL this season. How many of their top players left in a huff? Chelsea a mid table team can retain and pick up whomever they want. Arsenal finished 8th twice in a row under Arteta did they have to sell their best players because they didn't want to be there? These are players who are playing for an ambitious club, which they are well aware of, and every player getting interviewed is always bragging about how good group they are. They are getting paid a lot more than what they would get elsewhere in Europe and play in the best league in the world™. One season outside of CL won't scare them away.

NWMag Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 The logic of them leaving if we don’t get Europe makes no sense, as we weren’t in Europe when they signed for us and I’m sure they weren’t expecting CL so soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I think in each of their cases they will be wanting to see how ambitious the club are in the transfer window and how each of their games can go to another level. Isak will be wanting better service and more chances and Bruno will be wanting to play in the number 8 role. The answer has in a change of system. Play with a proper number 6 and two fullbacks that can push up. Edited March 12 by aussiemag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to have to disagree with pretty much all of that. The clubs you reference are among the biggest in the world as well, which I don’t think is a fair comparison to our situation. If an acceptable offer arrives from an elite European club, they will leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
