Decky Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) The days of Man Utd taking our best players are over like. City or Liverpool and I'd be worried but not any of the others. Edited November 8, 2022 by Decky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 It's so cute how there's still some clinging to the old perception that the Big Six can buy our players, when reality is probably moving in the opposite direction. Not sure if there are any Man U players I actually want though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a player here starting every week leave us for Man Utd? We're up there competing with them this season as it is nevermind before we make improvements in the transfer window. After the next couple of windows Man Utd will be a side step for players. Man Utd are living off pure reputation and past glories, on a footballing level we're closing the gap to them with every window and the thought of someone like Almiron going to them is laughable to me. What would he go for, European football? Its likely we'll have it next season ourselves. Chance of winning silverware? This season yeah on paper, but after this season its as much a good chance here as it is there. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Man Utd aren't a top club because they clearly are. But at the minute I'd have them the 5th or 6th best out of the top 6 and we're already on the fringes of that and you'd fancy us with everything going on bridge the gap quickly.

We are on the up, Man City and Liverpool can only regress really, it depends if they want instant gratification and titles r.e. city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 You have to know when to sell players as well, its something we've never got right (minus Andy Carroll) and something we hopefully do in the future. Dyer, Jenas, Tiote, Cisse & Bellamy spring to mind. If someone comes and offers a record sale for us, we'd really need to consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 He's not going to Man U or anywhere else, but obviously Miggy's agent is going to use this golden run of form to try to get a better contract. At some point we'll happily give him one as well, once he's shown that the goals are here to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 He's only got a year and a half left. We have loads of players in a similar position too. Trippier, Krafth, Schar, Burn, Shelvey, Wood, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashworth will have contingency plans in place in the form of a shadow XI, as he did at BHA to great success. Not at all worried if someone wants to pay through the nose for one of our players. We’re much more about the collective and the process under Howe and Ashworth than about the individual. I also severely doubt a player like Almiron would be able to reproduce this sort of form elsewhere. Howe has basically taylor made a position for him with the likes of Bruno and Trippier playing him in and dovetailing beautifully. At Man U he would soon be warming the bench with Martin. No way he’d even contemplate going for that reason. Not that the rumour is even true of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just had a look, that summer the following players will be out of contract (age in summer 2024): Trippier (33) Manquillo (30) Krafth (29) Schar (32) Lascelles (30) Burn (32) Shelvey (32) Miggy (30) Wilson (32) Wood (32) Wilson has allegedly signed a new deal and it wouldn't be surprising if the new lads had options to extend. But with the age profile of the squad it wouldn't be surprising if a few were moved on leading up to that summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d maybe keep Wilson, Trips, and Burn for squad morale and professionalism but I’d be surprised if any of the others were here. As has been said we’ll need to start bringing in money from somewhere even if it small scale at first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we’ll have moved on a bit by then hopefully, but I’d be keeping Schar around as 3rd or 4th choice CB too, like. It’s not like he’ll be dead. Just 32.

It’s not like he’ll be dead. Just 32. Aye me too as I really like him and he seems a good lad but I think it’s a logical one that he leaves. Certainly his game isn’t based on speed and he’s not played hundreds and hundreds of games so you’d think he’d have a couple more years in him. As you say it all hinges on where we’re at. Sat in mid table and the picture looks a lot different and maybe mood has changed on players. As someone mentioned we’ve never been good sellers but we’re probably a few years of needing to be as we don’t have the churn of talent deep enough in the squad. You’d hope in future for example if Kuol doesn’t make it he’s peddled for £10-20m after a bit loan spell somewhere etc like Chelsea and City manage to do. That’s years off mind. Nice to think about though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Seriously though, Miggy is doing great and the finishing speaks for itself, but like I think Shearer pointed out, a lot of it is down to having Trippier with him on that side and also Eddie's coaching. If he moved to Man Utd he'd just regress back to old Miggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
