If it's between Karius and Gillespie, then Gillespie has to go. If he couldn't get in ahead of Karius for the Cup Final, then he's never going to play.

Stifler Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Hasn’t Karius’ girlfriend asked him to leave us? No doubt Newcastle is too far away from her mates. I honestly think Dubs needs to be shifted off. I know he’s been on the bench when he came back, but that whole situation around the cup final was ridiculous. The fact that he never wanted to fight for his place as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillespie helps with homegrown for the CL squad though Unless the plan is to get Krul/Forster as they are club trained too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be miles better off trying to get Krul back, as I’m not sure Forster would be an option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Yeah Gillespie isn't club grown so doesn't really help at all for a CL squad. Both Krul/Forster would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves this club, hes found a new gear this season. Hes great in the locker room. Endless work rate. I think I'd like to keep him for congested schedule, cup matches, 20-30min cameo off the bench to provide energy and see out matches. He carried us for a month. I think of all the players in the original post, I wouldnt sell any of them. Keep Callum as a bench ST. Keep Schar as depth at CB. I dont think those 3 are the type of player we need to sell with their character, work rate, price, etc. I prefer we cut all the dead wood mentioned in the post just above me. In football manager terms "sell for any price". We could easily have 60-70 matches to play next season. If it came down to it I would rather let ASM go than Miggy. Well, I’d expect that we are in for Diaby or somebody of the predigree. I’d sell ASM as well. Rather play JoeLinton or Isak there anyway. ASM is too injury prone and doesn’t defend from the front well enough. We should upgrade both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingArthur Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 38 minutes ago, maybe_next_year said: Despite many of our players having an amazing season, there is still plenty of deadweight we need to shift. Richie, Longstaff, Dummett, Karius & Gillespie leaving will help get our wages down and make some room. However that still leaves us with Kraft, Lewis, Manquillo & Fraser, who I cant see getting much if any game time next year who must all be on decent amounts. I can see one of Manquillo/Kraft staying, but no need to have both still in the squad. The big issues is besides those two I can't imagine anyone wanting to take the other two off our hands. To be honest both Manquillo and Krafth are most likely very cheap. Maybe we get a nominal fee from Fraser, if he wants to go somewhere and take a pay cut. Also Ciaran Clark's contract is up, dunno if we have played some of his wages still. Hendrick most likely leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagMal Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I would rather keep Karius than Dubs, not sure why Eddie keeps picking him as the sub keeper when he clearly want to be away and you would think Karius would be happy to be the number 2 ?♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloydianMag Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Given that we’re almost certain to have a UCL campaign, I’m hoping that they announce incoming players quickly and have them at the start of pre season. Pre season and the American tour will help bed them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
