Still can't believe Leicester didn't go for Dubravka at some point. Such a no-brainer and it probably would have been the difference for them.

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...

All three have played integral parts in us being in the CL next season, at worst they would be very important squad players who would be playing plenty of games next season as well. It would cost a fortune to replace them when we don't need to. Better to just add two or three really high quality signings and let them fight it out. We don't even need to sell Maxi FFS.

Howe has said ideally he'd like two full elevens. You're talking at least 4-5 signings if that's the case. I'd also say if we're looking to move to the next level, Burn, Longstaff and Miggy are arguably where you start. Taking nothing away from their remarkable season, but they're the weakest links in the first eleven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 ASM is the one we should sell, could get a decent fee. He's often injured and has lost a bit of his spark and pace. Most of the other first team wouldn't be worth selling as the money recouped would be worth less than their contributions over the coming seasons (Schar for example, got a couple seasons left in him, been one of the best defenders in the league, not on crazy wages and we wouldn't get much more than 20 mil for him) Just need our owners to sort out some preposterous commercial deals for over 100mil a season and we're all sorted.

Conjo Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Burn, Longstaff and Miggy are going to be invaluable to us next season. With the league, two domestic cups and one european cup it's simply not sustainable to play the same team like we've done for the most part this season. If we're able to move on squad/reserve players like Krafth (good luck finding a buyer when he hasn't played a single minute since coming back from long term injury though), Manquillo, Lewis, Shortstaff, Dummett, Darlow, Hayden, Hendrick and Fraser then we should do that, but besides them we should only add to the squad not sell anyone.

No arguments there and I'm not debating the merits of selling them, more where we upgrade our strongest eleven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's actually double what you'd get for Schar, so selling him would be nuts. I'm with you on ASM. The only players worth selling would be those we'd get reinvestable sums for - and there aren't many of those on the fringes. There are half a dozen obvious slots to backfill or swap out - we clearly need (and I'm assuming will be going for) a LB, a quicker RCB, a CM (likely a DCM), a creative midfielder, and at least one more wide forward - and potentially a keeper if Dubravka goes. That would give us a full squad with two options for all positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone would be suggesting we sell ASM if he was one of Eddie’s favorites. I wouldn’t be upset if we kept him, but I think it’s more likely than not that he goes.

I think Krafth will be given a chance to be reserve RB when he returns to fitness - he looked good at the end of last season. I'd add Ritchie to that list (if he doesn't want to stay on as a coach).

There's a reason we were after him for a while and my only Hammers fan mate was pissed off when he left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Watched the 7.1 Leicester game today with my son and after David Kelly scored his hat trick.. I told him we sold him the next week. That was one of Keegan's strength in that he knew that we had to keep on improving with each transfer. God's sake we even sold Cole to improve the squad as a whole (didn't believe it at the time mind). So I'm not as worried now about selling a Miggy, ASM or even a Wilson in the knowledge that we will make the right decisions for the club (it's not the Ashley days where we will sell and buy nobody) We have the hope and believe back so sit back and enjoy the summer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
