He must be fucking sick seeing woy rock up again. I think Eddie would work wonders with him. Watch a lot of Palace and nope to both him and Olise. Unless we can get them for under £20m. It's Zaha & Anderson for me. Palace won't go down mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Karius staying as 2nd/3rd choice makes perfect sense but Dummett staying in the 25-man squad seems stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Yeah, can’t really get my head round Dummett. His injury record is pretty much the worst in our squad. We have Burn, Targett, Lewis (who I’m sure we’ll try to shift) but the sounds are that we’re going to be in for a more technically gifted and attacking left back so I’m not sure what Dummett being here does for us. Anyway, it’s no major deal either way and Howe can obviously be trusted to make whatever decisions he wants to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Aye, yet another year of Dummett seems a bit mad, like. I could understand the one-yearer just gone because why not? We weren't signing another LB beyond Targett, he can cover CB, and he's probably a good dressing room character. But he's hardly so much as seen the pitch this season. He doesn't even have 20 appearances in the last three seasons! Why retain him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 He won’t be keeping him to play him. It’ll just be because he’s a geordie, knows what the club means and as an older head to help the younger players. Think Howe is known for this approach isn’t he?

nemtizz Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Tiny bit insane to renew him as a cheerleader even if he has been a positive influence behind the scenes. Though honestly I don't really care as long as he doesn't play at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't moan if he doesn't play much and is versatile as a LB and an emergency CB. This is obviously assuming he is fit. If we get to Europe, he will be playing more games and buys us another season to build up the squad in other key wages and he won't be on much I would imagine. As much as I admire Ritchie for everything he has done for us, he shouldn't be anywhere near the squad. He's only getting games due to Fraser being banished to the Under 21's.

Well, just most defensive stats on there, he shows up well. Andersen has decent numbers on there. Albeit playing in a negative and defensive team. He’d be a quality addition.

KingArthur Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 I am pretty sure Dummett is needed for HG-rule? How many players we have that are not club trained? Lewis has sell on value, and neither of them will play much + Dummett's wages are most likely a lot less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need 8 players that are HG, but HG relates to any FA qualified team, not just your own youth system. So we probably don’t need Dummett for that at present. It is something we need to think about going forward though as the majority of our HG players are either not really good enough or in the latter stages of their career. Probably partly why the likes of McTominay are of interest to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have Lascelles, Trippier, Gordon, Wilson, Ritchie, Lewis, Targett, Pope, Murphy, Longstaff x2, Ashby, Anderson and Burn who are either homegrown or don't count towards the criteria due to age.

ponsaelius Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) In Europe you also need four club grown players of those 8. If you don't have them you just have to name a smaller squad. At the moment we've only got Longstaff and Dummett so if Dummett went we'd have to have 3 empty spots in European squad (22/25).
