Just reading the Eales interview in the Athletic, a bit less sensationalist but it's the same drum they've always been banging.

[Super Duper Branko Strupar]

The actual article is less sensationalist/suggestive than the tweet as well. Nothing people didnt already know.

Sure about that? 

Unless the party line on Barnes has changed - the latest is that they originally thought he could avoid the surgery, but he reaggravated the toe in training.

 

In the event that the surgery is indeed required/the pain doesn't subside, it'll be another 3-4 months before Barnes is back.

[HaydnNUFC]

Hate Craig Hope, me. Lock him in his back garden with a radgie XL Bully.

[timeEd32]

God I hate Craig Hope.

 

Asked if one of Bruno Guimaraes, Sven Botman or Alexander Isak would be sold in the summer, Eales said: ‘It’s difficult to hypothesise but, if we’re offered £1billion for one of those players, then no-one could argue against that making sense.

 

‘If we’re going to get to where we want to get to, at times it is necessary to trade your players. It is counter-intuitive and part of the inherent system of PSR that there is an incentive to trade your players, if you want to re-invest.’

 

So, every player has a price? "Correct"

Craig Hope @craighope_DM

 

Darren Eales says club are PENNILESS

 

Club may have to open as a MCDONALDS’ RESTAURANT in order to become profitable 

 

ROLL UP ROLL UP ALL PLAYERS ARE FOR SALE

 

Barnes may or may not be DEAD

seems very up in the air when he is back

[STM]

Just watched his interview and if you don't think we are selling Bruno in the summer well.....

[Mazzy]

Yearning for the days 20 years in the past where I didn't see or hear the words FFP a hundred times a day. It's gone from being an interesting curiosity to an infuriating obstacle and now I've just become numb to it all.

Key word for me: reinvest. Onwards and upwards 

[Upthemags]

Rly not bothered by talks of needing to sell one of our stars - the brain trust is smart enough to determine whether any sum offered will be sufficient to replace said player with even greater talent in return.

 

Players like Bruno, who have become a "brand name" so to speak, will cost suitors a healthy premium. Only helps us in the long term.

Puts me in mind of Keegan with a dodgy polo neck on the steps of st James after Cole was sold. We get sir Les and Ginola. Worked out nicely. The Cole was a benchmark in English transfer deals too. Set the ball rolling for the madness we see now to a degree. Not entirely but it was a pivotal moment. 

[The College Dropout]

It will most likely be Bruno for that release clause.

I've since learnt Keegan and Cole simply had a falling out. That was the main driver of the transfer. Not some grand plan to improve the squad.

 

These lot won't make an emotional decision one way or the other.

Bye bye first season.

No it will be a purely business decision that will drive us onwards and upwards over the trajectory of their plan and vision for us!

FFP protecting the European cartels...

[Whitley mag]

Bruno out, McTominay in, Eddie Howe’s Brexit Mags.

 

Contract extensions for Ritchie, Dummett, Lascelles and Wilson to protect dressing room chemistry.

 

Can’t see anyone complaining about 40% rise in season tickets this summer.

[vicente_14]

Craig Hope is dreadful, always sh*t stirring, always negative, always looking for the angle to destabilise, awful man.

A lot of the Phillips talk is pushed by Hope saying we need a DM as if he is a tactical genius first, and journalist second. Howe has previously mentioned he likes to play with three central midfielders who are completely interchangeable as opposed to the fixed positioning of a DM as it gives more freedom, flexibility and options. Tonali was the perfect fit for this, as he has lots of attributes to suit this, along with Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff and Willock, all tremendous athletes ideally suited to an interchangeable three man midfield, where they can all perform the various functions without ever being limited to one role.

And whilst we may well sell Bruno in the summer if a huge offer arrives, in the Eales interview he only says we 'might' need to look at player trading (which could also include ridding salaries from the books or fringe players, Dummett, Manquillo, Gillespie, Fraser, Hayden, Ashby, Hendrick etc), he also hints at increased revenues through commercial deals and the current set of financials are not inclusive of Adidas, Sela or Champions League revenue, so should be funds available in the summer, just hopefully not on the likes of Solanke or Phillips.
