There’s a shed load of players that need binning in the summer 

 

Dummett

Hendrick

Ritchie 

Hayden

Fraser

Manquillo

Targett

 

(Longstaff and Wilson)

Fraser seems to be doing canny at Soton, hopefully enough to earn him a permanent move in the summer regardless of whatever division theyre in.

We can't replace all of those though, so it would ridiculous to let them all leave. Some are out of contract in summer anyway. 

 

Longstaff isn't going anywhere while Howe is here, unless we get a crazy offer in for him and that's not going to happen.

Outside of the bottom two who would obviously be replaced regardless what exactly says we cant get rid of the others? Aside from Targett(who would be replaced naturally) none have contributed anything worthwhile(ok Dummett in the cup but still) and cost us about £400k a week for absolutely nowt.

I don't think we'll sign anyone now and I'm kind of in three minds about whether I'm okay with that. 

 

On one hand, there's no danger of being anything lower than upper mid-table imo, getting a short term player in now could be detrimental to who we're able to sign in the summer, and it'll take a player a while to get up to speed anyway

 

vs

 

With Joelinton now being injured the opportunity to really push for Europe is threatened, so we need someone in

 

vs

 

Is it really that important that we get into Europe in some form next season and might we be better off being able to go fully balls to the wall in the league and domestic cups next season?

Nice phrase ? can only get it to make sense in my head if Speedway related!

Not saying we CANT, I'm saying we shouldn't. The position we're in now with injuries is exactly why you need depth in the squad. It's far too expensive to replace 6 squad players whilst also upgrading on the players who are current first teamers (Miggy, Schar, Burn). 

 

So that would be 9 signings minimum, needed in the summer. We seemingly cant even afford one signing right now and those players listed are worth fuck all so we can't bank any meaningful cash from them to make up for their loss.

Where are the 6 squad players? Aside from Longstaff, Targett and Wilson the rest have contributed a mammoth 398 minutes of football this season. 107 of those in the Premier League. Im sure the kids coming through can cover such a massive burden

I was of the understanding it's called the "i" because it's an Independent spin off. 

See its owned by Hitler's Daily Fail now tho. 

My old fella gets it and he's quite progressive for an 86yr old so maybees Rothermere doesn't interfere in this one

Not much spin on the articles, just reporting. Plus I like minesweeper and can usually do the crossword. Job’s a good un!

If it helped with FFP I wouldn't be too against it. Tino first choice LB, would still have Burn & Dummett as cover for CB and LB.

I agree that Howe would be against selling Longstaff, can't see it happening either because the lad would be reluctant to leave. But if we are talking about selling Bruno to free up funds then you would think if we got a half decent fee for Longstaff it would be taken out of Howe's hands.

Can’t see anyone paying £80m for Longstaff. Which is what he’s worth.
