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.

Not necessarily, he's not had a chance yet, so we don't know if Howe does trust him or not. He was sent on loan before we lost Tonali and 3 other midfielders.

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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 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. Edited January 18 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing to help with FFP is to sell Longstaff - say we buy Ederson - he is surplus to requirements imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

khay Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Lascelles going would be the same as jonjo and wood going last year. Leaves us short but needed due to ffp. However id rather him as 3rd choice CB over Burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see anyone paying £80m for Longstaff. Which is what he’s worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
