Direct replacement at RW or a new midfielder though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we fancy Gordon RW and Barnes LW I guess I think these two playing in the wide roles was Howes intention this season anyway. With them swapping sides throughout games. Think our plan before the crazy injuries was to have a very fluid front 3 of Gordon, Isak, and Barnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Think Eales interview last week was taken as (and maybe even meant as) a signal that we're open for business. Just hope we don't get shafted on a fee again the way we were with ASM. Almiron's goal output last season should mean we can argue 30m is a totally fair value for him. Not sure if Al-Shebab are one of the PIF teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcnick Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Good business for miggy TBH, 2.5 years left on his contract so saving just over £7m there and a transfer fee of £15-20m, along with Manquillo‘s £900k saved, should give us the ability to spend in the region of £35m on a player and £100-110k a week in wages, if tripps also goes that ability changes to a £40-50m player and a £20m player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe has repeatedly said we didnt insert a recall clause into his contract with the loan so recalling would be "difficult", didnt say impossible though.

Well perhaps not Tino as we paid big for him, unless he becomes a Bale and adds goals to his game. (It’s a possibility) Don’t think selling these any time soon is on the agenda in any case. Certain young players will be the bedrock of the side going forward (Botman, Isak, Gordon, Tino, Tonali) I’d add Willock to that list as well - all 24 years old and under with their best years ahead of them. These guys should all be in the team when we’re winning the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Do we think that the club is writing off this season and will just keep the money for the summer? I can't see enough good replacements being available in Jan if we lose 3-4 starters. Losing the whole right side of the team is a particular weird one if Miggy and Trippier both go.

The Prophet Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I love Miggy, but it's a good time to sell. Realistically, he's at the peak of his value and he'll more than likely be upgraded sooner rather than later. Massively underappreciated player though, he'll be missed.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 A 20 mil sale of someone like Miggy would allow us to bring in one or two decent players, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 So, from all the 'dubious' reports floating around we're looking to potentially sell Bruno, Isak, Tripps, Miggy and even big Joe? I know a lot of it is press speculation and outright mischief making, but the whole FFP thing just seems to be making any progression/competition ridiculous (I know cynically speaking, that's the point for the 'selfish six'). I just don't see how a turn over all our best players could possibly be good thing, unless they were sold for silly money - but that seems unlikely with any sale being subject to 'reasonable valuation, no doubt hampered further by the other clubs in the league who don't want us to progress. It's just making the whole game have a sour taste currently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Looking forward to seeing the names we get linked with now it’s clear that we’re going to be selling at least one, probably two players minimum.

Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If you are of the view that the lions share of our players have taken us as far as they can then I'm not opposed to these types of sale (Miggy and Trippier). Obviously it depends on what replaces them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
