If we do well in the transfer market and manage to keep hold of Jose and Barton then i am very intruiged about next season!

 

If we keep hold of Tiote, Jose and Barton and spend wisely we can have a cracking team next season. Europe is a definate possibility.

 

Willow had a belter today but keeping the spine of the team in Colo, Jose, Barton and Tiote and adding a couple of quality strikers we will be looking good.

I don't think we have as much of an issue keeping Tiote and Colo as we do for example Enrique.Something about him that makes me think he could very well move..

 

But i agree with what you say about next season though for sure!

If we got £12m of Manu for Enrique with a year left on his contract i'd be accepting of the move; begrudgingly.

 

Hopefully we can tie him down, even if it just means getting more money for him. Something like £20m would be amazing tbf. Same with Tiote, if we get £20-25m for him it shows we are progressing players and more players will want to come and do the same. As long as we ID the right kind of players to replace them its all good.

I don't agree,We'll be a re-building team every year,You don't gain success like that...

 

We need to keep our core players,Thats what big clubs do.

Newsflash: I wasn't saying that..We are working towards being a big club right? So how can we do that if we are re-building each year? We have built the foundations (Colo,Barton,Enrique,Tiote) So they are players we must keep.Everyone else in our team is replacable. But losing one of them 4 would be stupid if we want to acheive big club status and challenge for honours.

the problems is that they will want to leave if we don´t gain any success.

Are we? We're working towards being a stable club, being a big club is a long way to go with 5 good teams fighting for CL, and 3 outside teams taking up the Europa spots. In the meantime we need to progress by getting the right prices for our better players when the time and price is right to sell, while getting rid of the shite and making sure we don't sign the like of again. Selling Enrique for £12m with one year to go on his contract is the right time, or would you prefer to keep him for another season and lose him for nothing? I'd say come the summer he'd only be 6 months away from talking to clubs in his native Spain...if he doesn't sign a new deal in the next few months we've got to sell him and that is down to him not the club trying to be a selling club (which every club is BTW - especially at our level)

 

We've got good foundations like you say, no disputing and it would be nice in an ideal footballing world to build on that and get back in there with the elite, but its not the ideal world and really we have to know our place, that is a club that's just been promoted, with a dodgy owner and no real ambition apart from to be financially stable for the first time in decades.

We need to hold on to players like Enrique or we'll never progress.  Taking £12 million for him will be a backward step and send out all of the wrong signals if we want to move on.
