2023/24 Ben Godfrey

I don't care about the PSR impact. If we can get £10m, do the deal.

Oh yeah, he's terrible.

What Godfrey does can be found elsewhere. He was decent for us last season, but he offers nothing going forward. And that's not just because of Dyche - he has never had an attacking threat or technical ability. He's fast. That's pretty much it.

If we can sell him for anything to benefit our books I'd be happy with that. Then hopefully we can find a bench defender elsewhere for around what we sold him for, or cheaper.

I remember being at goodison when we played spurs last season. Don't think I've ever seen so many players having to have words with a player over being caught out of possession. That's what Godfrey brings. Pace, athleticism and no brain.

 

[CielosGrises]

Not a great right-back, questionable centre-back - went wrong somewhere - best for him and us.

 

[Runub]

Feel sorry for Godfrey. Had some bad luck with Covid and a broken leg. Did a decent job last season but if an offer of £10M was on the table it would make sense to sell

 

[No Alla Violenza]

I quite like him and would rather have him at RB than Ashley Young and at CB over Michael Keane

He’s aggressive and does have pace

 

[Clarky cat]

I’ll drive him to Atalanta

Get rid now

What route you thinking mate?

Fastest one

I'd ask Patrick Duffy for directions. Oh! That's Atlantis. My mistake.

Not sure if this has been asked on here already but...
Godfrey bought for £22m over a 5 year deal which he is in his 5th year (£4.4m a year).
Would mean £5.6 of the £10m would go on PSR as profit as the remaining £4.4m would still be on the books?

Yep anything above his final year book price/amortisation is profit mate.

We also gain, his wage.

[Axlswhk]

The question is, who can we sign with 10m?
The thought of Keane, Young and Coleman combining mistakes that will cost 20points or more send shivers down my spine.

Absolutely loads of players, we’ve just signed someone for under £10m.

So someone like Michael Keane would be pure profit as he's been hanging around like a mouldy potato?
