Player Valuation: £100m
And here is me thinking you were quite bright on the togger front.....
You think that a 25 year old whom really hasn't fulfilled his potential from when he played for England and when we offered 12 million for him from Birmingham before he went to Leicester isn't a good deal, on less then half the wages that Bernard (he is replacing on the bench, who contributed nothing) wouldn't be a good option from the bench with defenders with tired legs?
Have a look at the Manchester City reserve keeper, would you sign him?
Andros Townsend, no way a fan but he has something to prove, 2 year contract on a free option from the bench that we didn't have last year (reminder on the bench with the supposed world class manager 4 kids 2 goalkeepers and Iwobi
None of these guys are first teamers, they are rotation players
Come out of that cloud you are living in, things have changed....
So, to confirm:
"Its ok to sign these 3 players as theyre rotation players"
"FFP issues mean we need to sell players"
"We dont have enough players so need to sign lower quality players"
Our first team squad consists of 30 players (not including u23s). 18 players can be selected in the matchday squad.
We can move on 12 players and have enough to fill the matchday squad.
That should be the focus now and signing 2 or 3 players of quality. Certainly not signing more deadwood.
This is just common sense. You dont add deadwood to an already bloated squad.
Begovic and Townsend would be ok for a season -- we shouldnt have given Townsend a 2 year deal. Gray on a 3 year contract is rewarding failure.
