Connolly not even given a squad number and is not training with the first team is he? Penno too.

Connolly not even given a squad number and is not training with the first team is he? Penno too.

Both players will have to be named or sold/loaned.

Neither is classed as a young player.

 

[messymascot]

If we buy no one else I still think we need to get rid of 6 of the listed Besic, Bolasie, Sandro, Connolly, Pennington, Baningime. Broadhead and Bowler who aren't listed would also be gone. After that it would be replace on a like for like basis as the squad would just need upgrades then.

Outside of Tosun for nationalistic pride, who is buying that crap? They deserve to waste every penny.

How is that squad still so full of rubbish when we seem to have clear outs regularly ffs.

 

[Amokachi1995]

I was concerned about having too many non-HG players but this suggests there is plenty of space. 2 readily available with further space created by clearing out the likes of Ramirez, Besic, Tosun etc etc. Cast your net wide Marcel.

Does any other club in world football have this sort of range in quality????

A) no 1 will buy them
B) if they do want to buy them they don’t want to pay big wages like there already on
C) teams ain’t got the money or risk paying the money with the current COVID situation
