2018/19 Mason Holgate

[Barnfred 55]

If we sell Holgate we would need 2 CB and a RB in the last week of the window. I think we need to keep him as 4th choice CB but if Gibson shows he's ready to step up in first half of the season maybe let him go in the window. Too short of time now to get the right quality in.

If we bring in a CB as expected, you could argue hat Gbamin could provide cover as both 4th choice CB and back up RB, assuming we don't bring another RB in this window. Gibson could be 5th choice CB if we have an injury crisis there.

Still have hopes for the lad but I trust Silva/Brands to make the right decision on him.

Real show if faith in Gibson of they're prepared to sell Holgate. Leaves us a little bare at CB.

Unless it means Zouma is on his way back!

 

[ForeverBlue92]

SELL NOW!

 

[ToffeeTim]

10m be an incredible fee.

I would sell to be honest. I like the ruthlessness that Brands is showing.

None of that weak bullcrap of being hoodwinked by the likes of Schneiderlin putting in a shift for a few weeks to buy himself another year at the club.

Sell anyone that's not good enough and work to bring in players that are or can be.

Hell, probably not a popular opinion but I'd sell DCL if a bid came in.

Don’t be daft

 

[meagher94]

Holgate + £20m for ake ???

Now that I’d take

 

[dublinbluenose]

£10 -12m is good business.

 

[Tubey]

Had massive hopes for him when he first arrived, looked great but he hasn't progressed.

A sale now for around £10m is fair.

 

[rochdaleblue]

Any sale will be great for FFP further down the line considering he cost a minimal amount.

I mean, id like this to wait until January, we're selling a load of players who I reckon would be very good squad players for us... But if we're going to be buying 6 players of moise kean's stature every summer then they will quickly be deadwood.

I agree with you, although I wouldn’t sell DCL. If anything, he adds something different....even if it’s off the bench. Schniderlin....don’t get me started....

 

[ijjysmith]

I still like him a lot I have to say.

But if we can upgrade then fair enough.

I’m a fan too.

How's it daft? 10m is a great fee for us for a kid who hasn't progressed at all in a couple of seasons.
