Well the person who found these 2 got pushed out by a fat kopite

Equally though it’s not a great hit rate in amongst all the rubbish signings is it.

Just don’t see why everything has to be so binary, our scouts are either all rubbish, or the ones Benitez got rid of were all great. The truth is the overall recruitment picture has been poor but there has been some good buys in amongst them.
 
Right so to sum up:

You expressed a worry that Dyche has a say in transfers

I’ve said that it’s probably the case as the manager will work with DOF on targets

You’ve said that’s completely untrue

You’ve then said though that you’re worried though because Everton probably would do the exact scenario I laid out
It’s Everton logic. Don’t try to argue with it or you’ll go mad. Like he has.

It all points in the same direction, no plan. The pinnacle of this board, a lack of direction
 

My out list:

Mina*
Coady*
Vinagre*
Nkounkou*
Maupay
Holgate
Simms
Davies
Lonegeran
Gomes
Gaming

My retain list:

Pickford - No words needed

DC-L - He's a sicknote but he is very effective when available, hopefully we bring in a starting forward to take the pressure off him. Can't see anyone offering us good money for him now so even if we just let his deal expire it's a trivial loss given we only signed him for 1.5 mil

Iwobi - he's reliable, works hard and will do whatever the manager asks

Gray - if we were offered decent money I'd take it but would prefer us to bring in another winger and have Gray be an impact player/rotation player

Gueye - was a lot better than people made out this on him, he made mistakes but no doubting his attitude and I'd like to see him maybe go on to coach here

McNeil - works like a dog and is improving his goalscoring

Tarkowski - our best CB

Coleman - keep him rolling until it's clear he can't continue at this level

Patterson - Has looked good when fit

Mykolenko - keep but look to move him to backup/ rotate with a new LB

Doucoure - best player under Dyche

Onana - obviously he will likely go but if like to see him here another year

What we absolutely need:
Starting striker
Starting Winger
Starting CB
Starting LB

Must keep - Pickford, Tarkowski, McNeil, Garner, DCL (as you say we’ve got no one else near him quality wise up top).

Would like to keep (due to either quality or depth reasons) - Patterson, Doucoure, Iwobi, Mykolenko, Begovic, Coleman, Gana, Onana (but suspect he’ll go).

Listen to offers - Keane, Godfrey, Gray, Simms

Actively flog/release - Maupay, Gbamin, Gomes, Holgate, Virginia, Dele, Townsend, Davies, Lonergan.

Promote - Mills, Branthwaite, Cannon, Tyrer.

And I’m with you on the lads with a *

Yeah I didn't list Keane but I really don't think he's as bad as people make out. If someone offers a decent fee take it, if not let him see out his last year as Dyche can get a tune out of him.
