The Clear-out

Status
Not open for further replies.
We could do with a midfielder who contributes a little more than nothing.

Allan - 0 goals
Davies - 0 goals
Gomes - 0 goals
Doucoure - 2 goals ( I think, maybe 3 if you add the fa cup goal )
Delph - 0 goals

Then defensively I think Keane and Mina might have scored 3-4 each but nothing from Digne or Coleman and 1 from Holgate.

Then the grand total of 0 goals from Iwobi and Bernard

Pathetic really isn't it.
When you put it that way macca,there truly is no argument is there? ;) lol
 
There is blatantly not going to be a clear out - at least not of the type that would be required to get us seriously challenging for anything other than mid table.
We only sign limpets. Happy to get the odd League Cup game,do a bit of training,go home play computer games,none of them looking to get a move to play regular football.
 
Blimey this thread has cheered me up no end :( , never mind the underperformers in the squad when you realise we still have Tosun , Walcott , Besic etc still here we are in a lot of trouble already for next season .
What stood out for me this season is the amount of young , fast , players I have never heard of that rip through our team , Gomes , Allan , Siggy , Dacoure , James , Davies can't run , we need about 3 or 4 speed merchants , every game you seen Richie and Dom scratching their arses most of the game .
 
If the goal is Champions League, then I'm not sure I'd keep any of them. Maybe DCL and Godfrey, and Pickford has been ok so I suppose he'd stay. Maybe Digne gets a pass. But being honest, and looking at the teams that made the top4 (or 5) this year, is there a player from our lot that you would 100% take ahead of the equivalent in those teams? For City I might (almost) pick 2 teams of them before one us got on the team sheet! Although it is disappointing to get 10th following our decent start, given the players I think that's about realistic.
 
Siggurdson, Iwobi, Holgate, Bernard, Keane and Davies. I would rather lose Richarlison than DCL if an offer came in but that doesn’t mean I think Calvert-Lewis is anything special.
 

Realistically we're not getting rid of fifteen players, so I meant who are the five or so you'd most want firing into the sun if you had to choose.
There isn't one player that I would be bothered about losing if we got good enough offers , except perhaps Godfrey.
However , and if I can only limit it to 5 fantasy sales , it would be Delph , Tosun , Iwobi , Bernard and Sigurdsson. No it must be 6 Gomes isn't on the list!
I could just as easily have named , Holgate , Kenny , Kean , Keane and Mina .
Or how about a 3rd 5 a side team we could offload ...Pickford , Davies , Doucoure , Gordon and Richarlison .
I geuinely don't care who leaves.
I do care who Brands brings in. For me we have 1 more chance to get recruitment right .
 
Put this in the Carlo thread...

Holgate - Sell/Squad
Keane - Sell/Squad
Iwobi - Sell/Squad
Siggy - Sell/Squad
Davies - Sell/Squad
Gomes - Sell/Squad
Jon Joe - Sell


Bernard - Gone
Kean - Gone

Leaves us with a 1st 11 of...

Pickford
Mina
Coleman
Doucoure
Allan
Richy
James
DCL

Major rebuild.
Keep Godfrey.... 4 of the 9 that should be kept are Carlo signings. same again this year 4 hits in the transfer market puts us in a far better position next year. The only one you have in your sell section that I'd keep is Keane.
 
Is that Brands lol

Herein lies the root of our problems.

Keane is nowhere near good enough to assist us in our objectives,any of the top six look at signing him if they get the chance?,I don't think so.

Disgusting return, it's not hard to see why we can't compete for European places, 10-15 goals from your midfield is the minimum requirement i'd say.
