Who Stay’s, Who Goes

[Goat]

Factor in the sales of Richie, DCL, Pickford. 100 to 120m combine.

Potential sales of Gomes, Keane, holgate.

Kean money.

Wages reduction from siggy, Delph, Tosun, Kenny.

I don’t think we are anywhere close to collapse.

Waiting for expert to correct me.

I did say we would need to sell lots of people, I wasnt implying collapse, the thread is titled who stays, who goes, my only point is that loads will HAVE to go.

Tosun is our highest earner and he'll be gone. We will also see Gylfi and Delph off the books, which in itself is a few million per year saved.

However, you're right that there'll need to be a fair few players moved on, with us in the adverse position of needing to sell and won't get the best price.

I welcome a complete revamp of our squad. Massive silver lining imo.

I want to see a team of hard working grafters who are more committed to the Club than the clubs they frequent.

.. and fighters

Need to have a team full of leaders and characters to get out of the Championship if we do get relegated

If we go down teams could probably get him for £25m/£30m.

I’d genuinely take that for him if we stay up.

I'll break down my prediction of what would happen. Don't read it if you don't want nightmares.

They'll sack Lampard as a scapegoat, but they shouldn't. We'll end up with a Wilder or a Dyche type.

Pickford goes to a fairly good team. Begovic stays. Lonergan and Virginia who cares, both leave. We sign a new #1 on the cheap/free.

We build the team around a defence of Patterson, Godfrey, Branthwaite/Keane and Mykolenko. Mina goes, and hopefully someone is stupid enough to buy Keane and Holgate or they'll both stay. Kenny gets a new deal for the sake of depth due to the mass squad exodus, and Coleman and Nkounkou stay as backup. Little change here.

Midfield is less obvious. Delph and Allan both leave. Doucoure almost certainly gets bought by a lower Prem side. VdB goes back to United, Alli gets let go on a free, and Gylfi obviously leaves too. We're stuck with Gomes as nobody will buy him. Iwobi will stay due to a lack of suitors - wouldn't be upset about this if he's played in a midfield 3. Gbamin will come back in and be a nice surprise unless CSKA offer to buy him. Davies of course stays.

Out wide, Gray, Gordon, and Townsend all stay.

Richarlison, Tosun, Simms and Kean all go. Due to injuries and a poor season, nobody meets the asking price for DCL and he stays. Dobbin gets more time on the pitch. Rondon stays for another season and sees his contract out.

Overall that likely leaves us with; Begovic, Patterson, Coleman, Kenny, Godfrey, Branthwaite, Keane, Holgate, Nkounkou, Gomes, Davies, Gbamin, Iwobi, Gray, Gordon, Townsend, DCL, Dobbin, Rondon. With 4 cheap signings. 1x keeper, 2x CMs, 1x winger.

Pretty good prediction that. However, I think someone will pay a good loan fee for DCL with an option to buy the following summer if he proves his fitness. Broadhead might get a look in upfront. He looks like he might be good enough for that level

football inflation will rise again after a season of lifted covid restriction. Healthy gate receipts are coming in across Europe. Player price will inevitably increase.

We’ve got more chance of signing Messi on loan than us letting DCL go out on loan.

Could see dcl at Newcastle...

PUNT PUNT PUNT PUNT

 

[Steve EFC]

Need buyers for these. Who in the right mind is paying money for DCL?

Exactly and his salary is one of the lowest in the squad so if satisfactory offers don’t come in we could afford to keep him and sell on when he starts performing again!

 

[RomanReigns]

i imagine if we went down the club would first and foremost ask every player whether they want to leave or whether they would be prepared to stay to try and help get the club get promoted

not every clubs sells their star players when they get relegated

fulham kept mitrovic
watford kept sarr

we will no doubt sell a few players but we may still be able to keep a few higher profile names

Those on expensive contracts will not leave - they will continue to bleed us dry as they do sfa
