We also have: Coulson, Reading, Spence, Wood, Stubbs and we know Woodgate wants to play them. Link to post Share on other sites

Clubs not willing to pay what we want for him. Might be better off just keeping hold Not thrilling for those that want him out maybe but last season must have been one of his worst. I think he will do much better for us this season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Raf smog 651 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I reckon this flint leaving might open a few doors, next week might be a big week for this upcoming season. A young squad with a few young signings, might be interesting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

In an ideal world we keep at least Britt and Randolph from the higher earners. Braithwaite can go if we get £4m or so for me. Link to post Share on other sites

Would that be considered a high earner? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Both if I am honest a lot of teams coming back from overseas, combined with players coming back from extended breaks after internationals open the doors for us. We now also have a bit of money for deals that were faultering due to payment schedules ( personal opinion not based on knowledge). This week might put a bit of optimism back I hope 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I do remember reading an article after he signed which quoted one of his teammates saying something along the lines of him trebling his £4k wages and it was an offer he could not refuse.

Shotton offers cover both at RB and CB which is good. Link to post Share on other sites

I also cant imagine Shotton is on much. We signed him from Birmingham who not been flush with cash for quite some time. Shotton has his critics but i would rather keep him as he offers competent and experienced cover at both RB and CB. He is no world beater but given our thin squad players like him are important as he comfortable in 2 positions. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Also happy that Saville could be staying. I think he’s a good player and will come good this season. I didn’t even think he was that bad last season, and it was probably one of his worst.
