LinoJo3 3,191 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 £15m plus sales will make a nice budget! Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 After watching the press conference I don't think Downing will be coming back. All involved were very adamant about the new philosophy. Very pleased to hear about Randolph staying, hopefully we can shift out some deadwood, so we have less pressure to accept offers on him. Also the £15 Million transfer pot sounds very good too. Doesn't quite tally up to how that past 3 seasons accounts look like (not including last season). But then maybe the season just gone we have performed better financially than we have been lead to believe. We won't have to full picture of that until next year. UTB!

Think that alone is a big chunk off the wage bill. Plus if we get a few more outgoings I can certainly see us having £15 Million + to have to reshape the squad. Just out of interest who do you think is potentially on the way out? Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Just get a few Liverpool and Spurs loans. Hopefully Fluminense have a couple we can get on the cheap Link to post Share on other sites

The other unwanted players imo are likely to be Rudy and Marvin Johnson but i cant imagine us getting much for either two. Rest of Squad i think has a future under Woodie unless a big bid comes in.

Not sure I think we're a bit heavy in CM if we're intent on blooding youngsters... maybe Howson and Clayton could go also? To make room for new people. I think there will be a large overhaul with a few key sales. The only issue is the identification of targets though. First signing will show us the intended way forward. Keane working with Britt and Fletcher has to be a good thing for us. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan1234 1,054 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I think out of the midfielders it may just be down to whoever we get a offer for. I'd think Saville/Howson/Clayton and Mcnair will all be available for a half decent fee. I'd be a little disappointed if Mcnair went as I do think there is a good player in there. A lot of it will go down to what formation Woodgate wants to play too. You'd expect with him mentioning high press and liking Liverpool that it may be a 4-3-3. Maybe we do need 5/6 cm's if that's the case. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,494 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 We are not actually that heavy in CM now Mikel and Besic left. It seems we are going to be playing 4.3.3 and the central midfielders currently are Wing McNair Saville Howson and Clayton. So that's 5 for 3 positions. Link to post Share on other sites

You'd have to assume those 5 would be supplemented by the youngsters Woodgate alluded to. So we may well be sorted in that area. Link to post Share on other sites
Armster 29 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'd be disappointed if we are sorted in midfield.... Needs a shake up as pulis, and even back to karanka before him it was hardly the quick uptempo football he was alluding to. With an aging cast that's only going to get slower... It's needs a revolution. Link to post Share on other sites
