Only Odubajo (who no-one will come in for for obvious reasons) and Tymon. Luer and Lenihan are also on one year deals, but both have options for an additional year.
I really like him as a pro but he'll be very expensive and has a tendency to miss chunks of most seasons through injury.
Not doubting his qualities as a pro, I just think he's got the turning circle of an aircraft carrier.
Do you think we'd demand a fee for him? If not, there would probably be some takers maybe in the PL as cover.
yup, saying we wish we still had Junior is not dissimilar to Labour wishing they still had Diane Abbott
I just worry about the number of players we're going to need to sign. We're going to need probably 5-6 new defenders alone. If we want to go up we'll really need more than just Hernandex up front since we don't have people like Diame and Snodgrass to carry the attack this time. I can't see us signing the sheer quantity we're going to need. Let alone signing them in good time.
On the other hand, it gives the new gaffer the ability to bring in who he wants. If we had Marco in charge, it wouldn't have bothered me at all. With Slutsky, I don't know enough about him
I just think whoever is in chartge it's a big ask. I can't see Ehab sorting out a doezn transfers in a summer, I'm even less confident that it'll happen in good time before the season starts and even if it is all managed well, losing and signing that many players has got disaster written all over it. Not many clubs replace half their squad in one window and make a success of it.
Is it? Do they ever work anywhere? Always seems like a way to undermine the manager and still blame him when it goes wrong.
Hopefully we'll have a DOF so Ehab can take a back seat. It all depends really, I've thought for some time that the squad needs a shake up
