Could be a few arguments in this weeks debate:
So season over but on the subject of relegation what would have happened if we had Sinisterra, Adams, Bamford, Rodrigo, Cooper, Forshaw all fully fit this season?
Would we really have been as bad defensively if Cody Drameh was still in the squad? I believe Drameh is a better defender than Kristensen and Ayling, he also creates more assists. Yes I know there are some who believe he’s lightweight and everyone is entitled to their views however 2 seasons in the Championship show he is one of the best defenders in the whole of the EFL and wanted by many clubs in the prem and Europe. Cresswell and Drameh should be the start of a rebuild at the back for me.
So Big Sam has been fooked off, good, now we have the problem yet again of finding a suitable coach because the last 4 have been totally unsuitable. This needs sorting as soon as we have a new board and we know who the majority owner will be.
We are going to be losing a lot of first team players but this could be the time that a lot of the money invested in the academy pays off. I think Greenwood and Summerville will be gone, but a chance we see Cresswell, Gelhardt, Perkins, Joseph, Gyabi, Gray, Bate as part of the first team squad.
Lots of hatred from the media and fans for Radz because The Athletic broke a story about ER being used as collateral for the Samp deal. The fact is it wasn’t used but the media are making Hay (pardon the pun) about something that didn’t happen, in other words yet another non story but getting clicks. I will always be thankful for Radz but agree he should have gone last summer and maybe we could still be in the prem. his failures over the last 18 months are at the heart of what’s happened. He was in charge and sanctioned Orta’s dealings and in fact it was he who sacked Bielsa not Orta.
So according to Angus Kinnear the 49ers have been out on their own looking for a replacement. They have even had at least one zoom call with Bielsa a few weeks ago. Its also believed they are sounding out Brenden Roger’s.
Good news for Rodrigo who has been called up to the Spain squad again, so will only enhance his value when we sell him any time soon.
There are also reports that Cresswell has a relegation clause in his contract, so he may opt to go elsewhere if his trigger price is reached. They tried to offload him last summer…… lets not forget that Cresswell and Colwell either play together for England U21s as CBs or share the same position in competition for starting. Colwell is a Chelsea kid on loan at Brighton and Brighton have been quoted £30m to buy him. Lots of prem clubs may see Cresswell as a cheaper option?
