Phew , now that the big one is out of the way, perhaps Hughes can turn his attention to other signings
He said he's not expecting any of the seniors to go and then added the bit you've quoted. I'm seeing it as positive. He can't definitively say that none of the seniors are going if one of them, Gomez or any other, agitates for a move in the meantime.
Slot doesn't appear to have any say in sales and transfers - I think that's the point of getting Edwards and Hughes back in. Therefore he has my total backing and I don't blame him at all for this window's debacle. Not at all.
That is clearly just to make a fortune selling the letters for the back of his shirt. With regard to Branthwaite I would love him to come to us a he is class and by far EFC's best player. It will go down like a lead balloon with EFC supporters, but it could just be agent talk to get Utd to increase their offer for him. I think they initially offered £32m as they thought EFC had to sell to avoid a points deduction, but EFC told them to p*ss off
Just had a look at his injury record and while the list looks long, they've been for things like flu 8 days, bruise 2 days, knock 10 days. The longest one was 50 days in 20/21 hip flexor problem. He's missed 24 games in 6 years.
not sure a left winger is the most important area to address where as right wing cover would be a much better idea
If we need lb/lcb cover, there’s a guy at rangers that is available. Only 29 so might be good cover for a year or so Ben Davies is his name. Not sure if anyone’s heard of him before
Was never getting anywhere near first team and the cost and level he’s gone to pretty much sums that up. Hopefully has a decent career there now but more importantly maybe clears the way for another youngster to take his place in u21s
I hope none of these kids we're selling go on to become the next Lionel Messi! How many of them are we going to turn around and say "we were an idiot for selling him?"
Imo 0. But anyway. Time and patience develops players, nothing else. I don't think we've formally announced ths wolves kid yet
