Yeah, I'm getting increasing persuaded that them surviving could be good for us. I keep on saying how a front line of Armstrong-Archer-Diaz should score well in the Championship. But a front line of Hutchinson-Philogene-Clarke-Szmodics would be on another level, it should rip up the Championship (I'm assuming they would lose Delap in they go down). Recruiting the best Championship players was always the most attractive looking strategy to me. Shame that we didn't follow suit.
Apparently Sheff Wed fans have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money to sign Shea Charles. They rate him at 15m.
If Martin was still here, I imagine we'd be looking to sell Charles if we could and he'd probably want out too. Presumably though, we are planning for him to be an important player for us next season given the season he appears to be having at Wednesday and our need for another proper DM. One thing to note with Charles is he will be going into his final 2 years of his contract next season.
I'm not sure why BBD is considered as a winger or wide forward. Correct me if I am wrong, but he played more of a 10 in his time at Blackburn and he did well there, but has never done well out wide. He has no pace, can't cross and from what we have seen he can't beat his man either. I think we should sell him if we can recoup our money or potentially use him centrally.
As Magic said, everyone should be up for sale for the right price and I guess we see what we’re left with by the summer. It should be a good enough base to compete next season. it might back fire in terms of putting people off certain players completely, but we should be playing players we want to sell this summer and try and get them in the shop window ABK, Tall Paul, Sulemana
Spanish media saying we are interested in Betis’ midfielder Sergi Altimira. Betis apparently only willing to let him go for his release clause which is £33m He’s a DM which will please people. We won’t be signing him which won’t please people
Everyone’s other favourite person we won’t sign, Borja Sainz, has just been banned for six games for spitting at an opponent.
I thought there was a release clause similar to the fee we paid. Might be wrong on that but how I understood it. Id sell everyone who we don’t need next season. I hope we **** the rest of the games off and tell the EPL to shove them up their arse, as long as there was room for it after we already shove VAR up there first.
Yeah that rings a bell but I thought it was related to relegation which if true means we could demand more? I might have made that up though.
I don`t see any point in signing anyone this window, and certainly not on loan unless it`s in preparation for next season in the championship. We`ve had a couple of real stinkers at Aberdeen in recent years. Rhys Williams played in the champions league for Liverpool, yet never played a single minute for us. He was recalled early, citing `injury` problems. Matty Longstaff was famous for scoring the winning goal for Newcastle against ManU at St James. He appeared five times before being recalled early, citing our long ball tactics as the problem. He wasn`t bright enough to realise the irony that if we were long ball, then it was to by-pass duffers like him in midfield!
Wouldn't blame Ramsdale in the slightest if he wants out. He obviously got caught up in the RM love-in at the start of the season and now finds himself deep in the weeds. He wont be here next season, we wont be staying up so, hey ho, whats the gain in staying.
If we there is a release clause and we can get more then it’s got to tempting. It would be major boost in our aim to break Derbys record and potentially make a new unbreakable PL record alongside fast goal, fastest hat trick and that score line
I don't feel there is any point in waiting before relegation is confirmed before selling. We will do better cashing in now whilst the players have some valley. I do not want any new signings either....that can wait until the new manager comes in during the summer. Not convinced Juric will stay.
