Transfer Rumours Summer Outgoings

With Haidara and Gamez out of contract and off the books soon, looks like another chunk of salary will be freed up in the near future

Darlow, Sels, Elliot, Lazaar, Saivet, Colback, Joselu, Gayle should all be available this summer.

 

Sels and Mbemba look like they're on their way back to Anderlecht

 

Happy to take a hit on transfer fees to save money on salaries and free up space for others who will be pushing for game time.

 

Exactly this - transfer fees are one thing, but wages often seem to be the deciding factor so need some room to manoeuvre

 

Even loaning players and subsidising their wages makes some difference which is something I'd rather us do than have a player who is surplus to requirements playing for the u23's for 30-50k a week.

 

Can't get rid of both Darlow and Elliot.

 

Happy to see Darlow away, but Elliott would be good cover

 

We could if we can retain Dubravka and bring in competition.

 

Surely Elliot is a good 3rd choice with Woodman as 2nd choice.

 

I like Woodman as 3rd choice with Dubravka competing for 1st choice. I don't want too many comfortable players.

 

Just read that nobody is going to do anything on transfers until Rafa decides on his future. An already shortened window with a World Cup just got a whole lot shorter thanks to the “exec board”.

 

The issue is a similar quality player to Dubravska will cost more than what we could get for Darlow and Elliot combined and bearing in mind we have enough outfield players we need to get a competitive GK is not a priority.

 

Exactly this for me - think with Dubravka in place and keep Elliott and Woodman, we're adequately covered.

Priorities are in other places for me

 

A new 9 and 10 would be top priority.

 

We could do with bringing in a second MD to keep Charnley on his toes.

 

A new owner would be nice.

 

Think Merino will be off sadly

 

This. The whisper is we have said 15m Euro and we sell.

 

It sounds as though he wants to leave for the same reason he joined, for first team football which is a shame as he is quite a well rounded midfielder.
