Hard to know what we can spend. It could be we could spend more based on expected sales of BOS (I hope not) and / or Manning. Or that sales proceeds of one or both of them are expected to cover the signings we have already made. Or we have more we can use from the Eze sale.
25 man squad this season so we got to be getting rid of players before anymore incomings as we are above the 25 now
We dont need to incorporate our u21 in that list... so I think bettache, alfa, gubbins, oteh are not included
Kelman bid rejected again https://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/18780298.southend-united-reject-qprs-second-offer-charlie-kelman/
Kelman is u21 so will not count. I think we have 22 at moment, without checking exact birthdays ( and it an odd thing ..as it is not u21...it is the season in which you turn 21..so someone whose birthday is sept is still u21 e.g. Oteh)... But we are looking to lose Lumley...and we wont register Manning (if not signed I would guess)....what are we doing with Ramkilde ? Doubt we will register Owens and possibly we will loan out Smythe too. So I make it 22...and I have not included one of Lumley/Kelly, Manning, Charlie Owen and Ramkilde . So even with Manning registered ..we still have room for the Barnsley midfielder
Think Gubbins has gone on loan -5 youngsters were announced leaving on loan for a while but cant find it again now
Lumley Kane Wallace Dickie Barbet Bonne Amos Dykes Chair Osayi-Samuel Ball Dieng Manning Shadipo Oteh Thomas Cameron Willock Carroll Masterson Kakay Hamalainen Ramkilde Owens Kelly Alfa Adomah Smyth Under 21s - Bettache & Gubbins
And Alfa and Oteh are u21. And we will lose ...to loan a goalkeeper And Ramskilde? Bet we loan is or sell Smythe
Yes turned 22 in September so still u21 at the start of the season.. Gubbins has gone on loan already
Mowatt would be an awesome signing we have zero combative midfielders(actually cant remember last decent strong box to box midfielder we had). Guess this is just "paper talk" though
From the gossip page in the BBC site...... West Ham United are considering a £5m move for QPR's Irish midfielder Ryan Manning. The 24-year-old can also play left-back. (Star)
I don't know about Mowatt but I really think Manning could do this role as I believe this is his best position. MW either can't see it or there really is a conflict of interest, which is shame because sometimes the answer is staring at you!
He's had his head turned, don't see any coming back from that now, he would have signed his new deal otherwise.
