Alves initially then BDCR?

Credit where credit is due, well done Jon. Now make some signings that improve this squad.

Selling for £5m or so would be a no-brainer. Really likeable lad but not good enough really.

Stolarczyk Ricardo Okoli Nelson Faes Page Winks Fatawu BEK Monga McAteer Screw it, let’s see what Kasey can do up top. He might be dreadful, but so are Ayew and Daka. Need to get as many players that want to be here in the team as possible - Faes and Winks probably still need to play, unfortunately.

Hope this is true, £5m would be excellent business for us.

Not the worst by any stretch, but didn’t Perez nearly kill a fan at Stockport with one a few years back?

Loan to league 1 and consistent starts needed. Whether we can afford to let him go is a different question.

Think this season is going to be grim, but that it will largely reset the club. The players out of contact at the end of the season alongside the ones we will sell by the end of this window should mean the squad is massively overhauled by this time next year, which gives me hope.

Again, not one I’m desperate to see go, he seems a good pro and person, but £7m would be silly to turn down with his recent form, injuries and the fact he’s in his final year.

I get the point, I really do. But the issue is we have to be somewhat shortsighted at the moment. We need to rebuild - we only do that by moving on high earners as quickly as possible so we can bring in new blood on lower wages to start over. I don’t think we shift Soumare or Skipp, so if there was the opportunity to move Winks on so Marti can bring in a player that he specifically wants in midfield, considering Winks is in his final year and on big wages, would I do it? Absolutely. Of course that’s contingent on being able to sign a replacement, otherwise it would be silly to let him go in our current state in midfield - I acknowledge that. Is there a like-for-like Winks replacement available within a small budget? Maybe, maybe not. If I’m honest I can’t think of someone off the top of my head but I’d hope (perhaps naively!) that we can find some value in the lower leagues or on the continent - we’ve shown we can do it amongst the dross we also sign. I just don’t think he’s that good or irreplaceable. Just my opinion, of course.

Let’s not go overboard about one good half against a team in absolute turmoil. £5m and sell for me - he’s replaceable. He’s in the priority group for departure alongside Faes, Vestergaard, BDCR and Soumare.

Think the problem I have is he’s essentially dishing it back to all the fans when only a small minority actually booed him. Harsh on a lot there today to react like he did instead of making the most of a good moment in time - a late winner. On a human level I understand it to an extent, but at the same time I think it was somewhat petulant and immature.

I think if it’s just £18m as quoted, we’re probably slightly low on his value. I suspect, however, that it’ll be more like £18m up front with £2/3m in add-ons that would take the fee to a level where we can be more content.

Mine arrived yesterday.

Lots of players I’d want rid of before JJ. Can never fault his effort, he takes accountability and seems like a nice guy. Shame how injuries have hampered him over the years.

Do Leuven need a right-back? A move that could make sense.

£20m + £5m in achievable add-ons will be about what he goes for I reckon.

Yeah at first thought that was a solid 9/10, but the two-tone ruins it.

Devon to Huddersfield… why not 🦊

The one we won the league in for sentimental reasons. For design, the 1984 (I think?) with the pinstripes.

No problem with this as long as the contract is one year and reasonable wages, i.e. circa 10-15k per week.

Members likely if it’s 6.5k I assume?

If this ends up with us appointing an unemployed footballing dinosaur two weeks into pre-season, then the board deserve all the negativity/protests they will get. Bordering on pure negligence at this point, if it wasn’t already.

Schmeichel and Hamer I can see for sure (both right hand side, Hamer is the top one and Schmeichel the one underneath).

But if that’s the case, why wait this long? Why not do it weeks ago? Must be very close to appointing a new manager surely. Or our hierarchy are idiots… actually, I’ve answered my own question.
