why have we sold no-one?

Recommended Posts

Posted

i was just wondering why we have not sold anyone this window, this is who i think we could sell to make it easier to purchase better players, not sure of the value we would get so what i put on each player is just a guess.

 

mendy   10 million

musa     15 million

ulloa      10 million

shinji     10 million

wes        5  million

 

total     50 million

 

we then could go after sigurdsson and gibson even if it cost us 80 million we would only have spent 30 million, what do people think. WHY ARE WE HOLDING ON TO FLOP'S.

i doubt we will ever sell wes except if he asks to leave and i think shinji is very good at what he meant to do but other than that we should probably sell or loan the rest

I think it's because Shakespeare wanted to be fair to the players and give them a chance to stake their claim in preseason as players need a run to get confidence up. 

 

However, now we've played a number of games I do feel the first 3 should be moved on.

I'd keep Musa for now as I still think he could come good. Obviously if we got an offer close to what was paid it would be worth considering.

 

Mendy is unsaleable at present I imagine.

 

Doubt whether we'd get 10m for either Ulloa or Shinji.

 

Only sell Wes if he wants to go.

Musa did well last night and as I said has put serious size on his legs, he'll be a lot stronger this season :) for a man that thin, he must have worked exceptionally hard in such a short time.

Pretty easy really, mendy musa and ulloa are dog shite.

 

Shinji i dont think we want to sell and Wes would reject a move cos he aint gona get the pay packet he is on anywhere else.

All apart from wes & shinji are absolute flops. Mendy & Musa will never be first team standard again, neither will Ulloa.

We wont re-coup anthing close to what we paid for them as we overpaid as a panic buy.

I'm not sure people have realized, even now, that we've filled our squad full of mediocrity or 'maturity'.

Mendy has become a sick note. God knows what we are going to do with him. Musa might have had a decent pre-season friendly game, against Burton...but one swallow a summer doesn't make. Slimani has also become a sick note. His time actually on the pitch compared to the outlay for him must be ridiculous.

We have Amartey who despite the nonsense on here, doesn't seem to be attracting a plethora of suitors, then there's King who will end his career here, Leo and his new contract, big Wes, Huth, Simmo and Fuchs all of whom are in the twilight of their careers.

Clubs don't want these players. I think we either take significant losses on them, or somehow look to getting the best out of them that we possibly can. Surprisingly maybe, the main one for me is Musa. I think he's better than he's shown so far and we can get him playing.

Someone would have to be interested in buying them first.

A slight technicality it seems so easily forgotten on here.

Three of those players were in our title winning team. Past their best maybe but never flops. 

Nobody is saying they are flops. Just that they won't be sold on. Wes and Huth, for instance, will see out their contracts here.

The OP is shouting they're  all FLOPS.

No way would I want us to sell shinji he brings a lot to the team that no other player does. He is the best player to have in our locker when we need to start pressing higher up the pitch.

There is zero value is letting Wes go. We value him far more than others (such as Newcastle was he was linked by some bored blogger). He's also worth keeping in the dressing room if he does lose his place in the first team.

Any one got Rudder's mobile number for this FT member?

Mendy - Freak knee injury on his home debut - we don't know if he's any good.

 

Musa - Looks a confidence player to me, I see no reason to sell when we're short on wingers.

 

Ulloa - Bin. He doesn't want to play for us and frankly, I don't want him to either.

 

Shinji - Have a word mods. Shinji is life.

 

Wes - ****ing hell. Seriously?

How do you arrive at that conclusion?

 

Musa looked good last night and Mendy hasn't played.
