oadby.fox Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 I think it is clear to most of us that the squad is now way too big. There are far too many stagnating on high wages, or players that were once vital to us but are now nothing more than ageing bit-part players. With some decent youngsters coming through, and the need to free up squad space and cash for new signings, I thought it might be interesting to see what the general consensus on here was regarding which players should be the first to go. It's a multiple-choice poll because I thought a lot of us would probably like to see more than one leave! Personally I think it's necessary to see quite a few leave, even though some of them could rightly be called club legends. It would be interesting to see what others think! To kick things off, I think we could do with losing Musa, Ulloa, James, Benalouane, Mendy, King. On the maybe pile for me is Amartey, out on loan or keep him as a versatile squad player (getting rid of the others should help to give both him and Hamza more game time). Then depending on other potential signings, perhaps Slimani or maybe even Shinji.
Devonfox1884 Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Mendy, Leo, Musa, Benny and James all need to go ASAP. Slimani, Shinji and Kingy I wouldn’t mind leaving but wouldn’t be upset if they stay. Amartey stays and goes out on loan. 1
Fightforever Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 (edited) all of them bar okazaki his energy has changed games as an impact sub. Edited 23 July 2018 by Fightforever 3
Mehrez Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Wasn’t Puel a massive fan of James? Despite his injuries I can’t seem him wanting James to be sold, add to that the ludicrous contract given to him last year he’d be difficult to shift anyway unfortunately
brucey Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Musa, Mendy and King. James is still injured until September so there won't be any takers. Slim, Amartey and Okazaki can still be useful off the bench / as plan B. The rest have one year left on their contracts so if we fail to get rid now, we'll still be automatically free of them next summer.
Fox92 Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Musa and Mendy first. I like James but he's not reliable enough, waste of wages.
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 James, Mendy, Musa, Benny, Amartey and Slim need to go.
Farrington fox Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Tbh, I’d withdraw Amartey from that list. And possibly Shinji. The rest can go.
Mehrez Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 (edited) Really getting rid of all these would be ideal, if you’re being pragmatic take that list sort it by weekly wage and go in that order Edited 23 July 2018 by Mehrez
yorkie1999 Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 (edited) What’s Mendy like, any good. I’ve only seen him play for half an hour Edited 23 July 2018 by yorkie1999 1
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Leo or Slim. Both on high wages and we don't need 2 target men strikers.
Popular Post themightyfin Posted 23 July 2018 Popular Post Posted 23 July 2018 Hardly think Shinji is deadwood that's harsh. 9
tsintskaro Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 (edited) Amartey can stay,i think Mendy will get a chance as well. King,James,Musa,Beny must go and one from Slimani/Ulloa Okazaki not gonna get any minutes i suppose,he will be 4th choice Edited 23 July 2018 by tsintskaro
rachhere Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Leo and Mendy are the priorities for me. Leo just hasn't even been on the fringes of the team lately, and there's no sense spending time bringing Mendy in when we already have so many established player ahead of him who are performing well. I still feel that James and King have something to offer as back up - they were central to one of our best performances of the season last year after all, and we had that really difficult time with injuries which highlights how important depth is in that area. Shinji back up to Maddison for this year whilst he's still in contract. Slimani has something to offer still, but if a decent offer comes along then let him go. Benny... seeing we have technically just replaced Drago with Evans, I think we need him still. Dan... I like him, but I don't see him being part of our long term strategy, so again if a decent offer came along.

Yeah I would keep both unless they were pushed down the pecking order by potential new signings. Amartey could do with going out on loan though I think if he isn't going to get much game time. Shinji I think still has something to offer too and would probably be happy to set on the bench and not kick up a stink.
Jaspa Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 (edited) Slimani is probably the biggest turd to flush, a real stinking floater it seems. Being paid alot, hasnt applied himself well, isn't going to start while Vards is here, his mate Riyad has gone and if there is any truth in the rumour a couple years ago that we have to pay a 1/4 million to Sporting Clube de Portugal every 15 games he plays he has to top the Gerrimoughhhht charts Edited 23 July 2018 by SpazticChicken
Hitesh Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 How can it be so goes first but then offer multiple choice?!
Fightforever Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Out of interest how much would we free in terms of wages if we sold all of them

kingfox Posted 23 July 2018 Posted 23 July 2018 Classing Shinji as deadwood should be a banning offence. 3
