Because of that potential possibility, we need to keep Castagne, Bertrand can rot as 5th choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frees up one space, gets some funds in, frees up some wages and maybe not in the worst area of the pitch as far as cover goes. If we received a crazy offer we should consider it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Occam's Razor answer is the team is skint, desperately needs to shift somebody, and can find no takers for the guys they'd prefer to shift so have to dig into the core and sell one of them.

I like him but he's never settled here from what I gather and him and his wife want to go back to Italy. Totally agree and let’s be honest he’s injured most of the time.

Which I read as 'no takers for the money we want so far'. I'd be worried if the other clubs were flogging players with ease, but... West Ham haven't generated a single pound in sales (while spending 50 million - if I'm honest us doing that would worry me more) A nice chunk of change, but Everton have sold one more player than us Southampton - zero pounds Brighton - one sale for 26 million Crystal Palace - not a sausage Brentford - in America I think they call them 'links' Newcastle - no black pudding Arsenal - two whole players for whom they have been in receipt of moolah, for a season altering total of 13 million Leeds - have gone ****ing mental ngl Perhaps as well as an internal domino effect building there's an intra-club one, whereby one or two sales opens a mini-floodgate. Or you could worry. Part of the reason we can't shift them though is the money they're on here. Who is going to pay Perez and Hamza what they're on here? No one.

Dan LCFC Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 I did think when we bought Castagne, I don't dislike him as a player but we paid a fair bit given his own contract situation, will we even get that back? He's not someone I'd rather sell though. So many others I'd rather went first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GingerrrFox Posted 15 July 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 15 July 2022 People won’t like it but he’s an easy sell, he’s valuable, he’d be happy to go back to Italy and we do have multiple other options at RB/LB already. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 'worried' if other clubs are no better off than us, whatever the reasons. If a flurry of transfers kicks off in the Prem and afterwards we're still in this position then perhaps I'd worry* * not really. Only if we got rid of a few and failed to land any replacements would I be particularly concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 I like Castagne, versatile, good age and his attitude is first class. Given we have Pereira and Justin as probably the first choice fullbacks any offer of around £25m we'd have to take imo. We're most likely going to need 3 first XI players and if it takes Castagne going to get the wheels in motion - we'll have to sell unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 Don't sell steady Eddy. He's a valued asset as covers multiple positions. And when fit is a bloody good RB. Of course I am assuming it's not a case of sell before he runs his contract down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadsEmil Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 The only asset we've got who isn't on the immediate "dump" list while also not being vital to the team is Kelechi. If we sold him and went for CDK as a replacement I'd consider that a hefty upgrade 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domsdad Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 So we have 3 players who all play for the number 2 ranked team in the world and we are talking here of potentially losing all 3 in this window. I would certainly want to keep hold of Castagne as he offers versatility 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
