beepee1984 Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Our 2023/24 line up Iversen (Deserves his chance as 1st team GK) Ricardo / Justin (Can't sell either with their injury records, so whichever is fit can start) Souttar (Looks like a Championship defender) Faes (Not convinced, but will need someone who isn't afraid of a challenge) Kristensen (I think he will turn out a decent player) New Ball Winning DM or Hamza Choudhary (Mendy out of contract, Ndidi needs selling, Soumare not good enough) New CM who can pass the ball (or possibly a young creative AM like Alex Scott) KDH (Honestly think we need a whole new midfield, but have to be realistic on how many signings we can bring in who will better our first 11) New RW (Realistically we need a new RW, but we will end up with Albrighton as a new RW has been on our shopping list since 1963) Jack Clarke (From Sunderland, most assists in Championship this season and we need creativity) Iheanacho / Daka (Can we keep them? Both surely have goals in them at this level) Although we need a leader, a captain and if the right person comes along Iversen/Faes could easily be dropped for a player with leadership Our Bye Bye 11 (Plus more) Ward Amartey Evans Soyuncu (And Vestergaard) Castagne (Bertrand not that he counts as he has hardly played) Tielemans Ndidi (And Mendy) Soumare Maddison (And Tete) Barnes Iheanacho / Daka (Can't see us keeping both) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Championship teams play with two upfront we aren't going to play with one upfront it would be criminal to do so at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it amusing that’s all, I’m sure you meant it the way you say there! Yes I’m sure he would smash it over 40 odds games at that level but that would be because that level is lower than his standard. I suspect we’ll see a more consist’s Barnes at a more competent club in the Prem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard123 Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Am I only the only one thinking we play hard ball with Barnes. As in he will have a relegation clause and we may refuse to sell. Guessing this depends on him and our finances. If we don't need to sell we have every right to make him stay. We are massively short on wide players. Just a though. Crazy as it sounds...

Same with any player. If people offer us 20-30 mill we'll just keep him like Watford did with many of their players when offered less than they wanted.

Strawberry_Jam Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 (edited) I feel like there is a bit of denial in some of the comments on who is likely to stay. There are some huge contracts that need to be taken off the wage bill. Iversen Smithies Justin Souttar Thomas Kristiansen Choudhury Dewsbury-Hall Daka (even that is a push) I think if we have these players left at the end of the window I'd be happy. Young hungry players to build around, and bring in the same. This is a chance for a nice exciting rebuild but only if all the players not mentioned above are sold some way or another.

ParkerPen Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 people saying KDH will be shit at championship level - Luton hardly thought that I'd rather Choudhury than Ndidi, unless by some miracle we get the non-fragile and actual player version of Ndidi circa 2019, and not the 40 year old man we have now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fansincethe80s Posted 29 May 2023 Share Posted 29 May 2023 Alves and Braybrook have had massive injuries and won’t be fit for preseason, there are no guarantees they will get back to their best.. we don’t know if they are actually going to cut it at CCC level.

Think you are being very optimistic in the extreme on some of those transfer fees and a bit negative on others.Would be astonished if we only got £65m for Maddison and Barnes combined.However that would not be as surprising as getting £15m for the imposter who is parading as N’didi or £15m for Soumare.Also will get nothing for Mendy he is out of contract.
