Outgoing Rumours

We'd need to sell for around €11m to be no worse off in terms of PSR. Parma have spent more than that on a few players in the summer so they can bollocks if they try and plead poverty.

What am I missing here, A current Italian International for 11million is just daft. The Club should really be looking for a profit on him surely since we've only just signed him.

 

Ot does Ruud want rid of him. While he keeps Faes just doesn't make sense.

Surely they can plead poverty on the basis they’ve spent their budget in the summer ?

Very tight at the bottom of Serie A, after years in the wilderness they can't afford to risk going down again. They're investing in young talent but they need it to work.

Is the place of Parma anything to do with Parma Violets or Parma ham or both? What about the Parma that people in Middlesbrough love? Or is it Parmo?

RC Lens as a replacement for Khusanov. Team up with Will Still again 😂

Let's hope so!

[Mickyblueeyes]

Quite surprised there isnt more noise around Faes. He was keen to leave in the summer and is third choice now - it be great for all parties if he did move on.

[RowlattsFox]

I imagine we can't get rid of Faes and Okoli.

I think his performances for us and Belgium this season are enough to put anyone with half a brain off!

Naaah he's the sort of player that clubs get hoodwinked they can iron out the mistakes and then they've got a major asset on their hands.

Surely not even worth entering outgoing negotiations with a italian club, they are not going to have the money to break even on our psr books unless the right back money is coming straight back to us for a season long loan.

“after Vogliacco, the club could buy another central defender: the first option is #Okoli”

Keep Okoli, sell Faes

[TommyK]

Sell both. **** it we're down anyway. Might as well get rid of the rubbish

I imagine Okoli perhaps just hasn't settled along with not being in Ruud's plans. All the rumours suggest a direct sale, you don't do that unless someone really doesn't want to be away from home anymore.

[Ric Flair]

I'd only sell Okoli if two things occur, 1) we get a fee above or equal to what we paid and 2) he's not settled and wants to go back to Italy.

 

Faes is the defender we should be trying to sell and possibly Coady if anyone would be interested but I'd probably look to move him on in the summer rather than now.

Just a hunch but have a feeling it may be he's not settled, coupled with not being in RVN plans.

[kingfox]

Seems inevitable that one of Okoli or Faes will go in this window, with a new LCB/LB coming in. 
 

Thoroughly expect a defensive revamp to start this month, then continuing into the summer with Faes and maybe Coady then departing, while Nelson comes back into the mix.
 

[Happy Fox]

Lindelöf one of the replacements being mooted is that right?

I think we should be open to offers for any of the CBs other then Vesty.

 

Can't believe I've written that.

For me, I think the same but would include vesty aswell. If we could replace the back 4 I would. 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Let's sell all our defenders and play 0-6-4
