Harry Souttar

Wrexham also spending £7m on a centre back from Fiorentina

[Sly]

The fact we are potentially losing players to Wrexham. 
 

If someone had said that at the end of 15/16 ….. you’d think they were crazy. 

[JimJams]

I'm ok with the last few we lost to them though to be honest.

We should be trying to keep him and Nelson

yes but if they won't sign a new deal we need to sell this window

Back in training today

[Merchant_Banker]

I thought they normally have 2 weeks off. Maybe he is keen to get back to the club.

Australia were knocked out on July 3rd so bang on 2 weeks ago

He’s not value for money at this level. 
 

Lincoln won the league with a wage cap of 3k. Souttar will be on about 10x that. No matter his ability you can’t justify that expenditure as it’s just not needed. 
 

The average league one club loses 100k a week. We are going to be so far beyond that it’s frightening

This is the reason we need to sell, unfortunately. I like the bloke, but he will be head and shoulders above any other defender in the league and deserves to be at a higher level than us. If we were in the championship, we could keep him but @fleckneymike is correct, wages will be the issue not the player with this one, as I would love to keep him, but financially it just doesn't make sense, sadly.

Whilst true he's probably our best CB so we can't just assess strip every player and expect automatic promotion.

I'd rather move Faes and Okoli on and keep Souttar but that probably won't happen.

In an ideal scenario we loan him out and have all his wages covered and comes back when we've been promoted.

They all have to go. 
 

We don’t need any of them.
 

This level is so bad that we can get players on a fraction of the wage that will still be head and shoulders above everyone else.

If we have to keep one of our senior centre backs then it needs to be Souttar for me. He was excellent last few games of last season. Hopefully he's in the first team plans and we're looking for buyers for Faes and Okoli. Nelson is going to be an interesting one, feels like he wants a fresh start if he's not going to sign a new deal. Can see him going

We need a total rebuild, no senior player is not for sale.

 

At the end of the season he will have 1 year left on his contract, it will be a case of signing a new one or b sold.

 

He's just come back from a World Cup were he play well, he probably going to be at his most selling now and we can get a decent price.

 

End of the season his price will be a lot less.

 

Sell and bring in some who a good young CB and grow and develop them.

The issue with selling our best players is that the money will be used to service our debts NOT to reinvest in the playing squad. I'm not saying that I wouldn't sell Soutter (I would), but the fans who are expecting us to reinvest this money are deluded. We will be shopping in the free transfer and loans market this Summer.

[jv1]

Got to try and keep him - our best cb by a country mile - get Okoli and faes gone - this guy is everything you need in league one

27 out and 27 in then??? 

 

I would argue Souttar wasn't with us last season so wasn't part of the toxic culture we had.

Yes this level is crap but we still need enough quality to get out of this league.

We've finally started to shift high earners and toxic players with is a great start (for once).

Okoli,  Faes  n Choudhury next to go imo and start Souttar n Nelson together for the first game.
