Doesn’t have Grealish’s skill on the ball or Saka’s ability to beat his man. Can’t argue with his numbers mind. For all of ASM’s skill, which was a joy to watch when he was on song, his numbers weren’t good enough, simply not comparable to the players listed on that tweet, and his injury record made him expendable Edited July 20, 2023 by Dr Gloom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World domination can wait I know that 90% of this board probably only have about ten years left to see us win a trophy but for us young 'uns we've plenty of time to wait. Missing out on Europe would be a massive set back in our development and inevitably lead to the breaking up of some of the side. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2124 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Reports saying that Darlow will leave the US tour if talks keep progressing with Bournemouth. Hull and Leeds didn't want to pay the 5m we were looking for. If we can get 5m for Darlow who's 32, even if that's not that old for a keeper, it will represent some decent business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3563 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yeah that's decent business for him. Shifting the deadwood is important. Hope we can move some of the other ones to championship sides, or even on loans that can pay a decent chunck of their wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Loans with an obligation to buy could be interesting. You might end up having to pay more for a player in the long run, but being able to push the payments into next season would obviously be desirable from an FFP standpoint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats huge money for a kid off the back of a big injury. Tripper to move to LB? Edited July 20, 2023 by Kid Dynamite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 35305 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Good bit of movement if this and Barnes go through in the next few days. That's some of the main priorities addressed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm still not convinced Livramento will play LB, and that we won't still need someone to play ahead of Burn down that side. Livramento still makes a lot of sense given his potential, his and Trippier's respective ages, and the need for quality cover all over the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could still do a job I reckon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 5022 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We’d be racking up the right backs. Tripper, Krafh, Ashby, Manquillo and Tino. surely flog off Krafh and Manquillo this summer (somehow) if Ashby is good enough to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
