I'm certain that Clement could get a better player in for what we paid for Dessers but as you say getting that money back will be wishful thinking.
Homegrown definitely needs looked at as I can't see Jack getting a new contract and a couple of players that could be sold with us already being short. Our budget mixed with a lack of available talent doesn't help.
Don't get me wrong I would love better in every position but we have to work with what we have got. A great deal obviously depends on what offers we get and who leaves in the summer but I think that we would miss his goals just like we missed Sakala's.
Doesn't need to be Shankland either I only suggested him because I think that Clement will look to get players in the squad with the euro squad in mind and we are missing a few player slots with the lack of homegrown players and he came to mind.
That would depend on interest although we might a decent chunk of our money back.
With Roofe off the wages I would think that we would be in for another striker anyway. It wouldn't be the worse result to be starting next season with Danilo, Dessers and Shankland as our strikers.
People need to remember that he will be behind Danillo when he is fit. It is only because of injuries that he has become our main striker by virtue of being our only striker.
He should make a decent squad player next year.
Has been a decent servant over the years, hopefully leaves with a treble won but his time was up.
I wonder if Yfeko will be back up next season and the money saved used elsewhere. A commanding CB is more important than second choice LB imo.
