graeme_4 34,663 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Was looking at the 11 and subs yesterday, and we’re actually looking like a pretty steady and settled side now - although that could change come the transfer window. Think we’ll be saving a fair bit on wages without too much effect on the squad depending on who we shift... Loans expired: Worrall, Coulibally, Kent (might be back) Contracts expired: Wallace, McAuley, Hodgson Out on loan, but likely to be moved on (1 year to go): Alnwick, Holt, Dodoo Perma injured: Rossiter, Dorrans Gerrard’s naughty list: Grezda, Barasic, Lafferty Unsure (needing first team football): Fod, Docherty, Hardie Potentially sold: Tav and Morelos (hopefully not) —— Good opportunity to put some of the freed up wages on real quality. Edit: can’t remember what the deal with Pena and Herrera is. Forgot about the useless bastards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 If we were actually guaranteed (big IF) circa £28 million for Morelos and Tav plus whatever king puts in maybe another £6m. That’s a huge kitty for SG to be working with to get the required quality in to win the league. People will say we’d be stupid to sell them and we’ll have to agree to disagree on that but unfortunately that’s the market we are operating in now, buying cheap and selling big is the model while we play in this footballing backwater. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pena is away to some 2nd division Polish team on a permanent. Herrera was papped back pout on loan and I imagine will be either sold or released in the summer.

If you’d listen to Gerrard over the past year, gone are the days of us selling our players for buttons. We’ve all got all the bargaining chips both players are under long contracts.

Dembele went to Lyon for £20 million so there’s your precedent. He’s also a far better player than Dembele. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,815 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 A dozen or more could leave and it would have zero impact on our first team such is their lack of contribution. Unfortunately its next summer not this one that we'll have more flexibility as more go out of contract. Gerrard and Allen have got their work cut out trying to offload some of this lot sooner which really would be beneficial for our transfer kitty.

Armstrong was a standout in a treble winning team with international and Champions League experience. Morelos is a better player than he was when he was here but there are other factors. It's irrelevant anyway because we won't be reinvesting that type of money on the playing squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would A) because I don’t think Gerrard would be pleased if his best players were being sold and he wasn’t given all the money to reinvest in the team. B) we’re two season away from having 10 in a row rubbed in our noses for all time. Desperate times and all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile 26,610 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Should win the league at a canter next year with all this money to spend and Rossiter and Docherty turning into Bale and Messi how can we not win it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
