We've heard Rowe to replace Neto, still the case?

Knows the club, on a free

 

[Tony Towner]

I've been on a lot of negotiation courses over the years, strangely this strategy has never been covered.

[Deutsch Wolf]

[Kenny]

If we did a prediction League based on @Deutsch Wolf GIF responses, I reckon I would be bastard top of that league

Brexit style negotiating...

Personally I'd look at Whittaker to replace Sarabia.

It's have no problem putting RAN in the inside forward right either.

Rowe is an option but there will be plenty on the list I don’t know about.
Also as I said it’ll depend if we bring in two number 9’s and use Hwang wider or whether it’s just one striker and we will then need an extra wide forward.
I agree on RAN, impressive when played as an inside forward. If we sign a left back that could be a big sign GON agrees.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

You can’t lose Neto and Sarabia and not replace them! What’s wrong with people.

I did say have a look at chiquino (pre season) and there's still bellegarde.
Even if we get decent money for neto and sarabia, i can't see jeff spending money on anything but a decent cf and cb.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Well we won't get good money for Sarabia given his age. But his wages are crazy - highest earner by far so that would give us (more) headroom to sign Pogba...

 

[C.L.D]

This squad is as it stands right now just by the numbers, is at minimum a striker, forward and CB away from what should be a basic squad in the Prem. Doesn't account for players on loan or youth promotion.

20 players this season were what we were running as first team squad, including King as 3rd GK. 20th in minutes played this season was Fabio. LOL. So I think 23 is a decent number, especially when you consider the quality issues we have.

So any transfers out, like Neto and SA, would have to have someone ready to transfer in and ideally another target to help cover a hole...which hopefully they don't fall back on relying on returning loanees (with exception of Mosquera).

Upgrading quality in different positions feels like a distant hope at this stage, just need signings so not stuck in the situation we were Feb-May.

Burnley trigger one-year Brownhill contract extension

Burnley have triggered the one-year extension option in Josh Brownhill’s contract. The central midfielder was set to become a free agent, but the club have executed the 12-month clause that was inserted into his deal when he arrived in January 2020. The vice-captain has made 32 Premier League...

Not on a free so absolutely don't want him now, we don't need to pay money for a filler CM.

 

[Del Woppio]

Good news that he's off the list. Though I dread to think what kind of shmuck he beat into second place

We'll probably find out soon enough.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's an odd position to prioritise. If Joao leaves (I don't think he will) then maybe there's a conversation to be had but otherwise, if you're looking along the free/low cost end of the market, you're basically after someone to usurp Joe Hodge in the pecking order. Joe Hodge who has started 1 PL game for us ever and it will remain that way as he is one of the worst footballers I've seen play for us in the 21st century.

You may as well leave it alone and concentrate on the areas where we actually are weak, like we don't own an actual striker that's fit for current purpose, or we have no depth if more than one attacking player is injured at any one time, or Matt Doherty has still been getting Premier League minutes in 2024, or how our error-prone keeper is under no pressure as his back-up is League One standard, or how all our centre halves have at least one glaring weakness and the best one of them is 34 now.

 

[C.L.D]

So what we need is another LB (free transfer obvs)

I'd take Sessegnon who is on a free.

Gomes from City may be a low price alternative.

“There were some positive bits around what we might not have to do as a club,” said O’Neil. “We are in a much better position than we were last summer, when we needed to sell players.

“We don’t need to sell anybody. If we didn’t want to see players, we could sell nobody this summer. But as I’ve said already, the money coming in (from owners Fosun) won’t be as big as it used to be, when we were able to sign players for £30million or £40 million and not sell anybody.

“That won’t be happening. But we have some assets out on loan that will either come back and make the group stronger or come back and be sold to give us some opportunity to do some business.

“But anybody that we’re desperate not to lose can definitely stay here. We’ve had discussions — at least the first of them — and come out of it with a good understanding of what we’re trying to do.”
