Last Week of the Window Outgoings - What Needs to Happen

Those concerned by the lack of movement would do well to consider the reality of the situation. Clubs know we want rid of these players. The longer they leave it, the stronger their negotiating position. 

No doubt there will be a few deals like appear to spring out of nowhere where really they're already being discussed. Sure, there is a chance some stay or some go on loan, but I can see a few deals that look impossible right now taking place before the end of tomorrow.

It is also possible that some compromises may have to be reached. For example, it has been suggested that we may end up selling/loaning Disasi or Badiashile and instead keeping Chalobah. I wonder if the club may be forced to consider re-integrating Chilwell and loaning Veiga?

Chalobah, Chilwell and Chukwuemeka possibly leaving really annoys me. All 3 are good enough and even better than some of the players we have, but they are being forced out. It's a joke. I'm also not stupid enough to believe this is coming from Maresca either, it's the owners. I see absolutely no reason why Chalobah can't fit in our defence, he easily gets in ahead of Disasi and Badiashile. Chukwuemeka could have been a great option off the bench, and if we can keep him fit, I think he can be a really good footballer. As for Chilwell, I don't think he will ever be an inverted full back, but you can't rely on plan A and plan A only. There are going to be games where it doesn't work and we need somebody different there, and with Cucurella in the side, you know there are going to be days where he is completely out of it and is run ragged. Also, Gusto isn't exactly doing so great as an inverted full back right now either, he's a very similar type of full back to Chilwell. They both like to play as attacking full backs. So I call bullsh*t on Maresca saying Chilwell isn't the type of player he is looking for. He's not your type of player because the owners want rid, that's it.

I totally agree. I highly doubt that Maresca decided that he has no place for Chilwell etc. These announcements are based on what he is being driven to say by the Directors.

Can see the first happening but not the second. 

Of all the players being pushed out, I think Chilwell is the most genuine Meresca decision. Veiga is capable of playing multiple positions in Maresca's system, Chilwell is capable of none. 

Should certainly be an entertaining 36 hours or so, I can't wait for it to be done so we can push on. Although some windows may remain open so sales will still be possible.

I agree in rgds to trev and chucky but not so much chilly. Trev may yet stay if one or both disaster brothers leave.

Chucky unfortunately won't get game time because there's a few ahead of him. Going on loan would be the best thing for him, for minutes then coming back next year. Unless nkunku and felix get injured that is then we may need to recall him, that's why I hope its not a sale but just a loan.

Chilly...you're right he is a gusto type player more than an inverted wing back but gusto has the speed to get back if he played him inverted, chilly doesn't unfortunately. 

Personally though I'm not really upset about chilly going, even though there was a nice article today about him (I was angry afterwards but calmed down after just taking time to think logically).

He's too slow for plan b or c (and whatever the inverted option is) and is really injury prone. If we can get a good price for him then I'd thank him for giving his all to the club and wish him a great time on the rest of his footballing journey. Hopefully veiga can step up as a second to cucu and tbh I really like what I've seen of him so far.

Seems obvious to me that someone (potentially many) are going to draw the short straw here and be stuck after the windows closed. And Maresca confirmed yesterday there is no chance any of them gets back to the first-team so its an odd situation that the club could have handled much better.

This might be said to just encourage them to look for a move.

Two weeks after deadline if we have injuries I could see them being drafted in at least until the December window.

 
I hope Stewart and Winstanley are well rested today, as they now have less than 15 hours to sort out deals for Osimhen, Sancho, Chalobah, Broja, Disasi, Gabriel, Sterling, Chilwell, Petrovic, Carney, Casadei, Washington, Vale and Matos.

Busy hours ahead!

Osimhen is going Saudi 🤞 

Sancho...I hope not coming. 

Broja... is staying for rehab so won't be registered. He needs his ankle sorted. Training and playing with development team when ready. Confirmed.

Petrovic is at strasbourg. Confirmed.

Vale gone to can't remember where but I haven't seen confirmation.

So that's 4 maybe 5 off the list. Fingers and toes 🤞 for the rest.

Still 17 to sell/loan I reckon ... 

GK: Kepa, Bergstrom, Petrovic

DEF: Chalobah, Chilwell, possibly one of Disasi/Badiashile

MID: Casadei, Matos

ATT MID: Sterling, Chukwuemeka, Vale, Anjorin, Angelo Gabriel

FWD: Lukaku, Broja, D.Fofana, Washington

Hopefully sign a striker and a centre back.

3 officially down (as per club's own web site) ... 14 to go !

Red Bold for sold ; Orange Bold for Loans.

Petrovic has apparently now accepted a loan to Strasbourg but not confirmed yet.

Broja now looking like Maresca's "new" striker LOL as his loan/obligation move to Ipswich is off 🙂 

 
Broja won't be registered as he'll be on rehab. No one will buy him and we can't play him if his ankle is buggered. If he's fixed before January then I guess he will be up for sale then. If fixed after the window closes in january then he joins development squad till summer.

Yeah, just saw the Osimhen news. Can’t wait to start again next summer with the «Osimhen not happy in Saudi and wants to go to Chelsea, but not for less money»😂

I completely forgot that D. Fofana existed!

To be fair, he’s probably somewhat better than Guiu atm so who knows what we’ll do if we cant sell him and we dont get a striker in

Vale turned down Saudi. Deal off. Maybe the allure of Bristol Rovers was too much.

I'm expecting them to shift Matos, and only Matos, and get ever so close to signing Osimhen having spent all day faffing around only to mis the deadline and for him to reluctantly pick up his kings ransom in Saudi.

 
I quite like what Guiu offers and he’s only 18, so he’ll learn from the mistakes he makes. I also liked when DD Fofana played for us (was it against West Ham that he played quite well?), so I’m content with them and Jackson as our choices until a proven quality striker become available. I think CB cover of quality is more important, to be honest.

Actually that might work in our favour!

He hates Saudi so much, one year was enough and he comes here on reduced wages. Never know bud. I still don't rate him as high as others though it seems. Lol

I have a feeling most of the outgoings are waiting for dominos to fall. Maybe Osimhen and Sterling deals are the ones that need to tip over for most of the deals to happen.

No chance of dominos falling today. They'll be selling pizzas long after this lot have disappeared from the headlines.
