What's new

Which players should we keep?

What about Washington, Kellyman, Paez, Ansilmino come on shout them out if you can even remember some of the names.

How many millions on players who never even pulled on a shirt for us. Let alone the dross that currently make up half the squad. How are people not fired already?

That is what I can’t wrap my head around. A normal business would have brought in external consultants at some point before blowing through £1b to advise on what was going wrong, instead we have brought in a random bloke to manage a £b football club

 
Reckon that the number of departures will be directly proportional to the number of acquisitions available during the transfer window; if we are considering quality over quality focusing on specific positions, then I don't see how a big roster revamp can be even possible.

We don't need to sell everyone.

Let's just look at winger situation. ( I have never watched Quenda so I can't comment and we need to wait to see what will happen to Estevao)

Garnacho is not great but as 4th winger he is fine. Gittens is extremely raw but as 4/5th winger he is fine. Neto is absolutely fine as 3rd winger.

The key is we need that 1st and 2nd option. This what we need but all us know we will get some 18 years old instead.

There is a dearth of good wingers, and the arms race by PL clubs for No 9s also means there are none on the market. In a market where Anthony Gordon is valued at €90m, I would be cautious about spending big money on a winger. We have no European football next season, and can’t even spend big so we need to be prudent. Sell Garnacho, Gittens has lost a season so I would sell also and include buybacks + sell on clauses in case they come good. You then have Quenda, Estevao & Neto. Mitoma has 1yr left, so a £40m deal will do. I will also try getting Harry Wilson as a free agent. You add experience without breaking the bank. Granted they are not top quality options, they allow you to give quality mins to Quenda & Estevao. I will also fast track Eboue into the first team to avoid another Ngumoha situation, and loan out Derry to Lamps.

No thanks. He had a purple patch which ended as quickly as it started. Good Championship level player.

For someone who constantly reminds us of PSGs wages what club has a 4th choice winger earning £120-160kpw?

 
My frustration really comes from the fact the players just havent looked like theyve cared since Maresca walked.

Even worse is our form, it is bottom 3 material. We are showing Burnley form.

I think even when we were bad and had the "rats" we didnt look as lethargic as we do currently. I blame the slump on the players even if LR was a super gash manager.

Really disappointed with the players, seriously underwellimng and hence why i dont really care who leaves this summer.

Hang on; who is their 4th choice winger on £120k-£160k/w? They have 4 wingers in Kvaratskhelia, Doue, Barcola, Kang-in Lee with youth player Mbaye stepping in. It’s on Kvaeatskhelia that is on €350k/w/w which includes performance bonuses, and remember he was on €250k/w at Napoli. Barcola & Doue are on €130k/w, & 4th choice Kang-in Lee is on €90k/w.

What they have done brilliantly is having a quality and compact 18 first team players, supplemented by 6-7 youth products. In contrast we have 26 and Josh.

Vitinha has spent most of the season injured, Mayulu & Zaire have benefited with game time even though they play a 4-4-3-3 with Neves & Ruiz the only senior options. You had Maresca saying he needed another CB when Colwill was injured, but he had 6 CBs to choose from for 2 places.

This is a very important point. Whenever I watch PSG at pretty much any point in the season they have almost a full team to choose from. A lack of intensity in their league, accommodation made by their league administrators, it all adds up to them being able to manage their squad far better than any of the top quality English sides, or us come to that.

Who? Garnacho? Garnacho is our 2nd winger.

And how much do you think for example Semenyo is earning?

I saw a crazy stat that say marquinhos only played 8 games in ligue 1 that make me check psg player minutes in ligue 1 and it is minblowingly low.

 
Don't care anymore, I really don't feel any connection with the team or any of the players, which is really sad.

Feels like losing a part of yourself doesn't it? Or maybe is more like losing a dear friend.

Interestingly, looking at that table, it's telling how badly run West Ham have been and how profligate with the rice money when their gearing is at 74% on £172m and with their revenue about to halve to about £100m.

Also for all those saying we don't need a bigger better venue, Tottenham's 44% gearing against £240m can't be just on low wages surely. We only ever hear of our salary cap.
