Not getting a run of games, unlikely to see us play this season with 2 strikers or Kels as a 10 and strikers sell for a premium. ....Nacho's record though very good, still leaves a player out on the pitch, you are not sure of what he is going to bring from game to game!!! Other scouts would be aware of this, and going for a potential abroad or from the Championship would be a more astute acquisition, than taking a chance with Nacho. The possibility that a club could take the chance can not be ruled out, but clubs will be aware of his inconsistencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have any actual right backs at all now after selling Trippier in January and Vrsjalko has left on a free so they are definitely in the market for at least 1 They ended up using Llorente as a right back / right wing back the 2nd half of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's not, my comments are about 'worrying'. I'm not 'worried' if other clubs are no better off than us, whatever the reasons. If a flurry of transfers kicks off in the Prem and afterwards we're still in this position then perhaps I'd worry* * not really. Only if we got rid of a few and failed to land any replacements would I be particularly concerned. The fact we can't bring any players in isn't worrying for you?

It sounds to me like Tanner has absolutely no clue what is going on, so has made up this bollocks. If we were that desperate to sell, there are a number of players who we could sell before Castagne. If money was really the issue, I am sure one of Madders or Fofana would already be gone as we would be looking at a kings ransome for either. I think we just have too many average squad fillers on inflated wages who we are struggling to shift. Not a case of having no money, but FFP will mean we need to get rid of their wages before we add, especially now we have no Europe to fall back on this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 I'm not desperate to be rid of him by any means but I'd be tempted to let him go if we received a sizeable offer and it led to us bringing in a quality left-footed left back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 He is not a key member of the squad, he is a regular starter and he is a good player. If he is the only one we can get what we feel is a fair value, that can be subsequently reinvested, so be it. Would be sad to see him go to be honest.

Jabfox Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 Would be interested to see who we would go for if we did let him go. I would certainly take a look at Devyne Rensch from Ajax, 18 and can play RB/LB probably a bit young but this is the sort of transfer model we should follow imo.

Dames Posted 15 July 2022 Share Posted 15 July 2022 Imagine if we sell Castange and still have Betrand on the books. Horrific. If space is an issue and according to some sources funds aren’t why don’t we just pay Betrands last year up in full? I mean he’s going to get them wages anyway.

Same here Literally, if we have to sell Castagne to raise some funds for transfers we really are in the shit financially. I honestly think the club has been run very poorly over the last couple of years re the playing side, transfers, contracts etc I don’t KNOW this, of course it’s just based on what I see and read. We have so many piss poor players on sizeable contracts at the club. I gave up a little when I read Hamza is on 60k per week. Whoever sanctioned that needs sacking. In any other walk of life, they would be sacked for financial mismanagement. But football is its own world. It’s such bad succession planning to still be having to pay rubbish like Bertrand, Vestergaard, (and Amartey imo too). These are players we just won’t sell. They’ll be here until their contracts run down. To even think about having to sell Castagne is disastrous if true.

There’s still plenty of time for us to sell other members of the squad. At this rate he’s going to get the majority of that 80k a week during the financial year anyway. Its money we have to pay, either do it up front or negotiate a deal and get him off the books. In some cases you can negotiate a settlement thats lower than what you’d end up paying.

Either or. Just him leaving gives him a chance to continue his career somewhere else. Either pay him up front or keep paying him over the year. There isn’t any point in him being here anymore. If we were really lucky we could negotiate a settlement that involves us paying less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
