That'll be the VVD £50mill then. PS anyone seen the tweets about player unrest - Long, VVD and Bertrand saying they're off if Puel isn't? Sounds like an excuse, but have to say I wouldn't shed a tear if Puel was dispensed with. Just hasn't got it for me. too many abject performances and needless squad rotation, imbued with no character whatsoever

 

To be fair, someone posted this in the post city match thread:

 

 

 

Of course could also be BS, however its not the first we've heard about unrest with certain players in the dressing room...

 

So how does this work then, these ultimatums that if Puel remains we're off kind of issues ?

 

Does it remain tittle-tattle on the training ground and in changing rooms, or do their agents bombard Les Reed with this ?Alternatively does Kelvin as a player liaison, or whatever his role is, get to take this back to Reed?

The list of things I think need to be addressed this summer:

 

1. The future of VVD

2. The purchase of at least one 'ready' centre half. Two if VVD leaves. What the past few months has shown is that Jack Stephens would make an excellent fourth choice centre half and Yoshida would be an excellent backup centre half. Gardos can move on as we have some excellent prospects that can take his role.

3. The future of Jay Rod - he doesn't seem happy to me and I can't see him staying if he is third choice for single position in the team.

 

Anything else depends on departures.

 

1. how? he's got 5 years left anyway.....we do not need to sell.

2. agree on one decent CB....Stephens looking better than I thought he would to be fair so hope there. Yoshida had a decent season, so one better than both will be excellent.

3. He has to go for his own career and I wish him well in doing so, we have clearly moved beyond him now. But when he leaves (and I think Long will too because he's not really suitable for Puel's style, which is fine by me) we probably need 2. One decent one to compete with Austin and Gabbiadini, and one with potential - or possibly Gallagher.

 

Others......sell Classie, replace with a better DM. Get rid of Martina. Sign Hassan if good enough and let Gazzaniga go, hopefully McCarthy is fit again.

Bit more on this;

Surely it will never be £25m?! Also not sure its a position we desperately need, unless of course we are shifting on Dusan (or dare I say it, Boufal)

PRE-EMPTING THIS FORUM:

 

Can we avoid comparison to Gaston Ramirez because he has the same name, or Juanmi because he came from the same club...? Lets instead judge a player on his own merits rather than irrelevant & flawed comparison to another player.

Certainly not our 1st link with the player either.

The article says he is 21 but from the picture he looks closer to 40

Slightly concerned that his team mates don't seem to like him - seems rare they congratulate him on scoring. Suppose context needed.

The no.39 who sets up a bunch of his goals looks handy too.

Juanmi has had a fantastic season away from Koeman. It's a shame we sold him tbh, I think he would have had a great year under PUPuel!

On today's evidence, Andrea Ranocchia would be ideal. Hull have only got him on loan from Inter so he's available.

 

Wouldn't judge a defender based on a performance against us.... we don't give it to our best player and pass it side to side for 85 minutes of the game.

What a sad end to the season. Well, at least we have a few easy games coming up against teams with nothing to play for :(

This worries me. Even if we've got little to play for, a weak end to the season doesn't generate any confidence for the next campaign and will influence players tempted to leave. A strong finish sends everyone off on their break looking forward to starting again in August.

Players look to leave after record breaking seasons too, as we know.
