Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 You have to let 4 of the current squad go to bring in 2 quality additions. Who do you release???
Window Cleaner Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 You have to let 4 of the current squad go to bring in 2 quality additions. Who do you release??? Gardos, Pied, Long and Clasie. None of them have the attributes to make keeping them at the club an obvious choice. Surprised that we're not trying to move them all on anyway, perhaps we are.
Pamplemousse Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Gardos Targett Davis (only because of his age) Long
John B Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Gardos, Pied, Long and Clasie. None of them have the attributes to make keeping them at the club an obvious choice. Surprised that we're not trying to move them all on anyway, perhaps we are. I don't think we would bring in another RB so I would keep Pied but I agree with your other ones Maybe Austin if we were to get a top quality striker or Forster if we were to get a top quality GK
Saint Garrett Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Gardos Clasie Long/Austin Targett/McQueen (Loan) All squad fluff really...
sisi1992 Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Why do people want to offload Austin? He was our top scorer last season and had he not got injured he would of scored at least 15 goals, if he stays fit he will be a major asset to our team

I wouldn't be against him gone. I think we want to cling onto him, because our front line isn't great.

At a push Targett on the left, Bertrand on the right, think we did that on a couple of occasions didn't we.
benjii Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 I think our priorities should be a mobile striker with a decent touch and a midfielder to complement Romeu. STRIKER I would release Long (unreliable) and Gallagher (I think he's got promise but I'm being told I have to release two players and if I release Austin I'm pretty short on goal-scorers if the new guy doesn't work out. Gabbi obviously is not up for release. Sign: Iheanacho MIDFIELD Release Reed and Clasie. I actually quite like both of them and I thought Clasie should have played more last season but they don't really complement Romeu, Davis and JWP. Romeu obviously needs to be kept and Davis is valuable to the squad. JWP has a higher potential than either of them. Sign: Ramires (persuade him that China is ****e).
doddisalegend Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Clasie JWP Targett Taylor Bring in two quality midfielders
IFHP Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Austin- too injury prone. Gardos - as above too injury prone and never been impressed with him when he has actually played. Target - we have better in Bertrand and McQueen. Reed - we have better.

Redslo Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Hasn't Reed gone out on loan already? Norwich I think. A message must be sent. Reed must go twice to make more room for a replacement. Or maybe he was referring to Les Reed.
nta786 Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 So basically this thread is asking us who we think are worst 4 players in the squad? I'll play the two signings part- Messi and Neuer pls
SuperSAINT Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Big season for Clasie. Think we will see a great player finally emerge. He's the only midfielder who can strike a ball and perfectly suited to Mauricios game. High energy pressing?
Cartman Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Out: Forster Gardos Targett Long In: GK Midfielder with 3 lungs If you were to extend it to 5 out and 3 in then Clasie out and another trio of lungs in.
striker Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Austin has to play, he's the best scorer we have. He and Gabbi will be a good duo. Both can get 15-20 in a full season.
The Fat Controller Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Gardos Target Taylor Reed Bring in Icardi from Inter Milan Yaya Toure
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 17 July, 2017 Author Posted 17 July, 2017 So basically this thread is asking us who we think are worst 4 players in the squad? I'll play the two signings part- Messi and Neuer pls Not really. I think we have two average players for certain positions instead of 1 great player and a back up option or understudy. I'm basically saying that if we had to consolidate in some areas, where would it be.
Baird of the land Posted 17 July, 2017 Posted 17 July, 2017 Austin ( not particularly mobile, injury prone, doesn't fit system that well imo) Gardos (injured) Targett (McQueen looked better when given his chance than targett did when given his) Gazza (Never right technically)
John B Posted 18 July, 2017 Posted 18 July, 2017 Austin ( not particularly mobile, injury prone, doesn't fit system that well imo) Gardos (injured) Targett (McQueen looked better when given his chance than targett did when given his) Gazza (Never right technically) Strange then that Targett was in the England U21 Squad and McQueen was not Getting rid of a good youngster makes no sense
sammysaint Posted 18 July, 2017 Posted 18 July, 2017 McQueen, Stephens and Reed are overrated by this fan base, all 3 are championship at best, Targett is slightly better IMO. I would get rid of Gardos, McQueen, Reed and Gazza. Reed is getting older now and not going to make it IMO at a top 8 club and play regularly, Stephens is the same but at CB you need a 4th choice with some experience.

You're completely wrong about Stephens. Looked good at the end of last season. He's still young for a CB and a season playing alongside VVD would do him the world of good. At worst he'll be a good PL level CB imo
Rebel Posted 18 July, 2017 Posted 18 July, 2017 Out: Clasie Gardos Long Davis In: Geoffrey Kondogbia for the physicality and mobility we need in central defensive midfield Hakim Ziyech - for the ACM/no 10 role both in their early 20's with the probability they are going to get better and their value go up
SuperSAINT Posted 18 July, 2017 Posted 18 July, 2017 60mins then substituted I reckon 50 mins if we start playing high tempo

He's still young for a CB and a season playing alongside VVD would do him the world of good. At worst he'll be a good PL level CB imo Okay tad harsh by me saying championship at best, but he's someone who could start for teams like Watford Burnley and Swansea on a regular basis if he carries on his development. But if he was that good and rated by the England coaches he would of started for the u21s a few weeks back.
supersonic Posted 19 July, 2017 Posted 19 July, 2017 He can't stay fit, and probably quite expensive. I wouldn't be against him gone. I think we want to cling onto him, because our front line isn't great. and yet people wanted JRod to stay?
Saint Garrett Posted 19 July, 2017 Posted 19 July, 2017 and yet people wanted JRod to stay? I was always indifferent, heart wanted him to stay as you can appreciate how good he was under Poch, but head says it was time to cut ties with him and him to get a fresh start.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 19 July, 2017 Author Posted 19 July, 2017 Dare I say it, but I'd get rid of Tadic & Boufal and replace with one player. Don't ask me who, I just feel that there must be somebody out there who is more consistent than these two. Sure, on their day they're good players but that doesn't happen enough from either of them.
