aintforever Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 They get annoyed because they've been sucked into the false hysteria generated, mainly by Sky, trying to make it important to spend as much as possible. Again and again we hear the media talking about clubs needing to spend, and criticising those that don't, as if the spending league actually matters. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk I think it’s more because we’re one injury-prone striker away from starting with Shane Long up front for the remainder of the season.

Exactly. And Ramsey at RB if Valery gets injured/suspended (again). But that's ok, think of all the wages we're saving by loaning out Cedric for a couple of months.

scousesaint84 Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 would people rather buy a player just for the sake of making a signing? If there is no real option to bring in a player for the right money this window, then surely the club should keep the funds for the summer when lets face it we will be having a huge clear out. Some might lable it a fire sale but when its players who are already behind the young players in the pecking order surely its sensible? reduce the wages spent on players who dont get near the first team. Frees up a large amount of wages for young up and coming players. Che Adams rumoured to be happy with 35k a week. How much have we wasted in wages on those out on loan?

SuperSAINT Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 Jordan D'Ambrosio: Without a club currently after refusing to sign pro with his club trainer, Sochaux, who was close to engage with Paris Saint-Germain last summer is not lacking pretenders. According to our information, the 18-year-old striker, international with the Blues youth teams, is actually followed by FC Barcelona, Sevilla, as well as two English clubs, Cardiff and Southampton. Catalans and Saints have recently come to the news recently. It will be necessary to pay 300.000 € of training allowances to offer it.

Saint Benali Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 Recall Hoedt and Cedric now. Top players and needed as played a massive part since Ralph has taken over. Relegation beckons if not recalled now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Personally I think Cedric should of stayed. I think we can all agree that the squad needed a cull. Too many players who just were not good enough. But whilst we are 3 points from the drop zone having them all go with nobody lined up is madness. If Reed was still here and we had the window we have had he would be slated for it. Just because he isn't here anymore shouldn't be any different. Right now our outfield players with a lot of experience at this level are Romeu, Lemina, Ings, Bertrand, Austin, Long, Redmond, JWP, Hoj, Yoshi and Stephens. I am all for giving the kids a chance as how do you know if they are good enough if they don't play? I don't see the benefit of getting rid of Cedric and Gabbi with nobody lined up. This window is huge for us and the team cull should happen in the summer. Sending people out on loan and saying we will rely on the kids is very commendable. But it makes a weak squad even weaker imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Benali Posted 29 January, 2019 Share Posted 29 January, 2019 If someone is not playing, or being rubbish when they do, there's really nothing to replace. Hardly fair on Gabbi as he didn't get much of a chance. He saved us last year remember. Cedric has had a bit of a mare but frankly up until Ralph took over everyone had. By that logic we should ditch Mo, Long, Bertrand etc too as they have either been **** or injured. See if there are some more kids about. We are one place above the drop zone. We are not there because Cedric, Gabbi, Hoedt, Davis etc have been crap. We are there because as a whole squad we haven't been good enough for a long time. If Ings gets an injury do you think Austin and Long will get the goals we need? Or Gallagher and Obafemi? Defence wise I think we have only one clean sheet since October including Ralphs games? As I said with nothing lined up I don't think sending those players out on loan makes us stronger. Unexperienced players learning their trade at the top level is a risk. We should know more than most putting too many kids into a team with little experience is a risk that doesn't always pay off. If they however are an unsettling influence on the other players it is the right move. You can see the togetherness the players have which we seriously lacked under our last few managers. If one of the reasons for that is because those who are gone were kept away than that is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a contradiction, how many games has Cedric started in those last 4 games? And if Bertrand was fit would he have been on the bench? Didn’t Ramsay even start over him? The other players have improved because they have bought into Ralph. Hoedt, Gabbi, Davis and Cedric either didn’t want too or weren’t capable. This is something Ralph said from day one. Cedric for me is replaceable, and don’t really see him leaving and not being replaced till the summer a problem. Let’s hope I’m right.
