Lallana's Left Peg Posted 19 June, 2019 Share Posted 19 June, 2019 Doesn't mean nothing is happening in the background of course, but absolutely nothing in the media (according to my lazy Google searches) around Cedric or Hoedt leaving even though they are clearly surplus to requirements.

Couldn’t begrudge him a move to either of those clubs, however if we can get £15mill for either him or Targett I, and most, would rather sell the latter (appreciating differences with age, contract length etc).

Badger Posted 19 June, 2019 Share Posted 19 June, 2019 Don't disagree with this in principle as I believe we have seen his best years. Worrying part is the bit about the a deal under 10m and promoting Targett to 1dt choice. Agree on both points.But if RB does leave, hopefully for far more than £10m, I still think Ralph could secure a replacement from Bundesliga as opposed to Targett becoming first choice.

Saint Garrett Posted 20 June, 2019 Share Posted 20 June, 2019 He’s worth £20m maybe more in the current market despite his age. He may not have had the best season but IMO he’s still up there with the best in the league. Can’t they take Targett and Cedric instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect we'll see more movement after that, but a lot of these players will be hard to shift I reckon. Cedric, Austin, maybe Clasie you'd think wouldn't be too difficult to shift as there are some takers, but Carillo, Hoedt and Forster I'd think would be a lot harder.

the saint in winchester Posted 21 June, 2019 Share Posted 21 June, 2019 Callum Wilson available for £35M. The question I am asking - and haven't answered myself yet - is "is he worth twice as much as Che Adams?" Massive upgrade on Chas Austin, but can Che be that for half the outlay?

Ultimatt Posted 22 June, 2019 Share Posted 22 June, 2019 I don't think Wilson's worth anything near that. He scored a bunch of goals last season because Bournemouth were attack attack attack flooding players forward every game. They scored the most goals outside of the big 6 but worth noting they had the 3rd worst defence only edging out Fulham and Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusic Posted 22 June, 2019 Share Posted 22 June, 2019 Via Kristof Terreur (@HLNinEngeland): Genk’s right back Joakim Maehle got linked to Sevilla, Napels, Dortmund, Atletico en Man United in a paper in Danmark. Genk haven’t heard anything from United and they haven’t approached the player either. AWB is still United’s main target, but no final agreement as yet. IMO since Valery's emergence this one is over. Maehle would want to be a first choice and Valery deserves to be after last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen anyone suggest that we should. However, the club only has so much cash and there are more important positions to spend it on than right back.
