The deadwood chronicles

Status
Not open for further replies.
I can't wait till we get rid of all the deadwood so we can go into the season with newly renegotiated contracts. Watching people slowly age is so exciting, it's why there is so much pornography about long, emotionally enriching successful marriages.
 
What other outgoings can we expect?

Wilson 12M?
Shaqiri/Minamino £12-13m?

That's the Konate fee covered with about £10M left over. Realistically the best you can hope for is we get one more £30M player, leaving us with a net-spend of £20M. FSG rarely spend any more per year at the best of times. The rebuild/evolution will be put on ice for another year.
 
10-12 mill for Wilson
10-12 mill for Shaqiri
12-15 mill for Origi

2 players in, midfielder and a striker
 
A fake Spaniard breaking news on a Welshman transferring between English clubs seems a bit mad. And fake.
 
Woohoo!
We did it people! We finally broke even.
This is down to the hard work of the finance guys, the FA for allowing the transfers to go through, Edwards for managing the transfers and finally FSG for wanting to emulate Arsenal
 
There's a video of Origi 1:1 in a training game and Neco williams coming from miles back to tackle him before he can get a shot off... just about sums him up. We need to get rid, he's become lethargic and adds fuck all at present.

Agreed. Suspect wages are the issue. 60k is a decent wage for most clubs where he would start every week, and why would you risk it on Origi, who seems have given up on football and never looked the same after that injury.

Hopefully we're smart enough to take 10-12M and be rid of him.

That's just about what we paid Gini.

Yep - his mentality is shot. He seems to be trying to adopt the persona of being chilled & relaxed but he's just always a yard off the pace and doesn't seem to be putting everything into what he is doing. The early years of Origi were the opposite, he scored some great goals for us playing off the shoulder of the last defender, being quick footed and being good at ensuring he got a good shot on goal when presented the chance. In his current state he is of zero value to the squad and is taking away opportunities from those who might offer a future higher ceiling.
 
Shaqiri the latest to be close to the exit door says Pearce for the Athletic. To one of Lazio or Napoli for £12m
 
If we get rid of the Shaq it surely suggests room for Eliott, which is good news. If we then manage to shift Origi and even Minamino I'm confident of signing one decent player
