Could be a crazy couple of weeks that either makes or breaks the season;
GK.
Butland, interest from EPL, valuation not met.
RB.
Tav, interest from Europe and Saudi, getting close to our valuation.
Devine, Loan interest within SPL
CB.
Davies, interest from multiple championship clubs, loan to buy looking most likely.
King, loan interest from multiple SPL sides
LB.
Yilmaz, interest from Europe, valuation not met.
CM.
Cantwell, multiple offers on the table, down to player to decide.
Lawrence, interest from Championship but valuations miles apart.
Hagi, interest from Europe, valuation not a problem on this one - issue is the quality of clubs interested.
Lowry, loan interest from SPL.
LW
Matondo, multiple offers from Championship, loan to buy looking most likely.
I know most would love to see the majority move, but realistically can we turn around this number of players in one window?

Only one I would be disappointed losing would be Butland the rest I’d sell they are not good enough and won’t win the league with them so having a large turn over and players not settled isn’t going to make a difference to the outcome of not winning the league but it does give as an outside chance that they all hit the ground running and is take they odds over the current players staying and winning anything.

Great info EHL, let’s hope some go soon and give us the opportunity to bring new players in.

Would be delighted to see Butland go, at this moment in time he would represent the best way to get some capital to strengthen other key areas
Kelly would be capable of playing behind a better defensive unit.

8 days to move and replace that lot never in a month of Sundays.
Its going to the wire but I would reckon 2 out and maybe 2 in.
22 Aug 2024 17:50:15
Good info Ehl, hopefully a few moved out very soon.

Tav valuation has been met several times. Problem is Tav will miss out on a testimonial if he leaves circa £1-2m so he is looking for this as a pay off to leave.
22 Aug 2024 19:12:45
Haha there’s no way we move that many players on and bring in replacements in the time that’s left!

Are testimonials not for charity these days? If that is truei, it's fecking ridiculous the money he's earned from our club. I can't see that being the case surely not.
22 Aug 2024 20:23:10
Bornabear, that's a new one to me. Most of the players I know who have had testimonials gave most of the money to charity.

I don’t think for a moment the testimonial plays any part in his thinking .
It’s the 30+k a week that he won’t get anywhere else that’s holding him back .
If a player who has been earning 1.5m a season for the last how many years needs a testimonial then I fear for his long term financial future is bleak.

He's not going to get that, he is absolutely gash, but but he done this and that and is top scoring defender in UK. So what, he is done, he can't do that now, past glories are no use in the present for a guy with no pace, or that gets constantly caught out of position. He was great, not anymore.

I would sell them all asap. Get in a few replacements. We won't win the league with them so what's the point in keeping them. Some fresh blood in and bring up a couple youth players :) happy days.
