No not at all, of course a few Will go
But you have to find people that want these players. You've gotta remember a lot of them are only halfway through well paid contracts. Whats their incentive unless another club matches their wage?
For example whos going to have seen Simms over the last 18 months and go ' yea he is someone im going to spend 6 million on and pay more than 20k a week'
No one in their right mind

Rumours are that the likes of Lati, Eccles and BTA have all had interest recently.

To be fair I think this is just common sense. A lot of these players people want out like Collins, will take time to get out, obviously the club will work hard to find clubs as will agents but it won’t be quick and for some, maybe they just see out a deal.
Some I’d imagine like BTA, Lati and Sheaf will push for moves and as such be easier to move on than Binks and Simms for example
I'm glad to hear, the squad seems really tight and with a full season we will be looking really strong. FL has shown he has a clear direction of play and I'm sure he will be clear on the players to be brought in.
Stats wise, we actually scored plenty of goals this season (only Leeds, Burnley and Norwich scored more). The slight concern is our XG was higher so we have slightly underperformed up front. Defensively is where our woes lie, we conceded more than Hull who only just escaped relegation.
There's some great talent out of contract this year and if we can bring some in that help our playstyle then brilliant

Sims only cost 3.5m didn’t he? There’s big add ins but I doubt he’s hit these. One of them is based on promotion. I reckon 4-5m could get him.
theres a player in there, so there will always be takers

Just thinking about it, could see Sheff U being all over Milan if they go up.

Don’t doubt there will be interest in him. Leeds are another one I could see looking at him.

I’d like to think if we accrued 20 million we’d spend near what we brought in

Think they will be happy with Bogle, Sheff U haven’t had a settled right back all year. Would be horrible seeing him and Hamer in the same team in the prem. Sign of what could have been.

Ah, talk of us being skint again.
Just like we had to sell to buy in January and then Doug pulled Grimes out of his dickhole.
Let's just see first

Looks like Burton want Tavares.
Six players are still in negotiations with the club in the hope of retaining their services for the 2025/26 season.
Max Crocombe, Ryan Sweeney, Jón Dadi Bödvarsson, Kegs Chauke, Finn Delap, Fábio Tavares and Kamil Dudek are out of contract this summer but have received offers from Albion in an attempt to keep them at Pirelli Stadium next term.

Good for him. Some were convinced he'd drop out the football league entirely.

Surely no way we'd get £10m for Wright?

Yes we would don’t be ridiculous
I think the info Saddle and i get is not too dissimilar.
Where i get mine, he's always maintained that Lampard was told he would be backed from the beginning. I think the signing of Grimes was telling enough. They had also tried for that RB cover too, to no avail.
What Saddle has said though is correct. We won't just keep buying, from a business point of view we'll obviously need to see some leave to create funds, balance the books and remain in line with wage structure etc.
The problem will only arise if we can't shift on players. There may come a point too when we see bids for players we might not necessarily want to let go, then the club and Lampard will have to make decisions as to whether or not that player is in their plans or can be replaced with the money offered.
It's all good people online holding personal grudges against players and saying 'they need to go' etc, but DK isn't just going to turn around and say right let's shift them on at a loss. He's not seeing things from an emotional point of view. He's invested in some players and they are on long contracts, it's down to Lampard and his staff to get the best out of them or bring in players that will make the team better.
It's clear by now what system Lampard wants to play, so he needs to bring in players who are going to make that effective.
Personally i think we'll see some wingers coming in.
Strikers who are proven to work in this particular system would be the ideal additions, but then we need to see interest in the ones currently here, so if there is open interest in one or two of them, let them go and reinvest.
Same goes for the midfield, we've added Grimes but still needs a little tweak. Does a bid come in for Eccles or Sheaf? Do we then accept it or not.
Now we know where we are playing next year, could well be worth picking a couple of out of contract players up.

What's ridiculous about it?
Make your case then, why would he be worth more now than when we bought him, when he's scored less this year than last, and his appearances since that hatrick haven't exactly been inspiring?
I'm happy to discuss if you've got some logic supporting your emotion, but your opinion isn't fact, sunshine.

Joel Ward on a free for back up or is he past it now?

He's got the best goals to minutes ratio in the league, He's scored double figures championship goals in 2 seasons running, he's a full USA international, he's on a long contract.
Just because hes had a poor end to the year after injury doesn't mean hes like a car thats been in a car crash and now has a value thats through the floor.

Not a chance Simms is here next season. More likely that Wright stays.

How does 10% of £40m+ work out at £750k?

Asante is the most likely to leave. Simms has started more games and was praised by the coaching staff and his peers more recently.
Simms has least demonstrated he can go on big scoring runs whereas BTA goal scoring record is much weaker. Say we were offered a minor profit on either player, you’d sell BTA 100%.

Simms is done mate. The fact he got not one minute says it all. Writing is on the wall for him, imo.
I’d say that they probably praised him publicly to try and get a reaction from him, and they’ve got nothing.
His record is pretty shite. I’d much rather we have BTA off the bench and I genuinely mean that. At least he puts himself about.
I genuinely couldn’t tell you one thing Simms is good at.

Interest in BTA seemed pretty concrete in Jan so you'd think that might come back around. Also interest in Eccles and Lati seems to have some weight behind it?

What are your thoughts on Simms? Seems fairly clear he's not really in the plans.

The other side of the ledger will be interesting. Which of our best players will people have been looking at? For me Sakamoto has really put himself in the shop window. Van Ewijk obviously. Maybe Thomas. EMC recently and probably Wright. And then Rudoni. Would we turn down tasty bids for any of those.

I’d be very surprised if there is concrete evidence in Sakamoto, Thomas, EMC where what a club can offer is worth taking.

Bundu is a free agent although Plymouth have offered a deal.
