2023 - worth 20-25 million and going to a top PL club.
2024 - worth 15 million and going to a lower PL club.
2025 - worth 5 million and going to a heavyweight Championship club.
Why is he still here if he is that good? Why are we spending millions to bring in another central midfielder despite this?
I honestly don't think some of you can see what is in front of you.
I think you’re really just hyper fixated on Sheaf. You, I, We dont need to worry about squad harmony. There’s people who are paid to do that.
There will absolutely be outgoings, likely 1 or 2 of the midfielders, and with that we could end up with a really well balanced squad with real strength in depth.
Modern football quite simply isnt just about having a best 11 and fielding that by default every single game. Each opposition presents different challenges and so each week the starting 11 is likely to be tinkered with, add onto that that the championship fixtures tend to congest themselves tightly every month or two. There will be injuries, dips in form and suspensions to deal with and thats exactly why you build a squad, not an 11.
on top of that again, not all midfielders are the same either.
In my opinion, we’ll see rotation of the midfield very often next year, with Sheaf (if he isnt sold), Torp, Grimes, this new guy (if he signs) and Rudoni all playing a large number of games.
Ideally we’ll see Eccles andAllen moved on as the weaker of the remaining central midfielders.
And just say that ive got that exactly right come september 1st. Would you be dissatisfied with that?
