not how it works lol the money will flow down the chain

Errr

Don't think there is an obvious choice really. Maybe if we had an actual backup MVE would be. Rudoni: Youngest, has probably shown the most improvement this season, biggest impact on our season overall MVE: Still young, one of our top performers for two years and the only natural RB in the...

Why? Are people forgetting we're completely in the driving seat contract wise, Wright & MVE have 2 years left and Rudoni 3. This is not another Vik/Gus situation where they can leave for free next summer.

you'd sell the most productive forward in the league for £12m? ffs

I said none, unless they throw a tantrum there's no reason we need to sell

I'd be playing Wright as a central striker Maybe BTA as 3rd choice though and loan out bassette

To answer the thread title: none If we're in the championship I'd want the squad to look like this GK: Loan/Dovin/Wilson RB: MVE/New signing CB: Thomas/Kitching/Binks/New signing LB: New signing/Dasilva CM: Grimes/Torp/Rudoni/Eccles/Allen/New signing LW: Wright/EMC ST: Simms/Bassette RW...

How much do you realistically get for those 3? We’d struggle to get anything for BTA, maybe £2m for Simms and Eccles is hard to price but again, can’t see more than £2-3m.

I’m a bit surprised by some of the comments about Wright, blowing hot and cold is generally the nature of even good forwards at this level. He has the best min/goal ratio in the league for players with 10+ goals

Don’t see anyone paying the close £20m or so we’d ask for. Probably next summer he goes.

We got 64 points last season. That’s not even 1.4ppg.

Except we don’t because a draw will quite likely be enough

Your argument just doesn’t really work, it’s cherrypicking and not even accurate (would anyone call 1.5 ppg “pretty poor”?) Over his time as a whole we’ve averaged the equivalent of an ~80 point season which qualifies you for playoffs every time. Finishing 4th on 80 points next season would be...
