Did we announce Simms before or after Vik officially left? Surely MVE is off soon.

Simms was announced before, think Wright was announced after.

Eccles isn't going anywhere but can see BTA moving on.

Let's just be realistic and practical, not only do we need funds from a sale of Milan (we do if we want to keep investing in team) but there is no way we have him and KKH is same squad, neither are back ups!

So I fully expect to see Milan go for circa 12m upwards, which I am ok with.
Click to expand...
Yes agreed want 15m if possible. 15m would get us KKH and maybe a cd like Doyle. Would then leave us just needing a new keeper, and a back up rb with every other position 1 in 1 out

Obviously reading far too much into things, but think it unwise the club put out photos of those who are very likely to leave. So those notably not in any official media so far:

Wilson, Allen, Bidwell, Kitching, Thomas, Simms, Sakamoto, Wright (though we know he's injured).

Think all players will be training as if they are going nowhere as they should be.

It's not to say they aren't training as professionals. Was just saying around official social media choices of what / who is shared.

Though BSB has made a fair point below about Hamer being front and centre before moving on.

Wright would also be given extended leave anyway having played in June. Presumably Lati too

Didn’t a certain coach we all rated highly, (who by the way is now coaching at another championship club).
Say that Eccles was potentially one of the best midfielders in the championship.

He also (probably) led us to sign Palmer, Dasilva and Collins and none of them made a massive difference. I like Eccles, but he's not consistently shown he's a nailed-on starter for a top 6 side. He's not a kid now, either. I'm happy if he stays, I'd understand if he was sold.

Don’t see why we would look to sell Eccles this window. Imagine there’s a few others before him in the list and he’s a dependable rotation option who could develop further

Think some people on here are pretty uninspired in their thinking tbh, afraid to upgrade on the likes of Eccles and Allen. If we could get that much for Eccles i'd fancy us to go out and get better with it.

In the last 3 years, at that age in central midfield (loosely) there's only Hamer, Glen Kamara, Lewis O'Brien and Gabriel Sara that have left for £5m or more.

There's some very good players signed for less than that as well.

I might be wrong, but just don't see that you could get £5m for Eccles in this market, I think £3m is more realistic.

Eccles has potential but he hasn’t played to it under Lampard. One of the few midfielders not to have taken a step up in level. I exclude Sheaf from that simply based on his fitness levels.

I agree with most points made so far.

I think there’s a difference between the value another championship team would be willing to pay and his value to us.

I believe another championship team would pay maybe £2m for him but I believe he is more valuable to us than that

Tbf I get if an offer comes in you debate it as you do for all the squad but imagine more so it’s one for next season, while we focus on the defence?

At the start of last season I saw him name checked by fans of other teams as one of the players that gave us a strong midfield.

Very under appreciated by City fans.

I think it’s more I don’t want large changes of the playoff team. I think the midfield is one of the best in the division and while we have other areas where we’ll need to spend our budget, id rather we do so (defence, wing and striker, plus a goalie)
