Outgoings This Pre Season (Summer 26)

Been very quiet so far but youd imagine we will start to see some movement

I dont want to see, Bidwell, Brau,Woolfenden,Raphael, Lati or Andrews anywhere near a Premier league squad.

Harsh you may feel but there's no room for sentiment now. Lati we all have a soft spot for but his lack of pace and turning circle of a HGV will mean hes crucified in the top flight

Also, if we do get Gus in, I think its see you later Josh Eccles. He will be pure profit, always looks good on the balance sheet for SCR

Thoughts?
Bobbins will come in for Eccles methinks!
 
Not sure why everyone thinks Robins will be in for Eccles when he was never first choice under him and by all accounts it was Viveash that rated him.
 
I know he was most likely injured, but wtih Rudoni, new lad and Hamer to come in, what do we do with Torp? Was great last year but from a business point of view, is it better to cash in now. When his value is perhaps at its peak? Just an opinion but there would be plenty of teams I should imagine wanting to pay good money for him…abroad and league below. I’ve seen a few say he would be more suited to the PL which I just can’t get on board with.

It would be Eccles before Torp. Torp the better all round player and Eccles is pure hard profit on the balance sheet
 
I think some of the prices here are a bit low, it is widely reported that Fulham are after Shea Charles for around £25m which seems ridiculous. From what I've seen he is a good player but not as good as Alex Scott, Adam Wharton & even Gus who all went for less than that admittedly 3 years ago. If Charles is worth £25m then Josh Eccles is definitely worth more than £5m.
A player is worth what someone is willing to pay. King has been good at getting a good price so far. 6m for Sheaf to keep their medical team busy when we brought in Grimes the machine for half the price to take his place was excellent business.
 
Seemingly no Haji or Woolf, can see Brau, Torp, Yirenkyi etc. Are they off, surely would be with the others if they're carrying knocks?

It's getting to the stage where someone has to leave.
Surely a couple of loan deals will happen soon.

We're planning on staying in the Prem. Unless it's a player for the future a loan will only happen if we can't find a buyer for the right price.
 
I would guess. Woolf & Brau are leaving permanently.
Bidwell is staying put, until we bring in a LB, but have a feeling Frank may want to keep him around despite that. He can play at CB in a back three, which might be handy.

Raphael and Andrews are on one-year loans (lower end Championship).

As for the midfielders. If it was Eccles to be moved on, I would rather we loaned him out for 6 months to a Championship club. He is still developing, and scored some importants goals last season playing out of position for the most part.

Bidwell should not be playing any games, particularly at CB in the fucking premier league
 
Has Torp been in the training videos this week?

He's 26 years old. And we know he can do a decent job in the Championship. If we want to know if he can make that final step up then we're only going to find that out by giving him time in the PL, even if it's on the bench.

Either we keep him here as part of the squad to see how he gets on or we sell him. Loaning him to the Championship doesn't tell us anything.
