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?

Think I'd look at loaning Andrews out, but agree the rest should probably be moved on.
As you say, I'd feel for Latibeaudiere, but think he'd really struggle in the Premier League.
 
Bidwell has another year to run and may just stick around. Lampard seems to like his presence so he could end up coaching in some capacity

I don’t know why Simms hasn’t signed another deal and if he doesn’t he will have to go

Eccles should look to go. He’s a capable championship player and needs to keep up a level a appearances or will drift downwards and stagnate
 
Think we need to do the bulk of our incomings before outgoings happen. Once we know the 25 man squad it becomes easier.

But the following will be at risk:

Dovin (loan)
Bidwell £500k
Brau £250k
Woolfenden £4m
Lati (don’t think he will go as Frank trusts him)
Raphael £500k
Markelo £4m
Eccles (he might want a Cov kid to stay) £5m
Andrews (loan)
Simms (if we get an offer for a striker most likely to be let go) £10m if Hirst is valued at that at least

You could claw back about £20-23m

500k for Raphael is ambitious
Can't see us making a profit on Wolfie either.
Bidwell would surely be terminate contract by mutual consent to enable him to join someone on a free.

Bidwell should go. There is no need for him to stick around when he gets into at least 1/3 of championship 11's
 
Bidwell is still a decent player and deserves game time at this stage of his career. I think he will move on if we bring in another LB.

Eccles I think will want to give it a go and stick around until January. I think Lati might be retained.

It really depends on offers coming in because every player has a price.
 
25 man squad has to be registered for PL we’re currently at 28

Rushworth Dovin Wilson
MVE KKH
Amenda Thomas Lati Kitch Woolf
JDS Bidwell Brau
Tatsu Loum Markelo
Torp Eccles FTT Grimes Caleb Andrews
EMC Rudoni Rapha
BTA Simms Wright

Caveat is both Andrews and Caleb can be registered as U21 players

so we are at 27. just dont include rapha bidwell or brau thats 24
 
Based on the above which is really useful, we are at 27 but using the age rules and fthen the likely departures of Markelo and Rapha leave 25 but then Id say we will also see at least 3 more leaving with my guesses being Brau, Bidwell, Eccles go meaning we "could"still be looking at 3 more signings, for me the most interesting area to watch will be upfront, I still think one of Wright or more likely Simms goes. Interesting times as they say!
 
do we have to "name" a squad of 25 ? did we in the championship as well?

Out of those likely to still be here we have 23

Thats including Woolf, Eccles, Simms who have a chance of leaving

Have you counted Eccles twice?

Harsh on Eccles Bidwell and Lati. Think we should keep all 3 as their presence in dressing room and at training ground will be invaluable and i think are good squad options . Even if one or two are not registered for PL they would be useful for the Cups as we will need s big squad if we want cup runs. Also feel we need 3 LBs anyway and 5 CBs squad wise. I doubt Hamer is coming. Lampard loves Eccles professionalism. Hamer is known to perhaps not be as diligent with his excesses as he should be which wont sit well with Frank and at 29 Hamer probably too old to change his lifestyle unlike say a younger player.
 
Doug King is definitely an upgrade compared to Bryan Richardson. That’s the last time we spent silly money but the latest incumbent knows what he’s doing.

Richardson was never all that wealthy, just a chancer who ruined the club's finances and took a £250k salary for himself while doing it.
 
If we sign Yirenkyi and Hamer then Eccles days are probably numbered. I guess we could loan him out to a top end championship club.

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.

It’s difficult to know on prices. Depends who comes in for the players. Some will over pay as well.
