Further squad changes

[scousefan]

Now we have a new manager presumably we will start to see some more squad announcements soon.

My guess is that Bridcutt will go and we may not get El Abd back. Not so sure about Spanish Dave but he may go too. I haven't heard anything about Upson, but again it seems unlikely well get him back.

Will anyone else go? Possibilities could be Kaz, Buckley or god forbid the PIG. Hopefully the new appointment might stabilise things.

Greer and Bruno are getting long in the tooth and we can't expect them to stay fit. All of this makes defence a major priority.

We need about half a dozen decent new signings/ loans....

 

[Steve.S]

I would expect to see a few Spanish players, maybe on loan. This is going to be a difficult job for him next season, he has no experience in the championship and I would think, it will take him a while to tweak the squad.

 

[Superphil]

I reckon we'll be fielding our development squad for the start of the season as ALL of the first team will have gone by then, Tanno might even get called back to play in defence, perhaps Garcia could pop his boots on and play up front alongside Bergkamp.

 

[BHseagull]

I would hope that we could up our offer to Spanish Dave to 2 years, not 1. Presumably we only offered 1 in case the new manager didn't see him fitting in? Either way, I hope he signs up shortly.

Why would we want to sell one of our best players?

So you have no idea who is on what contract then?

Who said anything about wanting to sell our best players?

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Lots of people are assuming that Bridders is going to jump ship at the first decent offer that comes along and the club will be happy to cash in. He and his missus clearly enjoy living in the area. He is settled with a very young family, playing regularly, enjoying his football, loved at BHA and being pretty well rewarded for it.
He spent some time at Chelsea and although highly rated, was advised that he may not make it at the highest level due to his size. After a few loan spells he has re-established himself at BHA.
Unless he has a ready made replacement lined up ( and he would have to be pretty damn useful! ) I don't think Oscar would let one of our prized assets go. An asset that Gus was happy to build the team around.

We might as well chuck ourselves off beachy head now then!

 

[BensGrandad]

What most people seem to be forgetting is that although Oscar is new David Burke has seen our rise so is fully aware of our players and the ability so will not want to lose many unless they can be replaced by better or make serious money.

Good point

 

[Cold Gettin Dumb]

This thread started off on a pretty pessimistic note.
I would have thought that the team would be pretty excited at the past few days developments.
Buckley has tweeted that it was time for gus to leave, then a day or so ago, tweeted OGJ's details.
That seemed to point that maybe some of the squad were craving for change at the helm.
What these new coaches, headed by OGJ, signify and seem to promise, is an authentic, straight from the horses mouth
Continuation of the style that Gus sought after for us to play.
I would hazard a guess that there is one hell of a buzz within the camp now.
I would be sad but not surprised if Adam goes, but I would have hoped that the new gaffer is exactly the kind of situation that would make Lopez want to stick around.

Err the OP?

You do know thats not the REAL Will Buckley dont you? it's a fan page

Tanno left this morning by mutual consent..so I would count on him putting anything on at the Amex!!

Ah....

I'll get me coat.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I know I'm a bit naive, but I've got a question: just because the new head coach is from Spain, is it automatic that he will want to keep Spanish Dave and that Spanish Dave will want to sign for him? I once worked abroad and the biggest tosser in the place was a fellow Brit and I got on much better with the locals...

To be fair though 75% of Brits abroad act like tossers.

I would be surprised if we see many changes before mid August with an exciting deadline day again this year.

I really hope we do manage to keep hold of Spanish Dave as he proved to be a valuable member of the team once he settled into it and he chipped in with his fair share of goals as well, Also proved to be a pretty reliable penalty taker as well.
