[Albion] Summer clear out

[GT49er]

Omitting a dozen other PL clubs, overseas clubs and Championship clubs with money. Perhaps the club would seek a modest fee to clear a squad player who’s not impressing.

But it’s a protracted process.

Yes, I know.

That's the point.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

What ever happened to the polish midfielder we signed a few years ago? I think he cost about 10m and was shipped on loan

 

[London Irish]

The 'numpty keeper' did, of course, only play for a little over a third of the matches that got us to 6th. The other 23 matches, we had a different GK between the sticks. Mustn't mention that, though - bad fan!

He played in the critical surge at the end to 6th. It’s really awful you want to rob him of that achievement

Kolkowlolokowski?

 

[Justice]

I do really think we need quite a large overhaul and refresh. Would like to see quite a few changes as we do carry a lot of deadwood. We lack genuine quality, physicality and players in their prime years in a lot of areas.

Unless we make some serious changes, I think we will have a real struggle next season. Players I’d move on:

Milner
Lamptey
Webster
Gilmour
Moder
Fati (obviously)
Mcgill
Peupion
Undav
Sima
Leonard
Weir
Turns
Dahoud
Alzate
Sarmiento

There are probably some under 21’s we can move on too.

That should free up further funds in addition to the profits we’ve already made to make some proper signings in addition to Osman and any other loaned out/under 21 players we think can step up.

I would keep Steele as third choice and add Lallana to coaching staff and play him occassionally when needed as a late sub. He can’t start now.

Billy is our best holding midfielder and is very capable of dictating play. Oh well let’s bin him. Undav probably the best finisher at the club he can go to

 

[Freddo]

I think he’s incredibly average and over rated. A weak link in the side. I know that’s not a popular opinion with some fans as he’s a busy player who plays a lot of safe, un-productive passes so some think he’s better than he really is. He offers nothing productive from an attacking point of view and absolutely nothing defensively. Physically weak and no pace. We can do a lot better.

He’s only 22, and will continue to improve. We’re also missing him massively from the team at the moment.

Gilmour can’t dictate play against strong opposition, he’s not good enough.

And Undav is only scoring goals because the standard of defences in the Bundesliga is appalling. If fans genuinely think he’s going to come back and bang in goals in the PL, they’re going to be very disappointed.

 

[Stat Brother]

Last week we were only injuries away from top 6, now it's squad overhaul o'clock.


I guess we lost tonight then!

 

[AZ Gull]

Will be interesting to revisit this thread in September, to see how many of these still-contracted players have actually been "cleared out".

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

No. We’re missing Mitoma (and March and Hinshelwood), not Gilmour. He’d have been given the run around tonight like he always is against good opposition.

Have you seen Baleba how the hell did he get picked out by the star lizard super computer. I thinks that’s four assists to the opposition in as many games. I know he’s young but even so. For the money you expect a lot more.
We aren’t going to spend millions on a striker Undav’s 10 goals a season will come in handy.

 

[Sheebo]

Need a class right back, 2 CM who are up to it and experienced and a CF too maybe. There’s prob half a dozen who can go. We didn’t replace Caicedo and Mac properly - we weren’t expecting replacements as good but what we got was so far off them in terms of settled PL ready ability. However, the European tour was more than credible and we beat the scum 4-1 so it wasn’t a bad season at all.

Gilmour ran the show in the home game against Marseille, do they count as strong opposition?

No they don’t. And neither do Ajax or AEK. We had a very kind group.

Hmm Marseille are still in the Europa league.

not to blind eyes.

there's a lot of pissed pissed people on here tonight.

Bedways is bestways me thinks.

Jesus christ, we've just lost to the champions elect with the aid of some dubious officials and with a plethora of long term injuries and all of sudden fans want to get rid of players that, without the injuries, would be good squad players. Talk about knee jerk reactions.

 

[Clive Walker]

Gilmour doesn’t have the physicality of Moises or the creativity of Alexis. He’s well worth keeping but he isn’t filling the void of either of them and that should be the focus. The super computer has been buffering for 10months so it better kick in now or I really will question our succession planning etc

He was banging in a few goals before he left!!
