We currently have 6, yes SIX, wingers.... 7 if we include Costa!
As much as I don't want to get rid of the good ones, we have to sell a couple to be able to get other players for positions we actually need!
I'll put mine in order.... but this could change tomorrow!
Sinesterra
Gnonto
Summerville
Harrison
Poveda
James
Costa
Costa needs to get off the wage bill even if we have to pay him off....
We won't get much money for James so have to keep him....
Poveda has a new lease of life and we wouldn't get much for him so he has to stay....
For me, it has to be Summerville and Harrison and get 30/35m for them.... I don't want them to go but needs must.
Sinesterra and Gnonto with James and Poveda as back up is good enough for the Championship.... and Rutter can play there.
Piroe and Hamer can then be bought....
Don't Everton, alongside Citeh, have FA rules and cases coming up against them, or FFP, for money irregularities?
How the fk are they allowed to spend 20m on Gnonto!?
I think a couple will need to go plus Costa
Keep Sini, Summerville, jack and Poveda
I would look to move Gnonto and James on
Just a thought about our current style of play and our wingers. With them having to do less tracking back under the Farke system do you think someone like Harrison will thrive as in the past he has had to expend so much energy tracking back that his attack was effected.
Under this system I can see him getting 10 goals 10+ assists.
I wouldn't brand any of them as pure wingers as they can all play across the front line. I do think we will struggle to keep Gnonto as he's been told he has to be performing at premiership standard to get picked for Italy. But the rest are all in play. Summerville played down the centre today and the rest are interchangeable - it's a good strength not to have them pigeon holed. Costa though, he's toast.
I would offer James plus 7 million for Piroe,Swansea might be tempted,he came through their academy.
Costa has to go.
Poveda looks different gravy this season,he had the most successful dribbles of the Cardiff game and only came on in 82nd minute.Hes positive skillfull and scares defenders.
Sini would be the one I'd love to keep as well.
Jack is out til September so doubt he will be sold.
For me we have to sell Gnonto or Summerville or Meslier & Firpo to fund transfers,hopefully Hamar,Piroe,another left back and center back.
wages could be a deciding factor as well and player willingness to stay-Sini and Poveda look like they will stay but big question marks over JH , Gnonto & Summerville
our net spend in the window is only 4 or 5 million,you would think with parachute payments we should have money to sign another couple players without selling players .VO/Radz really fooked us with all the loan clauses.
I think we will use the loan market as well-maybe Williams at LB from Scum and that city center back England u21 captain ..
