It's Quiet the £250m return

[foden47]

Surely Savinho is one of the 17 on the A list
as he turned 21 in April
and won't count U21 anymore from next season on.

Issa Kaboré returns from Bremen as well
but surely won't play a role like Phillips and Walker.

Need to shift a good number of CBs, whether sales or on loan. With Doyle coming back from loan, we currently have 9 CBs, which is way too many.

I am sure I read Doyle is looking for a permanent move which is understandable. We should be able to get £10m as a minimum for him.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

No Grealish on your list? It's felt inevitable for the last few weeks surely?

He's on the list, look again?

 

[Bluewonder]

KDB, Grealish, Ederson, Mcatee, Walker, Phillips, Stones. That's 7 there.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gundo and Bernardo leave as they only have 1 year left and I wouldn't be surprised to have seen Viana tell them both that if they do stay next year they won't be getting much game time.

The World Cup next year will see a lot of the older or out of favour players consider moves because for a lot of them it will be their last ever potential World Cup.

Who's going to give us money for Phillips, Grealish and Stones?

One is crap, one is an alcoholic and one is permanently injured

 

[Bluewonder]

Course there's a chance and they ain't all 1st team

Sure, if there's 4 or 5 youth players in the 10 I could see it happening then.

Clubs don’t have to give us money for them?

I think Grealish will be a loan unless he can be bought as part of a player + cash deal.

Phillips will be loaned until the end of his contract.

Stones I think like Tolmie alluded to this morning, because of the World Cup, will push for a move and see out his last season on loan.

 

[Bluewonder]

Clubs don’t have to give us money for them?

Not sure we'd just give them away for free. And what about their wages? Other clubs aren't going to pay them what we pay them.

I think we're stuck with them until their contracts expire.

 

[Centurions]

Ahh, I wondered why @Mr HJ replied with "Jack!" I thought he was a bit miffed that I only used his surname :(

 

[Gorbachev]

We will end up loaning them all out whilst paying 80% of their wages.

I think those players mentioned, the club won't want them hanging around the club not playing. Just get them out, take the hit financially and build for next season.

expect we just wave a usual high loan fee, and get the wages covered.

 

[pbueno16]

Maybe but probably 5 or 6 replacement's are already at the club, if you include Bah and the January arrivals. Not to mention Bobb, O’Reilly. Won’t all be succesful but thats 8 players all with a chance

Rodri coming back from injury and Foden getting back to his usual self would feel like new transfers.

 

[Bluewonder]

Back to school next week?

I wish, life was more straightforward back then!

KP- Leeds - prodical son and all that
JG -Newcastle/villa/rags - a new club could could see a change in behavour
JS - Sunderland/leeds/everton/wolve etc - promored teams getting 10 games of solid stones could mean points saved, young defences getting such an old head wprkong with them would boost any club all these I would expect to be loans

Not sure there's much point in that.

Rather keep Stones as a back up than pay him £150k to play for someone else!

No chance 10 first team players leave. No way.

Unless the 115 verdict drops as guilty.

 

[burning blue soul]

Phillips will be loaned until the end of his contract.

Stones I think like Tolmie alluded to this morning, because of the World Cup, will push for a move and see out his last season on loan.

If Phillips isn't sent on loan to Leeds I'll be very surprised.
Grealish will have lots of interest, but he will need to cut his cloth to a smaller size, if you get my meaning.
And Stones will get a mid-level club in for him. Maybe even Everton again. I can't see us getting anything for John. Such a shame. A Rolls Royce when firing.

 

[Coatigan]

Well then he is right, isn't he.

If they aren't all first team, than there is no chance 10 first team players leave.

 

[Coatigan]

Fabrizio saying on his YouTube that sources at city are the ones giving him info how he got the Reijnders info and Peps new assistant. I’d think that would be Viana.

Has him on speed dial.

KDB, Grealish, Ederson, Mcatee, Walker, Phillips, Stones. That's 7 there.

I guess we've all got our definition of a first team player, but Phillips doesn't meet mine.
Not even sure if he meets the definition of a player.
