The 2019 Summer Clearout

[Duncan Mckenzie]

I am sitting on the fence with this one.

If he wants to stay and fight for his place then great.

If he wants to leave or if the manager thinks that he should leave for whatever reason then I am comfortable with that too.

reporting in portugal that goncalves will be staying at his parent club next year to fight for a place.

I think that is the best conclusion for everyone involved.

I find the price tag pretty damn bizarre.

sounds like zach clough out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury

vellios not even making the squad in belgium.

we have alot of work recruitment wise in the summer.

I find the price tag pretty damn bizarre.

I think the market value of 15m for Goncalves is not the actual price tag.

I think market value and price tag are two different things.

I just hope that we have learned a lesson in making these type of signings.

Neither Goncalves or Dias have proved to be good business and I think it would be fair to say that the jury is still out on Carvalho.

add lica and pereira to that list

Goncalves, Dias and Carvalho then have a market value of over 40M.

In all honesty I think closer to 10 would be more realistic.

our ex player LICA has 9 goals and 4 assists in 32 appearances in Portugal this year


carvalho had 4 assists and zero goals last season in 15 appearances

This is the current squad and when contracted until

Years Left:

2019:  Ward, Henderson, Iacovitti, Gabriel

2020: Dawson, Bridcutt, Murphy, Osborn, Ariyibi, Cummings, Grant, Vellios, Smith, Edser, Guedioura, Watson, Robinson, Steele, Tachtsidis, Yacob, Ansarifard, Milosevic, Benalouane 

2021: Cash, Clough, Darikwa, Walker, Soudani, Pantilimon, Yates, Hefele

2022: Worrall, Lolley, Figueiredo, Grabban

2023: Carvalho, Appiah

Looking at that we are probably looking at summer 2020 before we can clearout some of the so called deadwood. I can't imagine that we will be able to offload all of them this summer.

Didn’t carvalho score v Hull?

Looking at the 2020 contracts I do not see too much of an issue
We may have a a few too may in the middle of the park but with one year left the price will drop and may be more attractive to some.

2020: 
First Team: Osborn, Robinson, Milosevic, Benalouane 
Decent Squad players: Murphy, Guedioura, Watson, Yacob, Dawson, Bridcutt, Smith
Sell: Ariyibi, Cummings, Grant, Vellios, Tachtsidis, Ansarifard
