TheEnchanter Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Keiren Westwood Cameron Dawson Joe Wildsmith Loan out Tom Lees Dominic Iorfa Liam Palmer Jordan Thorniley Matt Penney Morgan Fox Sell Joost Van Aken Sell Ashley Baker Sell Barry Bannan Sam Hutchinson Kieran Lee Adam Reach Joey Pelupessey Sell Steven Fletcher Fernando Forestieri Possibly sell Atdhe Nuhiu Jordan Rhodes Lucas Joao Sell Sam Winnall Sell We have 22 first team players. I think we should sell the ones highlighted if possible. However, with Bruce stating that he wants 5-6 players in I think we'll probably only offload the 2-3 of those which would potentially generate the most money. E.g Joao, Winnall, Forestieri. We are going to need to bring in players that are ready to roll straight away and have the pace and physicality to compete week in week out at this level. We really need to strengthen the centre back, wing back, wingers and centre midfield positions and I'd love to have a pacy striker in that offers something different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just now, TheEnchanter said: Keiren Westwood Cameron Dawson Joe Wildsmith Loan out Tom Lees Sell if decent fee, keep otherwise Dominic Iorfa Liam Palmer Jordan Thorniley Matt Penney Morgan Fox Sell Joost Van Aken Sell Ashley Baker Sell Barry Bannan Sam Hutchinson This is a toughie, he isn't fit often enough, release once his contract is up Kieran Lee Adam Reach Sell Joey Pelupessey Steven Fletcher Sell for decent fee, keep otherwise Fernando Forestieri Sell Atdhe Nuhiu Jordan Rhodes Lucas Joao Sell for decent fee, keep otherwise Sam Winnall Sell My list I'd try and get big earners like Fletcher out of the club while he would still command a fee I'm confident Steve Bruce would find better value replacements for Reach, Lees, and Forestieri if we can get good offers for them 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Brissy-owl Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Id possibly keep winnall, not sure on his attitude but hes a goal scorer, palmer has definitly done enough this season to prove the doubters wrong , if bruce has some dosh to spend i think we have a great chance next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think we might see more loans out than sales especially from fringe players Either way if we can get 5-7 out this should give us the clout to get hector back I can’t see us spending too much more but with loans and freebies I see us making 7-9 signings this should give us a playing squad of 24-26 players which I think will be healthy im sure we will still sign 5-6 like Bruce suggested but where our squad will greatly improved is beyond that and that’s dependent on how hoo we are at getting players out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few more players on pro contracts, Stobbs, O'Grady, Nilson and Preston, all were in first team squad under Joss but now nowhere near it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt any of them are good enough to be honest. Not for a team looking at being top 6 in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I'm sure some of league two and national league clubs would be interested in them, probably a small if any fee but it makes spaces in squad. Ash Baker might be good enough for league one.

jonnyowl Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 People saying we should sell players like Fox and Pelupessy, but does anyone expect a team to actually come in for a bid for them? The only player I'd sell that a club might actualy want to buy would be Joao as I don't think we need him and I don't think he's good enough. I'd also consider selling Reach but only for silly money, £12m+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I’d keep Pelupessy. Decent squad player, gives his all and good fitness record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most on here want 11 or 12 superstars and nobody else. They seem to forget you need back up players .

United’s side isn’t full of world beaters. But they are well drilled and rarely injured. Don’t like saying it, but we should look at the way they’ve done it and learn.

Guest wilyfox Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hardest part will be getting legs up top. Our forward options aren't getting any younger... Fletcher 32 Nuhiu 30 FF 29 Rhodes 29 Winnall 28 Only Joao is a good age, and sounds like we're open to offers for him. Personally, I'd shift as many as we can, no sentiment, and let Bruce build a dynamic that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Much will depend on how Bruce wants to set up Will he play with wingers? If so, we need a completely new midfield. As he’s offered a contract to Lee, I would suspect that he’ll want to play three in midfield. A winger as an impact sub could be useful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
