Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour


So you would keep all that shit and wheatabix , just to be popular, its a business and a ruthless one, , we would still have other players from the promotion team , just not the dead wood , and how would squad moral be low ?,the whole first team is brand new , apart from the ones that where/ are good enough, other have gone before like clarke and bellingham, others will come and go its the nature of the beast , ,and sentiment gets in the way of progress, as for a chance ,Neil etc al had a chance to push for a place in 1st team on Tuesday, and didn't give a fuck
So this 'dead wood' 'shit' (Patterson, Neil, Roberts and Cirkin) that you would 'bin off'. How much would you expect to sell those four players for ?

With regard to the 'Wheatabix' contingent (by which I think you must mean Huggins, Hjelde, Alese and Seelt), How would you bin them off ? Which club do you think would want to take on a player with a dubious fitness record ?

And seemingly, according to you at least, Moore isn't good enough to be third choice.

Just on the arithmetic, taking out nine players from the existing 22 over-21 years players would reduce the over-21s to 13 players, of whom three are likely to be involved in AFCON, reducing the number of players for the period of that tournament to 10.

Similarly, three of the eleven under-21s are also likely to be playing in AFCON, reducing that number to eight players. 10+8 = 18 players. Even if Lucumi, another player and the mystery goalkeeper that you would bring in join before Monday, that would be 21 players possibly available for selection during AFCON, which would mean we could just about put together a full bench of nine players, so long as no more that one of the 21 were injured or suspended.

following you cull and the AFCON departures, the team and bench would look something like :-
1 Robin Roefs
2 Nordi Mukiele
3 Harrison Jones
4 Omar Alderete
5 Jhon Lucumi
6 Granit Xhaka
7 Chris Rigg
8 Eliezer Mayenda
9 Wilson Isidor
10 Enzo Le Fée
11 AN Other

12 ‘Mystery Keeper’
13 Trai Hume
14 Daniel Ballard
15 Luke O’Nein
16 Jenson Jones
17 Milan Aleksić
18 Ahmed Abdullahi
19 Romaine Mundle
20 Marc Guiu

With only Zak Johnson available to cut up the half-time oranges.

On what fking planet it Harrison Jones playing full back ahead of Trai Hume?

Or Mundle not starting left wing?
 
I don’t think we need him. Would rather we use the money for an out and out forward however doubt that will happen
We need him as we are 1 injury away from struggling at the back. , we played with 10 men for last 20 mins with new lad limping about after the brentford forward stood on his foot

Agreed on this. If we can get him in we have fantastic strength in depth across the back four but there is still that worry at the moment
