Transfer team will be busy this summer


SAFCDownUnder said:
We keep talking about how much recruiting needs to be done, and which of our stars might be stolen from us, but I was just trying to think of how many players we've still got on our books who are, in most cases, not even fringe players and will need to be offloaded. I came up with:

Milan Aleksic (20)
Aji Alese (25)
Ahmed Abdullahi (21)
Arthur Masuaka (32)
Alan Browne (31)
Nazariy Ruszyn (27)
Abdoullah Ba (22)
Jenson Seelt (23)
Luis Hemir Semedo (22)
Timothee Pembele (23)
Ollie Bainbridge (22)

Homegrown youngsters at crossroads
Harrison Jones (21)
Jenson Jones (19)
Jaydon Jones (19)
Finn Geragusyan (19)
Zak Johnson (21)
Timur Tutierov (20)

Established but not likely to be 1st teamers
Romaine Mundle (23)
Simon Adingra (24)
Anthony Patterson (26)
Dan Neil (24)
Dennis Cirkin (24)
Simon Moore (36)
Bertrand Traore (30)

Gonna be a busy summer!

Geragusian is just gone 18 and a prospect. We'll certainly be trying to tie him down for a few years.

I'm not sure what you've seen in Angulo yet. Mundle has had injury set-backs which have derailed a very promising talent. I don't see what Angulo has shown that Mundle hasn't.

I guess you are basing your opinion on Mundle on his Championship form as he has hardly had a look in . Angolo looked very promising against Chelsea . Bit of a different level.

Angulo managed 6 minutes more than Mundle in the league this season. Both worked hard when on the pitch but largely showed a lack of quality in the final third/when on the ball.

Hopefully we'll see better from both next season. That said, Mundle has had injury issues every season he's been here so it wouldn't massively surprise me if he's moved on.
 
Angulo has a lot of potential. He’s fast, a good dribbler, and he works his ass off.
He should improve his decision-making, though. He seemed too eager to score his first goal for the club, and that led him to make some questionable decisions.
 
I'd personally keep Traore, he's been a little unlucky with injuries but effective when fit. Similar to Reinildo you need these cheaper options in terms of transfer fees to allow bigger spends elsewhere.

Also, one thing I'm not sure of is whether Traore counts as homegrown, he did come through at Chelsea?
 
Surely Lucomi will fancy it. He was desperate to come last summer when we were a newly promoted team and his current team were in Europa league.....12 months later we are in Europe and his current team aren't.

Depending on who comes in I would too.

I would say that with Seelt likely being 5th choice, and with Cirkin apparently behind an out of position Hume (if we manage to keep Gerty) they could both be replaced with 1 decent left sided defender.

I like Mundle a lot, but it will take an injury for him to get a sniff at the moment.

Trouble is he'll probably be injured himself.
 
I think its going to be a hard transfer window as not really a normal year.

Us and Leeds surviving has probably put the wind up a couple of clubs that were thinking they can just coast because the promoted teams will be relegated again, so expect them to be busier than normal.
Spuds will be busy, those wanting them to survive instead of West ham got their wish.
Clubs will hold onto players that are at the World Cup hoping they bump their value.
Players / agents will probably stall hoping for a bigger / better club after World Cup

European football will be a plus in attracting better players if the club want to.
From the outside players seem to like it here so that will get around and will again help us. (just like it used to that we had a lot of pissheads, last big payday)

Its a big ask to have such a high percentage work out again but here's hoping.

If you watched him he isn't as good as we have, its a pass for me.
