So, weve fucked it up again....Will we pay the price of, once again, losing our best players???

Who stays, who goes, who's new!??
What do you think the team will look like when we kick off next season??

Do you not think someone will come in for cooper? I think a big value move is incoming from our mates in West Yorkshire!!

Leeds are after a guy from Bayern Munich so I’m told by a couple of Leeds fans up here. Not sure they see Cooper as a Premier League ready keeper.

Unfortunately, I expect Wilder to offer him terms,
I cant see us spending massively eather, I also, after this seasons showing, wouldn't be paying Southampton anywhere near what they want for BBD, he hasn't exactly shone this time round, even though I think he's a decent player.
 
We'll have to use the money for Gus and Vinnie like Leeds did for gray. We'll spend. If the owners are savvy like we hope they are, they'll know the cost of not spending is greater. We'll have to go up. Otherwise it'll be a different story.

Really should have won Saturday.

Be a busy summer to keep us entertained I suspect.
 

Cooper - I think he needs another season with us.

Burrows - 50/50 of all the new signings he’s the one someone could gamble on.

CB x 1 - Robinson not good enough

CB x 2 - Anel will be off £15 mil should do it.

RB - Sereiki + 1 more wouldn’t mind Hamzah.

LM - X 1 - Hamer will go £25 mil should do it for the champs player of the year.

CM - Peck

CM - Arblaster

CM x 1 - Souza will go £20 mil should do it.

RM x 1 - JRS off back don’t renew.

CAM - O’Hare

ST - Moore

ST - Campbell

ST - One

ST - Cannon

If we can bring in £60 mil in sales and reinvest £30 then with what’s left and good signings we should be set to go again and dare I say it… even stronger

Done nothing to justify signing him, looks a shadow of the player that was on loan last time.

I'd look to keep Holding nd actually play him!
Jimmy Dunne I expect will already be progressing, I'd also like us to go for Souttar and Choudhury if possible.
Blaster and Peck in the middle could be brilliant, with Tom Davies, if he can stay fit for longer than 13mins obviously!, as back up.
 
We'll probably have this kid starting at RCB alongside Robbo, he seems like a Wilder kind of player.

 
Oh, I also think Òne leaves for a derogatory fee.
 
Hard to know with the new owners.

I wouldn't be surprised if we start with not many changes other than loans/contracts being up as football is such a insane industry where it's left late by all clubs to some degree
 
We’re f**ked part 2 - hence why we need wilder. But not necessarily his tactics. If the majority of the core of a team is Seriki, Peck, Arblaster and Burrows we are severely underestimating the need for experience. Let’s not get up our own arses about our younger players. They’re good, but, not let’s rest the hopes of automatic promotion/playoffs on them good.

There seems to be a widespread assumption that Hamer will be on his way, but on what basis?

Gus simply does not fit the profile. It isn’t sufficient in the top flight to be skilful. These days, skilful players also have to be powerful athletes - in fact, that factor seems to be more important than the skill element.

Pretty much every established Premier League side is full of tall, muscular, powerful, quick players. The likes of Palace, Bournemouth, Brentford and Brighton are full of them. If anything, it is only the absolute elite teams - specifically Man City - who get away with playing some skilful players of relatively small stature, but that is because they can’t afford the very best world class footballers. And, even then they need the likes of Rodri in as a minder, otherwise they can become vulnerable.

Some fans were surprised that Berge was sought after by Premier League clubs, but they shouldn’t have been because his size gives him the sought after ability to cover the pitch effortlessly.

So, I’m not sure that Gus will necessarily be a target. A promoted side is perhaps the only likely suitor. But, I’m not sure he is what either Sunderland or Burnley will look for.

That leaves the Dirties. We know their CEO/Directors had a moan about not getting Hamer in Summer 2023, and then tried to nick him again in Summer 2024, so it can’t be put past them to come again…even if only through spite. It would be quite an expensive exercise if they just want to make a point, though.

I don't think anyone is pinning their hopes on just those players, afterall, weve just paid £10m plus for Cannon, surely he's the man for next season!

I completely agree. Souza and maybe Anel are the ones premier league clubs will be thinking about.
 
Hopefully a huge rebuild. With the exception of Peck and Cooper there's nobody I'd be particularly gutted to lose (for the right money). Even those...if they go for the right £ they're far from irreplaceable. Those with two years or less on their deals should be offer new contracts or moved on. It should be exciting times if it's done right.

Been saying this all season. If PL teams were actually interested, they'd have bought him last Summer. Not sure a good season in the Championship translates to PL success these days. It's not 1997 anymore and we've seen the gulf is now so big.

CL Player of the Season maybe, but unlike us, PL teams scout thoroughly and actually review the data (unlike our manager). Means when they see how he blows out of his arse after 60 mins at Championship level and gets booked most games, I don't think he's going to be as in demand as we think.

Cooper and Peck on the other hand....
